When in doubt, make a thread, so here it goes. Here's a thread for us to sperg about our skills and how I can take a dragon down in less hits than you loser. So, Share your Skyrim characters! Here's my level 30 dude, I like to think he's the same as Finn from Adventure Time, Light Armor, two-handed. I crafted a full set of legendary Dragonscale Light Armor and legendary Daedric Warhammer & Bow. I need to get my enchanting skill up before I enchant anything at the moment though.   Your turn. e: I can take down a dragon on Expert in 9 hits

 This is something like four hours into the game. My game likes to crash when I take screenshots for whatever reason, so I haven't taken a whole lot. I named her Daenerys Targaryen.

 So far I've only invested in archery (89) and sneaking (68), so if a dragon isn't aware of my presence (and he won't) I can take him down in 5-8 shots. Met a blood dragon, that guy took about twenty arrows or so.

Apologies for the low quality, can only play this game at minimum, I'm afraid. Haven't even touched the Main Quest, escaped from the Dragon, sided with the blonde kickass dude from the StormCloaks, went to the village with him, got a quest, proceeded to tell them to gently caress off and went to explore. This kickass dude is at level 8 and I'm building him off to be a master of all trades, but have all perks on Speech, Lockpicking, Pickpocketing, Sneak and a One-Handed combat so he can dish some damage with his dagger. Basically following the same pattern I have followed for Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion, Argonian Thief that steals from everyone. I named him SGRaaize

My Avril Lavigne stunt double (accidental). Highly inappropriate clothing, both for climate and battle. Somehow, this scantily clad fair maiden is still single despite wearing the "marry me pleeeease" necklace for months. Somewhere around level 11, almost all points invested in archery. The "slow down time while zoomed" feature is almost VATS-level cheating, btw. Favourite arrow moment - shooting the companion trainer in both ears from the front during the initial combat trial. Perfectly symmetrical. Nordic Nationalist aligned with the Stormcloaks. Besides shouting and restoration, no magic for this traditional stealthy warrior. An arrow through the eyeball/back of neck usually ends the fight before it begins, but her two-handed skills are strong enough to take down anything that gets close. Generally harmless to well-meaning people, but will kill anyone who insults her or impedes Nordic independence (e.g. Markath currently has no leader). Will post an updated shot of her gear if/when I remember.

Meet Davinci, the Khajit Thief and Master Archer. Shut up, he's named after my cat.  Yes, that is the mask of Krosis. Archery, Lockpicking and Alchemy 20% better. Robzilla fucked around with this message at Nov 17, 2011 around 19:54 |

Level 20 Wood Elf sneaky sneak sneak bow sniper/ one handed melee with no magic ability whatsoever. I've been pretty much just working up the Archery and Sneak trees and recently joined the Imperial Legion   Level 30 now. Backstab is a powerful drug. Once I get my enchanting up I'll probably get some more roleplaying worthy dressup outfit. commissargribb fucked around with this message at Nov 19, 2011 around 19:15 |

Awww yeah.  And obligatory pic of my guy before I sold my soul for a set of red and black anime armor.  I think the Dwarven set is my favorite armor in the game, looks so rad. Unfortunately those drat masks are way too good to not use. I've put perks into One Handed Weapons, Destruction, Conjuring, Heavy Armor and Smithing. Conjuring is really drat good, especially the Dremora Lord summon, I bring him out to tank tough stuff while I run around behind it and kill it with the Elemental Fury shout. Even the Dragon Priests aren't too much trouble doing that. Zahki fucked around with this message at Nov 16, 2011 around 14:17 |

 Hangin' out with my subservient Dark Brotherhood Assassin. I started the game thinking i'd be a one handed weapon/one hand magic battlemage. I ended being a sneaky archer/one handed sword using light armor wearer who occasionally swaps to dualcasted Fireballs to stun an entire group of enemies (while accidently killing my companion, hence using an expendable one) and who swaps to a dagger to 15x backstab people. Level 41 with 46 dungeons cleared and way too many hours played for such a short time period. I wonder how many i've got left.

