Character Build Ideas - Help Me Choose

  • Posted by Cameron Swarbrick November 13, 2011 - 851 views

    Hey guys and gals,

    So, although I haven't started playing Skyrim yet, I will on Wednesday night. In preparation for this great moment, I thought I'd run a few character builds by you and get your opinions on what'd be most fun to play. So, here goes

    1) A Breton necromancer - specialising in Conjuration (duh), Destruction, Alteration and Enchantment.

    2) A magical ranger (Altmer/Bosmer/Redguard) - specialising in Sneak, Alchemy, Archery, One-Handed and Conjuration (bound bows and summons for larger battles)

    3) An Argonian Shadowscale - Sneak, Pickpocket, Lockpicking, One-Handed and Illusion

    4) A Nord berserker - Smithing, Heavy armour, Two-handed, One-handed, Destruction and Enchanting

     

    So, what do you guys make of these potential builds? Do you have any suggestions for builds I haven't thought of that might make for some awesome adventures? Let me know!

    The Nord Berserk is an excellent idea, but for an even better Berserker character Orcs are the perfect choice. They even have a power called Berserk, which makes them practically unstoppable.

    I would go with either the ranger or the berserker. It really depends on what you think is the most fun to play. I prefer stealth characters, but in Skyrim I'm rolling a few berserker-style characters.
