    NB in Beta and when it went live.

    I was only shortly active in Beta, my PC was a heap back then so I didn't get much out of it. Therefor I bought the game just around 2016, when I upgraded it. Didn't knew much about classes so I went with NB again, just to find out that you can summon deadras only on sorcerer. I wanted to keep the name so I deleted the NB and went with (then mag, now stam) Sorc as my main ever since.

    Yep, that was the biggest letdown for me, that you can't run a "hybrid", or however you want to call what you've run in every single TES game before.

    Sorcerer, first and forever main. Tbh I simply chose it originally because Ioved summoning in Oblivion. ESO summoning has kind of disappointed me but I already had my character so stayed with her. I also made her based on one of my favourite book characters, a red haired kind of a good witch riding a black horse, Volha :) She'll forever be my main, tbh I think no matter which class I'd chosen first my first char would've stayed my main just because of the personal character attachment. I have since made alts and even played them quite a bit but I simply cannot relate to other characters as well as to my main.

    Nightblade wood elf was my very first. But I got bored with it pretty quick and stopped playing for a while. When I came back I deleted that character and switched to an Orc Sorcerer instead.

    Sorcerer
    My first ever class was a sorcerer. But at that point in time I was completely unaware of how this game and many MMOs worked. My sorcerer had a bow and daggers, and I didn't realise the link between stamina/physical weapons and magicka/staves.

    So eventually I restarted as a nightblade with bow and daggers and didn't look back.

    Sorcerer in beta, and also on live at first. Noticed when arriving in zone 2 (Deshaan) that it was a bit too hard, so I made a Khajiit templar instead. That first character was deleted years ago.

    First character I ever made was a Redguard stamina Nightblade.

    First character I fully leveled through the original game / Gold was a Breton magic Sorc.

    In between the two, I also made and deleted a DK (never really cared for the class for some reason - still only have a pair of lowbies), as well as made (and eventually leveled) a magic Templar.

    Currently have mag Sorc, Templar and Warden at max level, along with stam Nightblade and Sorc.

    When I saw videos with people playing nightblades and saw teleport strike ability - "omg it's so cool, reminds me of Nightcrawler" :D Created two nightblades on my first day :) First is magblade and an alt, second is stamblade and my main character (funny that she was created as second character and I didn't plan much use for her).

    In beta I started with the Templar, but never liked the offensive feel.

    I then moved on to the Sorcerer, but was disappointing at the lack of DOT mechanics.

    Finally I discovered that I could build a DOT based mage using the Nightblade...go figure.

    Im still quite new to the game but i first started with a DK, leveled him to around 14-15 then switched to a magic sorcerer which so far I'm only around level 28 but have found the sorcerer to be a little easier to play and I have also noticed, granted I'm still new to game learning and experiencing things, that they also are capable of reaching higher dps numbers than a mag DK tho I could be very wrong on that but can only speak from my personal experience.

    I started back in April before Morrowind expansion. I rolled a Templar just to get a feel for the game knowing that I was going to main a warden as soon as it came out.

    My Templar is just a writ gathering character now.
