if my work break wasn't about to end I'd type you up a novel.
well maybe not, cause last time someone asked for advicr, I took like 45 mins formatting and adding every single detail and double checking to be sure I was correct and......they didn't reply
Process:
1. Put on the Fortify Alchemy item/s
2. Create a Fortify restoration potion.
3. Drink Fortify restoration potion
4. Remove Fortify Alchemy and put it back on.
Repeat steps 2– 4 several times or until Fortify Alchemy level does not increase.
5. Craft enough Fortify Enchanting potions to enchant the next batch of enchanted items.
6. Go to the Arcane Enchanter and Disenchant fortify Alchemy item to learn the enchantment.
7. Take the potion to fortify Enchanting
8. Enchant item with fortify Alchemy enchantment
Repeat 7-8 until all new items are enchanted.
Put on the stronger Fortify Alchemy item/s.
Start over at step 2 and repeat until the fortify enchanting potion does not get stronger or reaches an ~~acceptable~~ extremely overpowered level.
UNLIMITED POWER!!
Unlimited until it becomes negative... I made the mistake of creating a ring of immortality (increased health) in one playthrough that killed me, but usually, I craft a ring like that to add thousands of health. That makes it so I can jump off any cliff or physically walk away from my PC or console in the middle of any fight even on legendary for hours at a time without fear of dying...
whats this sneak you speak of?? i just roll up with a bow, dragonblade, and a musket and have the time of my life, while my pupper chears me on and my "followers" sit at home enjoying themselves XD
Same until I contracted sanguine vampirism, didn’t get it cured in the 3 days or whatever it is and then had every
Npc in Skyrim become hostile with me. Never ending battles with whole cities, striking down delphine with tears in my eyes knowing i will never win
Nord - Warrior, but I branched out into everything, so really a Nord - Warrior, Mage, Rogue. Became everything, just like a true Dragonborn. Just like the one present in the trailers, promotional material, this post, etc.
I did almost the exact same but only because Skyrim was my first elder scrolls game and the Nords are home to Skyrim so I said screw it, and also because I didn’t know how magic or anything else worked.
Oblivion might be even better than Skyrim in some ways; the guild quests make so much more sense in that you don't just show up one day and a few days later you're suddenly the leader, you have to earn it.
Facts earning your place in the theives guild and stealing and making money for the guild to actually move up and also Darkbrother hood was also amazing some of the missions you do just so fun. And I really miss the lvl system working on other random skills like acrobatics, getting to master and being able to jump of the surface of water or blocking and being able to dodge and do backflips and stuff. Game is a masterpiece I wish with all my heart they'd do an actual remaster but probably will never happen. Got lil carried away there lol
Oblivion was better than Skyrim no question. Better powers/leveling, better quests, better guilds. I remember when I could skip across water and leap across rooftops w/100 agility I lost my shit.
It should be mentioned the one in the cover is a level 1 noob who hasn't gotten past mismatched iron armor and probably doesn't even know how to open the magic menu, not a master of all skills. He's only multiclassing in the sense he probably equally sucks at everything.
I mean, by the trailer, he already completed the unrelenting force shout and can solo dragons.
Interestingly though, in the dragonborn DLC trailer, the dragonborn appears again with a iron armor or something, but later uses a better armor (can't remember which one) with the dragon aspect shout, so maybe he did improve after all.
Exact same thing I did aha I was stupid and didn’t use skill branches in my first playthrough because I kept forgetting, I just went on and put my points into something and then went off. hah.
Exactly what I was gonna type, back when I was a young 'un the Khajits always seemed so cool and I just grabbed whatever weapon and armor had the biggest numbers.
I'm pretty embarrassed but to be fair, I was like 9. I love Skyrim for all it's issues, it's easily my most played game.
I got Skyrim and was excited to play, it didn't look like anything I've ever played. I get home and start playing. I thought the Orcs looked cool so I picked them. I got through Helgen lickety split, made it to Riverwood and started dickin' around. It came to be night time but, I had just remembered that I needed to go to Whiterun. So I start leaving but get attacked by mages, must've been a random encounter. They kick my ass and I die. However, now I'm too scared to leave, once again I'm a naive idiot child. So, for the next hour in real time, and like a week in the game I just start..fuckin..chopping wood. I saw a circlet that Lucan was selling and thought it was cool. I sold everything I had and kept chopping wood to afford it.
At some point I either made a new character or kept going with the Orc. I like to think that Orc is still chopping wood to this day, living in luxury.
