A big poll, for your character

Post » Thu Jun 30, 2011 8:27 pm

Your favorite character, not your "speed run" character, or your main quest character, your favorite character.

Edit: Accidently pressed enter while making poll. Fixing now.

Edit: Sorry, had to enter all the choices again.

Very limited weapon choices there: I will go with heavy armor and 2-handed hammers + some magic.

Stealthy magic user.. Bow, duel short blades.. I voted medium/light armor because I would like it back but I doubt it's in the game.. So it'll be light armor for me.

Neutral evil stealth assassin. Dual wielding and bow. I always enjoy this role the most, and it comes the most "naturally". I like to play many other ways, but have to make much more of a conscious effort to remain in character.

I'm much the opposite.

Chaotic Good Warrior. Sword/Shield and bow. This comes most naturally to me. (which is weird because I'm as far from the "strong warrior" IRL as possible.)

lawful evil is the creepiest alignment imo...

hmm, lawful evil, loincloth, dual wielding staves... Not what I picked, but that would be a messed up character

Edit: Loincloth doesn't seem 'lawful' ... so instead:

Lawful evil, heavy armor, female, orc, dual staves, style would be 'stealth' but only because she uses speechcraft and mercantile skills as a pawn shop merchant who sadistically enjoys exploiting the impoverished people of Skyrim. Also a volunteer executioner.

I guess chaotic neutral is you don't pick sides but you make things go a little crazy... and the lawful evil is like corrupt guards, like in that one oblivion quest.

Lawful evil would be someone who abides by laws but exhibits destructive values. I would say an executioner who enjoys being an executioner would be lawful evil. A corrupt guard isn't really lawful evil since his corruption isn't lawful. It is hard to be evil and also lawful, since laws try to forbid or punish as many 'evil actions' as possible, so it is more of why the person does a legal action that makes it evil, rather than trying to focus on inherently good or evil actions. Also, "evil" is defined by personal values, so you could I guess define it however you want.

Heavy Armour
1h w/shield with bow
Neutral Good
Warrior

I plan on RPing as a disgraced Knight, expelled from his order for slaying a noble after he caught the said noble forcing himself on an unwilling servant girl. When I say slaying, I mean losing his temper and torturing the noble before finally killing him (that will be his crime for which he is about to be executed for at the beginning of the game).

Thats what my main character in OB was like, a brutal killer but only killing evildooers. The kind of guy that the most powerful, evil, arrogant men have nightmares about.

Stealth based mage/archer. I really like the new way bows are being handled; slow fire rate, massive damage.

Magic warrior that is pure neutral with wearing medium armor but if it's not in the game it'll be heavy.

Now that's choosing from the poll, my main character will have a little of everything but be pure neutral. Depends on the mood you know?

Heavy armor, 2hand weapons, ((mostly swords.)) Bows and spell to spell. Seathly/warrior. With some magic when needed. ((healering and fireballs.)) I role a hybrid of chaotic neutral and lawful evil. Not sure what race I will play or six. Depends on stats and if 3rd person will be better then first person.

Hoping stats of male and females are different for each race as well.

Heavy armor/ 1-hd with shield/ Lawful Good/ Magic and Combat. I will be roleplaying as a princess that turned away from her family and became a traveling healer and Knight. Helping out the little people and never backing down from a challenge or helping others.

you do not pick your Alignment in elderscrolls games like you do in D&D. He is asking more about your play style. Elder Scrolls is normally great with the quest in their games. ((oblivion removed roleplay from the game thanks to the quest marker. Which removes the choses you can do per quest.))

What he is asking is when your quest give you a chose. What will you do?

Here is an example from morrowind. You find an excape slave. What do you do.
A.) Take him to the underground place that helps free slaves.
B.) take to the slave capital and sell him.
C.) Kill him for being an excape slave.

Then you have to think. If you chose A.) What do you do next?
Do you tell the gaurd about the free slaves? Do you let them be? Do you kill them all?

Your Alignment is based more about your actions. Your actions will give you points in Fame and Infamy.

I hope you have a better idea of what he is asking. If you need more help here is a link for you. The website has some examples of fictional characters that fit is role.

FYI I think batman is more lawful evil and not lawful good. After all he is a criminal. superman is Lawful good.

I always try to use light armor so that I can be stealthy and more true to my ambitions of marksman and sneak, but end up liking the look of heavy armor and shields more, and leveling it up faster anyway!
