As the title suggests my Main Character that I've played before in TES Timeline was a Nord. His name was Natas.
(Fan-Fiction Soon To Come!)

Anyway, I just find playing my Dark Elf is more challenging, makes me think on my feet more. Rather then going in Head first like a raging Dinosaur.. lolz.

And Skyrim allowed me to do the ONE thing I COULD NOT DO in Oblivion. Which was be a true Spellsword/Paladin!

With Dual Wielding and the Favorites Menu it changes my entire playstyle. Hell, I'm even Sneaking alot more as a result. I feel Skyrim is allowing me to create the true Dark Elf image I had painted in my mind over all these years...

Don't get me wrong a Shield/Sword combo is extreme! In fact too much! (I abuse Quick Reflexes like crack! ^.^)

But Destruction is just oh so much fun!!

That is all!

I like how I actually have to specialize now. In oblivion I was good at everything, now I have a real reason to have 3 or 4 characters.
