Well I am assuming we start off in a fairly large city. So I will make a mage/merchant who will feature almost exclusively in the starting city and try to do as many local quests and absorb as much lore as possible, maybe venturing off to explore different smaller citys (if I hear of a bigger city I will wait till my 3rd game to go there) but will mainly avoid wilderness. Following that (or if we start off in a small town for some reason) I will make a ranger type person who will specialise in restoration, archery, short blade, sneak and some alchemy and explore the woods around town and try to find the smallest town possible and settle there and explore. Untill I get bored of the archer than I will make a questing knight who I will be made anyway I like and he will go anywhere and everywhere.

1. I'm going to explore (first thing i do in every Elder-scrolls game )
2. I'm going to look relentlessly for the fabeled unicorn
3. I'm going to train my orc up so he can start dungeonering
4. I'm going to find amazing artifacts that make me all powerfull and famous (most notably the skull of corruption )
5. I'm going to go to the arena with my all-powerfull artifacs and be in the hall of fame for the arena (if there is one )
6. I'm going to train all combat skills to 100 and officially become a demi-god.
7. I'm gonna start and complete the main quest.
8. I'm gonna do as many sidequests as i can.
9. I'm going to retire from the adventurous part of my life and buy a house in cyrodiil and become a normal citizen
10. I'm going to be the next king of tamriel (after all of the above is achieved and i have created a mod that lets me be the king )
11. After i have done everything in steps 1-10 i will be ready for TES:5!

1) Spend about 3 hours making the perfect character.
2) Run through the woods.
3) Explore Imperial City - buy new armour/clothes - stalk NPCs.
4) Find a mountain and overlook the valleys.
5) Hunt ogre! (or deer... whichever found first.)
6) Raid a dungeon. Sell loot for better clothes.

**Test stealth, magic and combat along the way.**

I think you've got your priority wrong.. I mean, your first going to spend three hours on char-gen, then run around the woods, then explore the Imperial City.. So how in the world are you going to afford to buy new armours and clothes!?

Anyway, off with the jokes, there is far too much to do to actually make a to-do-list, althought all your lists will surely help out if I forget something when the game is out. But still, I will probably spend my first week running the char-gen over and over again just to try the different class/char-setups. Unless I magically hit the perfect char in first shot (wich has never hapened, ever, and probably never will.)

1- create one sweet a$$ character
.
.
.
.

.
.
weeks later- die from starvation and lack of sleep.

Selling wolf pelts and ingredients. Also, I believe there are gold reserves in the Tutorial dungeon.

* Going to painstakingly create the absolute perfect looking character as I see it.
* Going to slowly walk around testing minor things and admiring the surroundings.
* Head into town and try a few side quests.
* buy a few things and marvel at the quality of the RAI.
* Head out and train up for the arena getting better weapons and armor.
The list goes on and on and on and on.... I will be definitely using some vacation time for this!

Oh, I see, I just thought it sounded like a rather expensive thing to do right after you get pre-released from jail . That's why I'm going to find myself a place to call home... Or atleast were you can get some jobs done .

Scrotoclease's to do list:

1) spend hours creating a gigantic muscle-bound surly Nordic Barbarian.
2) Join the fighters guild, raid their chest and destroy anybody foolish enough to stand before my might in the arena!
3) Make some money and buy (yes BUY) a horse and home in the most fitting town i find.
4)Wake up my neighbor with a longsword throught the chest so that i may join the dark brotherhood. (yes a stealthy barbarian!) + = scrotoclease (+ ?)
5) begining at lvl 30+, begin main quest (didn't begin main quest until 2 hours and 50 levels of gameplay in morrowind)

thats basically what my agenda is, except that i want to be feared and terrified by the citizens of cyrodiil.
