I didn't preorder it so I'm just gambling that one of the 6+ Gamestops within 20 minutes of my house has a spare copy. |

I'm probably going to be boring and go with an Imperial. I might try an Orc or Redguard though. And I'm surprised you're not going to make a Khajiit. |

Khajiit get a claw attack in this one, but argonians get faster health regen than anybody. Also, argonians have high levels of catness. I can't be happy unless I play one in any TES game. |

Been looking more at the game on the Elder Scrolls Wiki and I like what they've done with magic. It always seemed like a hassle to me before, having to cycle through skill bars to find the spell you want to use. This being able to assign each hand a task and then having each trigger on the controller be assigned to a hand seems easier. I also like the leveling up via picking perks and forming constellations. Looks nifty. |

Goddammit is unarmed combat hard. Most random encounters own me. after getting the 'Fists of Steel" perk, my unarmed damage is mostly equivalent to other combat skills. I punched the hell out of the first dragon i ran across |

Ended up going with redguard and I've been putting my perks into one-handed weapons and heavy armor, although I'm only level 5 so far. |

i'm up to about 18-19. most of the way through the heavy armor tree. sprinkling in the restoration, enchantment, and smithing trees. not much use for weapon perks where you are the master of fisticuffs. though i have found a werewolf and am attempting to contract lycanthropy. dominant comment though: it is appalingly easy to fight dragons. I've been killed tens of times by ghosts and liches, but no dragons. |

Thane Fistfuck shall investigate ![]() also, i've got to say 'hist skin' is an amazing racial daily power. Most enemies can't eat past my health regen when i use it. Great for ambushes. dragons are still pushovers. i have 28 dragon bones in my night stand :P. and if you haven't done it, i suggest investing heavily in the smithing tree. I made a set of plate armor that out defended dwarven armor once i improved it at a work bench. and i gave my caster follower a set of improved dwarven armor. You can power level the skill by buying all the leather and iron ingots from both vendors in white run and just going to town making daggers or hide bracers at their forge. I went from 25 to 50 to 77 before i knew it. Just costs a lot. |

I always tend to be within 30lbs of my inventory limit. I pick up a lot. Grab every herb, mine every ore deposit, grab every ingot, etc. It doesn't help that I wear heavy armor, which takes up a good portion of my weight limit. At least at the end of the heavy armor tree there's a perk that makes the heavy armor you're wearing weightless. Grabbing that as soon as I can, which unfortunately won't be for a while. |

All of these things are true. I'm a werewolf assassin... and by that I don't mean I assassinate werewolves. I've slain both an emperor and the rebellion leaders... all in one play through. I've decapitated dragons and played football with their heads. I've barely done a single main quest line.... and I'm over 24 hours of play time in. I have no regrets. |

That is exactly the foolhardy course I'd expect of you. I've joined the Imperial Legion in this playthrough and my character is warrior-ish. I'll do Stormcloaks as a thief-ish character next run through. I've done a bit of the main plot, but not terribly much. Met the Greybeards and returned their horn to them, that's it. |

Thane Fistfuck completed the main quest line the other day by punching all opposition into submission. At the end of his career he had 80ish heavy armor, 100 smithing, and 50ish restoration as his only noteworthy skills. after toying with a new character, a dual bound sword wielding lightly armored skirmisher type. i believe the game is actually easier with a heavy armor puncher character because you're more in control of leveling and your damage is directly correlated with your defensive skill. I spread the skirmisher's perks too thin and ended up a glass cannon. Also, I became a werewolf and hardly ever used the transformation. Not being able to loot or use potions/healing magic really sucks. Though I had to try and fight a dragon as a werewolf. It was a horrible idea. Just recently started a character where I ground sneak up to 100 in the starter area by repeatedly sneak attacking the invincible helper NPC. Is fun so far. |

I just completed the Civil War quest line. Also had fun not going into Riften until I had about 15 quests sending me there. Death by quest arrow.
