I'll play more as a warrior and sometimes use stealth when possible. I'm not much of a magic person. I'll only have a few necessary spells

Same here. Well, I will actually play the game more than once and try to use more spells. Nevertheless, I will play a Nord warrior in my first game.

Same.. Though I am thinking of at least trying the magic this time around cause it looks pretty awesome.

I keep thinking about a nord bard, but most likely she'll turn into another altmer mage during character creation.

Gandalf character.

Breton Mage of dragon-slaying awesomeness

I'll be playing a sorcerer type character. A pure mage that wears heavy armor

Who honestly make sjust one character?

First character for me will be pure fighter, A worn out, fat old man who uses a two handed axe. Second character will be pure mage. Third character, I dont know yet, pure stealth or some sort of hybrid character.

Usually favor Jack of all trade chars but not really all trades, Mainly up close personal brute like char, Sneaking when needing to and picking off anyone I can while undetected either with Bow or sword, very low magic powers just enough to heal and kill things immune to my sword.

Sneaking through the shadows... i hear the slightest sound from around the corner. I take a ring from by bag and put it on. Twisting it around my finger three times while uttering the words of power that would tap into its store of arcane power. suddenly i see the foe as there life pulses through the walls revealing itself to my mind. It is a band of brigands who lie in wait hoping to catch the intruder in their midst. I unsling my bow and prepare my daggers. I knock an arrow and prepare to engage. I peak around the corner with my arrow leading already drawn back. Thwack It hits home into the skull of a bandit whos neck snaps back from the force. the enemy barely has time to know what is happening before i have knocked and relased two more. but then they relize my position in the shadows and charge. i curse, dropping my instrument of death from afar and slide my daggers from their sheaths. they have been enchanted not a day before with the unholy power to drain the life from others and fortify my own health with it. i weave past ones defenses before his commrades draw near slitting his throat. one with a giant hammer smacks one knife from my hands. I yell out the words for invisibilty and dissapear right infront of the confused man. i appear just behind him out of thin air stabbing into his back unexpecedly. the last panics with fear and runs dropping his weapon. i drink a potion to soothe my wounded hand but the bandit has already gone far ahead. I pick my bow up again. Knock. Draw. Release. the bandit falls on his face, his heart peirced with my arrow.

lol got carried away sorry i love writing stories. any way i will use my bow and arrow to strike from stealth and use enchanment and a sprinkling of magic to accomidate my tactics as well as a bit of dagger weilding to use the extra damage from stealth that is now present in game.

First character will most likely be a Breton-pure mage.

I will play most combinations, eventually.

Warrior, I'll be using a greatsword, so there won't be much room for beating around the bush nor stealthy antics. (I'll also be specializing in Restoration type magic as well. Paladin FTW.) :tops:

Dude, that was epic same thing for me

My Dunmer is a jack of all trades. He focuses on Archery, One-Handed, Light Armor, Sneak, Restoration, and Destruction. With the new crafting system, he'll probably incorporate all three skills. My true character, is a bit of a different story. Most of my Oblivion playthroughs were with a female Maormer, and so I'll be learning how to mod in a new race (and how much of the body mesh I can alter per race). She's not a very combat-oriented character. She uses an enchanted sword and destruction for her damage. She focuses on stealth, daggers, and illusion to dispatch the majority of her enemies. She calls on spirits with conjuration to aid her against multiple foes. She maintains herself with Alteration and Restoration, straying away from armor in order to maximize her spell effectiveness (I like to play with modded spell effectiveness that makes it impossible to reach 100% while wearing armor).

I prefered magic in Oblivion, but I think I'll enjoy some of the new stealth elements. My thief is especially looking forward to that x10 dagger damage multiplier

All my characters tend to have various elements of stealth in their builds. I just have too much fun as a thief character to ever give up on those elements entirely. Though this time around I might make a battlemage with no stealth elements, outside of security, just to see if it's any funner this time around.

nord or redguard warrior with sneak

My first character will be sword & spell. Most likely with light armor.

Since Morrowind, my first serious character has always been a Dunmer Ranger. This time he'll be focusing on Speechcraft, Bows, 1 handed, A little bit of stealth, Alchemy and will likely dabble in Illusion as always. And just like his ancestors, he'll be the Greatest Hunter of mythological beasts (I.E. Vamps and Lycans) in the land

First play through. Warrior, heavy armor and a shield. Then everything else

thief w/ Alchemy

Definitely going with High Elf conjurer to start. Second will be assassin (stealth + alchemy)

Playthrough every possible kind of character, most likely multiple times. That's just me.

first character will be an altmer stealth/mage hybrid.
