    I had this game for a week now and i'm really enjoying it so far, coming from the usual affair of JRPG's I found it to be quite refreshing. Anyway given its vast player customisation I'm quite curious to see how other people dress up their "Dovahkiin".

    This is my current Dovahkiin, I went for the glam look lol. I'm pretty rubbish being an archer and spellcaster so I tend to use one handed swords and daggers mainly.

    My newest Skyrim playthrough is a High Elf dagger build.
    Got tired of playing a warrior and im crap with a bow and arrow.

    Might actually be useful in Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood now.
    Will add a nice screenshot once i get a proper armor set.

    I use a redguard currently with Nightingale armor, and an ebony waraxe and shield, or dual daggers. I was a noob so I didn't know redguards were supposed to be, well, red, so he looks more like a black haired nord. My second time will probably be with a high elf mage or something. I'm too lazy and away from my desktop so I can't post pictures. I spy with my little eye a spellbreaker shield. I have one too :)

    Mine looks like the guy with the horned helmet you see in the official Skyrim trailer. After seeing that, I always knew I would model my very first character from it.

    I have two characters that I am playing concurrently (probably not the best idea if I ever want to finish this game lol)

    The first is a Dunmer Pure Mage:


    And the second is an Imperial Thief/dual-wield stealth character:

    Ha ha, it's super effective against the men of Skyrim! I sat in an empty area at an inn then all the men gathered round to where I was and kept staring. Coincidence? I think not...

    Yeah I didn't install the high res pack in and haven't toggled the shadows yet, I should really give some time to address that instead of playing the game for hours!

    EDIT: Modded the SkyrimPrefs.ini file - Fixed! :D

    The character I used, no mods on the game.. He reminds me of Glenn Danzig.

    I started playing as full-destruction, then I realized how terribly inefficient I was with missing all of the fireballs i was spamming, so now I'm a high elf 1h sword/shield with almost maxed conjuring.

    PS - Darkness62: love the Searle quote, didn't know anyone else appreciated that movie as much as I do :D

    Don't recall putting the warband across the eyes, but whatever, haven't played much, want to get in it though. Afraid to since Oblivion sucked me in for hours at a time.

    To create this Dovahkiin (which I called Yuna-Lilly ♥ ;) you'll need:

    - Nexus Mod Manager (makes mods management easier)

    * You'll need to sign up on Skyrim Nexus Mods site to download certain mods.

    In order install:

    - CBBE Female Body Mesh (can be NSFW!)
    - Smooth Faces for Ladies and Gents
    - Envision Face Mod (Overwrite some previous files when prompted)
    - RANs HeadMesh Variants - Type D
    - Pretty Eyes
    - My Type Of Hair Pack [MTOH] (Soya's specifically as one shown in pic)

    Below are the settings I used, as for the mouth the mods should give you a preset one as shown in the image so don't tweak the "Mouth Shape" otherwise you'll lose it and have a plumpier/miserable version (which I don't like myself!).

    I use all the same mods as Hearst except a larger bust and so the men of Skyrim react a bit differently to my character.



    J/K my character is a Kajit nothing fancy at the moment still playing through the game, finally got the ability to forge glass though so will have a full set of glass armor and weapons soon.

    This is my Dragonborn named Caera, a battlemage/dagger using Breton. I'm still working on her, but this is what I have of her so far. I'm just starting off with her. Once I get better robes for her and whatnot, I might update. But for now, this is Caera in all her lovely glory. ^^
