    The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races.

    @PixelPrinny: I guess I could have answered a bit more elaborate, it did come off as a little dickish. As long as you pick the race that suits you the most you've made the right choice. But there were (and are) probably a lot of players who chose Nord as it was the default and not because it resonated with them. Cool armor, light dragonsscale? Do you mostly use the bow?

    @Ertard: Ah, should have seen that.. yeah, I recognized the hood.

    @fetchfox: My primary character in Oblivion was a Nord too, and I was super-stoked when they confirmed Skyrim as the setting because I dig the Nord vibe.

    @BottleShip: I did what you've got there.

    My next character is going to be a spin on another of my Oblivion characters, Rhanjiit the brawling thief-assassin catman. Here was the look in Oblivion (many mods in place here), wonder if I can get an eyepatch in Skyrim...

    Tiger lady, archer, wizard, rogue, thief, assassin, tank, and most importantly, bard. Skyrim is awesome.

    My first character is a Nord because I'm roleplaying a warrior returning home and unhappy with the Thalmor in my land. Joining the Storm Cloaks makes sense as Nord as does supporting Talos.

    Can't wait to play as a High Elf Mage and a Khajiit thief/assassin.

    Yeppers, light dragonscale and I use a bow 100% of the time :D At early levels I switched to a sword and shield when enemies got in my face, but at this point in the game enemies very seldom get close to me, and when they do, they drop from a quick arrow or two while my companion is there to melee them and soak up damage if necessary.

    It looks real cool, looking forward to getting that high myself (only lvl 23 at the moment with smithing at 74) though I will probably go with the daedric armor instead. But, on topic, me at the moment (will be switching armor soon).

    I would post my character, but as she is a Nord, it seems pretty pointless. Reason why I am rolling a Nord right now is because on every Elder Scrolls game, my first character is always the native race of the region. Dark Elf for Morrowind, Imperial for Oblivion, now Nord for Skyrim.

    Here is my character after finishing the Main Quest line. He is a level 37 Nord (a dual wielder with heavy armor). This is the point at which I decided to stop playing the game since I decided to wait for the expansion to come out.

    @FlamingHobo: There are plentyof places but the easiest i've found is either the daedric shrine or the shady dealer in winterhold college. Both restock after a few days and you dont need that many.

    This is Brandon, Imperial battle-mage at level 10. Still pretty early in the game. What's really neat is that quiver on his back. He doesn't even own arrows, yet he has them on his back. Wild!

    @AndrewBeardsley: Daedric armor. You need 90 in smithing, leather strips and one daedra heart per piece. See BoOzak's post info on where to get them, or try yourself. They are quite rare though.

    Diablo - Nord - 2H Warrior: He was my first character and after about 20 hours I got bored of him not to mention that the werewolf shit glitched on me

    Sabre - Khajiit - Master Thief / Ranger: Sabre is my first attempt at a their character in TES. He is also my first khajiit since I usually go with the standard race and warrior class. I have to say that the thief is definitely my new favorite class to play and I absolutely love the khajiit. Way more fun than Diablo. The only thing is that I level really fast just by pickpocketing everyone, sneaking around, and picking every lock.

    I got a number Daedra hearts in the Azura's Star quest, I won't discuss the specifics for fear of spoiling, but Azura's shrine will be marked on your map eventually by an NPC. If you do that quest in the way that results in restoration/repair, you will fight a dude who summons Dremora (for me they were Kynvals, your level may factor there), so make sure to loot them while you can, and don't just use them in a potion or something.
