As alot of people before me have said already, if you don't like MMO's you will probably not like ESO. Even if your'e a hardcore Elder Scrolls fan. It's a completely different game.

More weaponry. More weapons means more uniqueness and more creativity! Spears, throwing axes, javelins and Staves (not the magic ones but the ninja deflecting sticks) are all possible solutions.

A  Orc thief who uses Warhammers, no perks, cloth armor and a shit load of Jewelry? Nah, I have literally no idea but i guess you can try that...

You wont believe your eyes, I'm like an overload of Dopamine!

Depends, Hardcore Skyrim session: LEGENDARY TO THE MAX Feeling like roleplaying: usually Adept but sometimes Expert Faceroll relaxing time: Novice or Apprentice I usually play on Adept cuz its kinda relaxing while being challenging at the same time. I only use Legendary for specific characters. Sword and Board works best.
