Ever since I saw the first character gen video I've had my heart set on a pot-bellied Argonian mage with blue feathers called He-Knows. Or maybe Picks-His-Nose. Either way he will have narrow shoulders, ample thighs, and a mead gut. I haven't read enough about classes and whatnot to predict anything else. tongue.gif

What are your ideas? What characters have you already made?

All the MMOs I've played always have really pricey horses. I remember after playing Lord of the Rings online for a year I still couldn't afford one sad.gif

As for repairing, you can pay a merchant to do it or do it yourself, but you'll need a repair kit (available from all standard merchants).


Haa Rei update: We decided to switch out the sword and shield (which was his back-up weapon set) for a restoration staff. Bow is still primary but the staff is pretty handy in a tight spot. Haa Rei had to craft some staffs (staves?) for a woodworking writ and decided that they looked nice laugh.gif

Also, while exploring some Dwemer ruins, we found the Dwemer swords racial motif so once Haa Rei hits level 9 in one of the crafting skill lines he should be able to make some Dwemer weapons! He's incredibly excited, did a little dance when he found it. biggrin.gif

Finally: We decided to go ahead and use the crowns you start the game with to buy the Aldmeri Dominion racial motifs from the crown store. Haa Rei can now craft Altmer, Bosmer and Khajiit gear as well as Argonian. Wouldn't have paid money for it but since it was free it seemed rude not to.

AHA! So I need a repair kit! Okay, well I will have to look for one next time I am dealing with merchants. Too bad you can't repair weapons with like items as they do in Fallout games, lol.

I have a restoration staff, but haven't used it yet because I don't know what it does - don't want to heal up my enemies, lol. How do they work? Will it heal me when I'm in trouble?

Yes, I haven't touched the free crowns because it is my son's game, but I noticed it wasn't much more for the rare motifs than it was for each of the alliance ones.
