Unique Classes and Playstyles

[BucMan55]

Depending on how broad you want to make the strokes:

 

You have 1 class: Hero or Dovahkin

 

Then break it down into : Battlemage, Ranger, Warrior, Rogue, Mage

 

Where you take it further from that is just a matter of semantics and how much imagination you can put into a computer game.

I don't think it's anything unique or uncommon, but I am playing a female Breton cleric archetype.

 

I plan o maximizing light armor tree, restoration, and divide the third between smithing and enchanting. She's pure support supporting my companions. So far it's been working fine, and I use the Deadly Dragon mod and play on Expert, so that should speak something. Basically, I am my companion's healer, and fit in a weapon swing or two when I am not defending myself with wards against hostile spells or blocking enemies trying to kill me while I keep Lydia up fighting for me.

 

The reason I didn't go heavy armor is more RP'ish, since she's petite and physically not too strong I can't see her being all bulky inside a heavy armor. So yeah, this is a fun change from the usual killer char if you enjoy playing support/healer types.

The only unique styles I can can think of are pacifist, brawler/monk (no magic no armour no weapons just fists). if you used one of the mods to upgrade shouts it might be interesting to use a Dovah Dovakiin (ony shouts for combat) Skyrim sadly isn't vegas and you are definately railroaded into combat.

I've got 2 fairly unique builds I've played. Here's one: The Poison Master

Another would be my Littermage:

What we need is the old way to create classes and crap, not this jack of all trades thing Skyrim has, i miss the old way :/

Those arent unique really. A dual wielding light armored axe wielder that only uses enchantments for healing now thats unique.

 

Its called a Bloody Berserker. I highly recommend enchantment healing as it doesnt break up the action. No need for menus unless your gathering.

Funny, but me thinks those are common, too!

Ive tried a merchant illusionist.

If you become a vampire and duel cast with reductions in illusion casting it becomes quite boring though just calming, making people flee and making them kill each other.

So I took Speech, illusion, restoration and pickpocket but thats about it

Ah, but I'm liking this. It's better for how I imagine things. Why shouldn't a character be able to pick up a bow just because they use magic? Skyrim allows it but with a nice leveling aspect, so that using a bow won't do much until after you practice with it.

 

You still only get good at the things you practice a lot with.
