I'm either resurrecting my Nord sniper from my last Oblivion playthrough (Helga Bloodbane, the world's tallest thief/assassin FTW)
or
Making a Khajiit or Argonian; I really like the look of the new skins for them, even if the Argonians are a bit creepy.
My Nord character really worked for me; they were an expert in both swords and archery and used stealth to get in close undetected before starting a bloodbath, but I also used Restoration regularly too.
As for an Argonian/Khajiit, I've considered using a stealthy magic-user, with a dagger in one hand and invisibility stuff in the other.
I'll be resurrecting a Nord character too. Valdyr, the wolf warrior (admittedly the wolf warrior thing is coming into its own on Skyrim) I imagine him to be used to being in castles and dungeons and stuff and having to use whatever sword or axe or whatever that happens to be lying around. So that'll reflect in his fighting, like he may frequently change his sword for another he finds, and randomly pick stuff up temporarily into his offhand (barring a two handed weapon). I'll try to make him a Jack of All trades, but melee and simple defensive/offensive spells prioritizing. If the archery in skyrim is more to my liking, it'll certainly be better for the character. He was called Valdyr in Oblivion, which is Norse for wolf. So if they really are putting werewolves in again, that'll go great with his character. Especially since he's got a fairly rugged appearance in my mind.
Errmm... Valdyr means "preadator" or it can be translated as "dead animal" not wolf.
As an example valhalla means Val=killed/dead/slain, Halla=hall, hall of the dead in english.
Valtýr means "slain god".
Also wolf in old norse is ulv, olf or ulf.
Add an r in the end and it becomes specific add an s after and its plural.
Example: ulf=wolf, ulfr= the wolf or that wolf, ulfs=wolves, ulfrs= those wolves.
Hildolfr means battlewolf.
Bágiulfs means enemy of wolves.
(af)Karaulf means mad/crazy wolf.
I'm not saying this to be rude or anything i just wanna clarify some things.
