Hi everyone I bought this game on Friday afternoon and spent yesterday experimenting and learning game mechanics. Ive made 3 characters to play + 1 character at Helgen at the creation screen incase I wanna make anymore and skip the horse and cart journey to the execution place.

Im LOVE LOVE LOVING playing a High Elf mage. His name is Solrunne . When he is higher and more developed Ill post a screen shot. Im currently in the ruins of Saarthal and ive come to what looks like a puzzle.

Anyway THANKYOU BETHESDA YOU ROCK

I sang this song too... my mage was Dunmer so you'll probably last a few levels longer... then the 'charging' up of weak spells while Lydia tears through everything before you hit it will get to you... fire bolt should have came before flames

That's the next character type I will try

Cheers

I feel ya, OP. I love my Breton mage. Level 55 now, and loving it. Never had a companion, never will. Never needed one, I was always powerful enough to get by. And companions would just get in the way of my ice storms and die.

I play on normal difficulty. I'm sure if I played on master I'd want to kill myself. But I play games to enjoy them, and I enjoy playing a high-level mage on adept. Just challenging enough to keep things interesting, but with quick thinking I can still overcome any enemy with only magic.

I'm thinking I might drop my companion too... I still don't have a house though so Lydia is my House (figurative or literal, you decide)

I've always played a sorceror the elder scrolls is one of the few series to do magic users justice imo

I wish there was an Expert version of Sparks. I need more opportunities to yell UNLIMITED POWER!!!1! while zapping bandits.

Make one NOW and you won't look back...

I have all four of my characters going at once...I have 2 saves for each of them and Im just very very careful when I cull saves. I mouse over each save to see the pic and name before I delete
