I just want to see the numbers of who's going to be what for their first two playthroughs.

Nightblade and assassins sounds appealing.

Was originally going with a Dunmer assassin first, now I'm going with a Bosmer ranger, maybe a barbarian.

Added another question: Will you be doing both playthroughs...

I'll be doing both characters at the same time.

Nord Warrior
Dunmer Ranger

Im doing like a Druid / moon priestess Khajiit (Healer with nature/ summoning spells) for my first playthrough.^O^

When mods come out im gonna play my Main Altmer (pure healer) shes like a princess or royalty idk if thats a class but whatever lol ~! main dmg from companion. she'll heal/sheild/buff/defend him and herself. 2cnd playthrough. ^_~ !

one after the other. ~! <3

Hard question. It's been a long while since I played TES and I never bothered to pick a preset class unless it was as obvious as Warrior, Mage or Thief.
My first playthrough will be almost exclusively melee for a while and join the Companions or that's what I expect anyway. If I didn't practice enough magic with my first character to join the College, I'll want to play as a battlemage or a full mage, but I can't tell whether it'll precede my thief/stealth character, which I'll want to do as well and join the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood, no later than my third attempt.

I plan on doing my 2nd and 3rd playthrough concurrently, but only after I'm done/far along on my 1st.

My first will most definitely be a mage, I'll occasionally use a sword or a bow, but the main emphasis will be magic.

My 2nd and 3rd playthrough will be an Orc barbarian warrior type, and a ranger type. My only problem is that I can't find out which race to use for my ranger class. I keep feeling drawn towards the Dunmer and Bosmer, but I feel like I should give the human races a try. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Two or more at the same time? Wow, that's something I even never considered. :blink:

Doesn't that get confusing and/or boring?

Ranger-Scout-Archer-Spellsword. Thats my class. But I just say Ranger 'cause I feel like Aragorn. :blush:

I tend to gravitate to a stealthy marksmanship based class my first playthrough and my second is usually warrior but I may use mage instead. I'm at http://mylittlefacewhen.com/f/551/ for mage atm.

itd be like reading 2 books at the same time or watching 2 movies at the same time. I couldnt do it, like I like focusing on 1 so i can rlly get into it you know what I mean ? or am I going Bonkers? @_@ ~!

First playthrough: Crusader.
Second playthrough: Undecided.
I will do one after another.

First playthrough: Pure Mage

Second playthrough: A spell assassin. I didn't put Nightblade down because Nightblade always had skills I didn't really like. So I changed some of them around. But it's still an assassin who uses spells.

I will be doing both characters at the same time. Just like I did Oblivion.

Are people not getting the point of this thread or just not reading anything? It's a first and second playthrough. Both completely separate from each other very different from the play 2 classes in 1 playthrough that some people seem to talk about. Or maybe I'm just going nuts.

Nord Barbarian and Breton Mage heeeelllllll yeah

Boring in an Open World game? perhaps if you do the same exact things

was talking about myself not for others, was just stating that i wouldn't beable to do it srry if u took it the wrong way hehe ~ ^_~ <3 ~ !

cause just like another post said, it'd probably confuse me is all im saying to put it short lol ~! ^_~

I know for a fact my first character will be what I call a "generic barbarian Nord". Since I'm playing dead is dead, I wanna just whip up a generic barbarian type who I'm not likely to get too attached to. His name will be Blade & Bone...Speak to Me!, although I may have to just shorten this to "Blade & Bone".

I anticipate he'll die early, although it sounds like those Quakecon reviewers had an easy time early on in their games. I don't recall any of them dying when they got to play for that hour. :shrug:

I have no idea what my second character will be at all, which is a beautiful thing. I like mystery. I will do these 2 characters one after the other, most likely, although who knows what'll really happen?



Heh ha, I currently have 4 active characters in Oblivion, although I've really only been focusing on 1 of them over the last month. Yes it gets confusing, but never boring.

Sorry to have to use your post as the example. I meant no offense. Actually it seems I skipped over the OP's later statement of how he would be doing both playthroughs at one time (two separate games at once) so it was ME who has http://mylittlefacewhen.com/f/164/ today. My apologies.

I never really know until I play, I just start playing, and whatever just feels fun, I try. This is why I like the system where you don't have a set class, so if I started out as a mage, I could still use 2 handed hammers later in the game and vice versa.

Orc War-Leader and Dunmer Scout. Simultaneously.

Warrior & warrior, one after the other... :whistling:

I might make a 3rd character- Not sure yet though. My first two characters are the same races I 'ALWAYS' play. So my 3rd would be a race I would rarely play- Probably an Orc Barbarian or a Bosmer Barbarian

Heh, I'll probably wind up making like 10 to 20 characters over the years! I've already got ideas for 3 characters whom will dwell in Skyrim after I get more confident with the game.

Gavin Hedd: homosixual dandy, he will be "in the closet" for awhile. Will probably be Breton. Terrible fighter, terrible magic-user. He'll probably just dwell in the first major town he finds, and try to start some sort of a trade. He'll be a good cook and maybe some sort of an import / exporter.

I wanna make a Xena type warrior who's good at sword, acrobatics, and minor healing spells

I'll def try a druid at some point.Been wanting to play one in Oblivion, problem is the vanilla game has a shallow wilderness with few creatures (that aren't hostile).

Mage then Knight.
