My first time through any RPG I create a kind of generic warrior "test character" to get the feel of the game. When I have the feel of the game I can begin to stretch out a little. The more I understand about a game and its stories, NPCs, cultures, ect, the easier it is for me to roleplay.
So my first character will most likely be a test character. After that I have no plans. I'll probably spend several frantic weeks trying out nearly every combination of class and race the game offers before I settle down to two or three (or four) (or five) (or six) (...ect, ect) permanent characters.
I have no problem ignoring timelines. Heck, I'm not even sure what the timeline in this game is. I tend to make up my own lore for my own characters. And it tends to be new lore for each new character. I incorporate bits of Bethesda's (or, in this case, Zenimax's) lore when it suits my purpose. But when it does not suit my purpose, I cheerfully ignore it.
