    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Skyrim!

I've played several characters. I actually prefer playing as a Dark Brotherhood/Thieves Guild combo type player, focusing highly on sneaking up and shooting them either from a distance with a bow or just using my daggers to kill them. I have a preference for ranged anyway. I also have a mage somewhere and a Nord warrior.

I also, with the exception of one character which is an Imperial male, have played exclusively as women. I don't like playing as a guy.

Oh yes! Sneaking and Dark Brotherhood stuff is pretty much the best you can do :D
Maybe it's just because I'm rather fond of killing, or maybe it's the fact that the Brotherhood seems a lot warmer and more family-like than most of the 'good guy' factions (i.e. fuck you Companions), dunno.

And yeah, Illusion is wonderful! I got my skooma-addicted nord's Illusion to 100, and it's pretty goddamn fun confusing everyone. As a plus, it's easier to run away from those adorable mudcrabbies when you can just calm them down C:

Pickpocketing clothes is also really hilarious, but I'm kinda wondering whether the people ever manage to put their clothes on? It's starting to seem like they just love prancing around half-naked even if you reverse pickpocket their clothes back to them. :P




Does anyone else feel that creating new, different characters is insanely addictive? I have like closer to 20 unique characters by now, eheh. :U There's just something really fascinating making someone new and trying out some new playstyles and I just can't stop.

While I'm still not buying it because I don't have a better computer yet, I want to ask whether it's better to play any previous Elder Scrolls game first?

Judging by the massive popularity of Skyrim I'd guess no, but I just thought I'd ask anyway?

It's not really needed, but there are lots of little things that someone might not get if they don't have at least some familiarity with the series.

It's pretty much a stand-alone game. You'll miss out on a lot of references to past titles, but nothing important. If anything, I'd say Skyrim is probably the easiest of the Elder Scrolls games for newcomers to get into.
 
Actually, I think it might be more fun for a newcomer.

As it is, most of the games follow a similar-ish formula, especially quest wise. I mean, they are all different, but they are the same general idea. You have your main quest, then guild/group quests, your daedric quests, and side quests.

But to be a new person it might be neat to meet a certain daedric prince for the first time, or what have you. Just as cool as it was to see them as familiar faces.