Haven't got a picture handy right now, but I find that if you don't mind playing on very easy then you can get away with wearing whatever you want, no matter the stats. That's why my own barbarian Nord still uses an ancient Nord sword and wears plain steel armour and the iron helmet from the promos. Quality? No. Style? Yesss.

How did you manage to get the mask to show up on your dark brotherhood helm? I've gotten every one I can find, and even the one that shows the mask in the inventory graphic does not display a mask when I wear it!

leidend posted:My Avril Lavigne stunt double (accidental). Oh hey, we're from the same clan: lovely console iphone clan Nord Bow Savage Dudes!  I'd post my Imperial guy, but his save is kind of in the middle of a quest where things are trying to kill him. I restarted a lot to get my Nord looking just the way I wanted. Also, I touched upon this in the old thread, but there are certain presets that have features you can't recreate, and as such you have to use that particular face as a base if you want the unique thing it has. It's an incredibly small thing that a lot of character generators with presets tend to do, but it's kind of nice to know your particular person has something completely unique to it. My Imperial guy has a set of slit-like eyes that I'll try and show later.

Decided to get a certain character concept out of the way: Sylvia Managan, impossible black cat (mind the puns) descendent of the Managan line, continuing her family's proud tradition of immigration, being broke, and eyeing up liquor she can't possibly afford. Going to see how long I can get by running rather than fighting and avoiding anything that sounds too dangerous or quest-y. Total kills after a few hours' exploration: Zero. Total profit: 13 gold. Total drinks stolen: none so far, but it's getting tempting. I wasn't going to do it but then I heard of a certain drinking-with-consequences quest in one of the taverns which put me over the top. I can only imagine how many Prequel fans have already done this idea.

 Been playing an argonian battle mage, which is my preferred class in this series. Mainly specialize in summoning atronachs and decapitating people with an axe of paralysis. Pretty drat fun. Can't wait til I get 100 conjuration so I cane have a flame and frost atronach fighting for me at the same time. Though for as fun as this is, I also want to start an unarmed character. To bad I can never juggle multiple saves at once. Bonus shot of where the majority of my deaths come from;  If there is a cliff, I have probably accidentally fallen off it.

I am going to make a character that uses the unarmed fighting perk and the bonus unarmed enchantment. I can't figure out who I wanna base my character on though. My current ideas- Balrog, Jason Statham, Porter (Mel Gibson in Payback), Sherlock Holmes RDjr version, or Kimbo Slice.

Is your character named Blackbeard?  Anyway HERE'S MY DUDE  Found the helmet and sword in Labyrinthian. 40% fire resist and fire damage per strike respectively.

 Playing the game as a vengeful ex-Telvanni battlemage, and so far so good. Running around with the Mace of Molag Bal, enchanting everything I can find, and generally grinding up until I hit that magical point where I can dual enchant all of my gear to get -100% cost on Destruction magic. It'll be beautiful.

 Playing a Nordic abuse victim and hater of Imperials. Came to Skyrim and joined the civil war to get revenge on an Empire that scorned her and has no qualms about murder. Dragonscale armor, Helm of the Old Gods, and the Blade of Woe. Yep.

Just so you know, once the Skyforge gets upgraded/you complete the Companions' quest line, you can pump out Nord Hero weapons which look the same as Ancient Nord stuff but actually have good stats. Edit: It's slightly better than Orc but slightly worse than Glass. It takes an Ancient Nord Greatsword, Steel Ingots and Leather strips to make. It upgrades with Steel Ingots.

 This is an Imperial Paladin. I like maces as a weapon in general, but they're pretty stupid slow. Also, I like what they did with this armor; pretty suitable for this character and it works quite well. This is his favorite ring.  Helps him get the ladies. And carry those stupid dragon bones.  I got lucky once and had him bash a dragon's skull in with a cool animation. Shame it was at night.
