I have spent a while playing skyrim, and so far i haven't been able to make the perfect character. I've had around 5 different characters, but i just haven't been able to balance out my playstyle with my race, and i really havent been able to make the badass that i really want. So, I would love some help with making a character (race, skills to focus on, ways to level up important skills without cheating, etc.). My sort of class theme is the "architect", meaning I just want to control battles and direct combat from a distance. This is just really a thread for me to bounce ideas off of other people, and get some feedback to make this the perfect game, and I hope other people will also get ideas from it.

There's really no "perfect" character.

Mines perfect.

This ^^

Agree.

I actually never try to make a `perfect` character. I just put togther what I want and see how he does in the world. I always kind of know how I want him to be and what his skills are before I start. So I get a little saddened when games like Skyrim actually give me LESS skills to work with. I have never given up a character once I started just because he isn`t perfect. This does mean I spend a long time getting him looking right and making sure he is the kind of character I want.

The "perfect character" is the one that you have the most fun with and is good at staying alive.

Just play the game and have fun. Stressing out about perfection will only take the fun out of it in the long run.

True, but i just need to make an amazing character. I kinda feel like i ruined the game partially because i already know what gonna happen from playing on other characters, and even though those were good i always found some reason to make a new character

this is actually pretty helpful, i feel like ive been holding myself back by trying to create the perfect character instead of just having fun.
