Your first playthrough build,

Post » Sun Oct 09, 2011 7:14 am

What will you play as first time around, how will your progress your character? Will you be a argonian thief? What armor will you restrict yourself to? What weapon will you prefer?

I mentioned this before, but I will go play pretty standard, but with a historical twist. I plan on picking a Nord warrior, and basing my character on stories of Danish berserkergang. For instance, my character wil forgo armor in favor of fur hides [bearshirt!], and yet use melee combat exclusively. To be historically accurate I'll apparently need a spear weapon, so hopefully modders can put that in quickly.

Following this paradigm, my character will level melee weapons, endurance, strength, etc., and be notably deficient in magic abilities and social skills. Obviously, if there is a faction option my character will be in Skyrim's armed forces (probably not I'm guessing), but still be as imfamous due to frequent rages/accidental killings.

I'll be the stealthiest Nord there ever was and will be.

One-handed blades and bow.

Breton mage who HATES Nords. Will be committing Nordic genocide after completing the MQ.

As far as weapons and what not, I will never equip a weapon. All magic, all the time.

Vehk Othren (named for Vivec, of course), descendant of one of Almalexia's Hands, come to Skyrim by boat from Solstheim to give aid to the refugees from the conquered Morrowind. Captured by the Nords for illegally smuggling himself into the country and to be executed for "Treason."

One Handed
Block
Heavy Armor
Armorer
Restoration
Speechcraft

Hates the Empire due to them allowing the Argonians to occupy his homeland, even more than his distrust of the Nords, so will likely be joining the Stormcloaks and the Companions. Will probably view his Dragonborn status as a gift from either his namesake or his Ancestors, instead of the Divines.

First play through will be to complete the main quest only. So I will make my character a generic Nord with no personality whatsoever. After I complete the main quest, his soul will be recycled, and my real RP will begin :foodndrink:
