I see a few of them as good such as alignment outlook and race but isn't it more fun for us to watch Trump do what he thinks is best. If he gets into a battle and thinks ranged combat would be best then go for it. If he just wants to get up close and personal or feels like a stealth attack then just go for it. Im not too much a fan on the idea as going into exactly how he should play the game. They're shouldn't be an obligation to do a certain thing. I dunno just my opinion, still going to be great fun watching trump play ! Any "style" is effective. I am indifferent to any of them. So putting it to a poll is fun! Yay! | ||

They're mostly just for general trends and ideas for the overall feel of the character. I'm also going to be playing a shit ton that weekend, and prolly won't even open up the internet once for days....but I will be sure to watch all the vods of you playing after I've gotten my initial fix in for myself. I hope our two adventures are completely different! | ||

Poll Ends: November 5, 7 PM PST This one is pretty self explanatory. Combat has been decided will be started by sneaking around. Will Trump walk up to to the monster and stab it in the back, or fire a shot off from the shadows? Poll: What sort of Sneak Attack to start combat? Stab at Melee Range (59) Shoot at range with Bow (52) 111 total votes Your vote: What sort of Sneak Attack to start combat? | ||

I probably won't be around to "close" the poll at 7 PM on this one so it will likely go on for a little past that. It could go either way. :o To give a bit more informative voting, there are two main differences between sneak/stab and sneak/shoot. The stab does more damage but is obviously more dangerous. In Skyrim, there's an mid-game sneak perk for 15x damage sneak attack with a dagger. Shooting with bows has been buffed quite a bit. You do more damage by "drawing the bow" longer. Plus, time slows down on zoom in some perks. Depending on the style of combat (bow/stab), I will put a (limited) choice of races which tend to be stronger in stealthy play. | ||

Now...time for a bit of a weird turn. We talk about magic, we talk about skills a bit. Fifth Poll: Use of Magic Poll Ends: November 8, 7 PM PST This next poll deals with magic. Magic is vast and various. There are five main schools of magic. Magic can: Deal Damage, Buff, Debuff, Heal, Cure, Summon, Trap, Charm, and a variety of other things. You might have thought that given that the character starts combat by sneaking and stabbing, this would be easy. A stealth based "thief/assassin" type character! ezpz right? But here, there's the opportunity to see how much magic the thief/assassin will use, and perhaps even...make a...stealthy mage? what? NO MAGIC The first is a purely physical character with no (casted) magic. Magic isn't essential. This would be your traditional stealthy character wielding two daggers, perhaps enchanted, and sneaking up behind monsters and just stabbing them to death directly. As a best guess, this would look something like this setup... ![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Luckay/nomagic.jpg) SOME MAGIC The second is a sneaky character aided with magic. With magic, the sneaky character could sneak easier with invisibility spells. He could opportunistically buff himself or debuff enemies. Certainly, the addition of some magic would also weaken the "core" of the character as a stealth character. The flexibility of magic as well as potential strengths from it such as enchanting the dagger, paralyzing creatures if your first shot doesn't kill them, etc could be interesting. ![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Luckay/somemagic.jpg) LOTS OF MAGIC The third is a mage. This gets into unusual territory since combat is started by sneaking up to something and stabbing them. This would mean that first stab would be enchanted as much as possible, and then the dagger would be put away to cast spells from close range. Not a very common type of character I'm sure, but that's the beauty of no set classes. ![[image loading]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/Luckay/highmagic-1.jpg) Poll: How much magic should Trump use? Some Magic (52) Lots of Magic (23) No Magic (19) 94 total votes Your vote: How much magic should Trump use? | ||

unless they've completely reworked some of the core gameplay concepts, you're not gonna get very far without enchanting and soul trap, man | ||

Yes, "no magic" means no soul trap / no enchanting actually. I think it's pretty obvious that enchanting is not a must to "get far." I would participate in the other two "crafting skills" without magic - armoring and alchemy. | ||

Poll Closes Thursday, 7 PM PST. What race will Trump play? Even though each race does have a specialty in skillset (which is why I made the race selection final, since everyone could see which skills I would focus on), that doesn't mean that the race which is "good" at those skills has to be chosen. To remind, here is the Trump character: Trump is a Chaotic Good Rogue who also dabbles in a bit of magic. He doesn't constantly break the law, but doesn't see much value in it. His conscience is his own guide. Trump focuses on making sure everybody has their individual rights and freedoms respected and will help those who ask for it as he tries to make the world a better place in his own views. His combat style is to initially sneak up to approach an enemy and stab it with a magically enhanced dagger. This is followed by a bit of debuffing spells in order to weaken the monster in order to fight it. His primary skills are: Sneak, Light Armor, One-Handed, Lockpicking, Alchemy, Enchanting, and Smithing. His secondary skills are: All magical skills, Pickpocket, Speech. Sometimes, you just gotta choose a certain race because that race is...cool! For the "statistics" behind each race though, here's a cool graph and here's a link to the powers and bonuses of these races. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Races ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/SQ5on.jpg) Poll: What race will Trump be? Dunmer (Dark Elf) (122) Khajiit (Cat) (111) Argonian (Reptile) (25) Nord (Human) (13) Bosmer (Wood Elf) (9) Breton (Human) (8) Imperial (Human) (8) Orsimer (Orc) (7) Altmer (High Elf) (5) Redguard (Human) (3) 311 total votes Your vote: What race will Trump be? (Vote): Altmer (High Elf) | ||

+ Show Spoiler [minor spoiler] + Stormcloaks over Empire? + Show Spoiler [what it is] + the equivalent of NCR vs Caesar in FONV, except it's a lawful vs chaotic choice from what it sounds like, there's really no details yet since it's later in the game Anyway, plan on watching this after my own playthrough since I can't run the PC version and want to see the awesome graphics. | ||

I've actually kept myself pretty unspoiled and I don't even really understand that is, but one can assume that I'll make the choices according to an "internal conscience" to whatever path will do the greatest good for "the people." laws be damned. | ||

But other polls have proven that the leader doesn't stay the leader very often! At this time tomorrow, I'll likely have installed Skyrim and be excitedly asleep to wake up streaming it in the morning. 15 hours to poll close. 22 hours to midnight purchase of skyrim! 31 hours until I start streaming skyrim and I'm sure many other gamers will have already started their marathon as well.  | ||
