Elder Scrolls Playing Style?

[Manji187]

Alchemy, always Alchemy.

It's the only thing that matters.

EDIT: ...at least in Morrowind.

 

[Rickyvantof]

Stealth + Ranged always has my preference.

 

[Gentleman_Reptile]

Depends what mods I feel like using at the time......

Right now I have an Emma Watson/Hermione face mod. My story arc is that shes been sucked into a magic book from the Hogwarts library and has now turned into an evil, asskicking assassin who spews lightning from her fingertips to incinerate all the native wildlife.

Yeah I'm a complete geek, arrest me.

I love rogue characters to the bitter end but for Elder Scrolls I made the most of combining skills and made a sort of Battlecaster. Full heavy armour with a juicy 2-hander. I always had a skeleton pet following me around while I casted fire spells.

Oh god I loved that game!!!

First playthrough will likely be the same as my first playthroughs in Morrowind and Oblivion. Orc with axes and heavy armor, ofcourse. Also always choose speechcraft, because I like to have a nice conversation with people before I bury my axe in their frontal lobe. I may be a blood-hungry orc, but I also like to think I'm a bit higher class. Imagine an orc wearing a monocle and top hat with his heavy armor, and you should get the idea.

 

[General Torg]

Summoning, buffing and smacking things with a giant hammer.

i start with straight destruction to get me started, then i focus more on hand to hand with supplementary spells, also using my super high speed to move when i see them attacking, i also keep a high level sword on me if things get hairy

I generally make my char a Battle mage with some sneaking ability. Largely because sneak attack criticals are the shit. As for magic I try to get as many schools in use as possible, though alteration is less helpful when you are already in heavy armor. Plus I enchant the crap out of everything I own. Armourer is also important. I do something similar in Fallout, just replace heavy armor with power armor and magic with energy weapons.

In Morrowind I used less magic so I kept a bow around to deal with those damned cliff racers. I still had some magic ability, I just didn't find the way magic was used to be as helpful when in combat.

The only skills I always have no matter what my character type is tend to be athletics and blade.

In Skyrim, though, I think I'm going with an axe. Dragon Age has taught me the value of armor piercing.

 

[Bad Jim]

-"Hmmm, Ordinators. Could sell that armour for a pretty penny. Pity I'm only level 3."
-thinks a bit
-makes an enchanted ring that casts levitate on target.
-strikes Ordinator. Resists arrest. Casts levitation on Ordinator and on self.
-Flies off side of tower. Stupid Ordinator follows.
-Watches with glee as levitation wears off and Ordinator plummets about 50 feet
-"It's still alive??? WTF???"

destruction magic and enchanted sword or 100% chameleon so I don't even need to fight

I love 100% chameleon, the dude i did that on i also used the glitch to get 3 million gold so i never sold a single thing but instead put it in my house, i also made a spell that would kill anyone with one hit b/c he was all mage. But yah full chameleon is awesome and i never had an easier time beating a game.

 

[SplicedUp068]

Sword, shield and heavy armor, unoriginal but I do get to eat damage for breakfast.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I love stealth. The only Elder Scrolls game I've played was Oblivion, which had some of the most hilariously bad detection AI I've ever seen. Two hooded guards are having a conversation. In the middle of a sentence, I assassinate one with my fire-enchanted dagger who screams as he falls to the ground, dead. His buddy actually watches the smoldering corpse as it slides along the floor and comes to a stop, and then faces forward again. I had to pause the game because I was laughing so hard.

 

[Tomster595]

I focus on Security,Sneak, Blade, conjuration, and acrobatics (rolling while stealthed ftw!)

EDIT: oh, and Alchemy. It's how I make all my money. Sneak into a castle, steal all their food, make smoothies(potions), PROFIT.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Tank everything... No exceptions

 

[Headsprouter]

1. Marksman
2. conjuration
3. light armour
4. security
5. atheletics

I like being speedy and getting into places easily! And if i'm in trouble a disposable buddy is always good to have around, specifically a clannfear. I wub dose widdle guys =3

 

[SilverHammerMan]

A kleptomaniac with a penchant for heavy armor and blades, usually a claymore but whatever's handy will do. I also use destruction magic a fair bit but only over long range as I hate bows. My current character is also a vampire as the stats boost and Hunter's Eye ability is useful for sneaking and it's not too hard to keep it on level one vampirism. I tend to berserker through all opposition since I find talking to be a bore.
So it sum it up I use Blades, Destruction Magic and Stealth, as a vampire. And I called my custom class Communist just because.

 

[Mr. Doe]

Unarmed, Heavy armor, restoration destruction and agility is what I did in Oblivion, it worked surprisingly well.

 

[blankedboy]

I didn't enjoy Oblivion, and I'll explain why.
People always ranting about how you can do whatever you want in it, and I was intrigued by that. I wanted to be a sneaky assassin/thief, and that started off ok. I joined the thieves guild, and all was good. Then I found out that thieves are shit in combat. And because I wasn't allowed to keep the role-playing aspect by covering my sneaky assassin in armour and giving him a broadsword, it ruined the immersion.
Also, guards somehow always know if you've committed a crime, even if their's no witnesses and it's in the middle of a forest at night. The sneaky bastards.

My response, Morrowind.

As for Skyrim, there aren't any spears as of yet so I can't make my uber-awesome Khajiit that I usually do. So I'll have to think of something original for once oO
