What class will you play as in Skyrim? : V

» Sun Sep 20, 2009 8:47 pm

Normally I always play as the Mage, but it looks so much more "engaging" to just go warrior.

What class will you guys play as?

Custom class I call Warmage. Specialisation: Magic. Attributes: Intelligence, Willpower. Skills: Alteration, Illusion, Conjuration, Destruction, Mysticism, Restoration, Heavy Armour.

Closest to the Spellsword class. Makes the squishy wizard a little less squishy. Secondary priority on skills of Blade and Block.

Ranger/stealth type

Knight. It's what I do.

Assassin. Oblivion suggested Acrobat at chargen, so thats what I went with for OB. Hated it though, going back to the tried and true.

Several custom classes; I never use the premade ones. I usually make a pure mage type, a battlemage, barbarian, knight and assassin.

I don't know which I'll start out with, but I guarantee I'll play all of them.

A Ranger. Expert in Marksmanship, Blade and Stealth.

Hard to say without knowing this game's strengths and weaknesses yet. Nightblade? Assassin? Agent? Spellsword? My playstyle usually relies on stealth.

Normally I differ between two main archetypes: Knight and Assassin. The skill set will depend on what skills are available.

Spellsword.

Then Assassin.

If speechcraft and personality is actually useful in ESV, I think I'll start with an imperial knight (blade, blunt, heavy armour, block, athletics, speechcraft, mercantile). If not, I'll go with a nord paladin (warrior with restoration and mysticism).

Assassin. I'm hoping they rework unarmed in this game, so I can try out an unarmed class.

I am generally a fighter type when I start out...but then switch and try different guilds with future games.

I have my Battlesister of Azura class. Which is a Mage/Stealth combo.
My Shieldmaiden class which is just a Female Warrior with a cooler name.
I'll also make an improved Barbarian class(Call it a Berserker or something)

Anti-Paladin.... Heavy Armor, Blade, Block, Destruction, Conjuration, Alchemy, maybe Restoration for absorb spells... I'm hoping for more skill selection though

» Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:32 am

Ranger or Conjurer

» Mon Sep 21, 2009 3:42 am

My usual warrior! with blade, block heavy armor

» Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:29 am

For some reason i loved the roleplay so im going to play as my old Merchant with speechcraft and mercantile.
But this merchant will not get robbed easily cause he will use his big-ass axe.

There's no "trying something new" with me - I intend on giving every class/archetype a spin at some point.

I'll probably start with a Nightblade, though. Or a Nightblade equivilant.

» Sun Sep 20, 2009 8:04 pm

Probably my own custom warrior class, seems fitting.

» Mon Sep 21, 2009 1:00 am

For my first playtrough Emperial Warrior for sure. Especially if they add polearms, and shield + 1h spear would be awesome.
Of course this all depends on the game. Gonna wait and see how combat will be in Skyrim

» Mon Sep 21, 2009 8:08 am

maybe a Ranger type to strat with.
I am currious about what guilds or factions will be available to join.
I would like to create a Cleric sort of class, if there are religious orders to join. perhaps a traditional shaman / animist type.
