Guess what "mixed" means.

Mixed means all 3.

i play a thief/mage combo. mostly using thief abilities i do use illusion, alteration and restoration based spells.

Paladin on my first playthrough. Then probably a mage or a battle mage. Anyways warrior/mage types are my favourites.

I was a definite Warrior/Mage even split in Morrowind, with all the useful exploration spells like Mark/Recall, Waterwalking and Levitation.

In Oblivion I was still a Warrior/Mage but really only a token mage (I only used heal and open lock) as the game didn't require much magic.

Pure class: Thief

Mixed class: Thief/Warrior

More or less this.

Assassin/ranger types are the best to me.
Then i'll try paladin.
The magic in skyrim sounds ( so far) more appealing than ever to me,so will try mage at some point.
Also....i never choose destruction and marksman,i just don't like it,my funny way i suppose.
It's either "Blade" and " Bow"
Or "Blade" and "magic" destruction.
I dont like being good at all of them at the same time. I see destruction as ranged,like bow,but will only pick one or the other,never both. :thumbsup:

The 'mixed' option totally ruined this poll.

No, the OP did when he changed the "Mixed" choice to "Warrior/Mage" and added three more choices, both after most people probably already voted. (The "Mixed" option was only half ruining the poll.)

I often play as a warrior with a decent restoration skill. thats why i chose Nord's too.

I tend to be fighting alongside a horde of my summoned allies with a sword, shield and light armour. I also steal stuff for the challenge and change in pace. At least thats my roleplay reason for theivery. The real reason is because like most gamers, I am a [censored].

Same here.

I'm more of the ranger/worrier type. blade heavy but will use archery occasionally (like a Nord version of Aragon from LoTR)

» Mon Jul 12, 2010 7:29 am

I usually play as a Thief in basically all of my playthroughs. I've also played as a pure Warrior. :biggrin:

» Mon Jul 12, 2010 6:48 am

Well, I've voted on all 3 since I always plays jack-of-all-trades characters and they fit me the best (probably since I'm like that in my real life).
But still, out of the big 3 styles (if I were not allowed to pick any combination), my first favorite is mage, then thief and then warrior.

My favorites are ranger/assassin/thief types, in that order.

But I will still RP warriors and mages in different playthroughs.

» Mon Jul 12, 2010 8:42 am

in oblivion i was all 3 but since we will get more balanced skills and no allrounder i will be thief/warrior so basically an assassin who will fight with two short swords or if i can't block with two swords (didn't understand the new weapon system yet...) a short sword and a shield
i will stop using any spells because i won't equip them and alchemy gets a stealth skill so i will use it to heal myself etc.

Mage/Thief are the ones I generally do first. Warrior is a bit bland.

» Mon Jul 12, 2010 8:34 pm

Mage all day err day.

Studying magical tomes, making the universe bow to me, consorting with demons, making everyone around me look inferior by comparison.

Hells yeah.

» Mon Jul 12, 2010 6:07 pm

None of the above, and not really all 3.
I'll be playing a stealthy character, but not one who steals, that prefers ranged combat and sneak attacks with poisoned arrows, and uses magic for healing/utility/mobility.

I guess the closest thing is Mage/Thief though - if we're considering archery as a thief-like skill rather than warrior?

TBH I wish they'd just skip grouping the skills up into these three categories, it's kind of pointless now.

» Mon Jul 12, 2010 5:43 pm

Warrior/thief because I steal a lot and I come out with my blade swinging.

» Mon Jul 12, 2010 10:32 am

A mage-thief, but thieves can also fight like warriors that wear light equipment. Warriors in these kinds of games are usually the heavy armor, big wielding sword type, and the thief-type basically represents stealth. In Skyrim there's no more class system, so I could consider myself a stealthy warrior, with some useful arcane abilities. I don't like the whole warrior/thief/mage thing, and I'm glad the class system is dynamic now.

TBH I wish they'd just skip grouping the skills up into these three categories, it's kind of pointless now.

I don't think they are anymore. Or at least, you won't have to specialize in stealth/magic/combat anymore, so it won't affect how you level using your skills.

The warrior is usually my favorite playstyle for a 1st playthrough.

I think a lot of it has to do about my character preferences in movies. In LOTR, who is my favorite character? Gandalf or Aragorn? .............If you thought Aragorn you'd be right. I mean, how cool is it to be a world renown hero wielding a sword?