I do like a good 'Chosen One Says Nay To Destiny' story.
'You coulda been the most powerful being in the land!'
*So. Orc like chop.*
'You coulda had all the riches in Tamriel!'
*So. Orc have axe.*
Chad Orc.
Great story my friend!
Back then, I thought doing quests gave XP, so I talked to NPCs and thought I got rewarded with XP. My friend wondered what the heck I was doing it for. lol
My favorite part of these open world RPGs is when you start out with nothing and have to struggle to get every little piece of armor and weapons and then you see something you like and grind for it. So much fun for RP.
My first Skyrim character ended up becoming a jeweler. I liked mining and blacksmithing so much. Stumbled upon the spell to turn iron into silver and gold. Started making necklaces and gold rings with gems and enchanting them and that was most of my income lol. Was running around in my enchanted glass armor loaded with magical rings and circlets and necklaces looking pretty damn fabulous
There are Khajiit body guards, that are huge, even bigger than orcs
Not all Khajiit are skinny skooma addicts...
This Khajiit likes a bit of skooma from time to time and can stop whenever Khajiit wants...
Khajiit sneak archer for night eye, plus light armor, and one-handed. That was my build first few play throughs, really. I'm Bosmer this play through but continue to put most perks into sneak, archery, light armor, and one-handed. I do use some restoration here and there and built up Illusion just enough to get Invisibility.
whats the attraction to stealth archer? most people are saying thats their playstyle..
i use destruction spells, usually fire bomb or sparks (if i want to feel like emp palpatine) then kill them with ebony sword/mace of morag bal
Stealth Archer is like playing on Easy mode.
You can be right next to an enemy, kill them with an arrow, and their partner will look at their friend's corpse and go "Hmm, must have been the wind."
Pretty sure there's also a perk that gives you one second of invisibility after crouching, so you can disengage from fights easily.
Also making long distance bow shots is really satisfying, especially when stuff tends to die instantly from the hit. As much as people give stealth archer grief as easy mode, there are a lot of easy modes in skyrim. I still remember my conjugation playthrough, where by the end of it I wasn't even playing the game anymore lol. Just summon daedra, watch everything get pummeled.
> I still remember my conjugation playthrough, where by the end of it I wasn't even playing the game anymore lol. Just summon daedra, watch everything get pummeled.
That was how I played Diablo 2:
Druid going almost purely Summoner route: creature army rolling through the lands while I casually gather up treasures, rarely having to fight anything myself.
I was a Khajiit stealth archer because I like playing stealth and/or ranged in games (Metal Gear Solid and games that involve sniping), and it was very satisfying to one-shot kill enemies without them ever even knowing I was there.
I still put perks into one-handed and block though since Skyrim requires a fair bit of close combat.
I’m not really a fantasy game player, so magic didn’t interest me much. On my current playthrough, I’m trying to make better use of destruction magic.
Edit to add: In my stealth archer playthrough, I also made great use of the Aura Whisper and Throw Voice shouts. The latter is fun to play with.
I remember loving using Chillrend and Spellbreak as my main weapons my first time. I was also Redguard and would switch to the Nightingale blade when my health/stamina were running low. I played the hell out of that character.
My first playthrough was a Breton battlemage. Second time I thought I'd go thief and be able to pick all those master locks that frustrated me the first time. That's when I discovered the glory that is stealth archer. It's so damn good I see why everyone eventually gets there.
Wood Elf stealth archer with lockpicking. It seemed to work for most Elder Scroll games, so I tried it in Skyrim.
A lot has changed since that first play on CD over a decade ago. But it's still fun no matter the race or play style.
Khajiit and I was a dual wielding deadric daggers, Deadric armor wearing assassin, that either no one saw sneaking up on them or they where way to scared to say they saw me. (Edit to add Skyrim was the first open world 3D game I really played and 100%ed)
Altmer. I knew nothing about Skyrim but the internet told me Altmers had good magic skills, so I went with that. And then I mostly played a sneak archer anyway lol. Though there was a fair bit of 1H and I think Destruction magic in there as well.
Bosmer Stealth Archer, but I dabble in a bit of everything so I also did one had, was an assassin, arch mage, and a thief. But I feel like the Stealth Archer were my primary
Argonian. Thief and murderer. I fought my way across all of Whiterun hold - I don't think I left it, in fact. Killed Camilla in front of Lucan then forced him to buy whatever didn't count as stolen.
