IshTing Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 This may have been covered before but I'm posting this from my phone and search won't work. I'm new to TES games but have played many RPG games before. I don't like making mistakes with builds and always enjoy being the character which is most fun. In most games warrior type characters are boring and was wondering whether this is the case in skyrim. I wanted to make a mage type character but after looking on YouTube at them they also seem quite slow and the spells seem small, like small balls of fire being shot from the hands. I want to use a build that will keep me entertained so any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farem Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I think the best advice to give you in order to not make any mistakes for your first character, would be to focus on a certain set of skills. Don't spread yourself thin. My first character is a Sword and Shield, Heavy Armor wearing Warrior with smithing. That's it. He is currently lvl 35 and I can kill Frost Dragons without having to worry about my health. So he's a bit OPed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteed1985 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Na casting is fast paced and anything but boring. Warrior kinda is and thats why I went rogue type and sneaking. Really though they are all pretty good in my opinion. The people who say mages suck just don't know what they are doing cause they are so powerful its insane.

sarnz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 RIght now I'm doing a 2 hand warrior... pretty awesome since the insta-kill animations happen a lot since you do so much damage, especially when enemies are lower health. I had a kill shot on a dragon and it looked sick. And my guy is only level 8 right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farem Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Skyrim Perk PlannerWoah woah woah, why is archery under Warrior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteed1985 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Skyrim Perk PlannerWoah woah woah, why is archery under Warrior? Theres 18 and 6 in each and they decided warriors should have all the weapon trees since none in the mage or thief parts match warrior better than archery did?

Eebowai Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) this is my first Elder scrolls game aswell. but i knew that i have always like rogue / stealthy characters. i chose the thief stone and have been leveling: Sneak, archery, one handed weapons, light armour, and a little in speak. the way i play is really working for me.. i basically walk around with a bow in sneak mode.. i shoot at an enemy and nearly always get a 1 shot kill. if they start searching for me and head my way i roll out the way to a new area and shoot.. roll away and shoot. but then i also enjoy my daggers and swords.. my daggers do 15x damage and now i have a dagger that has a small chance to instantly kill and armour that does double damage to my backstab so i now get 30x damage on my 20 hit dagger. dragons i usually run to cover and shoot arrows from covers and shout at them if they land i get to their side and dagger punch them or sword punch them. the only magic i use is the healing one. my sneak is high enough that if im in the shadows and an enemy stands right next to me a lot of the time they can't see me. i was going to go mage 'cos they seem to have a lot of variety. but being my first TES game i dediced not to. i will probably do a 2nd play through with mage and imperial and all the other sides i didnt go on this one.
