Prolly my first character will be a Bretonic Battlemage, as always- shield/axe or spells. Maybe Ward spell/axe, swapping to frost and fire spells as needed.

May remake my Khajiiti Sorcerer (ice blue, snow-leapard frost sorc.) And something else, too. Don't know what, though.

Doesnt matter what is what, all the Skyrim races look fthing awesome! Hopefully the racial attributes dont make the race bad.

Ill probly go with a Redguard/Imperial/Nord Warrior type class when it comes out.

Yeh they look sweet. I'm just wondering if that is what the new elves look like or if it's mismatched.

Yeah I think it is a mismatched comparison for the wood elf, (the Skyrim characters in question are what previewers have created and been shown in demos in the last few months) but whatever, I just post what I find

Nah, swords are cooler.
For instance, in Oblivion a battlehammer (iron) weights more then an iron longsword, is more expensive, is 2handed and does less damage then a longsword. It was the same with axes, so I deleted my Ork (he didnt have hair, after all, so there was no reason keeping him.) and created an Imperial. Blades for the win.

So... you base coolness on stats?

Axes are the coolest melee weapons.

Nah man, hammers are. That's what I like about playing on computer, you can mod single handed hammers into the game.

Or picks. Those are neat.

Axes are sharp hammers... Axes win...

Hammers are Axes that don't need sharpening. Hammers win.

And you can fix stuff with hammers.

What are you guys smoking?? Lol.

Blades win every single time.

I'll probably make a ninja character like I have now in Oblivion, sneaky, marksman, blades, and lots of magick goodness.

...kinda like my Dark Heresy character... and my Fallout character, heh.

Swords are the epitome of lame.

But anyway, most likely character...

Marksman, Security, sneak, Illusion(or alteration), Athletics, Acrobatics, light armor.

Btw, you guys should do your research on skyrim its no longer gonna be skill based...

It's a " What you use, you get better at" system right ?

Well that's what I got from the interviews and such.

I know, but those are the thing's I use most anyway

And in the end, you will be using certain things just to make your character as it is.

Total noob question but, what console (or is it PC?) is this for?

I think it's for all of them but the Wii.

It will be just like Oblivion, you get better with what you use, rather than applying skill points like fallout.

It's not exactly like Oblivion's system, there are some differences if I remember right.

The way they are doing Skyrim is that they are employing the get better at what you use from Oblivion, but dropping the whole Major/Minor skills IIRC.

Not 100% sure how this would help you level, but on level up you can choose a perk for a skill or something like Shield Bash for Block or Faster Aim for Marksman.(These 2 perks are purely examples, I have no idea if they are in the game.

They don't really help you level. Nothing 'helps' you level, except doing similar stuff more. I think it's just, once you raise ten skill points in anything (so either 1 skill raise in 10 different skills, or 10 skill raises in 1 skill, or anything in between) you go up a level, and get a Perk that can help you survive and win more.

Lol I prefer swords too because of their looks
For example, Sword of the Crusader looks cooler then Mace of the Crusader. I just dont like blunt weapons

Anyways, Im hoping that 'the lusty argonian maid' will return. I think the writer is dead (he appeared in Morrowind), but that doesnt matter. And a new chapter please. *flies up from his chair*

See Im the opposite, I prefer blunt weapons to swords.

They made it so jumping around for an hour doesnt level you up.

The trailer looked awesome! I have elder scrolls, fallout and fallout new vegas on the xbox 360 and they are all top RPG games IMO.

They arent in your opinion awsome. They ARE.

I'm going to have to play it twice. Once with a brutal Orc and again with a sneaky argonian.

Only twice?? I plan on playing it quite a lot with many different characters haha. That and some mods will help improve it(more than likely).

Orc dual wielding axes. Will mod it so I can dual wield 2hers.

All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces......

Edit: These are screens of the faces you can use for your character, or at least some of which you can make. It didn't specify which.