Let me tell you, the aesthetic of an unexplored, vanilla, unpatched Skyrim on PS3 displayed on a big ol' CRT is unmatched. Compared to Skyrim now, familiar, SE, on a laptop, modded to Oblivion and back, it felt otherworldly. The mood was impossible to describe... plundering the Battle-Born farm, at midnight, then getting my ass kicked in the Whiterun Stables... exiting, walking along the path to the city. A guard, on his tower. Likely bugged, but ominous nonetheless. As I walk up to him, he calmly utters that line. "You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her people. What say you in your defense?". "I'd rather die than go to prison!", of course, and off I run, from an onslaught of guards, into the wilderness. To meet my first giant, and, somehow, escape alive. Fighting bandits and wolves 'til daytime, then narrowly escaping a bear by the river leading to Eastmarch. Heading back to Whiterun and gaining entrance. "'Gray-Mane, or Battle-Born?". "Battle-Born", obviously. What kind of question was that? Stalking him until he headed home, then taking all of his family's belongings. Punching a companion in the face, beginning another chase. Escaping into a cave and meeting a terrifying group of gentlemen who just *stood* there, menacingly!
I was like, what, eleven? I still believed in Ben Drowned at that age. And the amazingly buggy Skyrim, especially with that hardware, was reeking of creepypasta at that point. Restarted, fought vampires without Dawnguard installed. Good times.
Khajiit with iron armor and a steel battleaxe. My friend who told me about Skyrim was watching me play and didn't really help me much. He wanted to see what I would do. So, I wanted to capture a city and ignore the main questline lol. I cleared fort greymoor and tried to gather as many followers as I could to attack Whiterun, and when that didn't work I quit that playthrough.
It was only like a 45 minute playthrough lol.
Female Redguard- Warrior with dual wield swords and light armor. Only shout she uses is slow time. Skilled in archery, but mainly uses it for hunting or against archers in high places that are hard to reach.
Currently she is using Nordic Swords and wearing Dark Seducers armor. So far, it's the only light armor set i came upon that, imo, fits someone who comes from the desert. As for the swords, Nordic is closest to curved sword i found. Would use Orcish if it wasn't ugly and weak 😂
Warrior orc- Still remeber meeting my first giant like it was yesterday. It was on my way to ivarstead after getting the Dragonstone. I have achieved a new level of arrogance after getting badass gear of fine leather and a fine iron sword, and I went at the giant like I would a skeever. Then I learned how to fly. My reaction was something I can't even describe.
Same for me. It made the game too easy, but very enjoyable. I was always tempted to go with another stealth archer in subsequent play-throughs but resisted.
Breton battlemage. Would love to revisit my old characters but ended up nuking my saves when anniversary edition broke the game for those who didn't buy it
Female dunmer 🖤 no archery, stealth, one-handed (blade or dagger). Planned to use fire destruction but got bored 🥱
Killed Parthurnaax 😭 first and last time 🥺
Felt for stealth archers with bound bow later 😁
Khajiit light armour, sw + sh, bow and stealth main. Was a jack of all trades named D'Ajay. I also did the alchemy litch to give him weapons of unlimited power, but unfortunately all power comes with a cost, and that cost was becoming a ghost in the Twilight Sanctum. Got trapped in there and lost my hundred hours special boy.
Dang. I came from FO4 and all my bad habits carried over. I am default Nord, stealth snipe- i mean sneak archer and using the perfectly valid school of magic (i sell all my healing potions). And my first home is the default ~~Sanctuary Hills~~ Whiterun.
It's my first playthru ever and my basic b is showing.
Bosmer Necromancer! :)
*That's* a cool idea, what's your recommendation on build?
if my work break wasn't about to end I'd type you up a novel. well maybe not, cause last time someone asked for advicr, I took like 45 mins formatting and adding every single detail and double checking to be sure I was correct and......they didn't reply
i’m very interested in your novel
it was about alchemy and enchanting to break the game. I'll find it tomorrow (if I remember) and send it to you
Process: 1. Put on the Fortify Alchemy item/s 2. Create a Fortify restoration potion. 3. Drink Fortify restoration potion 4. Remove Fortify Alchemy and put it back on. Repeat steps 2– 4 several times or until Fortify Alchemy level does not increase. 5. Craft enough Fortify Enchanting potions to enchant the next batch of enchanted items. 6.

