You main weapon type : V - Skyrim

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 3:06 am

nord - long sword and sheild
kahjiit - short sword and axe
argonian - bow and back up dagger

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 2:32 am

First thing I am going to do is decide if I like having two weapons at a time. If I do then I will do two axes. If I don't then I will use a sword and a shield. The magic is very very interesting though so I might do that. Then again, bows are very powerful now and stealthy characters will be awesome as hell. But then I might want to make an Argonian or Khajiit that uses spears... Skyrim will surely be the best game yet!

Bow / Magic.

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 12:07 am

well my first character is going to be a nord so i have to use a shield/axe setup with minimum magic and maximum mead reinforced carnage. after that though i will use polearms for melee and mostly bow and arrow.

thankyou for informing me about the polearms... now we just need to convince them to bring back crossbows and projectiles (A.K.A throwing knives, shriukens,)

and the unarmored skill of course

I want a spartan warrior with a spear.

Or an uber 1337 sorceror.

First playthrough will be dual swords as this is the first time we'll be able to do so without mods (and even then it was never true dual wielding) :celebration: :toughninja:

dual-daggers & bow or( throwing knifes)- if they have them in game.

» Fri Oct 15, 2010 11:18 pm

left out "One longsword, and one shortsword", or "One sword and one mace"

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 12:32 am

Why are shortswords missing from this list? You should have either included them or left longsword as sword. We know the difference between claymores, daggers, and other swords.

@Liu Bei: OP completely left out shortswords. A mixed melee and other option would be helpful. Multiple choice would also be good.

duel-daggers

:facepalm:

I will be using a short/ long sword with a shield, because shields are actually useful now.

Shields have always been useful. Blocking was impossible without one in Morrowind, and there was nothing else for that slot in Oblivion. I'd say that if anything, they have lost utility. I presume Bethesda is making up for it somehow.

Dual wield longswords.

Swords are my favorite type of weapons, always have been. Dual Wield is my most favorite, and in my opinion, the coolest looking fighting style in any medieval-type game, always will be.

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 5:07 am

A bow and a hotkey for my shortsword with fire balls.

» Fri Oct 15, 2010 9:15 pm

I'm usually a longsword, bow, dagger, and magic type person. So I'm typically a magician, dual swords sounds pretty awesome. But I'll still probably go with my usual longsword, bow, dagger, and magic assassin like tactics.

» Fri Oct 15, 2010 10:06 pm

Either dual swords or A sword and a shield

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 5:01 am

Maces, might hotkey both dual weapons and a shield.
Not 100% sure if I will Dual maces tho...

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 7:02 am

Normally, I play using polearm, archery or magic, in rare times, a two-handed heavy smashing bashing hammer. I don't like using sword or duals.

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 1:40 am

Bow for my Thief/Assassin character.

As for my fighter the biggest heaviest looking two handed sword i can find.

» Fri Oct 15, 2010 6:34 pm

SO HARD!!!!!!

i will either go samurai, hopolite or gunslinger with a crossbow and shortswords

shortsword for secondary weapon, unless i play samurai- then i will have something ranged

» Fri Oct 15, 2010 11:48 pm

Staff?

» Sat Oct 16, 2010 6:25 am

I will use a sword, axe or mace (or spear if they add one handed spears) and a shield.

» Fri Oct 15, 2010 7:10 pm

I'll go for dual swords or a claymore.
