So, I am rerolling Again. I have 3 characters around level 15, and about 4 at level 4ish. I dont play very often, but when I do I tent to put in a good 4-5 hours. The only problem is when I start playing again after a few days I decide I dont like my character anymore. Anyone else have this? and a way to get passed it? Most are fully fleshed out characters.. backstories etc. I dunno. If I play through the intro again I think I will frisbee the disk at the wall.

I did this once so far. I had planned on making a character that used poisons, ax perk, and shield to just wear opponents down. I then realized the ax perk bleed really doesn't do that much damage over time and I restarted. Maces are SO much better imo.

Been playing my "new" first character ever since. Though as soon as I finish the civil war and main quest, I'll be starting a new character, either a mage for the mage guild or a warrior for the companion quest series.

Usually if I keep restarting a game, I find I am not interested in it enough to finish it, and I'm trying to find a way that I'll enjoy it more. Most of the time I do not finish said game. With Skyrim I have not had that issue at all.

Possibly, I guess I am interested though, I think it's awesome when I'm playing. When I start again though, something just doesnt feel right. Maybe its due to me liking a more old school kind of gaming, but I really do enjoy skyrim despite the things I dislike about it, so HOPEFULLY if I put enough thought into this character I can have one which lasts.

You're lucky Vampiresbane

after rerolling countless chars, i finally set my mind on a RP char, tired of min/maxing

pick class you feel best with, play as you seem fit


Profit !

I'm just an altaholic. Always have been. So I'm currently juggling four characters. I have my pure mage, heavy combat, light combat and archer. And I jump between them as I like. They're all in their mid 20s to low 30s.

I get up to about Level 30, sometimes Level 40 as quickly as I can then I suddenly get an idea for a character that might be more fun to play as and then suddenly I have a massive urge to start everything over again.

It's quite a pain!

I already know exactly what I'm going to do with my next character and how I plan to build him, but I want to finish the MQ with my original character first.

Pretty much the same-- it is not that I get bored with the game/character, but that I have other ideas of what might be fun, and try a new character from scratch... :/

I went through about 5 characters before I finally settled in on my current one. This is however my first TES game so I chalk most of that up to not knowing how the game played and experimenting to find a look and style that I was happy with.

Yeah I'll be doing that this time.. Now... what to roleplay.. ... .. dammit. Haha. I HAD a khajiit sneak type character, but then made the mistake of joining th ethieves guild, and they made me do stuff which was totally against the morals I had for him, so now he feels fake. There's nothing else you can really do with a sneak character though.. except I guess the brotherhood.



Yeah I did that for a while, but then didn't play for a week and wanted a new character >: ( hah!



Yes. This is it. You have restartitus. I feel bad for you =(

I've got seven characters so far, most of who haven't gotten past level 10. And I've gotten some ideas for a new character too. Each new character I make is an exploration of a different playstyle, so I'm going to try making a character that relies primarily on his crafting abilities - a sort of 'artificer' type character.

Yah I'm planning on making an artificer type character too, but then.. OP apparently..

I rolled a stealthy hunter when I hit 45 on my main, but I just couldn't get into it. Stealth and rogue play are so easy mode they svcked all the fun out of everything.

I have that problem. I've restarted at least 10 times. I've went trhough every possible combination at least twice. I've got a pure destro mage up to around 50 (lol at those threads saying they're not viable. I'm on expert, too.), and a dual wield warrior in light armor up to around 45 now, but I keep rerolling new characters, trying different types of mages, and warriors, and sneak characters, but I can't decide. I had this same problem in Morrowind and Oblivion. I just can't decide what best fits me until I've tried everything over and over it seems.

I would love to restart as a cat dude but I can't be arsed to do that begining bit. Bores the living bejesus out of me.

Never happend to me.

I'm infected with Restartitus. It's not due to boredom or OPness, though. Whenever I get an idea for a new character I feel the need to start it immediately, resulting in a ton of unfinished characters. I've also had this problem with the Mass Effect series, I have about 4 fully completed Shepards and 5 that are still on disc 1 of ME2. After my test today, I'm starting a conjurer archer character, I still haven't decided what race it should be though...

Yeah I spent a week straight playing like 12 hour days on Morrowind when I first got it. Never got a character passed level 3. I got there in the end, but DAMN it took some time! Haha.

I most DEFINATELY have restartitis...It svcks! Have had it since Morrowind. But it seems like every RPG I play I ALWAYS make new characters...I dont know why lol. I guess its fun thinking of new characters and there backstory and all that..

I am Juggling 3 chars atm A 2hander Nord, an Assassiny Dunmer, and a Battlemage Altmer...I love ALL of them but I am already thinking about making another! (the Badass Orc from the loading screen is my inspiration and im sure is the inspiration for alot of other ppl lol)

But I guess its not all bad because if I juggle them equally, I can do pretty much all the different guilds at once w/o having 1 jack of all trades master of none character.

Just know that you are not alone! lol

We should start RA (Restarters Anonymous)...lol
"I have 30 days playtime and didnt restart ONCE!" *clap*clap*clap*

Also got the same, I'm on my fifth char now, without ever finishing the MQ
First post btw.

I have thrice now. Couldn't decide what kind of warrior I wantd. Heavy armor/heavy shield, Heavy armor/2H... I finally decided with Light armor/shield and haven't looked back. Didn't want to use console commands to reset my skills, so I restarted each time.

It's annoying ayye!

And I'd give you a fishy stick but I'm new myself =(! Have one anyway.http://www.uesp.net/wiki/General:Fishy_Stick

It doesn't bother me, because i think ten characters is going to be my full limit - One for each race in skyrim. I've set some rules for myself along these lines. No joining multiple major guilds, etc. Kind of disappointed that my assasain won't get nightengale armor -DB armor is ok, I just don't get to improve it even with arcane smith.

restartitis is kind of like ground hog day. Just live with your imperfect decisions and get in character. The game is built so that almost any character build can be made to work