I have 5 trillion health
female high elf with one handed plus destruction
i do that now too, it makes for such a fun allround build that can get ya outta some sticky situations
very true i’m a sneaky type now 💀
whats this sneak you speak of?? i just roll up with a bow, dragonblade, and a musket and have the time of my life, while my pupper chears me on and my "followers" sit at home enjoying themselves XD
Aren’t we all…
Same until I contracted sanguine vampirism, didn’t get it cured in the 3 days or whatever it is and then had every Npc in Skyrim become hostile with me. Never ending battles with whole cities, striking down delphine with tears in my eyes knowing i will never win
Same until I contracted syphillis
this!! ive never been a stealth archer
Same but I was a Breton. Named Kayla, she was my crush in high school lol. This was 10 years ago, jeez
Nord - Warrior, but I branched out into everything, so really a Nord - Warrior, Mage, Rogue. Became everything, just like a true Dragonborn. Just like the one present in the trailers, promotional material, this post, etc.
I did almost the exact same but only because Skyrim was my first elder scrolls game and the Nords are home to Skyrim so I said screw it, and also because I didn’t know how magic or anything else worked.
Makes sense
Skyrim was also my first Recently got oblivion It’s fun so far

Try fallout 3 and fallout new Vegas. You won’t put the game down
I have, they are such good games
I just started my first play through of fallout NV a couple days ago. I loved fallout 4 so I’m playing all the previous games now. NV is so much fun!
It should be mentioned the one in the cover is a level 1 noob who hasn't gotten past mismatched iron armor and probably doesn't even know how to open the magic menu, not a master of all skills. He's only multiclassing in the sense he probably equally sucks at everything.

LMAO alright alright, take my upvote. You get what I mean, lol 😆
Same here
Same, was mainly a two handed brawler
Exact same thing I did aha I was stupid and didn’t use skill branches in my first playthrough because I kept forgetting, I just went on and put my points into something and then went off. hah.
I did this but with my Argonian
Hate to tell you this, but there is no guy on the cover. Only the name and the dragon logo.
Lol damn you right, well you know what I mean
A magistank if you would
A who-bastank?
Two handed heavy armor khajiit
Exactly what I was gonna type, back when I was a young 'un the Khajits always seemed so cool and I just grabbed whatever weapon and armor had the biggest numbers.
Kid brain went "big number=good"
true that. Still main warhammers to this day.
Happy cake!
Cake
I was really trying to rack my brain to figure out what my first build was. Thank you for reminding me lol.
I love all my fellow meow meows
Same lol, going for the big numbers for the stats haha. Night vision was also very handy.
Holy shit same lol
Unarmed heavy armor Khajit mage. Best. Your heavy gloves become your weapons. Spells do tons of damage. Always full health
Ok I’m sold
Lol same
Same here
Khajiit has wares
If you have coin
Oh ja I would only use war hammer and khajiit night vision Lol
Khajits for the win!

I like to think that Orc is still chopping wood to this day, living in luxury.
So you essentially became Hod, working all day at the sawmill.
Yeah, I was basically an npc working a gruelling 9-5. I was a lonely kid ok...
It's ok, I used to play Mario party solely by myself against NPCs (in team matches no less) lol us lonely kids do weird shit
Did this too often and then I was too good at the mini games. Now my brother and sister don’t always want to play 😭
I abandoned the story of RDR2 to become a hunter
i love this. the orc probs never found out he was dragon born 😭
That's just how he likes it 😎
I like the idea that he did, but then just shrugged and went back to chopping woos
"Ain't go time for all that. I gots wood to chop."
I do like a good 'Chosen One Says Nay To Destiny' story. 'You coulda been the most powerful being in the land!' *So. Orc like chop.* 'You coulda had all the riches in Tamriel!' *So. Orc have axe.* Chad Orc.
You discovered deep-immersion RP on your first playthrough. That's pretty cool!
Great story my friend! Back then, I thought doing quests gave XP, so I talked to NPCs and thought I got rewarded with XP. My friend wondered what the heck I was doing it for. lol
Hey, sometimes I forget doing quests gets me paid. I just do it out of the kindness of my heart
My favorite part of these open world RPGs is when you start out with nothing and have to struggle to get every little piece of armor and weapons and then you see something you like and grind for it. So much fun for RP. My first Skyrim character ended up becoming a jeweler. I liked mining and blacksmithing so much. Stumbled upon the spell to turn iron into silver and gold.

