Help me choose a build!

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 11:55 am

First off I haven't played since December-ish and the few times I have turned it on I've lasted 5 minutes then turned it off due to the annoyance of dragons. I played a heavy stealth Imperial level 45 with all perks in stealth based skills. Now I've been spending lots of time on the forums checking out ideas so here it goes! First off I'm not starting the main quest for a long time if ever. Im not going to do any guilds until I'm level 30-40? So I'm torn between three characters. Any help would greatly help my chances of returning to Skyrim, thanks.

Hand to hand, alchemic Khajiit. High on sneak and alchemy to place frenzy and linger health poisons on my enemies I don't just sneak by. Heavy health and stamina build so when I choose to sneak swipe with my claws I can take a beating and dish it out. I know about the heavy armor perk and gloves that deal extra damage. Can I enchant damage stats to gloves?

Duel wield axe Orc. In full orcish armor and weapons. Heavy in health and stamina. Just a bruiser who kills everything in his way. Heavy drinking treasure hunter. Will try smithing with this character as well.

Female Breton Fosworn, wearing fosworn armor, investing heavily in illusion, marksman and sneak. Basically a rogue forsworn that doesn't trust anybody. Will dabble in alchemy to support her bow because she had no skill with a blade. Probably live in the "witches" house.

do them all =) i have nearly finished an assasin a bit like myour kahjit and it was great fun puting poisens and poitons on people, also if you didnt know
Spoiler
gloves of the pugilist in the ratway
give you more hand to hand damage and yu can dis enchant them and enchant them to other pairs of gloves, your forsworn sounds like a fun class aswel, but i think after sveral levels the easiness of it may get you bored, and the orc looks like fun aswel.

Yeah the Khajiit interests me but I'm think Beth with release an unarmed tree eventually so I I don't want to do a run if that happens. I think I'm leaning on the Orc.

For your female Breton I would encourage you to add Conjuration and become an Arcane Archer who uses the Bound Bow. Super/hot sixy play-style... and very deadly...

Only issue I have with conjuration is the grinding to get to level 50 so I can use bound bow and the fact we still can't cast an animal companion. Would love to play a ranger with a permanent bound wolf, bear, rabbit or whatever.

Just took a check at the wiki and I think I might try that Arcane Archer though I might use illusion a bit more because the Quiet Casting interests me.
