How many characters have you made in Oblivion? Options

[mirocu]

Some time ago I made this topic at Bethsoft and included a rather poor poll. This time I won´t do it so all you have to do is give me a number on how many characters you´ve made in total in Oblivion. And yes, I demand an exact figure! No "more than a hundred, mumble..." b-s here!

Kidding

I really don´t need to tell you how many I´ve made, do I?

Anyways. Give me your two cents Septims!

I make characters specifically for testing that I don't intend to play, but sometimes I keep them. That can mean that I start them over at the beginning, so do I count them twice? The first incarnation is usually made by taking an "out of the sewers" save and using the console to change everything, including upping the stats to simulate a late-game character, with some odd combo of skills.

Blossom was one I restarted, and completely inverted. I used a test Orc to check the effect of really low disposition in one quest, felt sorry for the reactions she got, and replayed her to max out Personality and Speechcraft.

I have no record of the really quirky ones that didn't have any appeal to make me keep them, so no count either, but you can be sure there was a male and a female of every playable race, plus Mazken, Aureal, Dremora, Xivilai, and of course Angeline and Diablita were both tested as PC's before they became NPC's. Most of the staff at Gweden have been played before they were hired. I have not played a Minotaur.

My two-handed axe-wielders have been a male Orc and a female Argonian. Archers have been Bosmer and Altmer (the latter refused to use magic.) The Mazken became Listener of the DB. My smallest character, a female Breton, became Arena Grand Champion without using weapons (and really had problems fighting Freija when I tested that quest, as it takes away all spells).

So my answer is "lots", and if you can think of a build I haven't tried, it will be "more than lots".