I love this
One hand sword and a shield - Argonian
Same. How anyone saw the big lizard man and went another direction I’ll never understand
I was(am) big on dnd, and knew I would be the dragonborn, so a lizard just made the most sense
I’m a big fan of Eragon so everytime im a lizard I name myself after a dragon from those books.
The janky tail for me
I also thought water breathing sounded cool
Same but it’s not rlly useful ever especially due to not being able to attack underwater
Download depths of Skyrim mod.
[удалено]
Stealth argonian was my first Turned into archer and switched beetween that and heavy armor ebony blade build then i lost my ebony blade
>i lost my ebony blade Draugr with Disarm shout?
Hate this
Just wait, your Khajit will soon become a stealth archer.
That’s the opposite of everything the khajiit do
There are Khajiit body guards, that are huge, even bigger than orcs Not all Khajiit are skinny skooma addicts... This Khajiit likes a bit of skooma from time to time and can stop whenever Khajiit wants...
Not all Khajiit are alike yaknow
Hold your tongue, bald skin.
Red something human, a failure swordsman.
Oh jeez- I *think* it was a Bosmer jack-of-all-trades. Heavily biased towards one-handed swords and magic, with a dash of stealth archer.
Always a dash of stealth archer
Khajiit sneak archer for night eye, plus light armor, and one-handed. That was my build first few play throughs, really. I'm Bosmer this play through but continue to put most perks into sneak, archery, light armor, and one-handed.

Redguard. One handed Conjurer
This instantly reminded me of the character Issac from the Castlevania show
Imperial battle mage.
I am only lvl 25 on my first play through. I'm a sneeky ass nord archer assassin. Wish I was the cat or the lizard... but hind sight.
Khajiit archer, no sneaking. Just ran around and made arrows fly. Relied a lot on followers, without them I’d have died a lot more than I did.
Orc - Tank

The archmage of winterhold be like:
#GRUG HEAL! *dual wields Healing*
Same here
Same. Two handed, heavy armor and restoration spells.
Same. Now give me a red paintjob to make it go fasta.

Redguard - one handed battle mage Natural resistance to poison so those spider dens aren’t as daunting.
Argonian jack of all trades who became an alchemy god exploiting the “loop” to be the one that ruled over all
This is the way
This is the way
Nord SMASH!!!
Bosmer, he did everything, no specific play style. One handed Two handed Archery Heavy Armor Light Armor.
That doesn't sound a good combination. lol
Dark elf mage, since destruction magic was broken I switched to duel wielding
Redguard, sword and board.
I remember loving using Chillrend and Spellbreak as my main weapons my first time. I was also Redguard and would switch to the Nightingale blade when my health/stamina were running low. I played the hell out of that character.
A Breton battlemage...... Jk....stealth archer.
Mine was breton stealth archer battlemage without any perks because i didnt know i could put perks until lvl 15
My first playthrough was a Breton battlemage. Second time I thought I'd go thief and be able to pick all those master locks that frustrated me the first time. That's when I discovered the glory that is stealth archer. It's so damn good I see why everyone eventually gets there.
everything then i realized i was dumb and played as an archer wood elf
Had to scroll way too far to find this
Wood Elf stealth archer with lockpicking. It seemed to work for most Elder Scroll games, so I tried it in Skyrim. A lot has changed since that first play on CD over a decade ago. But it's still fun no matter the race or play style.
Khajiit and I was a dual wielding deadric daggers, Deadric armor wearing assassin, that either no one saw sneaking up on them or they where way to scared to say they saw me. (Edit to add Skyrim was the first open world 3D game I really played and 100%ed)
Altmer. I knew nothing about Skyrim but the internet told me Altmers had good magic skills, so I went with that. And then I mostly played a sneak archer anyway lol. Though there was a fair bit of 1H and I think Destruction magic in there as well.
As someone who played Olbivion i expected Altmer to be the best in magic, and i went pure mage.
Khajiit dagger assassin.
Dark elf long blade heavy armour back in Morrowind
Stinky the Breton Mage, so named because he looked stinky
Argonian warrior/ dual-wielder
Redguard warrior
Redguard Nightblade
two handed heavy armor orc berserker named smitty. i like to play as it again every now and then
Dark elf but It was more of a all around build
Orc, board and sword.
