Only ideas so far are these:

1. Good guy, warrior, never attacks someone unless attacked first. Think of him as a paladin type, or a knight.
Nord most likely, no magic at all, maybe Companion Guild? Heavy armor is a must, probably two handed? Maybe a sword and shield?

2. Sinister and evil mage. No morals. All he wants is power, fame, and riches. Death is nothing but first nature to him.
Pure mage, no weapons except staves. Robes of course, but a heavy armor pure mage might be sweet.

3. The thief. Quiet, ties to avoid conflict as he is weak, yet quick and accurate. Main weapon would be bow.

Any other interesting build ideas?

Make a assassin and your done.

I'm a mage-assassin (destruction, bow and dagger) and only having problems in caves/dungeons so far. I'm not sure that you level up that fast. I've played for like 7 hours and I'm still level 4 lol

My character is going to be an orc who uses a bow and dual wield swords. gonna do whatever the eff i want. Datk brotherhood thieves guild main quest. who cares if it doesnt fit lore

Heavy Armor Mage!!! They're so badass. That's my first character: a Breton Battlemage that switches between dual spells and dual swords.

Alright figured out my 1st character.

Nord
Paladin/Knight
One-Handed & Block
Heavy armor
No magic at all
Tries to avoid killing
Only attacks if attacked first
Devoted to the gods

This will be my shortest playthrough most likely. I play much longer as a power hungry, evil pc haha.
so after i see how the game is, the main quest, etc...then ill have a better feel on how i want to go about my evil pc which I will probably never delete and just keep using.

I do like the idea of a power hungry battlemage though

Hey,

Phew...just did my first 9 hours as an melee centric Imperial! I think all your ideas are gooduns....really it's the playing that is the fun part!

Great thing about Elder Scrolls is you pretty well do what you want.....I'm suitably impressed by it so far....worthy of the wait!

I'm going mage scholar. My thirst for knowledge sends me on adventures all over the place. I'm kinda neutral.
