Staff BigBizkit Posted April 14, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 14, 2015 I was wondering what archetype is generally preferred. What I mean by "archetype" is are your characters generally mages, sword and board chars, or rangers (bow) or something else? I am asking because I find myself always enjoying my sort of assassin/thieves-like characters best (in Skyrim and Morrowind). I do play mages, rangers etc., I have played every possible build and customized each build heavily with nexus mods and mods I made just for that particular character. Still I find myself getting the most enjoyment out of the assassins. So, do you have a particular build you enjoy most? If so why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatline115 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Mage. I usually play altmer as a thalmor agent (thus not doing the main quest). Why mage? I do not know, swords seems stupid, I dislike archery and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avallanche Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Death Knight / Dark Knight. Nothing like debuffing everyone that reaches you with some cool frost defensive spells and then smash their heads with a big 2h weapon. heheheResurrect the fool to serve as your minion is just an extra bonus. xD Edited April 14, 2015 by avallanche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcooley Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Anything that doesn't involve melee combat. Archer, destruction mage, conjuration mage, illusion mage or some combination of the above. Stealth is usually, but not always, important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanesGhost Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A lone stealthy, Light Armored Ambusher/Traps Setter, Poisons Archer, including using the Bow in Melee...Bow Bash and Stealth Roll are awesome for Melee :happy: ...I like having to rely heavily on tactics and strategy, always gotta have a plan with a lone squishy when playing perma-death and using Mods that up the AI Combat and add many more hostile NPC's...always having to think ahead, carefully scope out situations, check numbers, make plans of attack, etc...

notmyhome Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sneaky Archer. Also any playstyle that gives me a reason to compulsively pluck any flower, harvest any pelt and learn any enchantment I come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vram1974 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Sneak/archer here too. I've tried dozens of times to play a mage but I just can't understand how to do it, I find it too frustrating and I never get very high in levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkiharFiend Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm always an evil mage lol... I just don't really enjoy warrior type characters...I can do it for a while but I get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