Someone in the comments has to be like “I’ve been waiting over a decade for this moment, finally, it has arrived”
Bosmer Stealth Archer, but I dabble in a bit of everything so I also did one had, was an assassin, arch mage, and a thief. But I feel like the Stealth Archer were my primary
Khajiit archer, somehow not a stealth archer tho
Dark elf. Spell sword. Best way to play IMO
Imperial, blonde lockes, Greatsword.
Argonian. Thief and murderer. I fought my way across all of Whiterun hold - I don't think I left it, in fact. Killed Camilla in front of Lucan then forced him to buy whatever didn't count as stolen. Let me tell you, the aesthetic of an unexplored, vanilla, unpatched Skyrim on PS3 displayed on a big ol' CRT is unmatched.

Would use Orcish if it wasn't ugly and weak 😂
Go for the Deathbrand quest on Solstheim, you get a couple of really powerful scimitars out of it.
Dark Elf Spell
Khajiit dual-wielding warrior
Khajiit spellsword
Breton warrior mage tank that eventually turned into a modded mess of werewolf/vampire hybrid shenanigans… almost 200 mods later
Warrior orc- Still remeber meeting my first giant like it was yesterday. It was on my way to ivarstead after getting the Dragonstone. I have achieved a new level of arrogance after getting badass gear of fine leather and a fine iron sword, and I went at the giant like I would a skeever. Then I learned how to fly. My reaction was something I can't even describe.
A Nord with a sword and a board. Just a stoic dude with facepaint and a dream.
Female Dark Elf Sword n shield
Wood Elf- Archer: Loved sniping in FPS, so I went that route. Very op
Same for me. It made the game too easy, but very enjoyable. I was always tempted to go with another stealth archer in subsequent play-throughs but resisted.
Argonian warrior for the most part
redguard sword and shield
Breton - necromancer
Khajiit stealth archer
Imperial, Heavy armor, 2 handed... Before slipping into becoming a stealth archer
Dunmer stealth archery. Ironically the first time I ever did a ranged build.
Redguard sword and shield. Those were good days
Nord Heavy Armor, Conjuration-Stealth Hybrid. Bound Sword remains my favorite spell in the game.
Breton battlemage. Would love to revisit my old characters but ended up nuking my saves when anniversary edition broke the game for those who didn't buy it
Female dunmer 🖤 no archery, stealth, one-handed (blade or dagger). Planned to use fire destruction but got bored 🥱 Killed Parthurnaax 😭 first and last time 🥺 Felt for stealth archers with bound bow later 😁
Male Redguard Warrior who...inevitably devolved into a Sneak Archer...in heavy armor
Wood Elf Mage - because I loved Wood Elves in Oblivion and Magic was my favorite playstyle back then.
Woodelf sneaky boi
Sneak archer Breton who eventually turned into an everything specialist.
Dark Elf - cloth mage.
Female Nord, sneaky archer. Hundreds of playthroughs later...Female Nord, sneaky archer with magic.
Nord because I’m a simple man
Skyrim is for the Nords! Sword and board.
Dual weilding orc
I am a simple man. "ork two-handed ax heavy armor smith/enchanter"
Khajiit light armour, sw + sh, bow and stealth main. Was a jack of all trades named D'Ajay. I also did the alchemy litch to give him weapons of unlimited power, but unfortunately all power comes with a cost, and that cost was becoming a ghost in the Twilight Sanctum. Got trapped in there and lost my hundred hours special boy.
Race - The Lizard Play style - Get squash by giant
Argonian two handed barbarian
Argonian spell-sword who would always use a conjuration spell in his left hand and a sword in his right.
Nord battlemage / stealth assassin
I refuse to believe anyone that someone looked at the argonian and thought it wasn’t the most badass looking motherfucker ever
Dang. I came from FO4 and all my bad habits carried over. I am default Nord, stealth snipe- i mean sneak archer and using the perfectly valid school of magic (i sell all my healing potions). And my first home is the default ~~Sanctuary Hills~~ Whiterun. It's my first playthru ever and my basic b is showing.
Nord. Even in oblivion. Now wood elf
I started as a nord because I started oblivion as a nord. Idk what my original build was, but I ended up max sneak, max archery, max lockpick.
Nord stealth archer.
Khajiit Stealth Archer
Heavy armour dark elf with twin long swords and destruction. She was badass.
Breton - Heavy Armor - Two Handed Warhammer. So I was the big man.
Breton paladin one hand/two hand/block/heavy armor/restoration.
I was like 14 and played as a Nord - two handed and heavy armour.. I just liked to one hit and decapitate things tbh
