Was tempted to go for Altmer or Khajiit...but that magic resist is too useful and Atronach Stone interferes with conjuration. If Bran doesn't pan out, then i'll switch to a atronach stoned sword and board paladin, but not sure what race with that one....possibly Imperial or Dark Elf

And another Breton.
There's only one Imperial, one Altmer and one Nord!

Thank you for confirming. I was extremely confused for a minute!

Breton is a good choice for a mage character.. as is Altmer...so why is Davin a Nord? Cause his daddy liked tall blondes?

I'm probably going for a spellsword/arcane warrior. Main skills would be heavy armor, alteration, restoration, destruction and smithing. Enchanting and one handed as secondary skills.

I wish luck to everyone and I hope you have fun!

In my case, it was a Breton because that's the race my pun name "Polly Fonix" seemed to fit. :D

About what Davin is using.. but we may add in Conjuration, depends on how much he really need's help in a fight.

Decided to go with the "I'm a vigilant of stendarr" start, since we're doing a dawnguard comp :teehee:

I have come to the conclusion that Bran is not viable as a vampire from the start on Legendary, so I will be reducing down to Expert....
He was just shredded by two wolves, almost made it back to the safety of Whiterun and it's guards, but the wolf got him in the back just as he jumped off the rock perimeter onto the battlements.

To reflect his change in difficulty, Bran will also be seeing a change in race to Altmer and a shift towards arcane warrior with a sneak/illusion bias. With a downgrade to Expert, he will hopefully also not need conjuration which means Atronach Stone will be getting picked up eventually

So, new entry:

Poncho
Beranabus
Altmer
Male
Expert

Alternate Start: attacked and left for dead (may decide to join the dawnguard...we shall see)

Poncho.. I'm going to guess you mean the faction start? The two faction starts are not allowed for this round... well any of the faction starts. I wrote myself into a pain with that, as I generally do the companions line and then build the character that way. Before Dawnguard.

Nah, it's not a faction start. Alternate Start - New Beginnings is a extension for the original mod and that is one of the new options.

Areial I didn't mean dawnguard start, meant may join dawnguard instead of the vamps, once I have some time under my belt :)

Beranabus the Altmer has met his end at the hands of surprisingly powerful spells in the temple of Vaermina...since I usually play without ASIS, hadn't expected to be getting hit for 70-80 health with shock spells....no magic and Erandur wasn't being all that much help. Lesson learned, stay away from there until higher level, even using dual cast fury on the priests (it affected them, they didn't resist) still sends them charging after me instead of each other.

I'll give it another go in the morning, got saturday, monday, tuesday off this week

Jane ill read that when I get home, I was only aware of the faction starts.

After a slow, plodding start, The Breton, Elayne has accomplished quite a lot in a relatively short time. Hungry for the coin, she cleared Embershard Mine easily, then the bandits at the tower just across the river. When she returned to Riverwood, she was saddened to note that Faendahl had been killed by a snowy sabrecat.

Desperately in need of good spells, she made the trek to Whiterun. The Jarl and his mage wanted her to go immediately to fetch a stone, but she was determined she was not going until she could defend herself properly.

She cleared Silent Moon Camp, Redoran's Retreat, and Valtheim towers as well getting the benefit of the Lord Stone. Then The Breton went to Bleak Falls, and shortly thereafter had her encounter with Mirmulnir...

Currently, she is at level 10, (made her saves) just met Durak learned of the Dawnguard. Right now, she's preparing to go to Windhelm and then on to High Hrothgar first thing in the morning.

A cloud of dust...
A flash of steel...
The breton Elayne will sally forth beneath the wings of that famous Breton war cry...
"Bon Sigh, Mothra Trucker!"
