Which class for Dark Heart of Skyrim?

Spearpoint

In honour of the next chapter, this guy will be reborn. Right now he's a sorcerer, since I find them fun to play, but the "Skyrim vibe" haven't really been present so far.
I like bows, but I kind of need to go with 2H+DW in Heavy. I'm basically trying replicate the Nord Hero to be ready to embark on his new journey on the 26th, but with at least some horse speed...

Since there's no definitive answer for which class the Nord Hero really is, which of the classes do you think gives the best immersion, and why?

I actually think sorcerors are pretty spot on. The storm/wind theme fit's Kyne's prominence in the Nordic pantheon, as well as it being a harsh climate. It's also a very in-your-face, berserk-y class that relies on weapon skills a lot. Overload, Lightning Cloak, and Storm Atronach are the closest visually to skills from Skyrim, if that's important, at all

Could run warden to have a bear, if you don't mind the Cliff Racers & Netches (Morrowind/Bleakrock isn't so far away). Especially since the Nord Hero is meant to represent the Ebonheart Pact

A lot of nightblade stam DPS skills (Killer's Blade, Surprise Attack, Grim Focus, Death Stroke) don't have big visual effects, so could feel pretty class neutral. Don't need invis for PvE at all.

Developing a backstory for the character & their abilities will make it feel like a fit more than any class selection imo.

I ... hadn't really thought about sorcerer that way. I think you might be very right.
Yeah, I've been thinking about how the bear would be a nice companion for a nord guy, so Warden was tempting.

Thanks a lot for your insight!

Well I’m going to play the same class I have played for 5 years my nightblade 🙂
