Well I today I picked up Skyrim and put it in the ol' PS3 and I forgot how much fun it was. Basically I was wondering if anyone still plays Skyrim. I'm assuming everyone is done with their character for now until Dawnguard comes out? Personally I still have a lot of fun using my completely broken assassin character and I always like starting new characters with new builds.

So does anyone still play Skyrim? If so, what kinds of characters are you playing nowadays? Also if you are waiting for Dawnguard then what are you looking forward to most? I'm personally looking forward to killing some vampires and I'm assuming based on the tone of the expansion there will be some sneak based loot which is perfect for the broken assassin character I mentioned up top.

Yeah. I started a new character just yesterday, actually. It's always good to try new character builds. This one is going to be a vampire who's highly skilled with 2h weapons.

I actually just started a khajit mage today.

... was magic buffed at some point? It seems so much easier than when I last tried to play a full-on mage.

Yeah, actually, started getting back into it after a long hiatus.

Decided to just start again with a couple of characters.

Uzulg gro-Grunthor, the Orc warrior werewolf.

Amaya, the Dunmer thief vampire.

Seems to be a trend or something, maybe having to do with the upcoming expansion...?

I too stopped playing after my fourth or fifth character for a while but recently started playing it again. I seem to be able to only play one more character though. That or playing a mage is boring to me.

Personally I hope Dawnguard gives us new skills to level up. I have two main characters, one of which is level 75 (assassin) and the other is level 77 (mage) and I'd like to level them up a little more to be able to fill in a few perks I've been meaning to get for them. As for my new character that I recently made, I'm positive I'll be fighting vampires with that one because that's like "holy" themed with right hand having Dawnbreaker and my left hand having restoration magic.

I've also wanted to try something new but I have no idea what kind of build I should go with :/

Yup, me too, new character, thought I would try an Imperial in heavy armor, block, one handed and archery! Everyone is going back to Skyrim because we are all excited about Dawnguard!

I cannot wait for the Crossbows! My new Imperial will probably join the Dawnguard and my High Elf mage will join the vampires!
Yeah I may make my assassin join the vampires unless the dawnguard have very good armor that I want, but my armor set is pretty much complete unless they have some good boots I can use. Currently my armor set is:

Head: Rahgot
Torso: Ebony Mail
Gloves: Ancient Shrouded Gloves
Boots: Daedric Boots (40% better sneak, 40% better one-handed)
Ring: Gold Diamond Ring (40% better sneak, 40% better one-handed)
Necklace: Gold Diamond Necklace (40% better sneak, 40% better one-handed)

So really all I might want to replace is the Daedric Boots and possibly Rahgot but I love me my 120% to sneak and one-handed and my +70 stamina. However my weapons could use replacing. I've got two sets of weapons, one being daggers which is:

Daedric Dagger w/ Fire and Frost damage
Mehrune's Razor

and my swords are:

Dawnbreaker
Daedric Sword w/ Fire and Frost damage

Both daggers could be replaced with more powerful ones and my Daedric Sword could also use an upgrade. Although I will always keep Dawnbreaker. I absolutely love that sword and against vampires it's a no brainer!

Just started a Khajit thief after playing a Nord fighter. I guess it will be a long time till I uninstall this game. Still too much to see and too much to do.

Well I still have an unfinished second playthrough to do. I just usually can't be bothered because I can't play it without my headphones, well I can, but I won't be able to hear any of the characters speak. Anyway I usually can't be bothered to plug in my headphones just to play it.

I've been on/off playing skyrim since last christmas. A large part of that's that I love the game, and consider it to be one of the best sequels ever, as it simply takes what didn't work well before and adds it's own unique touches, and as said touches go, giving everything a nordic flavour is a pretty damn awesome touch.

And the other large part of it is, I have a terrible habit of starting new characters and switching between them, and I also have a terrible habit of completely forgetting the main quest for ages.

Quick question, does Dawnguard get stronger if you get it at a higher level, or is it always the same?
Do you mean Dawnbreaker? If you mean Dawnbreaker then no, it will always have the same power enchant no matter what level you acquire it or what your current level is.

Eh, I recently started again in an effort to stave off buying Dragon's Dogma. Sneaky bosmer this time. First character was a Nord two-hander, but I stopped playing him shortly after joining the Stormcloaks.
