If you could go back and remake your character

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 7:07 pm

What would you do differently if you could go back to 11-11-11 and remake your character that's now a super high level.

1) I would collect all the things I know are used for crafting now such as hides and ores.
2) I wouldn't invest so many points in magic schools and more in stealth and combat.
3) I wouldn't let my misc. quests pile up, my journal is SOOO packed right now.
4) No fast traveling.
5) I wouldn't have made my character so buff

On your last point, you can type showracemenu in the console. On PC. and change your buffness.

I actually restarted a whole buttload of tmes. I haven't had to restart so much until Skyrim. Even Oblivion I never restarted this bad. And Oblivion it was more cosmetic, then it ever was because I didn't like the build. Skyrim it took me multiple times until I found the perfect build for my main characters. Now my main characters are great and I don't need to fix anything.

Restarted yesterday switching from nord to bretone (seems to be the best race for me due to magic resistance and awesome npc mages) but might switch again today to another build (i hate melee...simply too boring).

I mean my character is lvl 49......but I haven't really done anything Hahaha. Just quests in Whiterun, Markarth, and the Mages College. Crazy that I'm 49 just after those.....there's so much to do in this game lol.

1) I would collect all the things I know are used for crafting now such as hides and ores.

I did that the first time around because I've played enough RPGs in my life to know this. On my second character, I'm not doing it again. I don't want to walk around constantly burdened.

2) I wouldn't invest so many points in magic schools and more in stealth and combat.

I'm doing the opposite, but my first character is a stealthy archer, so my second is a mage.

3) I wouldn't let my misc. quests pile up, my journal is SOOO packed right now.

Gotta learn to say "no". :) Although it doesn't bother me as much.

4) No fast traveling.

Did that on my first character. It does eventually become boring when you get more and more "go to opposite end of the world, fetch X" quests and you already know you're pretty much only going to walk on a road for half an hour past all those cleared dungeons, without seeing anything new.


Another thing I'm doing is leaving out the main quest entirely early on. The dragons are nice and all but I'd rather develop my character a little before they appear.
