When I first played Skyrim more than a year ago, I actually was of a similar opinion. I still do feel that the race and class that best fits the main questline is indeed the Nord Hero. However, who am I to condemn anyone else's choices for how they would like to experience the game? As I began...
Cool journal so far - keep it up! I think that the abandoned alchemist's hut east of Helgen and across the mountain pass by Haemar's Shame would make an excellent base for your character!
Well, what do you think? Are the Forsworn bloody savages that deserve prompt and utter destruction, or can you identify with their struggle to regain their beloved ancient homeland? Please, discuss.
At a high level, it seems that Forsworn Briarhearts get ridiculously tough to kill. I was level 60 or so and fancied myself invincible when I ran into a group somewhere in the Reach. I dispatched the Forsworn with comical ease.... until the boss room. I entered the Briarheart's lair full of fury...
Right now I'd have to say mine is Dawnbreaker. It's a beautiful weapon with a sick enchant, and really fits the paladin that I'm currently roleplaying.
On my first character I did Alvor's little smithing tutorial straight out of Helgen. Once I'd completed it, he told me to keep my iron dagger and hide helmet, and that I should remember him while I was crafting Skyforge Steel. I kept my two tokens of smithing noobhood until, hours of gameplay...
I actually thought quite a bit about this as well. I left the axe in the tomb, simply because I felt that it was indeed a weapon of genocide and that, since it had been reforged, it would be better and more fitting to end its career of bloodshed and destruction by leaving it in the tomb to...
In my opinion, Bethesda RPG's such as Skyrim should first and foremost be a single player experience, like they always have. Therefore, I believe that there should always be a massive element of single player gameplay present in the future TES games. However, I would not be averse to adding in a...
The Dremora Lord is freaking awesome. I love their dialouge, their looks and their formidable skills. It makes me feel godlike (or daedralike, I guess) to summon one of those total badasses from the plane of Oblivion in order to slay my enemies while bound to me in servitude. However, I also...
I wish that the Orsimer were represented! That being said, I do appreciate the Altmer as well, so they got my vote. Definitely in my experience the best race for playing a pure mage. I also roleplayed an Altmer Thalmor operative and it was surprisingly fulfilling to be a snobby douche for a...
Hmm, off the top of my head I can't think of any follower that is more morally questionable than Eola, the creepy cannibal woman that you can recruit upon completing the "Taste of Death" daedric quest and become Namira's champion. She's pretty messed up. But she's also pretty difficult to obtain...
Well, Chillrend's pretty cool. It's a sword with quite a powerful frost enchantment on it, and if you discover it above level 48, I believe, its base damage will be higher than Daedric and on par with Dragonbone weapons. It's linked to the Thieves' Guild questline, but you can still get to it...
Galathor - my beloved first character, a Nordic board and sword warrior
Marcus Arcturus - Imperial thief and assassin
Caeros Valeren - my Altmer mage that I roleplayed as an exposed Thalmor spy and an all-round douche
Wrothgar Steelfist - Orc Weaponmaster, a dual wielding specialist clad in...
My first character was a Nord (I thought it would be a pretty safe bet for my first character). He started out as a barbarian, but I became fairly frustrated with learning the ropes of Skyrim as a barbarian on Expert difficulty, so he kind of morphed into a board and sword warrior. He was...
Mine is definitely this one from Paarthurnax: "What is better? To be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" Seriously, that dragon's wisdom can astound me at times.
I'd have to say Orc. While each race is good for its own unique reasons, nothing beats the raw intimidation power of an Orc. Bad. Ass. That being said, I also appreciate their unique bestial appearance customization - fangs, cooler war paint, skin colour - and their racial ability is second to...
Hmm, while it would be cool to see a Snow Elf as a Dragon Priest, I would not be surprised if the Dragon Priest turns out to be Konarihk, owner of the "hidden mask" that you receive upon collecting the 8 other unique Dragon Priest masks. The trailer showed (from what I recall) an interior shot...
