I know there have been loads of threads like this, but i just wanna know what stimulates you to play them?

I really like a warrior/wizard. Blasting people with magic is such a great feeling and also having the abilty to cut them to pieces is also great.

Mine so far is a sneaky archer. I'm currently playing a conjurer, but am annoyed at my summons stealing my kills.

My favourite is lean.

I play a full conjurer. I'm lazy so I like to summon my 2 pets, have my companion, and a dog and let them do all my fighting while I wander around and loot the bodies. I never swing a weapon or cast an offensive spell and I love it.

I enjoy playing as a warrior with no crafting. I also limit myself to only magic weapons and jewelry. Since you hardly ever find enemies in enchanted gear or improved gear I feel this makes for a more realistic playing experience. Its also a fun challenge.

A warning though... on master this is virtually impossible unless you use a lot of stealth.

Ah I see what you did there! Haha.

Here's my contribution. My favorite build is a a hybrid of magic and melee. Preferably Heavy Armor, One Handed, Block, Restoration, and Destruction. And a small use of spells outside those schools but not enough to consider a heavly used skill for me.

I C WAT U DID THAR

Ahem, anywaysm the Thief/Rogue. All the stealth skills minus speech (because its f*ckin worthless) and archery, with dual wielding sword/dagger.

Dark Elf, Warrior with the ability to use some magic. I try an model my character after Drizz Do Urden from R.A. Salvatores famous books, but they dont have any cool looking scimatars to match his . Mainly work on

One Handed
Destruction
Block
LockPicking/Speech

In my signature, D&D style Cleric-- lovin it.

I've been tinkering with the Dovahkiin-build from the "Official Skyrim Trailer" for the past four days now. This build is a real good challenge to anyone since you're basically nerfing yourself with the lower tiered gear.

Stealth/magic is my fav.

magic/warror is the fav.

Having fun on Master with a master thief type build. No armor skills, mostly not killing people (some quests don't leave me the choice but I did finish the thief's guild quests not killing stuff if possible). Everything done through stealth and pickpocketing. Falmers get to feel the wrath of my dual elven dagger (Fine) 15x backstab power though cause they are mean


Mostly, doing the thief's guild quests in a "thieves don't need to kill" way isn't that easy until you get your skill to 90+ which was fun. Some bow+arrow distracting power helped

Oh and Pickpocket success rate caps at 90% but if you don't push it too much, you can avoid fighting the people that catch yo. But you'll get a bounty in the process which is fun to live with Guards are all "Hey, I know you" "/me moves away quickly" and when I'm bored I talk to them like "Yeah sorry, I cannot pay that 25 bounty, I only got 40k gold so send me in prison cause I didn't try to escape from this one yet"

PS : when you want to flee from a prison, the lockpicking perks are actually VERY useful.

High Elf Warrior. He is just so tall, his presence is enough to scare everyone away.

My main character is a Dunmer Mage by the name of Tengus. Being surroundedby Deathlords in a tomb, slinging Fireballs whilst standing in a circle of Bane of the Undead, back-to-backing with my Dremora, popping Wards and healing my follower are all just so fun! Also, we're the only Archetype that is scarily lethal when in the nvde. Feast your eyes on my sixy Ashlander *FIREBALL*.
I play with Skyrims Balanced Magick Mod, on a higher setting than I would play without mods. Personally, I feel my Mage is much more like a mage with this mod, and I enjoy playing it much more. I stopped playing before I got this mod for almost 2 months, cause the feel was off.
I also played an Orsimer berserker for a while, only to level 12 or so. Heavy-armour-wearing, dual 1-hander-weilding, berkserking, throat-ripping Greenskin! Actually he was more brown than green. He enjoyed sun-tanning with the Hunters in the waters of Eastmarch, swapping stories and citing his poetry. lol....

Ranger.

None of that OP sneak bullsnot..

2H paladin. No godmo..i mean crafting.

My current character is probably the most fun so far, a vampire hybrid - high stealth skill dual wielder, with high archery as well, wears cloth only, using alteration armor spells and restoration for healing. I really liked playing as an arcane warrior in Dragon Age: Origins (a mage that relies on melee for damage, but uses spells to buff their combat skills.) This is as close as I could come, but there are a number of changes I want to make once the CK comes out to make it a bit more interesting (like adding some actual incentives to wearing cloth.)

I enjoy playing as a female Dual-weapon Battlemage; utilizing the Destruction and Restoration spells. My companion(s) -tanks- wield a sword and shield, but are capable of casting Conjuration spells as well as utilizing staffs.
