So, this game is pretty big news. Just wondering what the folks here are doing in the land of Skyrim. How do you play with no Class? What do you think of Dragons? What's your favorite Voice?
Personally, I'm running 3 folks right now. First up is a True Mage, a Wizened old Imperial spewing Lightning from each hand and chugging Potions like a Boss. Then I've got my Battlemage, trusty Nuva of High Rock, who's been with me since Morrowind, with Axe and Spell and armour of Steel. And last of all (for now, at least) is my new Argonian girl Breaks-Through-Walls, a veritable Dervish of damge with dual Maces and Fists of Steel.
Is anyone else incredibly happy that they've finally coded it so you can have Gautlets increase unarmed damage?
It's a sad thing when your paraphrase is longer than the original quote.

Option 9: I don't play at all.
I would, however, be pleased at gauntlet modifiers being counted in unarmed combat, presuming you're wearing them. To do otherwise is just wrong.
edit: How do I play with no class? Um, well, I try to have class, but sometimes my social skills just aren't up to it.

| Anvildude wrote on Mon, 14 November 2011 23:17 | Illusion, huh? I generally have more of a problem with Conjuration, as that's my basic 'start the fight off right' spell type- summon a familiar or atronach to watch my back- I don't level Destruction or others as much due to going sword-and-board (or axe, rather) in actual combat. Open with Ze Magicks, close with the blade.
Which spells you using the most?

Right now, Sparks and Summon Fire Atronach. If you're going to rock magic, you really need those 'half magicka to cast' perks.
Illusion I'm having problems with because it's hard finding spells for it. At least, I've found that to be the case. But I want to level it up to get the Silent Casting perk.
I have a mix of weapons, Destruction Spell in left hand + sword in right default. Bow and arrow for sneaking. Spells in both hands for going all out DPS.
The statement in my signature is false.

OK, this is really making me want to play the game, if only I wasn't positive that my computer wouldn't be able to handle it and I could actually afford to get a new game right now...

Sneak and bow for when I can get away with it... (which is most of the time to be honest)
Sword, board and magic when I can't...
Something oddly satisfying about sniping an entire camp of bandits from the other side of a valley... Mwahahahahahahahaaaa

Just finished mastering smithing this afternoon so I have a lovely legendary set of Glass armour to stroll around in. 
Generally for combat I summon a fire atronach at the start then wade in with the sword and board while my wizard companion and elemental provide long range support.

I'm really enjoying it. The first weekend after it came out (Fri-Sun) I put 29 hours into it  . I'm running combat, with greatswords and heavy armor. Only need 2 more pieces of Daedric armor to complete my set! I got the blacksmithing perks up to Daedra, and I'm currently working on enchanting. It's a real pain to level up, as each time I want to enchant a trash item, I have to select all 3 components by hand. On the other hand, soul gems aren't a problem as I enchanted an Orcish greatsword so that it automatically steals souls.
My weapon for when things get dangerous is a Daedric greatsword enchanted with fire damage. Also, it is enhance to (Legendary) rank, and because of my blacksmithing perks, that adds a ton of damage.
So far, my favorite Shout is Become Ethereal. It lets me run up to spellcasters without getting bombarded by heavy damage spells. I plan on trying wards, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. In fact, Become Ethereal was the only reason I could complete the Azura's star quest, as there are several powerful Daedra towards the end. Also, I got a few Daedra hearts from them, which I used to forge some equipment.
