at the start of the game their are many different characters to choose from. the orc, redguard, nord are good for fighters, the breton, dark elf. high elf are good for magic and kajiit,argonian and wood elf are good for stealth.

yeah I think brenton make perfect mages because of their magic resistance and magic boost. Plus they don't look [Censored].

Dont forget Imperial! ARE LIKE THE WORST RACE???

ok bailj.. if you have the game, it should come with a book including all the characters, i dont think you needed to post it

But bretons are loosers. Yes the best mages, but I would never use one EVER.

For mages, Bretons are the lesser of two evils when compared with, say Altmer.

i wouldnt criticise someone for asking this topic - i bought the game and got the book - but it still took me ages to get a charector i was happy with

theres so much to do that i needed a marksman, sneaky, heavy armour, with mage abilities for when i got bored of sniping - took me bloody ages!

anyway - isnt this a forum for asking questions and advice on the game?

Indeed it is. Ideally, one would check out this make a character build, ask what people think of it, but bearing in mind a character is a personal thing, and make changes if they feel it appropriate.

im going straight up hard as nails gladiator on the next play through i think

havent really used swords and axes etc at all yet - starting to get jealous of all the decent weaponry i keep finding.

does anyone know if theyre are any special bows in the game? magical ones if possible would be brilliant?

I think you can with the Dark Brotherhood.

hope so

or maybe do something with the arrows? would be nice to have flaming / poison / ice arrows for extra damage

I believe you get a fire bow with the DB, but don't quote me on that. I think, then between quests or dungeon crawling you can get arrows with other enchantments, and the two effects get whoever the target is. Careful not to use it on something thats immune to one of them though.

nice one

ive done all the mages guild quests too - so i should bother to learn how to enchant weapons

i what to enchant he armour with feather to excrease my capacity which is shockingly low..........

Have you completed the thieves guild quests?

no - about half way through i reckon

probably done 5 missions since meeting the guy at midnight near the fountain
