What class would you like to be on your first play though? me ill prolly be stealth


note: this is a fun topic no flamers or trolls are welcome ^_^

Fix'd there are now two more options that seemed to be popular

by the way Spell Sword = battle mage in case of confusion

Shadow mage is a stealth mage

I think I want to try something new, more along the lines of a more combat focused archer, or an assassin with a long sword.

I'd be a heroic archer with dual wield swords.

I'd first be hunting until I gain enough money to buy arrows and armor and then move to helping the locals with their predicaments to the point where I feel my character is realistically ready to take on the main quest. I usually don't play the MQ with all my characters however for my first one I always do to avoid spoilers etc. Depends on the quality of the story and whether it fits my RPing.

Archery and stealth, it worked well in Oblivion and sounds like it will work better in Skyrim.
My first character will probably try out as much as possible but keep archery as primary weapon. From Oblivion and Morrowind my first character spend a lot of time in cities exploring and stealing in them at the beginning.

Wizard. With some sort of propension towards stealthness - after all it's healthy for a mage to stay away from the blades. :hehe:

warrior/archer

thief,archer character.

Stealthy Dunmer. He's supposed to be the younger brother of my current Nerevarine, he doesn't know, and he nearly killed him. He'd be a Dark Brotherhood member, and stuffs.

I'll definitely be using a Nord or Orc warrior on my first playthrough.

stealth, dual daggars for that awsomeness feel.
wood elf.

Well since there is not going to be a class system I am just going to do a combination of everything, and build a balanced character

None, we don't have classes

I'm going to be epic stealth :toughninja: assassin.

Nord Warrior Berserker!!

I'm going to make a character for every of the three main classes (melee, magic, stealth). I just don't know which one first
I just hope katanas will return... I don't feel right being a swordsman without a katana in my hands... wait a second... dual wield katana!! And then mix with some magic and stealth... dual wielding Nightblade with katanas! Thanks for the inspiration

Nordic Ranger.
Dual Daggers.
Amazing Marksmanship/Archery.
Dual Spell Badassery.
Top it off with some cool looking clothing, tattoos, scars.
And it will be perfect.

would you by any chance be an elf?

ill probably go with a bit of a mix, my first character always seams to end up somewhat batlemagey.. but i'd like to get a rough feel for each class before doing a dedicated class in second run

As the old school knight that I am. Sword and shield all the way.

Sneaky mage thief Argonian.

Edit
I'll test out the dual wield spell ability, if I'm impressed I'll go "Torch Mage".

A stealthy assassin with bow and daggers.

I always play as a battlemage, perfect mix of combat and magic. This game will be interesting though, since you can duel wield now, and have to assign spells to my hand. I'll probably end up switching between duels spell casting and sword and spell. Although if pole arms are in the game I might just be a warrior my first play through.

Imperial Warrior, probably with a tiny bit of stealth for when i really need it.

archer! ranged weapons are safer to kill dragons

I usually play a thief first, may be an argonian thief with archer profile, maybe daggers if they can be coated with poison by period -like world of warcraft- not by hits. If daggers are too weak (Todd said they're still undecided about the stealth multiplier) I'll go with dual weilding swords.

As there are no longer official class categories, and that is probably good, I have determined that my first character will be role-played as a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lva.

She will mostly use magic, but as alchemy is now part of the stealth grouping, I would say Mage/Stealth. I think a shamaness should know alchemy to prepare herbs and potions.

At this time, I envision her wearing various cloths, furs, and leathers.

She will mostly use a dagger (herbs/skinning/defense), a bow, and a small one-handed axe. She will use other tools as necessary to perform various crafting activities and enchanting. These will include those items, such as a mortar and pestal, and other items necessary for alchemy.

Emphasis, will be on magic and alchemy, as she will be neither a shieldmaiden, nor a spellsword, nor a battlemage type. However, she will do what is necessary to survive.

I will go warrior first up then a stealth based character after that.
