I've played through the game once most the way on 1 char a year ago.

I started another one and planned to play though again as a different class/race.

I was thinking of making another 1 or 2 to mess around with but dunno if i want to go down the alt road.

So whats your experience with this issue/phenomenon?

i only focus on one. When i get bored or when a certain mod needs updating but require a new fresh start, i make a new one. Most of my characters are finished at lv 30 though i had one that reached 81 and another reaching way beyond thanks to skyrimuncapper

I'm focusing on 3 Right Now. My Orc Berserker, My Bosmer Archer, My Dunmer Mage


I've drifted from the Mage for quite some time.

I only ever play one at a time, but boy howdy I've made a few dozen since release.

i usually play about 3 to 4 characters solidly, i always have ideas for new characters that i get excited for but i often rarely play for more than 10 to 14 hours.

I am kind of wondering if this is common, mage is just so clunky with this interface

Actively...one.
I have two others that are kind of on "standby." I didn't like the way they looked, and started new games. I wish there was a face-changer NPC in the original game, so I wouldn't have wasted weeks by doing this. Just like in Oblivion: you make your character in the dimly-lit sewers, then step out into blinding daylight--and realize you're too pale, or don't look right. Surely it could have been playtested and improved. Just saying, or else I'd have a few that might be more active characters.
