chickenbaltipie Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 When I played this on PS3 I played as a Nord. Tank build, two handed weapons, heavy armor I am going to play as the High Elf this time. Decent starting stats in magic, +50 magic and daily ability to regenerate magic faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMaySlayLizDaw94 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 As always with ES High Elf, female, spellsword, specced in one-handed weapons, destruction and restoration magic and a wearer of light armor. Crafts her own potions and armor/weaponry Will also spec her into all the thievery trees as I enjoy becoming super rich by pickpocketing everyone I see and stealing everything not nailed down 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skateak Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Argonian like, same as PS3 version. I just like how they look. If I choose a different race it will be Khajiit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styx2319 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Bosmer stealth archer. Always liked sneaking around with a bow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splathew Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) I'm going with an Ork just to do something totally different. I have all ready played as a Mage and Archer. I'm going with a Tank build this time around. Edited October 27, 2016 by Splathew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Breton paladin. All the combat skills raise naturally through continued use, so I'm looking for a race with starting bonuses in all the secondary skills I use that don't see as much use, which are Restoration, Alteration, Alchemy, and Speechcraft.

ShogunCroCop Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I played on PS3 as an Imperial...but I think this time on the PS4, I will be a Nord, since, after all, Skyrim belongs to the Nords!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viech54 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I haven't made up my mind. On PS3, I played Imperial for more money. I don't remember what I played on PC. Probably Nord. I have no idea what I want on PS4, but I know I don't like playing as a mage in Skyrim, so most likely no Altmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asvinia Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Khajiit or Argonian, most likely Khajiit. I like to think that the NPCs are surprised not that the Dragonborn has arrived, but that the almighty Dragonborn is a lizard or drunken cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazingCat83 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I play as various races, but my main one is a Khajiit. Like the kitties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubanga Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Nord because I wanna play as the race that's actually supposed to be the Dragonborn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonoutcast Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Imperial, I'm steadily working towards a heavy armor one handed/magic build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartolomeus Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'll play as a Nord. Not entirely sure whether I'll play as an archer or a SnS, but I'm pretty determined about playing as a Nord. However I'm not sure if I'll use one character to earn all trophies, or if I'm going to use this Nord of mine to become a Companion, do the civil war and main story, before creating a new character with a different race to be a wicked wizard or sneak thief and complete the other guild quests and Daedric quests. My main Nord fellow is likely to be a nice guy, and would certainly have qualms about doing the Daedra's bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon8r351 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 If you intend on becoming a Vampire, take note that they get 50% weakness to fire. Dunmer have 50% resistance to fire. If you're a Dunmer vampire, you have no particular resistance or weakness to fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Maybe it's just me, but I like to pick a character with perks to skills that I'm not going to specialise in. That way, when I do need to use them, they're slightly boosted. Like @damon pointed out, everything you do use will be boosted up to respectable levels in no time. Consequently, I usually go for Breton, and I like to main a stealthy archer assassin type of build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tao-Sianu Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) I'll be trying a Khajiit. In all my past playthough's I stuck to the human races, so I decided to have a change.Since it's based on an existing character of mine (not Elder Scrolls related) who's an alchemist, it's also forcing me into a playstyle I've never really tried before by trying to avoid offensive/defensive skills as much as possible. Usually I go the thief/archer or barbarian route. edit: I'm still having fun with it, but something I didn't really notice so much before, being human n' all...Other characters really don't react to your character in a way you would think they would. This became really apparent whilst I, a Khajiit, was stood in Whiterun being told by somebody how Khajiit aren't allowed inside the city walls as though I wasn't one...Not to mention being refereed to as a man quite a few times when my character is female...I mean, I get why this would happen in terms of not gating off content, but it would have been neat if picking x race also came with the negative aspects of being that race, or I had to at least prove that I could be trusted unlike the the other Khajiit (which I can't. I've stolen a lot).If I remember correctly, people at least acknowledged I was an Imperial or Nord whilst so far the only character to really acknowledge my race was the "who are you?" guy. But whatever, I'm a cat now, so it's cool. Edited November 3, 2016 by Tao-Sianu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacks Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I've played as a Redguard since Morrowind, but I actually went the Breton route this time for a reason I don't know why (just needed a change, I guess). I always liked Redguards for the sole fact that they fit my hoarding style quite nicely with their Adrenaline Rush ability that gives me enough strength to tow my heavy items back to safe storage instead of having to choose between them out in the open. Other than that, Adrenaline Rush is absolutely worthless and probably well deserved for the hate it gets, but, aside from the orc's ability which is like turning down the difficulty for a minute, I don't find any of the unique abilities particularly useful after the first couple of hours so in the end it's kind of a wash.

AbleArcher97 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I play as an Imperial because I usually play as myself in the games and I'm primarily of Italian ethnicity, and the imperials are clearly supposed to be Romans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequently, I usually go for Breton, and I like to main a stealthy archer assassin type of build. By comparison, my Breton started out this way for the skills I use most: Smithing: 15 Heavy Armor: 15 Block: 15 Two-Handed: 15 Archery: 15 Speech: 20 Alchemy: 20 Restoration: 20 Alteration: 20 By level 15, my skills look like this: Smithing: 30 Heavy Armor: 31 Block: 27 Two-Handed: 41 Archery: 39 Speech: 34 Alchemy: 29 Restoration: 26 Alteration: 27 It's fun turning a mage-specific race into a melee warrior or a thief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
