Creating a character like the Skyrim trailers main guy.

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:07 pm

I was thinking of playing Skyrim again as the main guy in the trailers of Skyrim or the guy in the background of the forum I suppose.

Kind of role-playing as him for the main storyline as I think it will fit and be fun. Also a good way not to overpower myself with enchanting/smithing/alchemy ect. I will be on Adept because I think it's the best for role-playing, especially when I usually role as pure classes.

What race, skills and perks do you think he would have?

I'm thinking something like this.
Nord
Perks - http://go.ign.com/vllYeT
As for the Health and Stamina. I'm either thinking 1:1 or maybe 1:2 - Health:Stamina

He's basically a warrior with heavy armor and a sword and shield. For the perks I don't even know if the level 100 one-handed back attack paralyze is worth it as I have read parlyzing something big doesn't have an effect. Is this for melee as well or just certain spell versions?

Also what side do you think he'd support? Stormcloaks or the Empire? Do you think he'd be a good guy? What do you think he'd be like?

He isn't wearing all heavy armor, though. That is an iron helmet. But it looks like he has Studded Leather Armor, then Iron gauntlets (gloves, w/e they are called), then Leather boots. Then he has a steel sword in his left hand, and some kind of enchanted Dwarven dagger in his right. (Based on forum backround) However in the trailer he has a steel sword main hand, and a leather shield. A very odd mix of heavy and light armors. I think the Dev's were going for what looked cool. Not exactly what was practical. :P

Yeah. I too noticed about his mix of armor. And I was thinking about his sword and shield combo, maybe duel wielding at random times as well. I am role-playing and instead of playing on Master difficulty for the challenge I think role-playing on Adept is quite fun, and also adds a challenge but not a stressful one. Trying to play this character on Master I think would be suicide. Unless you run up to an enemy slash him then run back a bit, then rinse and repeat. I bet ranged would kill you too.

I think I might just pass on this guy as it might get a little boring after having the same gear for too long. I'll just stick to my 2H, Light armor, Nord Barbarian.
