There was an interesting post on the Bethesda Softworks forum Sunday afternoon by Sammuthegreat that detailed a lot of information about the upcoming classes you can choose from in Skyrim. There have been a lot of gamers waiting for this kind of information to be revealed, and now the people waiting for Skyrims November release date can take a look at this list and maybe get a better idea what kind of character suites them.
When you play a huge immersive RPG like Skyrim, you are bound to put in over one hundred hours if you are looking to fully complete the game. When it comes to picking a character, you want to get it right the first time. I need to mention that this isn’t a final list of perks and abilities, so if there is something you think is missing; it might still be in the game. So take a look at this list and figure out who you are going to be.
Orcs ability: Beserker Redguards ability: Adrenaline Rush Wood Elf abilities: Resist Poison, command animals and resist disease Nord ability: Battlecry Khajiit abilities: claw attacks, night-eye Imperial abilities: Find more coins when looting, voice of the emporer High Elf abilities: Regenerates Magika fast Dark Elf abilities: Resist fire, ancestor’s wrath (surroinds you in fire) Breton abilities: Resist shock, dragonskin (spell absorbing) Argonians abilities: Breathe under water, histskin (regenerate quicker), disease resistance 50% Sammuthegreat also posted the different kinds of skill trees that you build up by adding points to the skill you want to increase.
