I just started playing this recently, on pc.
Level 13 so far, dark elf. Not sure what kind of "class/profession" I am, as I've probably really messed up any training so far.
Any suggestions for a total noob?

Don't sweat it. Just have fun and enjoy the ride.
If I recall Dark Elves have the magic regeneration racial ability, so you may want to start up the Illusionist or Conjurer skill trees. This will allow you to keep your weapon skills up while making better use of your MP.

-shrug- I always went Nord for the rp aspect + SnB, Wood elf for the sneaky character, and Brenton for my caster just long enough to realize how poorly casters scale in Skyrim.
God DAMN! This game is an evil demon, and it's taken possession of my heart and soul.
Haven't touched or thought about the game for a million hours (okay, more like minutes), but then the other night, as I was ready to go to bed, I suddenly had an urge to play Skyrim again. What the hell, man?! Time to sink another week of lifetime into this thing.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
I've shelved Skyrim until I have a PC that can handle it. I just feel like there's no good reason to keep dumping hours into it without the ability to mod, since I'll probably just buy the PC version some day.
Right now my PS3 is a glorified Netflix box. Not because there aren't good games for it, but just because gaming from my laptop is so much easier/cheaper. I can take it with me anywhere, I don't need to keep track of any discs (and have cloud storage so that's not an issue), games are cheap are comparatively cheap when not on sale, and super cheap when they are...
Tbh, I don't play games enough anymore to warrant any machines whose sole purpose is playing games.

Lol, I still play them. My constantly expanding Steam library is proof of that... But I'm also trying to diversify my free time and spend more time with friends, since most of us are still living at home while we save money post-graduation.

I used to diversify my free time and spend more with friends and family, but then I didn't finish this meme.

Hopefully this means they'll be working on Fallout 4.

So now they can release Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Gold Edition: Game of the Year Deluxe Unlimited.

Is that the one they introduce the school girl martial artist that has a similar skillset as the main protagonists?

I'm resurrecting this thread, but instead of my own original post I'll just quote the Master:
Once again, I started my upteenth character (500+ hours according to Steam) with the thought that I'd do something different. I'm now in the early 30s and . . . sneaky thievy sniper again.
So last night I found myself suddenly slamming the palm of my hand on my desk and saying, "NO! This time was going to be different!" and I started another character - a mage. But(!), she's a High Elf so I don't have all the sneak/steal/snipe bonuses. Genius, right?!?
O.K., so now I have a level 9 mage that sneaks everywhere and snipes people, but when they don't die (because archery is so low) I polish them off with fire and lightning. This isn't working out like I had imagined. On the plus side, the mage college quest line is new and different for me.
Anyone else still playing this game, and if so do you do anything special to make it interesting? Like, go archer but never use anything higher level than a hunting bow? Or, follow Cicero around and kill anyone you see speak with him? Or, drag the corpse of everyone you kill back to Whiterun and pile the bodies up in front of Jarl Badass?

Necro Warning: This post occurred more than thirty days after the prior, and may be a necropost.
Play an Orc or a Breton, the urge to be sneaky will pass and you'll be two handing with the best of them. Don't forget to only use Heavy Armor.

I keep meaning to go back and play more, lol.
I have this idea that I might just buy a new rig and sink the rest of my life into it...

That's the trouble with mages they become stealthy-mages too easy. You have a mana pool high enough you can just skip over the illusion perks, and you may not have the bonuses for sneak attacks, but creeping up and filling a room with giant fireballs seems pretty effective. At least, that's what I did with this character up until the mid thirties when I got bored and needed something different, yet again...
Anyway for me? I modded the living #$%* out of the game, and it's renewed my interest. Scenery looks better, characters looks better, there's new quests and new companions, etc. It probably helps I've never actually finished the game, so there's still plenty for me to explore even without expansions and new content.
This character is still alive still, and I'm doing the civil war from the imperial side for the first time. Sword + board in heavy armor with some weaker magic for pulling; or slaughtering goats as the case was in the pic (must get leather from everywhere!
). I'm also seriously raising smithing for the first time; is fun with new armor models to see. I'm also half-heartedly playing another on the side, something where I'm going to try and take the minimum amount of perks needed to kill stuff and invest the rest in stuff like crafting and speech and other non-lethal skills. No decent pics of that one yet, just started doing the bard quests. I'm actually hopeful I'll beat the game here soon. I'm slowly running out of character combinations I haven't tried yet, and I've more or less given up on the whole "melee-range-robe-wearing" character, as that doesn't seem to go well for me once I get up in levels and meet someone with a giant warhammer. Blocking is nice, but it isn't that nice.
Good times in a game with a lot of potential tangents, hidden amongst a few quests I do way too much. Which reminds me, I need to finish the Agent of Mara thing yet again for my newbie bard.
