Today marks the much anticipated release of the latest in the Elder Scrolls series: Skyrim. It just so happens today is a holiday for some of us in the US (Veterans Day), so much gaming should be had. Well, probably not by me. I ordered the 360 version and will be waiting for UPS.
Why not Digital Download the PC version? I really just enjoy playing those games on my 360. Plus, when I am at my computer I want to be playing other games. So I have been thinking about what kind of character I will make in Skyrim.
Race. You can toss out all of the Elf races cause that isn't going to happen. Imperial looks like the choice for me, I know... pretty plain choice. But they have a skill bonus I am interested in.
Speaking of skills, in Skyrim you can get them all to 100. The customization comes in the form of Perks, which you only have so many your able to choose.
Heavy Armor. Maybe it is my Dwarven tendencies, but I can't resist Heavy Armor. I think it is usually much more interesting looking than lighter armor, and just plain cooler.
Smithing. If I am going Heavy Armor, then it makes since to have a way to forge the pieces. Hopefully crafting isn't too tedious in the game. Usually it does not interest me much when it comes to single player games.
Conjuration. So this skill (and perks) let you summon creatures and raise the dead. Yeah, that sounds like something I want to do.
So those are 3 main areas I am looking at for Skyrim. I guess that makes me into a Battle Mage. We'll see how it plays out when I finally get my hands on the game.
