Hello there! I'm fairly new to the forums here, so please forgive me if this topic is a re-hash of another. I am intently curious to know what other ES players are planning on picking / creating for their first (of many I'm sure) character play through. For example, what Race?; what Class?; Do you intend to play as a noble character or and evil one?

Let's work it like this to avoid extremely long replies, I'll lead you follow (and feel free to add things that I have not):

A brief description also helps

Race: I am leaning towards the good old Dark Elf as that was the first race I've ever played with in the ES series and I've grown quite fond of them.
Class: Warrior/Mage (Battlemage if you will), now that we can equip a sword in one hand and a spell in another, I feel this has the potential to be the most intriguing fighting style.
Play-style: I have always been the rush in and kill everything, ask questions later type of player. But with the new AI engine, I feel I may look for alternative routes this time.
Noble/Evil: Noble for the first play through, I always get a better sense of gratification from being the "good" guy.
Light/Heavy Armor: This will rely on how the two types react. I like the agility of light armor, but the protection of heavy. TBD I guess.
Ranged/Melee/Mixture: Mixture (see Class explanation)

That's all I can think of for the moment. Feel free to fire away.

Im thinking im gona be a Imperial or Nord and use duel weild weapons and be all stealth like. Gona wear some kick ass looking light armour and mostly be a close range killer (CQC)


cant wait for this game...

Race: As for my first character, he shall be a Bosmer. Then, my following builds will mostly likely be Khajiit...
Class\Play-style: Feralmir Lathas, my Bosmer, will be a Ranger-esque woodsman of sorts... Then my Khajiit will will be my warriors and mages most likely...
Noble/Evil: Feralmir will definitely be of a noble conscience, but, later on, with some of my other characters, I'll start to tap into the darker deeds...
Light/Heavy Armor: Feralmir will most definitely use light armor, and my Khajiit warriors will probably use both.
Ranged/Melee/Mixture: Feralmir will primarily be a Marksman. Though, he will have practice with short blades if need be.

I'm thinking a Breton heavy armor stealth character who'll dual wield axes.
