I'm a little curious about the character intelligence levels on peoples characters. Do you create clever fighters that have an answer for everything that is thrown at them? Do you prefer builds that launch you into the world without a need for thinking too much? Do you prefer the dumb barbarian/brute type playthroughs? Please share it here.
Depends usually on the type of character I'm making. My main was originally a 2h tank who just killed without thought but I've changed her into a battlemage who thinks tactically before entering into a fight. So my characters vary quite a bit from Skyler's intelligent tactics to (my new character) Scar-Tail the relentless killer who only has one thought, kill and never ask later.
I never thought of it this way. Usually most of my characters are just projections of my own intelligence. So most of them I suppose would be average. Except my Altmer though. He is probably the smartest. My friend and I always joke about how he discovered the secret of Enchanting and Destruction; and how he wrote the book "Twin Secrets". Oddly that story resembles my High Elf but with a different name. I guess you can say my High Elf was clever enough to make an alias. In the book "The Art of War Magic" it says something about Masters choosing to remain unknown because the greatest are not known. Something like that.
