I was looking at a character hunter/ woodsman thread and it got me thinking.

I know a lot of people (including me) create characters with specific skills in mind and although Skyrim gives you more freedom with skills, it will still make more sense to focus on a specific few. So with the seven skills from Oblivion in mind what will you pick for your starting character?

As for me:

Blade (one in each hand; short in the left, long in the right)
Marksman/ Archery (longbow preferably)
Light Armour (or Medium if they have it and its not too bulky)
Sneak
Armourer
Alchemy

Note: I am not quite sure how this will transfer over in Skyrim. I hope they release more info on skills and armour @ E3!

Light Armor,Marksman,Blade,Block,Alchemy,Mercantile,Speechcraft.
My typical character is an Imperial Ranger,so Skyrim will suit him just fine.

you should make a pool

I haven't desided yet, but sneak and one handed + marksman or destruction.

Restoration, Alteration, 2 handed weapon, block.

Fortify 2handed wep. to 100, fortify armor to max, then rip the opponent to pieces.

Lol

conjuration, alteration, iliusion, alchemy, blunt, unarmored (or light amor)

Plan on playing a battlemage-esque character. So Alteration, Destruction, Illusion, Restoration, One-handed weapon (Mace for the armour ignoring perks) and armour (probably Light but maybe Medium if it's included).

I did that in Oblivion... though did not work well when I got mobbed.

Or, if that fails, I'll resume my Illusion,Restoration,Conjuration method. Frenzy stuff then Conjure something to kill the last mob.

Definitely alchemy, sneak, destruction and restoration. I use them all the time so I don't see why I should stop now. Possibly blade too, but not marksman, I'm awful with a bow, I've never been able to get the hang of it.

Destruction, Alchemy, Alteration, Illusion, One Handed Weapons, Speechcraft, Enchanting.

I love the bow. I never really miss..too much time dipping sniper bullets on BFBC2 on Harvest Day

I have to say I never used Alchemy but now I am on my 6th or something play through on Oblivion and I am loving it. Still getting to grips with the best plants etc. but I made a very nice poison yesterday : )

Difficult to say because we don't have a complete skilllist yet.
But definitely Illusion and Enchanting

Probably most of the Stealth skills, not sure beyond that.

first play through ill be using: sneak, marksman, destruction, alteration, conjuration, and illision. i havnt decided on any others yet, maybe alchemy.
