Early Game help sought

Paradox187
Paradox187
Soul Shriven
Played at beta and launch then left for 2.5 years and recently returned.
Started a few characters and I am picking up where some older ones left off. I am finding that a lot of guides neglect early game and only show what you can do when you are maxed with 100's of these champion point things.

I would like to know if anyone has links to builds that are dedicated to early game lvls 1-50

Dragon Knight - Stamina - Duel Wield and 2Hander (self-healing seems lacking)
Sorcerer - Magika - Destruction Staff and Resto Staff
Templar - Stamina - 2Hander (do not want to use a staff so no Magika builds)
Nightblade - Stamina - Duel Wield

I realise that some of my weapon/race choices may not be optimal but the weapon has to make RPG sense to me.
I would appreciate any help with these.

    First off, in early game your choices do not matter quite as much, as the content is more forgiving.

    Second - kudos to you for RP based choices. My "goblin" is based on some RP things that are important to me, but make playing her in any kind of challenging content... well... challenging.

    As a matter of practicality at very low levels - soul trap is a DoT that can effect more than one target (I've seen it hit 3, not sure if goes higher than that).

    And speaking of RP stuff, what race? That will matter too.

    Or anyway it would to me.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Vampire's Kiss is a good early game crafted set for all classes, will help keep you alive in the early days. Torugs pact is also an easy set to craft for magicka users. I don't have any links for you but if you have any specific questions about sorc then feel free to ask. One tip to keep you going; use healing ward from resto skill line until you unlock hardened ward when you get daedric summoning to level 42.

    Apologies It is important, I just forgot to add it in.

    Dragon Knight = Dunmer
    Sorcerer = Altmer
    Templar = Breton
    Nightblade doesn't exist yet but I do not like Khajiit (I do have a Nightblade but it is my old char at lvl30, I completely forget how to play it so I need to make a new one)

    I play all DACs add e PSN drinsanity666

    Also dragon blood is a good heal morph to coagulating blood. If you PvP you can unlock vigor best Adam heal base. Between the two you'll have no help problems at all
