Okay so obviously news of Skyrim have been about for some time now, and as a big Elder Scrolls fan, I am clearly excited beyond all belief for it, and have been following all the new updates on it since I believe late January. I myself have personally clocked in probbably 200 hours of Oblivion at least, and played Morrowind religously when it came out. Hell, even today I still play Oblivion from time to time.
And, in similar fashion to my Oblivion question of character choice, my question is (to anyone and everyone out there who is a huge ES fan like me), what type of character (Race and Class) are you going to make for your very first play through of Skyrim?

Personally, I have always been a straight up Mage type character, with the more sneaky and assassin character as my second choice. For Skyrim, with the over-hauled combat system including the ability to duel wield any single handed weapon (spells included), I'm still definitively picking a Mage for my first play through. In some of the more recent gameplay, more spells have been shown off and theres been a HUGE amount of variety added to them, along with the new all-mighty Dragon Shouts, I have a very good feeling that I will be faaaaar away from doubtful for my new Mage.
As for what Race? Thats always been a hard one for me, my very first Oblivion charater was an Argonian, and I may follow suit, but the new over-hauled customization (and lets not forget about amazing face-paint and beards), will leave me to pick one of the human options, probbably Breton for the magika bonuses, but eh, whatever human race I feel like playing at the time.

I can't wait for that aspect. Most of Oblivion was spent in the mountains overlooking the beautiful city that was sadly plagued by dead eyed ugly people and only when I found the Dark Brotherhood did I learn that at least there was a way to thin them down effectively so I didn't spend all my time playing the game like "The Grinch"
