So, after making a fail thread because I haven't read up on the latest information, I decided that I'd make an attempt to redeem my self in making a thread that actually makes sense.

I know that my first character will be a pew pew machine, using all sorts of cool looking magics and such, though to expand a bit I'm probably going to pick an " element " such as Frost or Fire and go through with that.

Probably max attack (dual wield swords, or sword-dagger), while not having to worry about defending myself (heavy armor). That's my favourite way

A one handed blade with light armor and a shield...

I'm not sure yet, but I'll just quote my post from the other thread.

Maybe a combination of ninja, robin hood, and pew pew from the given choices of combat styles.

I will play the typical Breton. The one that is an amazing spell caster, with amazing armor protection, that can use melee weapons amazingly well.

Ideally, a ninja.

Realistically, as usual, the Homer Simpson class. Hmmm, preetty trees. D'oh d'oh d'oh stairs !

I haven't really decided yet. I'm thinking of an Imperial who uses sword and shield, a Nord who uses two handed weapons and a Dunmer who uses spells and swords. I have no idea which one I'm going to create and play as first, probably the Nord, but I'll have to wait till I have more details about the game to decide.

Paladin. I love swords and shields, but a little magic is good.

I'm gonna be an altmer battlemage with a halberd and medium armor and use paralyzing shock spells.

I couldn't live without destruction, illusion, pole-arms, and medium armor.

Ninja-Robin Hood Hybrid.
Or a full-out Juggernaut.

I'll test out dual-wielding before I actually make a "real" character, and if it's done well my first character is going to be a dual-wielding barbarian. Otherwise it will probably be a pretty standard warrior character.

Pure Mage- primarily a conjurer.

We are talking about skyrim not morrowind :sadvaultboy:

I'll be making a light footed blademaster.light armour,dual weild, block,athletics(if still their)Kind of a foot solider.Also good with a bow for ranged murder.

Fighter-type, dual-wield daggers and light armor. Head on, no sneaking

A Breton Spell-For-Hire who emigrated to Skyrim because he was not skilled enough in battle magics to become apart of the Spellguard...poor guy...

I always start out with a spellsword. I'll have a Sword in one hand and a spell in another. This is going to be the first game where I can truly be a spellsword. In Morrowind you couldn't really be a spellsword seeing as how spells and weapons were separate. In Oblivion, you got closer, but if you were using spells there was no reason to use sword most of the time. Now in Skyrim, I can use a sword and spell simultaneously and to good effect.

My general approach will likely be -

Stealth/Illusion
Find most favorable position to attack/defend from
Poison arrow sneak attack ideal start
Magic to attempt to keep them at a distance
Small blade if/when they get close
Illusion + Athletics if I'm in over my head
Restoration/Alchemy(Healing pots) to recuperate any damage afterward

Pretty much fight as dirty/cheap as possible and run like a coward when it doesn't work.

i think i know that :thumbsup:

I'm going to continue my current Oblivion play-style: Stealthy Mage. Using my characters right hand for a shortsword and the left possibly switching between a dagger or shordsword and spells. Though definitely spells.

I'm going to be an axe/spear wielding light infantry.

Run in fast, hit hard ,take my plunder, and get the hell out.

A mix of the Juggernaut and the Paladin, remove any offensive spells from the paladin and give my Juggernaut a mace with his shield and you got my character. I′m going for the ultimate defense at the cost of any or even all damage, if I must only do 1 damage each hit to have the best possible defense then so be it, I′m taking heavy armor, block, alteration, restoration, armorer(smith ?) and conjuration (1 enemy hitting me and 1 hitting conjured animal = more defensive than 2 enemies hitting me) and then blunt (or 1-h) with skill with a mace I may be able to bash my enemy away or stun him (and that makes him do less damage to me).

Any opportunity I can find to take less damage I will take... heck I may even go into destruction if only to cast a "damage strength" spell on my enemies, but that would be one of the last things on my list of skills to level up.

Some sort of rustic survivalist character. Marksman, short blade, alchemy, armorer, light armor, security, sneak, and possibly illusion. (Assuming those skills are present. If not, something akin to it.) I will roam the land living off the beasts and plant life I find, and bartering my way to survival where I may.

First time through I'm going for Juggernaut. Always has been my preferred style of play in Oblivion. After that I want to try something that mixes archery and magic, maybe with a touch of blade in there for good measure, although it depends what the game is like.

Ninja + Robin Hood
