[QUOTE="Captain Howdy, post: 4124053, member: 24933"] My advice would be to make one character and create a custom class that will allow you to be useful in any situation. Incorporate the most useful skills from each section (one armor skill, one weapon skill, sneak, security, etc.) This will allow you to play the same character and complete all the guild quests with the least difficulty... Although I have found that the only guild that you really need certain abilities for is the Dark Brotherhood. Some random tips that you should be aware of: -I would do the guild quests first (doesn't really matter what order, just do all the quests for all the guilds.) That way, when you start on the main quest, you will be higher level, and the items you get as rewards will be more powerful. (Items are scaled to your level when they are generated. Sword X will be better if you find it at level 20 than if you found it at level 10) -Do the Dark Brotherhood quests first. You get a free horse, and it is black. Black horses are the fastest in the game. That will make the overland travel much quicker. -If you do the Shivering Isles quests, save your amber and madness ore till you are high level. The armor and weapons you get from them are uber if you are 20+. -If you find the game is too hard, there is a difficulty meter in the options menu that will adjust how much damage you take and how hard enemies are to kill. -Don't bother with healing spells or potions. If you "wait" for one hour, you get fully healed. The chances of you being attacked in that one hour are pretty slim. If you have any other questions, ask here or go to gamefaqs.com P.S. The strategy guide is actually pretty well written and helpful, if you are inclined to purchase that. [/QUOTE]
