A cookie to the person that can beat mine.

I reached level 80 with my sword & board nord.

I suffered extreme restartitis with my early characters. The first guy I remember made it to level 20ish, beat the Dawnguard questline but sputtered halfway through the main quest. He had become a vampire and just didn't feel like the save the world type.

I'm not 100% he was actually my first, though. It could be one of the guys I made who got to level ten or so before I had a new character concept and started over.

I think my first character was maybe level 25 or so, when I realized I was really not using the game to it's potential and I needed to rethink my character... I like sword and board, but it bores me to tears rather quickly.

Cookie to all the people who actually remember. All I remember was that my first Skyrim character was nord.

My first Argonian Illusionist/Archer is retired at level 28.

40+ I think then I got bored.

I think mine was a Redguard and didn't make it to Riverwood, I restarted with another Redguard. The first few didn't last long, I think my first long run was with Tikka, an Argonian female jack of all trades.

My very first character reached level 1. Never got their hands untied. Alduin would land on the tower and just stare at him and not allow the quest to progress.

My first character was also my first every foray into TES and made it to 53 before I restarted. I learned so much on the way, that I wanted to start from scratch with that new found knowledge and see how things went.

He was dual weilding Redguard named Cain.

My first made it to level 56. But I had no idea what I was doing. He was a character that more or less let me learn the game so he ended up being a jack of all trades.
