Level 22 Nord, Male, aligned with the Legion.
My focus is on 2H weapons and Archery. I'm essentially a tank character that deals massive amounts of damage.

Two characters:
Imperial -- Archery/Sneak ... actually, that's about it -- Level 32
Breton -- One-Handed (Dual Wield)/Light Armor/Destruction/Conjuration ... Enchanting/Smithing/Alchemy -- Level 45.
Next planned is a 2H Nord with Restoration. Or Conjuration for Undead summoning. Unsure which route I'd rather do more.

thanks for this. i'm going to pick it up for PC tonight.
in recent months i've been reading up on ancient medieval lore, and the idea of Dragons, Gnomes, Elves, Fairies, although ingrained in our mythology today, is not all just make believe.
I've been studying psychonautic, herbal medicines used by ancient cultures (Peruvian, Middle Eastern, Egyptian), and one particular natural chemical called DMT, when ingested, can bring about 'hallucinations' of elves, fairies, alien intelligences, spaceships, etc. What I realized was that multiple people have had the same visions under the influence of DMT.
'The Spirit Molecule' by Dr. Rick Strassman is a good read on this phenomenon.
Call me crazy, but I do believe that dragons, elves, fairies all exist but possibly not in this dimension.

Ah fuck, I just slit Lydias throat thinking it was another bandit
Odin. Nord - Level 26 currently.
I'm mixing it up, giving as much as I can a fair whirl. Mainly using two-handed, one-handed, destruction and restoration. A bit of conjuration.
He's an excellent cook and blacksmith. Still need to do more alchemy. I just find it hard because I have collected plenty of potions as it is.

Red guard -- One Handed Swords / Destruction -- Level 2.
My character is a ranger (named "Bones", naturally) at heart but plays like a spellsword. He wears light, leathery armor. Right hand is for short swords, Left hand is for Destruction magic. Obviously as I get to higher levels, the playstyle will evolve and I'll try my hand at smithing, etc.
The glitches in this game. You see most of the funny ones in videos, what you don't really see are the bad ones. Like this one right now just made me get up and walk away from the game. So I just fought
(a boss) and I wanted to talk to
(a NPC) to continue on the main story line quest. Well I get close to them to talk and he starts spinning like they were in a vortex and shot up into the sky. So I'm stuck there in the conversation, can't hear a thing being said in the main questline now, and just picking responses at random. Yeah, the game's large, but this is probably the most bug filled game I've played since, well, Oblivion. They really need to do something over there at Bethesda. Thus far I'd agree with the scores IF the numerous amount of bugs didn't exist, hell, even half of those bugs.
Also, I get a lot of CTD while playing this, as well as when the textures don't load right and objects/npcs look that purple-ish color. My one friend told me he saw something about possibly needing to tweak how much RAM the game uses or something? Does that sound right and if so, how does one do it?

I've already completed the Civil War (kind of wish I had waited now, since some town mayors are now different because of the result of the Civil War).
Early in Act 2 of the Main Story
Just started the Companions in Whiterun (not sure how big a quest that might be)
Just started College in Winterhold.
Haven't done anything with the Thieves guild or Dark Brotherhood.
Been to all the main cities except Dawnstar.
Tower of Azura is awesome looking. First found it while in the middle of blizzard conditions.
Was disappointed in Winterhold. Earlier in the game, I had went north from Windhelm to fight a monster, and saw this large tower in the background, in the direction towards Winterhold. So when I finally decide to go there, Winterhold is just a few houses. You don't even have to load into it like the big cities.
Course, the early theory for Winterhold's "small in stature" is pretty interesting.

Agreed. It's weird how the Thalmor treat me, a fellow High Elf, as a lowly Nord. Moreso, how the racist Stormcloaks are so quick to accept the help of an Altmer who could easily be a Thalmor spy.bengraven said:

Nord -- One handed/Destruction/Heavy Armour/Enchanting -- Level 21
Loving playing this build atm, however it does feel very jack of all trades, master of none. Enjoying playing through looking like Eddard Stark from behind. Characters name is Rhaegar... Game Of Thrones has ruined my imagination.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
And I just saw Lydia fly...BigJonsson said:

I'm gonna post this again since a lot probably missed it.
If you plan to dual wield, wear a fast weapon on your left hand (dagger is the only one I think of). Your dual wield attacks will have the fast dagger speed, but you can put whatever weapon you want in your right hand. Super fast dual wield power attack (especially if you include the perk that speeds it up). I feel like the legendary Musashi wearing a dagger + sword
(And if you sprint in third person with your 2 weapons sheathed out, it looks even more awesome)
Build: Conjurer dual wield female Redguard. Name: Mistgun. Favorite shout: Fus Ro Dah.
One hand / Conjuration / Destruction / Restoration / Alteration / Smithing / Alchemy / Heavy armor
Summons + dagger & bound sword wielding + amazing armor = awesome. Right now training alteration mostly just for the magic resistance.

I did enjoy the book immensely. Price Dalton said:
I watched a lot of his lectures. A great mind. Culture is your enemy hehe.
I'm watching a lot of Graham Hancock's lectures on ancient history too. Now I'm fully into the psychonautic scene. A real eye opener. Just bought Michael Talbot's book 'The Holographic Universe.'

I named my character DarakoManticore said:So what did you guys name your characters? Mine is Stargaryen, Stark + Targaryen
I have a tradition of naming my character a variation of that since Diablo.
Darakas - Diablo (Fighter)
Darakan - Everquest (Ranger)
Darakas - Diablo II (Paladin)
Darakai - Morrowind (Dark Elf Assasin)
Darakai - WoW (Troll Warrior)
Darak - Oblivion (Orc Warrior)
Darako - Skyrim (Wood Elf Archer)
etc... many more in between.

Breton -- Conjuration/Enchanting/One-Handed -- Level 11
So goddamn fun. I use conjuration to summon my atronach or revive fallen enemies and to fill soul gems to recharge my enchanted war-axe, enchanting is so good in this game! Today I ventured into a zone too high for my level and encountered a sabretooth. I barely managed to kill it and then revived it to make it fight alongside me. He just kept two-shoting other sabretooths. God this game is so great. And today I encountered my first random dragon. I saw it appear from behind the tundra horizon, slowly approaching me, so menacing! Fortunately I lured it towards a mammoth herd, and when three mammoths and two giants piled on him he lasted 5 seconds lol.
Brilliant.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Just about to grind my Ebony War Axe to Legendary. When it was flawless, it was killing dragons in just a few swings. Can't wait to let loose this horrible death tool upon Skyrim.

How difficult is it to completely switch gears on a character? I'm currently level 17 or 18 and mostly focused on Heavy Armor/One Handed/Archery with a bit of shields. I like my character enough but I really want to try a stealth/light armor character but don't want to completely lose my 20+ hours of progress. Anyone completely change specs this far in?

Just fus'd a bandit off the tree trunk that acts as a makeshift bridge over the waterfall. Hearing him say "you picked a bad day to get lo...AAAAH" was incredibly satisfying.
There's something about a newly smithed bit of gear that gets my dopamine receptors firing like assault rifles, you just know that whenever you leave that hub town there's gonna be a reckoningthetrin said:

I fus'ed a cave bear off of the 7000 steps to High Hrothgar. I was only at the bottom, so he didn't fall very far, he actually landed right-smack in the middle of the river running through Ivarstead. Right as I go peeking over the edge I see him getting dragged along by the current and thrown over a cliff's edge in a waterfall.blahblah...blah said:
