This is somewhat related to the poll/topic: What will be your 1st and 2nd playthrough?

What skills do you want to focus on on?
I would find it challenging to choose a limited number of skills, since I always tend to like the JoAT combat/stealth kind of char. I have also used destruction/restoration in earlier games but only because it was very useful and not because I particurlarly liked it.
So I will try to stay away from magic-skills altogether except maybe enchanting. Since it`s a crafting skill it makes it interesting for me.

As mentioned elsewhere in the forum, it will probably be difficult to max the perks in more than 5 skills. But we dont know the details yet. It may well be that there are fewer perks in some skills and more in others.

I really want to do some serious role-playing, but at the same time I would like to advance in the MQ and fight dragons when Im tired of exploring.

I find these skills interesting:

Enchanting
One-handed
Block
Light armor
Smithing --- max perks
Archery --- max perks
Sneak --- max perks
Lock-picking
Pickpocket
Speech
Alchemy --- max perks

Of these I probably can get rid of Enchanting and Pickpocket. Maybe also Lock-picking, but that will diminish the Stealth-part of my char.

The combat-skills One-handed/Block/Light armor are also interesting, and I probably want to max the perks of one of these. Speech is also a fascinating skill

Then we have:

Smithing
Archery
Sneak
Alchemy

One-handed/Block/Light Armor
Speech

So focus mainly on maybe 6 -8 skills. 2 crafting-skills are alot, but I have really looked forward to crafting. Do I need to focus on both Archery and One-handed or maybe sacrifice Block or Light armor? Difficult questions. This char will be a Combat/Stealth kinda guy with more combat-skills than stealth.

Sneak
Alchemy
Speech
Smithing
Light armor
Archery/One-handed(dagger)

This will probably be my choices.

Which skills do you prefer?
How many skills?
Which skills have the perks you want to max?


Edit: Forgot to add the "Combat/Stealth combination". It\s now one of the choices
Edit: "Other Combination" added

From the looks of things thus far, I'll probably specialize in:

Two Handed
Block
Restoration
Smithing
Lockpicking
Speechcraft
Heavy Armor

Mainly for my first playthrough I'll specialize in:

Heavy Armor
Block
One-Handed
Smithing
Speech

Something I've put a lot of thought into. On the one hand, I've always kept away from magic due to the fact I found it lackluster. This time around, I'm not so sure, as the new system has piqued my interest. Most likely, I'll be going for a warrior build, with one and two handed weapons being stressed. I'll also probably dabble in restoration magic, as I have found it to be quite a life saver after a tough fight in a dungeon.

Ill be focusing on sneak, one handed, block, destruction, restoration...

Illusion
Conjuration
Destruction
Alteration
Restoration

Won't be focusing on anything else, but will of course use other skills, like sneak and lockpicking.
