What class do you roleplay?

Post » Fri Mar 29, 2013 12:41 am

I know the class system has been abolished in Skyrim but that has not stopped me from roleplaying a class. Did you carry on a class that you played in previous elder scrolls games?. Do you have your own custom class to fit situations and what will you call it if you can?. What class did you find to be the most satisfying or the most fun to play with?. Did you find the content in Skyrim (weapons, amours, robes and quests) to be lacking to support your class? e.g no dedicated battle mage armour. Do you make up your own stories for him/her and use lore (groups, factions etc) to justify your playing style?.

I will go first. Although I have played a lot of classes since morrowind I always liked the idea of the monk and have played it since. My monk has been mostly a custom class with a diverse skill set to handle different situations, he wears a special hooded monk robe that he wears at most times as he explores Skyrim. The monk lives by a code and at times can be inflexible never the less he is accepting and understanding of people and situations. The Monk shuns carriages or fast travel he instead walks a path less taken, his curiosity about the world and its mysterious have taken him to many places delivering justice and compassion where ever he can. He uses the art of the bow and shadow to dispatch his enemies before cutting them down with his holy sword. Driven to impossible causes the monk has had more than one near death experience. This has led the monk to be a master of preparation, making his own enchantments, potions and poisons, Sharpening his blade and improving his bow. He receives blessings form the nine divines and uses his willpower to make his body as strong as steel. at the end of a hard day he likes to work on his temple in the south of Skyrim near a lake which he built himself. His hobby is to collect books to add to his library ever increasing his knowledge. He also likes collecting exotic plants which he tends to in his greenhouse to make potions and poisons at his tower. Currently he is tracking down materials to finish his shrines to the nine divines. The monk is a welcome sight to everywhere he goes from saving villages from dragons, rooting out skooma dealers and giving beggars a coin for the day. The monk has a rich and rewarding life travelling to many locations. The monk swears an oath to protect the people and to bring justice to those who harm them. The life of the Monk can be hard and testing at times but with gods on his side and his stoic philosophy he will achieve greatness.

Imperial elite soldier. He has mastered the arts of stealth and assassination, but has also mastered the blade, the use of a shield and the use of heavy armour. He was taught these skills when he was picked out from the Penitus Oculatus to be one of 50 others to become the emperor's own elite special force. They're used to undertake missions of stealth and combat that no other soldier in Tamriel can do. They do jobs for the elder council and the emperor such as carrying out assassinations and leading sieges. My dude is currently in Skyrim under the orders of the council, to assassinate high ranking Thalmor in Skyrim. He will then return to the Imperial City for further orders.

Ive tried -everything- pretty much. warrior, thief, assassin, battlemage, spell sword, nightblade, barbarian, the list goes on and on, but the only class I can REALLY get into is a Master Sorceress, or Sorcerer.

I've tried all kinds of builds, but pure warrior is the only one I truly enjoy. Magic is so dull.

See its the exact opposite with me, I can only get 20 hours into a warrior, then I just go "meh", and cant do it anymore.....to each their own.

My favorite class is sort of the Dark Knight esque class. I really enjoy conjuration and 2hand weapons. I've played most all the classes types and I have a back story for all of my characters.
