Vigilant of Stendarr, I'm sorry.

But you are the weakest link.

We are now inside the 10 day countdown (i.e. 9 days to go) Do we want to get the OH FISH ALL thread up and running? *no no I'm not comping at the bit at all, HONEST!*

"Comping"?

(Yeah, I read it. But I had to cheat, because my eyes are too old for that size print. :) )

I'm still working out my character, but eager to start. I'm seriously leaning towards a mage or mage-archer for this one, though.

:lmao: that's a freudian something or other slip. cHomping or comping I do believe the latter to be more appropriate! :teehee:

I'm running a test Altmer.

I haven't played a high elf in ages, and I'd sort of forgotten how powerful Illusion can be. I had been thinking in terms of a spellsword, but now I think Xa is going to be more like the "Witchhunter" class from the earlier games (stealthy mage-archer).

Destruction, Illusion, Conjuration, Alteration, Archery, and Sneak.

I landed my test Xa on Solstheim ("Left for Dead" seems to drop me there about 3/4 of the time), and she managed to take out the gang of reavers in the tower near Raven Rock, with nothing but the starting "fury" and "flames."

I have not yet decided 100% what A'Darien is going to use. Probably just typical 2h, but Conjuration added in.

2h, heavy, archery, smithing, sneak, conjuration.

Yeah, there's always a trade-off when you're skill-limited. Putting Conjuration into the mix means leaving out something you'd ordinarily use for a warrior-type. Your 2Hand mix is probably the best way of doing it, and it's the way I've been testing "Brynhildr." (Except light armor instead of heavy.)

The thing that worries me about my mage-archer is that it's a no-craft "build." I could drop archery, and just go full-mage with Enchanting, but then I'd lose a valuable ranged attack. I'm thinking about Orchendor, but the bow is really useful for any squishy character.

I can pretty much keep from using block...with the 2h... but I have a bad habit if something doesn't die quick enough with an arrow or two, I bashing it once shooting and if needs be bashing it again. I have never been a really good archer... Which is one of the reasons for sneak!

Heavy is because I don't like many of the light armors, vanilla. A'Darien will wear iron till he can get steel plate, then Ebony... Which is as high as he will go, I don't like the other armors. I will have Immersive armors in the load order and may find something I like.

Conjuration... well bow, 2h, and various summons.

If I decide on a female character instead... it would be more mage with sword... 1h, destruction, conjuration, alteration, enchanting and illusion. I hate not having sneak.

Edit: Stupid dang auto correct...

If I could count on getting good staffs, I'd consider going no-Destruction, and no melee weapon. Shields are pretty effective offensive weapons when you get some perks into bashing.

Something like Block, Alteration, Conjuration, Archery, Sneak, and Enchanting.

And that is one of the reasons I like grimoire... better variety of staffs...even if they still don't sell them, which I think is ridicules.

Every school has staffs that actually DO something!

Ouch!!

I generally like the "camping".. even though it's light armor to start and nothing but a bow..

I really like the escape from the abandoned prison start. On higher difficulties, the ghosts can make it interesting - especially since the first weapon you find is a wood chopping axe. But, it offers ample supplies to get you going, too. It even has a full set of leather armor.

That ones a good one too. The camping one gives you the leather armor..and some supplies, sold they amount to maybe a tad more than going through Helgen.. but with out the xp and melee weapon. Which I found out with a quickness yesterday mean's that going to Falkreath first is... problematical so is stopping by the mine..
