Whats your first race/class combo in Skyrim going to be?

[The Code]

Khajiit Thief or Harlot would be my choice. Thief would be your standard run-of-the-mill sneaky stealy type character while the Harlot option would specialize in the non-combat skills to milk NPCs for all the gold and items they're worth.

Just as a side note: my Morrowind installation, according to the 'Add and Remove Programs' menu in XP, is around 20 gigs in size. Mods are fun.

 

[Kimarous]

Spoiler: Breton presets

Breton male, first preset (uppermost left) with tweaked nose and brown hair, name probably "Eylian", and jack-of-all-trades archetype. If star signs influence anything, probably either The Lady or The Thief.

(I swear, that preset looks so much like me, it's uncanny)

 

[Odinsson]

Nord, axe and shield, using a bow when necessary. Magic is for cowards and weaklings, I do my talking with steel

 

[The Pinray]

A Dark Elf. I'll figure out class as I play. I hate the RPG archetypes. I'll probably be less of a combatant and more of an Alchemist, though. I've very interested in Alchemy in these games. I'll let my potions do the talking.

 

[ultrachicken]

Khajiit thief/assassin.

I want to make use of the increased number of stealth mechanics, the much improved archery, and assassinations. And Khajiit are awesome.

orc or nord with the two biggest freakin hammers I can find. I'm talking "I can't see who I'm bludgeoning cause my hammers are in the way" big. and super heavy anti-dragon tank armor so I'm occasionally mistaken for a refrigerator.

 

[Paragon Fury]

Nothing.

Going install game, then sit and wait patiently until the Skyrim version of the Corean Race Mod and possibly the Chocolate Elf race mod, then play my ninja assassin.

Or I might be convinced to play earlier if Bethesda has learned how not make all their female characters look like they got hit by a truck.

Spent 400 hours on the 360 version, then played the PC version with one mod and couldn't look at the vanilla characters without being overwhelmed by their suck.

Like I said in another thread, just like this one(wink, wink);
Gonna make my first char the same as my standard char was in Oblivion. A Redguard who fights with a sword and a shield. After seeing the gameplay footage I'm very intrested in trying out a mage for the first time ever in the ES games, however.

 

[zxcvbnmas]

Simple: Nord + Wairror

Yea i dont have anny imagination but i hate spellcaster

 

[A Weary Exile]

I may try a straight warrior this time around, I always play sneaky assassins in RPGs and I want to do something different.

 

[Bishop99999999]

Given the whole setting, and the shouting mechanics, I think it's damn near impossible to not be a Nord.

Everything I've seen so far basically screams "The Elder Scrolls V: Vikings!"

 

[Laser Priest]

I dunno the race yet.

But I do plan on using as much Necromantic magic as I possibly can.

 

[Azaradel]

I always play a sneaky Dunmer archer, so a sneaky Dunmer archer it is.
And he's always named Enigma, 'cause, yeah, that's fucking imaginative, right?

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I was initially thinking maybe a Nord character split 60/40 heavy combat (plate armour, battleaxes) / summoning magic, but thinking about it I'll probably go with a Dunmer character split 60/40 destruction magic / light melee (chainmail, sword). Just to represent Morrowind and really stick it to those primitive Nords when a Dunmer saves all of their frozen asses. Plus innate fire resistance could be kinda helpful when facing down a giant fire-breathing lizard.

 

[Ruwrak]

Probably end up with a Khajit.
And yes the familliar travelled road of sneaky stabby stealy things.

Nothing is more fun then to plunder a home that someone just left.
Or an Argonian caster in thick plate armor. I always liked their under water breathing things.
That and I want an army of mini lizzards in heavy armor murdering everyone.



Oh that just gave me an idea. WHy not go for a ringleader of bandits. We can now have companions so why not. Okay so a gang of 2 bandits. Hey I gotta start somewhere right?
Once we beat the main goal the story goes we establish -the- ring of bandits. Though I wonder how many people I can let tag along.

and here comes the fun part. They are not -just- firebreathers
There's also ice and probably other elements. Of that I am certain to put down coin on.

Oh, I think we can trust Bethesda to be quite traditionalist when it comes down to things like that:

Besides, that was really my secondary reason for picking a Dunmer. Even if the slopes of each and every mountain are swarming with ice dragons it'll still be worth it to humiliate the Nords by having a Dunmer rescue their kingdom.
