What will your first class be... : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

When TES 5 comes out, and you've got your copy, what class will your first character be do you think ? I'd guess mine would be a Stealth \ Magic hybrid.

Pure Mage....

Mine will be an acrobat, or maybe I will start to play as mage. I dont like mages to much, maybe its because I am not experienced with them... oh well....

I'll probably make a hand to hand combat style character, or I hear morrowind there were spears, so if they bring those back in TES5 I might make a class geared towards that.

Likely what my classes almost always seem to center around: magic users with heavy stealth influences or stealth based characters with magic influences. Either that or a pure mage. But most likely a mage with stealth infulences.

I always play Elder Scrolls games as a knight.

i probaly wait til the game specs are annouced...but i do like to play with short blade,marksman, and alchemy

My favorite characters are always pure stealth-aligned Thievery types, but I wouldn't want to overdo it on my first playthrough. I'd probably go for a hybrid, almost a magical "Agent" if you will. Quick to act and skilled with short blades, but relying more on Alteration spells and the like for winning NPCs over and disarming traps than the material thief tools. Think of Imoen from Baldur's Gate II! :celebration:

Assassin

Warrior/Crusader

I will be an Argonian assassin. I have no doubt about it. I usually play multiple things, but that is always my first.

» Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:19 pm

most defiantly a khajiit thief, with heavy illusion and alchemy focus

» Sat Jul 03, 2010 5:27 am

I'll go with my Drunken Nord who got sent to prison for dating the wrong guy's daughter. Blunt, H2H, Heavy Armor, Armorer, and Block MUST be my major skills.

Warrior

You should make a poll.

It depends entirely on the setting. Generally, my first playthrough is with the race native to that region, and a class advantageous to that race. (I.E. Oblivion: Imperial spellsword heavy armor mega-god, Morrowind: Dunmer magethief) Assuming TES V takes place in Skyrim, I will be a nord hack'n'slash http://greywolf.critter.net/ahq/professions/trollslayer.htm type character.

Depends on how the game ships. If the magicka system has been revamped, then I'll play a pure mage. I'm waiting...

Morrowind I usually played a stealth character to avoid the crappy combat and AI.
Oblivion I leaned towards melee types with the improved AI and combat.

I wanna be farmer Blair.

I dont wanna be anything special, just a guy with a sword.

I'm gonna give 'em some Maniac magic.

» Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:55 pm

I always start with my Dunmer thief/assassin. I like the fire resistance

» Sat Jul 03, 2010 7:17 am

Presumably some kind of melee/warrior character. I like being a mage, but I hate to pass up all the beautifully designed swords and armour.

» Fri Jul 02, 2010 10:27 pm

Most probably a dunmer warlock. If he is a male, he will go with staves, if female, she wil use daggers in addition to magic. IF there are staves, daggers of magic in TES V

» Sat Jul 03, 2010 6:16 am

Khajiit Assassin, just how I started Oblivion.

» Sat Jul 03, 2010 5:08 am

Either a Woodelf assassin or a Imperial knight, depending on how I feel at the moment

» Sat Jul 03, 2010 11:17 am

Argonian Battlemage.

» Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:11 pm

Stealty Dumner. :ph34r:

Hopefully there's a Morrowind style scout. I like it when there's a good vanilla class.

Off Topic:
Heh, was scouting through the smilies, this reminds me so much of the Chimer/Dumner: :flamed:

» Sat Jul 03, 2010 1:37 am

Nord Warrior.

After that, probably an a altmer mage. And then a bosmer assassin.
