What class of character? : V

» Sun May 29, 2011 12:32 am

Just interested in general terms. A lot of posts I see seem very geared towards stealthy archer types. And a lot of screenshots I've seen people post from Oblivion are very much of the "emo" assassin vampire/devil/angel with "issues". I'm really curious to see if there is an even spread across each of the major class types, or whether it's 90% assassin stuff and 5% on each of the others.

I voted rogue, but that is in a more broad sense. What I actually use with him (if it is a custom class) is subject to the skills which they implement.

Interesting that no-one is a Mage. IIRC they were all the rage in Morrowind.

*Edit - typical that someone votes Mage as I'm typing the post

Assassin, sorry. Had too much fun with stealth and backstabbing. Although for the record, I'm more of a Morag Tong, business like, blends in the crowd character. Hated as much the cheesiness of the DB as I found their missions entertaining.

I generally enjoy slicing things into bits with my sword, so warrior for me.

Though I have to admit, rogues are awesome too.

Yeah I dont begrudge anyone their choice really

They're all good.
For most of Morrowind, I created outright Thieves. No real skill at combat, just excellent and sneaking and stealing.

In Oblivion, probably an even mix between all three of the types I think. I always change my mind as to which I prefer.

Rogue for sure! Daggers, lockpicks, bows, crossbows, poisons, clothing and light armor is the thing for me. Once I become sufficiently powerful (high level, good equipment) I'll start to dabble into magic!

A magick user as always, I just hope they improve on the magic system and stop making swords so much better than everything else.

I've already got my first character kinda' mapped out. I think with the game being Skyrim and all it'd be best to have a Warrior; and a Nord one at that.

I plan on being a sort of Battlemage character using mostly magic but if need be know my way around a weapon or two.

i usually exclusively do mages, but the dang music is so epic that i might go warrior

» Sun May 29, 2011 1:09 am

I'll end up being a magic assassin type char. :ninja:

Magic assasin warrior.

I'm not even joking

That's what I loved about Oblivion. It doesn't confide you to one skillset or one playstyle just because of the class you picked like some other games annoyingly do.

You can pretty much shape a character to do anything and everything you want!

I know that was great, although my previous magic assassin warrior was a little overpowerered so I might choose something else :celebration:

It really depends on what the story calls for.

I might be a Nord Warrior with some Destruction and Restoration magic if I'm a "Hero of the People" type.

Or I might be a sneaky Imperial character with some melee and light armour skills to help out in a straight up fight if I get to be an agent of the (new) Empire or some other rising political faction.

I doubt I'll be a pure mage in my first playthrough though.

Edit: One thing is sure, my first character is going to be human.

Double edit: I voted Warrior because both of my character ideas involve being skilled at melee combat.

I'm undecided yet. Usually in TES games I play a couple of pure mages before trying anything else, but given how it's set in Skyrim playing a raging Nordic berserker seems good too. Voted for mage to assist the underdogs in the poll.

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:25 pm

I'll be going sneaky sneaky. Light armor, stealth, poisons... yeah.

» Sun May 29, 2011 3:50 am

I'll be using a custom class, but he will be quite close to a mage.

monk

no weapons

no armour

just a whole lotta jackie chan whoop ass

edit:
I mean Dgak-Kyy Tshann of the Imperial monestry

I'll be going for the mage. I always like to go against the flow of the majority of the game's characters (which will inevitably be warriors in Skyrim) so I'll be casting spells from far away to get my kills. I had some trouble in Cyrodiil due to the fact that there are many of every class so I ended up playing a merchant...

» Sat May 28, 2011 1:56 pm

Warrior, it's the class I play initially in all my fantasy type games. Something about heavy armor and a shield and sword that I find too awesome to pass up.

» Sat May 28, 2011 2:48 pm

I'll probably be a Battlemage Warrior Hybrid or just a straight up Warrior that is good with Restoration.

» Sun May 29, 2011 12:33 am

Mage, but not too sure. I have a lot of time to think of a good RP character though.

» Sun May 29, 2011 3:51 am

Some sort of rogue. There's plenty of time to flesh out the details
