I Want You Guys To Decide For Me..... : V

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:16 pm

Since the release of the new trailer, I've have been going back and forth on deciding what my first character will be...either a warrior or a mage. Before the release of trailer, I was leaning towards a warrior. But the trailer mind-screwed me and left me with a decision; and I thought I'd let you lovely people decide for me. And whatever has the most votes by 2:00 tomorrow morning...is what my first character will be.

Figher/Mage or Battle Mage, however you want to put it.

Both! There is no class system now!

Both! There is no class system now!

Yeah I know, but I want my first character to be 100% something, no mix. Later on down the road...definitely.

Figher/Mage

Yeah, why not be both? The new 'free' levelling system should let you make flexible decisions in your playing style.

You shall be a dual battle axe wielding Nordic killing machine.

No thief/rogue option? :sadvaultboy:

Oh, I know! You should be the sort that sneaks around in the shows, then leaps out swinging a massive battle axe in one hand and lightning in the other!

Trust me. I love being a thief/assassin. But my pereference is warrior or mage. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I feel like a father trying to get his kid to focus on books instead of partying.

Go mage. Enroll in the finest school in the land and study hard. One day you'll be a demi god among men while all the warrior jocks who spent all their time playing with swords are drunk in some tavern.

This is me role playing a mage BTW. I roll warrior too from time to time.

I voted for the option that currently caused the poll to be exactly 50/50. I suppose that was kind of mean, but I'm a fan of hybrid classes.

If I had to choose one or the other I'd probably pick mage, though I want to attempt a stealth/mage hybrid when I play. I'm not sure how well they will compliment each other though.

My main character, a Dunmer, will be a Warrior-Mage using Destruction and Blades!
My second will be a burly Nord that likes spoons and kills Dragons by punching their faces in!

What I'm trying to say is that you can be both easily because you don't NEED every magic or combat skill and the two work well together.

Arcane Warrior with Sneak... or with spell that makes u silent and addionaly a bow of course!

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 8:04 pm

Go with a warrior! Scrounge, loot or craft him some decent armour, put a waraxe in his hand, and away!

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 10:31 am

Be a mage, but only use defensive/utility magic and play a pacifist!

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:08 am

I'm here for you buddy.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:39 pm

Ahaha, I voted warrior and now it's a complete tie (16,16)

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 12:09 pm

You can't smash things when your a mage.

You'll want to go warrior definately.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:39 pm

You shall be a warrior as a mage is too intelligent to ask the question

LOL, I'd like to play that too. Command, frenzy and invisibility spells will be the name of the game!

OP, you saw that part in the in game trailer where the draugr got smashed right in the face? Now imagine if you freeze the bugger beforehand, then split its frozen mug to smithereens with a sledgehammer... That's how you'd doin' it, son. Man up and roll a lumbering Orc Battlemage.

I'm personally planning on going the stealth/assassination route with my first character. However he will most likely be a Breton, so some schools of magic will also be a focus.

If you are adamant about choosing strictly between a full on warrior or a full on mage for your first character, I'd go with the warrior. The improved combat looks like a lot of fun, especially against dragons. You can always make a mage as your second character!

Be cyborg.

Kill humans.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:31 am

Be a warrior mages are too pretentious

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 1:05 pm

If you can't decide between them then surely a stealth/archer is the only way to go?

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:44 am

Mage of course, shooting fireballs,lighting,frost,summon creatures and weapons,become invisible,etc...warrior is boring IMO.
