Hey there fellow Skyrim-players that are undoubtedly more experienced than I am.
I'm having an issue even starting this game. It's not a technical thing, it's an "I'm an indecisive and paranoid weirdo" thing. I'm wanting to start a Dark Elf character, because they're awesome, and I looked in the Official Strategy Guide which said that the Dark Elf's ideal play-style is a hybrid of the Mage and the Thief styles.
This sounds awesome to me, because I love magic and I love a bit of the sneaky-stabby gameplay. My only concern is that going with that I'd be spreading my character a bit thin across too many bases.
Cause from how I figure it I'd need points/perks in Destruction, Illusion, Sneak, One-Handed, Lockpicking and Light Armour, and that's not even counting the potential for a bit of building up in Archery, Enchanting and possibly even Smithing.
So I turn to a group of people who I'm certain are experts compared to me to search for assistance or guidance on creating this character in a way so he wouldn't be a complete failure.
And yeah, I did sign up here for the strict purpose of making this thread. I have nowhere else to turn since all my other Skyrim-playing friends are just playing straight brute-force warriors and are sinking all their points into one or two areas. Not really the brain trust, on any given issue. Not to insult people who play warriors, I'm just insulting my friends.
