I want to be like a dark Battlemage kind of, or I guess a Battlenecromancer in this case.
Two-Handed
One-Handed
Heavy Armor
Restoration
Destruction
Conjuration

And I want to get in on all the professions on the side:
Smithing
Enchanting
Alchemy

Alchemy was my big money maker in Oblivion, I hope it still is in Skyrim.
Sorry I couldn't limit myself to 4 skills, but we arn't limited to that anyway so why not go for more

Marksman, Sneak, Pickpocket, One Hand.
As you can tell I'm going to be a thief.

hmm

One-Hand

Speech-craft

Alchemy or Smithing

Sneak

For my first Imperial stealth-character I'll go:

One-handed

Sneak

Marksman

Speechcraft

How do i even make a poll (new member)?

I was thinking I would focus on specific aspects (perks) for more than 4 skills. I certainly have no use for some perks in some of the skill sets (such as perhaps weapon-blocking ones in the block skill or axe/mace-related ones in the one-handed skill), so I'll be able to focus on an obtain perks for more than 4 skills.

-- FOUR CHARACTERS --

Male Nord Pure Warrior
Smithing
One-Handed
Heavy Armor
Block

Male Breaton Pure Mage
Enchanting
Illusion
Destruction
Conjuration

Male Dunmer Battlemage
Smithing
Enchanting
Light Armor
Destruction

Male Khajiit Thief/Assassin
Sneak
Lockpicking
Archery
Pickpocket...I guess. Hopefully they implemented this well and are some interesting perks for it.

For my Bosmer Scout - Archery, Light Armour, One-Handed, Sneak
For my Orc Artificier - Armourer, Enchant, Heavy Armour, Two-Handed

1. One-handed
2. Block
3. Heavy Armor
4. Repair
4. Restoration
4. Destruction
4. Archery

:)

Well since we're not limited to 4, it'll be hard for me to choose 4. But here's what - at this moment, anyways - I plan on playing as my main when Skyrim comes out:

Name: Xlayde
Race: Breton
Skills:
*1-handed (dual wield)
*Heavy Armor
*Conjuration
*Enchanting
-------
*Alteration
*Illusion
*Destruction

Name: Seekce, I use this name for first characters all the time except for DA2 (wouldn't make sense for two highly successfully Seekces by chance) and online.
Race: Khajiit

Likely to be higher leveled (and four choices)
One-Handed with Sword
Light Armor
Sneak
Alteration

There are other skills I'll use often as well.

Please dont make a poll....

1 handers
alteration
alchemy
illusion

probably.

One Handed
Archery

Bonus:Illusion
Bonus:Speech

Destruction
Conjuration
Restoration
One Handed

One Handed
Destruction
Lockpicking
Speech

One Handed
Sneak
Destruction
Archery

One Handed
Light Armor
Sneak
Lockpick

One Handed

Two Handed

LIGHT armor

Block

smashing

bashing

mashing

crashing

This is hard. I want to make a magician/stealth hybrid, a male Khajiit struggling to learn magic that eventually becomes very good at it. I think it's going to be hard to choose how to spread out my perks. Choosing just four will be very difficult for me, but I'll try:

Sneak
Destruction
Illusion
Alchemy

It will probably turn out differently than that. I'll try to weed out the skills I will try not to use much for this character.

Frequent Focus:
Alteration
Destruction
Illusion
Restoration
Sneak
Lockpicking
Speechcraft (maybe)

Lesser focus:
Conjuration
Pickpocketing (maybe, but not on innocent people)

Crafting in order of priority:
Alchemy
Enchanting
Smithing (Will likely skip perks if I don't use the smithed stuff.)

It would help to add a recap of all the skills in the first post:

Heavy armour
Smithing
One handed
Archery

Illusion
Destruction
Restoration
One Handed

Ill also focus on Conjuration if the summoned AI is a little better, it probably isnt.
