what kind of character are you?

i went with wood elf.

i'm boosting sneak, archery, lockpick and pick pocketing.

Dark elf. Going to try and go pure magika build. Headed to the College of Winterhold tonight. I want to do everything there before I continue on with the main quest line.

i did get a tip from someone the inn keeper in riverwood about the dark brotherhood.

that may be my first order of business.

I made a Briton. I'm pouring all my points into conjuration, heavy armor and sneaky stuff... just like my character in Oblivion.

+1 my name is Drogo

Im a dark elf, and my name is "The King".

Is shameless cheater an option?

Nope.

Boo. I glitched the heck outta sneak in Elder Scrolls. Plus enchanted some armor that when worn made me 100% invisible. Saweeet!

I'll definitely be enchanting some invisibility armor.

And I just sneak everywhere I go so it'll go up on its own. Got up to 31 last night sneaking through bleak falls.

Nord. I'm an Archmage and also a boot knocking beast with my scorching great sword. I burn all foes who dare step in my path.

my bow an arrow does something like 800 or 1000 damage (single shot). Plus it does 42 points burning and 42 points freezing damage. I wear 4 enchanted items that fortify archery at 47% each. I can also make a potion that fortifies it by another 140% if I want. Basically 1 arrow kills anything. Takes 3 to kill a dragon, or one if I can shoot an arrow in sneak mode, or drink a potion.

Im level 60 and have maxed archery, smithing, enchanting, alchemy, light armor, sneak, and a couple others I forget.

I can make a potion which boosts my smithing skill to 132%, and boost my enchanting to 32%. If I make a weapon that costs me about 500 gold to make I can make it worth 5-8k. My only problem is no one has enough money to buy things from me. If there is one skill I wish I would put some more effort into it would have been barter. I wasted some upgrades in areas I didnt need before finally narrowing in on my beast.

At this point it doesnt matter thou. Im waiting for some DLC that gives me some kind of challenge.

I spent a lot of time at the college boosting my magic and acquiring items. I've got the archmage robes, archmage's amulet and also have that crazy mask I got from killing that wizard...all things combined it makes my magika generate like 250% faster and adds like 150 points of magika. I'm only level 18 at this point and haven't leveled up on quite a few attributes (sneaking, pick pocket, archery, alchemy, smithing, etc), but I've boosted my Destruction, 2-handed weapons, armor, lock picking, very high so that I'm capable in those areas. Now that I'm done with the college for now, I'm back to dedicating my time to built up everything else and advance the main storyline.

If I was in the middle again I would hav prolonged finishing the story line as much as possible. Im not sure why but having it looming while doing all the side quests etc keeps it more interesting. As soon as I finished the main story everything else kinda feel a little flat. At least do the companions, theifs, and dark brotherhood before finishing.

Yeah i tend to float off on side missions pretty regularly so ill try and keep myself from dedicating all my time advancing the plot too much until im ready to finish.

yep...its over before you know it and in reality probably only makes up about 15% of the game. It just makes the world have a better feel IMO when the main quest is still active.

Keep in mind there are more hours of fun in this game then maybe any game ever so there is no need to rush the main quest. Im at 140 hours with not being able to even start companions because of a glitch, not yet finished thieves guild and not done dawngaurd either.

I haven't run into any bad glitches yet that I know of...knock on wood.
