you dont have to be a mage to wear a hood lol
No, but I want to roleplay as that kind of character -- a shady mysterious type, wandering from town to town in a leather robe, never showing anyone his face... Y'know.
When Skyrim was first announced, I didn't really understand how it was going to be interesting to play a mage or thief in a game that was this rugged. It seemed like it was catering specifically to the Conan type. That part of the trailer really turned me around there and made it seem not only plausible but really awesome to be a less hands-on, more shadowy character; the contrast between the character and the world, and the little details that tie them together, like the leather Mage's robe, make for a much more interesting adventure than "Conan world, Conan character! Big sword FTW!"
(But my first character's still gonna be a Viking.)
