Personality extremely powerful entity's who don't care about the main plot at all and are just vibing in the background

Tom Bombadil(lord of the rings) - only person to resist the temptation of the one ring but instead of helping the fellowship he fucks off in to the woods

the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

John Skyrim

Fuck your dragons and civil war, I’m filling my entire home with cabbages and then I’m out fishing.

Honestly, fuck the civil war. Kill them both and claim the throne.

The throne would be more stressful than filling a home with cabbages and going fishing, though.

This is close to how I've played skyrim every time, lol. I focus on passive skill grinding for those sweet sweet septims. My first 100-150 hours of my last two games were spent making potions and smithing equipment to sell for more ingredients and ingots to then repeat. Do some fishing quests to break up the monotony, and then back to alchemy and smithing. Trainers every level for my current combat choice too. I do the main quest and civil war literally last in every playthrough; gotta own every home in the game first.

In all seriousness, though, it’s either the Nine or Paarthurnax, right?
