What class are you gonna start with? : V

» Wed May 18, 2011 9:10 pm

For me personally, I think I'm going to be an assassin/ or archer first, that is in my first playthough, then perhaps a mage. Most likely for the mage I'll focus on destruction spells, alteration or conjuration.
I'm going to pick the race when I get to look at them all together with the descriptions, what about you all?

I am aware that classes are gone, but what you chose to be is still under the class ladder. Warrior, assassin, mage, archer, you tell me

Classes are gone, and I'm so happy for it.

I'll just play the game, try some different things at the start, and see which one I like the most and then continue on that road.
Right now, I imagine I'll be a paladin with a 2-handed sword, because I've always leaned towards that build.

Most likely a Bosmer archer, unless i'm really impressed with how another race looks or really appalled with how Bosmer look.

No classes from which to pick, bro. My playstyle is a nice mix of stealth and combat...

You do realise there ARE NO CLASSES?

This has been stated and complained about on at least 47000 different occurrences.

Edit:

I hate being ninja'd.

Classed are gone, which was a great decision. They're getting rid of restrictiveness and redundancy.

My first character will be a male Nord. I'll use mainly swords and destruction magic.

ima be a warrior that isnt afraid to pull out a bow and hit a head shot from a ways away

Nord warrior with sword and shield

Even though classes are gone, i will follow the code of Barbarians...which is simple fight,drink,hit on wenches,and get treasure....not in that order

Except, this time it was done by an actual ninja.... :happy:

Ok, by classes i meant not what is offered in Oblivion, but rather how are you planning to play the game in your first playthough. I am sorry. ok?

» Thu May 19, 2011 10:58 am

Khajiit for sure, but either assassin or polearm(hopefully a European styled halberd)-wielding barbarian. That's based on a coin flip.

Human Battlemage, final race choice will be determined by racial perks/bonuses etc. Then either an Orc/Nord barbarian, Elf Nightblade or duel wielding Ranger.

Yeah i really wanna see what class has the best perks for being silent, or better with the bow. I think that probably takes out my chances of orc, although I will definitly have Orc be my warrior class. They are just too awesome. I'm thinking perhaps human or some form of nord for my assassin/archer playthough.

^ Different races will have different perks?!11!?

No one told me this....

» Thu May 19, 2011 1:00 am

I have no set goal in mind for my character. i am just gonna play, and see where i end up.

I hope so. That was just pure speculation on my part, nothing has been confirmed yet I believe.

Also, what do you guys think of having a companion on your travels? I hate to bring FO into this but like dogmeat, or rex, or Faux, Lily, etc.

Perhaps if you befriend a traveler enough in a tavern, they will ask to join you on your adventure. Or if someone helps you out, but secretly the are spying on you, they will ask to be your companion? This could offer many sidequests of their own.

Holy fudgenuts and butter........ That just blew my mind. I am going to love this game, regardless.

» Wed May 18, 2011 10:51 pm

I think its a pretty safe guess that each class is going to have its perks and disadvantages. Thats what made the choosing part in Oblivion so fun.

» Wed May 18, 2011 8:09 pm

I'm having a hard time deciding what I'll play. My favorite class/race combination is a Dunmer Battlemage, however a Nordic Warrior is really sounding nice. So either one of those too.

» Thu May 19, 2011 9:02 am

Argonian battlemage most likely.
