What will your first character be like? : V

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 5:12 am

I'm going with a sword & shield Imperial (maybe since the Empire is declining he tried to sneak into Skyrim from Cyrodiil?).

I think combat is fun that way, and the trailer made me realize I will have dragons breathing fire at me

It'll most likely be an 18 year old Redguard, normal body-type, no scars, specializing in combat with swords and archery.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:17 am

My character shall definitely be 6 years old.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:14 pm

Female Bosmer specializing in archery, stealth and shortswords/daggers most likely... same as in Oblivion. That might change though, depending on how the races all look in Skyrim.

Male Argonian, either a warrior/mage hybrid or full mage.

An assassin(Stealth) type character named Lucien(Male), I'll be using daggers(Either dual daggers or a dagger for stealth attacks and an offhand that's stronger), archery, and if it is possible to be a necromancer I'll also use that.

My race will depend on how they look in Skyrim and their racial skills but it will probably be a Breton like in previous games. I have many more ideas for more characters but this will be my main character.

Katana wielding thief/assassin.(mz was worth the 10$ just for that katana...)

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 4:21 pm

late 20s-30ish male dunmer nightblade specializing in illusion and destruction magic (fire in particular) dual wielding spells with a shortsword, hoping to have cloaks to wear in the game but otherwise wearing light armor or robes.
Probably going to spend alot of time in the dunmer city whatever the name of that place will be, and making boots out of argonians for invading the homeland :pinch:

hybrid ill use a bit of everything

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 6:46 pm

bosmer in his twenties - stealth and archery and alchemy specializations because I want to be a sort of ranger character.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 3:13 pm

I'm gonna try and be a conjurer mage with a little bit of destruction but rock a bowe and arrow for sneak attacks at initial combat.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 10:36 am

I dunno really, I usually play a stealthy breton with a bit of magic thrown in. Might go Nord this time though, kind of a young traveler returning to their homeland thing. I'll still probably play stealthy though it's just how I find myself playing anyway. I remember I was playing as this total warrior orc in Oblivion and I kept sneaking around in like deadric plate instead of smashing faces.

Jack-of-all-trades who`s capable of handling any enemy with any weapon/spell.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 4:26 am

Argonian male assassin bow+daggers :rock:

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 10:08 am

Redguard thief who uses daggers, archery, and trap magic.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 12:42 pm

Nord with greatsword.

I swear, I was gonna be that before the screnshots came out!

I've posted my freakin' tome of a backstory for him a couple times on these forums. I really put way too much thought into my first character.
And now I've got plans to follow him up quickly with a thaumaturgical thief and a mysterious mage. I had no interest in playing those kind of characters till I saw the trailer and understood how they would fit in with the environment... Now I'm super-excited to!

A Nord Paladin that is in his 30's. I will focus on 2-handed warhammers, heavy armor, magical shileding and healing as my main skills and have block, smithing and maybe enchant as secondary.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 2:35 pm

Nord in his 30's using axe and spells with equal strength. Kinda ligthly armored and will use magic from all the different schools except conjuration.

Oh, and he will have short-medium long hair and a beard. Blonde.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 4:25 am

Nord or Dunmer, Not sure which gender (I've been playing female characters recently in RPG's, might continue this practice in Skyrim, but males are what I normally gen for gamesas games), magic/sword user with a focus in destruction and illusion. Will probably use a one-hander due to the need to assign spells to a hand rather then having a casting button. (I'm going to miss that casting button by the way. It was so useful)

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 5:41 am

I will start with an Imperial, but I'm not sure what skills I'll be developing. I'll dabble a bit in all of them and then use whatever is most fun. I'll probably end up being some sort of spellsword.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 9:30 am

A female khajiit who prefers stealth, poisons and archery to take down enemies.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 3:23 pm

THE MANLY MAN OF MANLINESS.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 2:27 pm

Dunmer in his 250s. I'll probably be using a bow or a dagger and either an alteration spell, an illusion spell or a conjuration spell in the left hand.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 6:12 am

I woulld prolly go with a huge redguard who looks like Rick Ross and a gigantic 2 handed axe.

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 3:06 pm

Alchemy/Sneak/Bow/ Dual Wield. Wood Elf or Nord
