Is it worth suggesting the Forgotten City for this round too? It's an old dwemer ruin inhabited by new people. The whole thing is a murder/mystery type affair but it comes with a full suit of it's own Dwarven Armour....if we're adding in dwemer themed mods, that is :)

We can... as a bonus.. just like I did Clockwork... I know Clockwork is SLE & SSE ( PC & x-box 1).. but IF their is someone playing on PS ( either one) or 360, then it wouldn't be fair toadd them as regular points.. ( unless we add specific dungeon's just for them.. ie like Forelhost or Saarthal.. something along those lines)

Man, this round is really speaking to me. I've already decided who my competitor will be! Rhea, one of my few survivors will be returning from Cyrodiil for this round.

I'm thinking of doing a male for this round.. sword and shield, shield and spell... their are some nice mod's for some beards..."Dwemer style"... plus I can never manage a fem in heavy armor.. doesn't look right to me.. to clunky... the one thing females should have over males is speed and agility.. Not saying that I haven't seen some women ( IRL ) that would out man some men.. but... in my games... even my Glamazon's wear light armor.. or medium at most.

Mace and shield for Rhea, plus light armor. She was a very direct, and in your face warrior. Probably end up looking like this:

One hand
Light armor
Block
Archery
Smithing

Lockpicking
Speech

I'll probably go male again, heavy armoured spellsword or something like that....lots of mods available to expand summons/offensive spells :)

Very few heavy armours i've seen that work for making women look GOOD without being skimpy/manly but I think the Medusa Armour might manage it....if memory serves, it requires dwarven smithing to create

Their are a few "heavy" armors I like, but to me they really look more like medium armor..

Trace,
Agreed ;)
Adella is trialling all heavy for the first time ever, from the get go.....but no way on the gods Nirn am I going to force my beautiful lady into a Dwarven tank suit.
Orcish will be bad enough, but you know why we are doing this.....yes....the Diano Daedric armour is the end goal. Adella likes to show off in it....and I just like to see her in it :drool:

Why the Dwarven gear had to be quite so clunky is beyond me...yes yes I know the LotR Dwarf archetype....little square guys with thick arms and legs wearing really heavy armour.

Well the Contessa IS a glamazon at the end of the day and she simply must look good in whatever she wears......Dwarven armour....is out!

I can reroll Ignatius, my only competition winner (old board). He was a Bronze Sentinel.

I'm thinking my Scholar will be Breton mage with conjuration, destruction (other TBD) and enchanting. Follower mage or maybe spellsword; without smithing I doubt a melee follower will last long. I'll definitely be doing test runs to see at what level I dare step foot into the the Falmer's world with this character. Probably 15 hours gameplay before the Dwemer diving will start, so I'm all for the 50 or 60 hour time limit. When do we start? :D

Not til after the Nekkid Nord round. .. probably a week to two weeks, which will give everyone a chance to do a test run.... or two.

didn't list out individual books of a series, so may need to add sub lists if we want them all pre-identified

I know a lot of people have a list of 5 skills.. I want to remind everyone that their IS a potential to get up to Legendary... I know speech and Lock-picking are freebies.. but will those 5 skills be enough to live past Master and Legendary.... scaled LvL'ing

I'm not saying that we should go to 6.. just reminding everyone.

We're tough. We don't need extra skills. We can take out draugrs with our teeth.
