Whiterun Residents

Some useful ways of recording data in this game is to go about and talk to the residents of the game. In this case I went and talked to the residents of Whiterun. Through talking to the residents of Whiterun I learned a lot about the community and the what was going on in the world of Skyrim. This included information about how certain residents feel about other residents and who blames who for the war along with which side they are on. It appears that the majority of people living in Whiterun are Nords because most people appear to have human characteristics however I do run into the occasional Khajiit on the outskirts of town. Most people sound the same however there are a few accents and once I struck up a conversation I found out that most people with accents were from a different place in Skyrim. Many individuals brought up what was going on in their life and sometimes this would lead to me having to go on a quest in order to help them out. For instance, one lady was trying to open a market however she had to impress someone so she asked if I could go out and retrieve something for her. There appears to be more of a pathos appeal used because the residents make it seem as if they absolutely need me to complete the quest.
When talking to the residents it appears that the creators of the game want the player to say certain things to the residents in order to get a reaction. When talking to the residents, I had many choices of what I could say however I always went through and said all of the options that I could. Normally one of these responses would lead to either a quest or me learning something new about the world of Skyrim.
Within the town there appear to be everyday town jobs like their used to be in the past. This includes a marketplace where everyone sells their products such as meat, jewlery, weapons, etc. There is also a bar that offers a place to sleep and  a temple located toward the center of town. In terms of location, the market with all of the differnt venders is located more toward the center of town while one of the weapon stores and the bar are located at the front of the town.
