    I am an Imperial named Gord, and I have a few playstyles, as I’m learning which enemies are weaker to certain weapons or spells: generally, though, I’m using a 2h sword as my main DPS, switching to a sword and shield for extra defences, or having flames in one hand and healing in the other for DoT (or against enemies weak to fire)

      I love 2H sword, it’s my favourite playstyle. Stealth archer is the cliché build but it’s a ton of fun too, and massively overpowered if you’re into that. It’s worth trying on a second playthrough for sure.

      Have you done any major side quests or factions yet? Or just the main story?

        The only side quest I did was returning the gold claw to a merchant, but I did that one by accident. Been doing MSQ so far, don’t really want to overwhelm myself with too many quests.

        Although, I did find out the very hard way that you could be caught “trespassing” in shops.

          Yeah that’s fair. I don’t usually play the main quest these days, just side stuff since that’s imo the best content in any Bethesda game, but on a first playthrough the main quest can be pretty epic. I hope you enjoy your time with it.
