My first, a Khajiit rogue, will rove and is totally self centered not really caring about others or the civil war going on around her. She isn't interested in being Dragonborn and will probably follow the Main Quest line rather slowly.
My Nord Warrior will be different, struggling for the rights of the Nords and their freedom. Hard Working, hard drinking and loyal. He or she will at some point want a settled home, a place to come to on those cold winter nights and relax.

For example, in Oblivion I would go against foes directly and they would bash my armor into pulp, so I started using the bow to avoid getting hit, and while I was firing the bow I may as well try and hide so that I can do 3x damage. Sneaking up on foes usually keeps the fights relatively small and easy to handle, as well - a loud clanking warrior tends to bring monsters running from the other side of the map!

So that becomes what the game is about for me - finding the best way to not die while collecting the best equipment to not die as efficiently as possible.
Because of this I tend to play as an amoral mercenary nomad with no home, out for personal glory. But, that's how I played in Oblivion and Fallout 3, which is a ... less

My first build will be a warrior and a hardworking smith, who will join the fighter's guild to help the people of skyrim. My second build will be a thief, greedy and a bit lazy, as all thieves are. She will steal from the rich and middle-class to give to herself, but not a murderer. My third will be a good orsimer mage, relying on magics and servants - with an air of arrogance and delusions of elogance. He will appreciate the finer things in life. Later I may create: a shadowscale, cold and calculating; a greedy imperial merchant, using the law when it suits him, ignoring it when it doesn't; an independant khajiit hunter, interested only in the hunt (but not people). In a nutshell, my approach to skyrim will differ with each character, and I intend to play many builds using all of the races (eventually), with an interest in personality and role-playing as opposed to leveling and power builds. (I play all of my builds, re... less
