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.RuralGamer said:I'm either resurrecting my Nord sniper from my last Oblivion playthrough (Helga Bloodbane, the world's tallest thief/assassin FTW)

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.
Errmm... Valdyr means "preadator" or it can be translated as "dead animal" not wolf.binnsyboy said:I'll be resurrecting a Nord character too.

Well, you probably know more about it than me. I just ran it through a translator. It came up with three options for the word wolf, "freki", "ulfr" and "valdyr". So I just figured it was one of those things they had multiple words for and picked Valdyr because it sounded the best.synthesis said:Snip
