So, what are you guys packing to Skyrim?

Character: Aaros Indoran (Dunmer)

Weapons

Long Sword
2 Short Swords
Dagger
Bow

Armor/Clothing

Shirt
Leather vest type thing
Shabby pants
One Glove
One pauldron
Perhaps an awesome coat (I'm guessing its fairly chilly).

Dunmer/Nord (Or whatever I feel is most appropriate)
2 Shortswords (Main, 99% of time)
1 Shortsword 1 war axe
Shield shortsword
Bow

Light armor, protective but something you can move in. Will specialize in dual swords but be good with an axe/shortsword and shield/sword combo. Likes to hunt with bow, hopefully theres better game then just deer. Prefers speed and acrobatics to power. Im hoping to fight alot more mer and men rather then beasts and monsters.

One staff
One longsword

Medium sort of armor, IE Leather

Bosmer
shortsword/ dagger combo
Bow or crossbow

leather armor

Redguard or Breton, battlemage character, longsword and destruction spell. Also use bow whenever I feel like it. Basically a human Dumner character. Heavy armor.

My loadout will consist of whatever weapons and magic that most effcienctly kill people or any other creature.

Character: Hides-His-Fear (Argonian)

Weapons
- 2 Long Swords (so I can try dual wielding them)
- Shield
- Bow

Armor/Clothing
- Heavy armor
- Very warm clothing, probably with fur :sick: to keep my character's scales unfrozen

It depends on what I play. I am always playing 4-6 characters at any one time.

argonian , dont know name yet

weapons:
-daggers(for assasination)
-bow( for one hit kills)
and probaly 2 swords, dont know if short or not, it depends on what i think is the best for my assassin

when im level 50
-2 longswords
-magic
-and my EGO

the armour that can give me any defence but still let me run fast enough(compared to a heavy armour user)
and on level 50+ DAEDRIC FULL ARMOURRRRRR!!!

Race/Specializations
-Nord
-Melee

Weapons
-Longsword & Shield
-Dagger(s)
-Bow!
-MY MANPAWS

Armor
-Light to medium (if medium is applicable - basically, leather/fur and chain, and such)

And I may have the odd spell use or two. Basically, my class idea is strength and speed, with the necessary levels of defense. It's foolproof - genius, even. Heh. Ahem. I must say, I'm very much looking forward to that moment of intense joy when I put an arrow in someone's heart and/or skull, which Oblivion lacked. One game I feel did this VERY well was Thief: Deadly Shadows. I couldn't keep my hands off the bow and arrow choice.

It must be said I'm an old fashioned kind of guy. Sword and board, all the way. Dragon Age, Oblivion, Morrowind, WoW - I will be carrying the shield. It just feels so satisfying, their weapon bouncing off your shield, followed by your weapon (preferably something pointy) impaling or crushing them. Or both!

Why daggers, you say? Because all good soldiers carry side-arms! I figure this, along with some magicky business, is a good backup should I be disarmed or if my weapons are becoming overly damaged, and I want to save them for a harder fight. My logic is infallible. I sound rather narcissistic right now.

My manpaws? Precisely for their name. They are paws. Manpaws. They are tools of destruction, given to you by your cro-magnon ancestors - USE THEM. Special bonus if you play a kahjit!

"loudout" Sigh... and its not even the OP's fault, that word was actually used in one of the interviews :confused: god.


however best of hopes for Skyrim.....best of hopes :pinch:



Estaada Dunmer

Longsword and a spell ward

No armor

Character: Ja'Rasha (Khajiit)

Weapons: Fists

Armour: Leather/none.

Name: Selenia Bladesong
Gender: Female
Race: Nord
Play style: Pure Warrior
Weapons: Dual Daggers & a Bow
Armor: Leather

Character: Lithary Alumeamorimor (male Dunmer, but will try to mod in my race latter and play with it)
Weapon: H2H & Magic (mostly Alteration and Illusion)
Armor: Unarmored
Play style: Jack-of-all-trades (will also use stealth)

I hear ya, it's a completely appropriate term when debating which weapons I'm going to put in my newly captured M6 corvette in X3 Terran Conflict (which btw is an awesome space trading/combat sim and huge time sink if you're into that sort of thing, if it's not your cup of tea don't worry about it even if it comes as a surprise that I like other game genres besides TES!), but hearing it in a TES context I actually get a slight physical reaction in the stomach region and I don't mean that in a good way....

But back on topic:
Longsword or shortsword
Dagger
(hopefully I can dual wield those combinations, dagger in the off-hand)

Destruction (because sometimes I might want to dual wield weapon and spell) and Illusion magic, alchemy to make my own healing and buff potions.

Probably some sort of light armour - in OB I really felt the absence of an unarmoured skill (especially since you couldn't wear a robe on top of armour for the sake of appearances) and I guess it's not coming back in Skyrim, but really for RP purposes I'd rather wear ordinary clothes or perhaps a robe. I really like playing an ordinary looking person who just turns out to be really well trained and deadly. Bring back unarmoured!!!! I really like roleplaying a stealth/magic/monk style character, and it doesn't feel right in armour.

And I sincerely hope that I will take a KEYCHAIN everywhere I go, so that I don't have to scroll through a billion keys every time I look in the misc section of my inventory!!!

Name: Lan
Gender: Male
Race: Nord
Weapons: Dual wield swords
Armor: Heavy
Crafting: Smithing
Playstyle: Berserker warrior

Freidhiem
Nord
Dual axes (pref 1 melee 1 throwing but w/e)
Heavy/Medium armor
Face Smashing and a little stealth to get the initial jump on my prey.

Khajiiti Assassin named "J'Zad"

(i literally flip a coin when i decide between ranged and melee in TES)

Dual Daggers or Bow
50-80 arrows if a bow.

Light armor, preferably leather if it isn't cumbersome.

A hood (adding to the bad-ass factor, as in "I think Assassin's Creed is a pretty cool guy. eh goes around killing Templars and doesnt afraid of anything.")

Some medicine.

And monnies. to bribe ppls.

Breton. Dunno my name yet. It's usually a random coolish sounding name I make up on the spot.

Shortsword dagger combo for combat. Dagger for up close assassinations and bow for distant ones.

The toughest armour which looks sort of like leather, maybe with a cloaky thing and/or hood if available.

Will use some spells as well. Which ones depends on the new magic system.

I'll just write out my sets in Oblivion as I'll look for similar stuff in Skyrim.

SPELLSWORD SET:
Fine Steel Longsword
Green Robe Hood

Leather Greaves

ORCISH LEGEND SET:
