So I have played through skyrim 2 times, once as an honorable nord warrior and as an argonian assassin. now i want to start over but make a dark/evil paladin (probably not the right class name for it but it gets my point across lol). here is what have so far.

Dark elf
(don't have a name yet)

Skills used:

Two handed
Heavy armor
Conjuration
Enchanting/smiting/both

the last one is the major one i am trying to decide on.

I actually want to RP this character, as in staying in character for quests and no fast travel except by carriage and such, so would it fit more to have him be a vampire or a werewolf. I haven't thought of the back story yet but he is going to be very power hungry and will stop at nothing to obtain the near demigod power he seeks. Also, he won't hesitate to take revenge on people who he thinks wronged him.

so any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

collect the daedric artifacts, which includes an amazing heavy armor set and some really kick-butt blades

doesn't get more evil paladin-y than that

so to answer the real question, werewolf... you'll need Hircine's artifact.

some "spoilers"... look up the daedric quests online. some are level locked and can't be done before a certain level... some have requirements and items or ingredients you need... and the one that's started with Jarl Balgruuf's kids can't be started from Solitude, so I'd focus on only doing the artifacts and DONT DO THE CIVIL WAR... also, that quest starts with a rumor from the barkeep in Whiterun, so don't kill her. my boyfriend did without knowing she was important and had to start a whole new character later to get all of the artifacts.

cool thanks for the help. also about the skills, would it be better to use just one of those or both?
