EPTI'd like advice on characters classes though. I'm only about 4 hours in so I'm considering switching if there is a nice benefit. I chose Cat People because they looked hilariously awesome. Through my couple hours of playing, I really enjoyed 1hand combat + spells mixed in so something like a combat/mage hybrid. Does it suck to make hybrid characters? So noobie to these type of games but I am so excited to continue playing tonight.

Thats how i did it! I usually run out of mana so potions would have helped too I guess... But I only have so little to take (300 weight is way to less) | ||

I got mine to about 15 at which point I realized that the stealth aspects of the class don't work particularly well and you get shafted for fighting multiple mobs at once and on boss fights (considering stealth doesn't even work in those scenarios and you need light armor for stealth to work at all). After rerolling a 2 hand axe/heavy armor focused character I absolutely destroy everything in one or 2 swings on the default difficulty, definitely went ahead and put it on masters. Also I get this feeling that by the timer you reach higher levels you will basically be a heavily hybridized character anyways. There simply aren't that many talents to choose for each specialization so it encourages exploration. | ||

There simply aren't that many talents to choose for each specialization so it encourages exploration. This is almost completely untrue. I've been playing a thief type character on Master difficulty for like 17 hours now and I'm level 26. If you're having trouble with multiple mobs, it means you need to utilize all options available to you as a stealth class. You can pull groups separately like in many RPGs and destroy them 1 by 1. Not to mention you can do multiple stealth crits with a bow. You can be far enough away from a target that they won't detect you even if you get hit by them once or multiple times. Another reason thief is awesome - run into a difficult humanoid fight? Steal all his shit. Now he has to fight you while he's naked. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + In Whiterun I was approached by some redguards that were looking for a redguard women but weren't allowed into the city by the guards. They asked me to look for. I've looked everywhere and I've only found one redguard and it won't bring up a dialogue box when I speak to her. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + For people who did the quest, what happens if you side with the assassins after you go search for them to kill their leader? I ended up killing the entire mob of Redguard warriors and returning to the Redguard woman for my bounty rather than siding with the assassins to rat out the woman. | ||
