Skyrim: What did you roll ?

[TriggerOnly]

So I picked a wood elf. I am going for a dual sword/axe/bow guy who wears light armour, and maybe a smith. Or I might for down the magic path.I think next time I am going a Mage, or a Ork fighter.

So Escapist what did you roll for your first time around ?

And what would you do differently ?

 

[Adultism]

Dark Elf.

Dual daggers

Light armor

 

[Wayneguard]

Dark Elf.

Dual daggers

Light armor

I was seriously considering this. I saw a picture of a dark elf dual wielding daedric-looking daggers OMIGOD it was so FUCKING cool.

But in the end I'm going to go with a dark elf battle mage. Heavy armor, axe in one hand and fireball in the other.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

I'm an Imperial called Thor who specializes in Two Handed weapons and Destruction magic. So hammers and lightning.
It's going well so far!

 

[MoNKeyYy]

I won't have the game for another six hours but...

I have really no idea.

I'm gonna have to evauate things pretty long and hard before I decide, and I'll probably just let myself go along and see what ends up happening. I have no idea what the game specific traits are so I'll just see what's fun. You really can't go in without those details expecting to know what's best. For race though...maybe Breton, Bosmer or Imperial? I'll probably try to lean towards a more stealth based character but I just don't know.

 

[Omega500]

a big dumb orc with a big hammer
But has a silver tongue who runs around in sack cloth pants and is oddly very good at alchemy

 

[Rawne1980]

I'm installing it right this minute.

I'm going Nord I think though. No creation kit yet so I can't make my own race.

I want to dual wield axes because .. well .. it's axes, and there are 2 of them.

Then I want to mush people in the face with those axes.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

More than likely a Redguard named Lando or a Nord named Sebastian.

I'm probably going to specialize in sword and shields, destruction magic, lock picking, and armorer. Not sure what armor, more than likely heavy.

I'll make up my mind in about 5 hours.

 

[6SteW6]

My head says a Nordic Battlemage would make the most sense but my heart wants a two handed battle axe for messing shit up! I'll probably alternate between the two or cut out magic and just use a bow for long range.

 

[dslatch]

Argonian Theif with a dagger bow combo named either Raptor Jesus or Fox.

I'll know what i'll do 100% tomorrow afternoon

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

I'm thinking a Breton excelling in Destruction Magic, and switches to dual wield when things get tough. Also wears light armor and is a sneaky bastard who breaks into your house. Robe chest, leather everything else except no helm (wait, can't we just have it not showing this time?) Name? Sereci Poceles.

 

[SquirePB]

So hard to decide!!! I won't have it for a couple of weeks yet though so I guess I'll think about it and follow this thread for ideas.

 

[SlaveNumber23]

Argonian pure mage, with a poisoned dagger for backup

 

[Stormz]

I have so much trouble deciding what I want to be in all Elder scrolls games. When I get it I'll probably start off with light armor and daggers but once I see a nice piece of heavy armor I'll give in and wear it. So I usually play a lot of different ways with one character.

 

[Kopikatsu]

I almost always do pure melee builds, but orcs are particularly ugly...

Well, whatever I'm doing, it won't be an Elf. Why not? Because I'm going to commit genocide on the Elves. I won't let a single Elf live. And I couldn't very well commit suicide, now could I?

 

[SanguineScale]

Argonian Thief all the way. Can't wait to start pickpocket as MANY people as possible.

 

[Hallow'sEve]

Be an Argonian necromancer thief

Probably will actually know what I'll be when I get the game and spend two hours trying to decide my chars name

But I WILL be a werewolf, mayhaps a khaijit werewolf...

 

[Hemlet]

Argonian with light armor, single handed blade/dual wield blade (depending on the situation), and some dabbling in magic to make entering and leaving just a little easier.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

Either an Altmer or a Dumner depending on how I feel when I start up the game. I saw the Dunmer's new ability which basically turns them into The Human Torch. And the Altmer can just shit magicka whenever they're in a bind. I think that's the more useful, and their skills are more my style... so maybe I'll start Altmer.
