Race, Skills, Weapons, and Magic

  • We're all excited for Skyrim, and if you're as fortunate as I was, you may have even played the game for a short time, but what I'm here to ask is what Race you'll play as, what skills you'll focus on, what types of weapons you'll be using (steel, enchanted, daedric, etc.), and what type of magic you'll be using.

    Throughout my Elder Scrolls playing I've stuck with my Shadowscale (an Argonian under the Shadow), so I've typically stuck to that, using the sneak, lockpicking, and light armor skills. Typically I'll be seen lurking in the shadows wielding my Blade of Woe with a Chameleon spell and a Fireball spell hotkeyed, getting ready to pick off my next target. 

    What will you're race be?
    What weapons will you use?
    What skills will you focus on?
    And what magic class will you use most?
