HELP

Please help me pick a character! I know there is an interesting character thread but there are too many to choose from.

I would be so grateful for one or two suggestions. I would ideally like a magicka based character, maybe a good one or nasty at count level.

I would also be greatful for a short to middle goal just so I can get started.

Thankyou in advance

Andy

Orsinium is a fun start. As a short to middle goal, you have "survive against the Bretons trying to destroy you" and "Become large enough so that Wayrest thinks twice about carving into your mountains".

Maybe I just got lucky, but my ruler was an orc bard when I started (that always goes well). Maybe it's random, maybe it's not, but you do have several spell options with that.

I think most if not all rulers have their traits randomly generated when you start.

If you want magic, choose Abnur Tharn. He is duke of Cheydinhal in 3370 and king of Nibenay in 3461. In 3461 he is also immortal so he's got that going for him, which is nice.
