I've an idea - you know the Imperial Captain, who spawns in the keep when you go in with Ralof? Why not have, when you enter with Hadvar, her spawn dead with the Stormcloaks? She's wearing heavy armor, and you can put a bow and some arrows in her inventory, as well as an Imperial Sword. Completely levels the playing field for going in with both Ralof or Hadvar.
this is a great idea, i've thought about doing it myself.
it was kinda a pain that i fyou wanted Heavy armor and follow Hadvar that you we're outta luck til ya got to Riverwood atleast. altho, i think the iron armor on the dead guy might be a little over kill, maybe a set of fur armor instead for those that want to follow Ralof and not wear the Imperial light stuff.
downloaded for my next char who will be a heavy armor user.
Yes, you could go up 1 or 2 ranks in your chosen weapon before you get it normally. If you don't like the idea, just don't comment, I made this because I wanted to be given a choice of all types of weapons and armour at the very beginning of the game. Also if you go with Hadvar, you have to buy Heavy armour as you won't find it in Helgen.
Definitely something needed. I was surprised at how limited the options were when you first started out as a prisoner and escaping, how you were given so few choices to start your character out. In some ways it makes sense, but in others, people want to do a bit of exploring before heading out on the main quest and gathering items immediately.
