What Will You Play As?

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:52 pm

By Azura! That was quite entertaining, darn I'm wishing the forum's allowed me to put in more answers for the poll, but unfortunatly I reached a limit. I'm almost tempted to make four polls, 1 for each Arch-Type and one for Combination. But of course that might bring the wrath of some of the mods for spamming so I'll refrain.

Also I love the creativity the rest of you have come up with in creating your characters. They have been quite interesting reads and now I'm wanting to make some character's based off of some of your idea's.


Here's an idea of what my character would be:

-exception to dual wielding of course

Feet trample across the floor in a pitter patter, a Wood Elf is running along a road, with several Guards chasing behimd him.
The Bosmer ducks into an alley, he knows the Soldiers are upon him.
He makes a leap for the ledge of a rooftop and waits a few minutes for the Guards to pass him by.

He jumps down from the house and reachs deep into his pockets, pulling out an object, veiled by
sackcloth. He removes the veil to look upon the sparkling beauty of a clear-cut Diamond.
Shining perfectly, as he beholds it in his eye.

Putting it back into the cloth and deep into the pockets of his cloak again, he walks onto
the road as if he had always been there.
A Smirk is on his face, and a twinkle in his eye as he strolls away casually.

Roleplay Line Ends Here

Well you can guess my role if you had bothered to read that little story.
I take the Path of the Shadows and the Thief.


I'd have to say that i'm 60% Stealth and 40% Combat.
But i rarely utilize Magic.
I just don't find it appealing.
I LOVE stealing from powerful Mage's though. Its thrilling AND rewarding

My character will be a combination of a marksman, dual wilder, stealth and restoration. that will lurk in the shadows do deal deadly arrows,
and use her knowledge of melee combat to bladestorm her enemies.
She is a daughter of a priest of mara therefor she have a knowledge in restoration, but dislike any other form of magic.
As deadly as she can be she will not use her powers against the helpless or the innocent.

I tend to go for a warrior thief. The problem has always been that its far too easy to be a jack of all trades, master of everything. I hope they fix that in skyrim, where specialisation is rewarded.

Hmm interesting, now I'm confused. Hmm, going to do a few quick google searches and watch for the wisdom of other posters in this thread. If I'm wrong about the not being able to duel wield shields I'll add that to my poll.

Yeah, I've heard dual wield shields too.

And I'm going to be a combat-warhammer, but because I can have a couple more skills I think I'll get dual-maces too :D

(poll's broken, by the way)

I'll be playing about 75% magic and 25% combat, so a Battlemage.

I cant vote on the poll as I need to enter something in every category and that would defeat the purpose of the poll.

I've consistently played Arcane Warriors, with a strong leaning towards the arcane. Stealth always plays a part as well, though a minor one.

Interestingly, I've always had a theme of someone with dragon heritage throughout all my Elder Scrolls games (Daggerfall onwards), hence my user name.

My spells that I've made have been named with that dragon theme in mind. eg. "Might of the dragon" for strength increases, Dragon skin (or dragon scale) for damage reduction spells, and so on.
Making Alteration my most used school of magic.

I was sooooo stoked when they said you would be "Dragon born". :tops:

But I don't get to make my dragon spells, so that's a bit of a downer. :swear: :cry: :down:

I guess I'll just have to put up with dragon shouts :rock: ;)

Oh, and Altermer with a katana. :toughninja:

I love the path of shadows. Light armored, fast (where'd you hide the speed attribute ffs :brokencomputer:), master of deadly poisons, weilding bow and daggers and maybe a little bit of restoration, just in case. Quite fit for a silent assassin.

My character will be a Nord Barbarian. He will be cliché and he will be awesome.

Basically No magic, No stealth, No heavy armour.
He will mostly use Two Handed weapons. Not decided if he will wear light armour or no armour at all. If I choose for light armour I will probably stick with the fur types.

My first character will be an berserker esque argonian. Light armour (move faster), dual wield (blades or shields). Restoration (resist), alteration (shield). Alchemy (poison).
This would probably make him a self boosting Barbarian / Nightblade, I think. I'd probably try to incorporate some stealth when I can so as to take advantage of situations.

Unfortunatly I do believe it has been confirmed by Todd that we can't duel wield shields. :(
I know I was quite dissapointed about that as well. Someone feel free to post a link to that source if you know it, I just remember reading it somewhere. Probably here on the forums.


Todd Howard has confirmed no such thing, I being the expert of all things Todd know this. Can you site your source for this, if you still disagree?
