What race will you play as? : V - Skyrim

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 9:23 am

Probably an Argonian barbarian named Big-Huge-Arm.

Obviously a Nord, just cause were in Skyrim

Breton Mage or Spellsword. Illegitimate Great Grandson of my main CoC. He doesn’t know of his lineage, and may never find out. It would be a surprise to know that his Grandfather was the CoC and is now a daedric prince.

Probably a redguard, but since there are dragons, maybe a dark elf, or whichever race has the natural resistance to fire.

A Nord.

A Beard, no armor, big weapons, and lots of mead.
That will be his destiny.

First playthrough will probably be as a Female Nord, sort of a hunter class, using a Bow as primary weapon and either a 2H sword or dual wielding axes as secondary weapon, still deciding.

After that I'll go again with a Dunmer, depending on what they look like in game... He'll be an Assassin-type character.

And I should really dive into a pure mage-type character for once... I never did that, always used magic as secondary skills/utilities. So either an Altmer or Breton. ^_^

Imperial with dual Akaviri Katanas.

:D

Argonian thief for the first run.

I changed my mind about the races I listed in the previous threads. I'm playing an orc. Gotta show those nords what true brutality is. :toughninja:

Okay, thats not how I stereotype orcs and nords, but hey. It would be badass seeing an orc charging a dragon. Plus I haven't ever had a real orc character before. Skyrim sounds like the best place to start.

Warrior, either Argonian, Nord or Orc.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 8:00 pm

Pure mage Darl Elf, the illegitimate son of a Telvanni wizard. Trying to make a home for his nomadic people, and maybe even reclaim the land lost to those reptiles born of filth. And if he succeeds, one thing is sure... Hlaalu and Dres blood shall be purged from the Velothi people...

Most likely, I'll play as a male Nord since that is what I am.

My character will be a dunmer assasin/spellsword who was supposed to kill the Neravarine. He failed, and was left for dead near a tribe of ashlanders. Then that big bad explosion of Vvanderfell meant he moved to Solshteim along with some ashlanders. That's about him, so far.

I will most likely be a Nord Warrior specialized in blunt weaponry (hammer, maces). A rather big and muscular guy but with a good-willed personality.
Very excited to see how Argonians will look like as I found them very interesting to play as for a second playthrough.

He must be freaking old.

Well... Elves live long!

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 9:31 pm

I will play as Nord becuase I am Nordic. He will likely dual wield an axe and a mace or dual axes. I don't think I'll go for a shield-sword or sheild-axe etc combo I'll probably go for an all out attack style, a berserker, with dual wield weapons. Not so much defense, mostly savage, brutal and constant attack.

For me it depends. In morrowind i prefered playing a dunmer, but oblivions take on dark elves made me play as a nord as primary. If they change the design of the dunmer ill definitely go back to them. God they were goofy in oblivion, no offense to the people that liked em in that game =/.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:44 pm

stealth, wood elf or warrior dark elf

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:02 pm

Dark Elf Assassin or Altmer Sorcerer....will decide when I know more about how skills/races are worked out.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:05 pm

Argonian Assassin

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:43 pm

Argonian female.
Occupation: tomb raider/paid assassin.
Psychological profile: vainglorious, greedy, incredulous (traumatising childhood in slavery).
Fight style: very fast attacks with daggers and bare hands.
Hobby: collecting rare herbs, reading fiction and studying inter-racial relationships.

First playthrough I'll roll a Nord.
An axe in one hand and the destruction spell of my choice in the other hand.

Second playthrough either an Altmer/Breton if the magic system really gets me, or one of the sneaky races. Don't know yet.

Since we keep asking eachother the same questions over and over again about the game while nobody acctually knows anything about it i thought i'd ask something new and simple to spice things up again.

What race will you start Skyrim with and why? (could also add what you'll specialise in combat-wise)

Personally i'll be playing as a nord, not because Skyrim is the land of the nords but because i've always played as norse characters before. They're tall and tough like orks, but unlike orks they can look civilised.

I can't really say what i'll be using in combat yet though. Since i'll be a savage nord i'll probably be using sword/axe + shield combo, but that all greatly depends on what they did to the combat system. All i want is for it to resemble Dark Messiah's combat

.

I could have sworn theres already a thread just like this..oh yeah..i made it...lol btw, DARK MESSIAH FTW!
