My Khajiit Stamblade wasn't my original character, she was my third and started her life as just a test to see what the Class felt like to play. Even gave her a stupid joke name "Kat Blade", but overtime I fell in love. She went from a test to the character I did everything with. Every Quest, every Delve, every exploration achievement, was even my first character I eventually Maxed my crafting on. And Nightblades are just the best general purpose Solo PvE characters in the game.
Best original idea. Never played something like that in a previous mmorpg.
Excellent visuals. It so happened that I like warriors and DK is s brawler.
I became extremelly dissapointed that with the exception of fossilize and leap, all other class for a DK improve stats instead of providing active gameplay options.
Honestly, I get a lot of enjoyment out of helping other players as a Healer. I serendipitously started out with a Breton Templar. My lag is just too erratic to do reliable dps. It is high on average, being between 260 and 340 on most days. I know there are amazing Oceanic players that can do good dps despite high ping but it's the 999+ spikes that defeat me. Tanking is also fun but I have a terrible sense of direction and one shots are dicey when you only see them after you're a corpse.
Master Crafter. I play all my characters, on multiple content so I can't say I have a "main" character, I do have all my crafting consolidated on a single character though.
My answer is simple. She is my khajjit ,stealthy asassin. She works for a secret society. I cannot say anymore about that.
I find her fun to play but she also has a lot of personality. We've had some great adventures together.....she's a part of me.
Because my main role-playing character from other games is a warrior mage type who uses lightning-type magic, and the race that I had to use to make him look right was Breton. That's it.
My main is my Warden healer.
I liked the way they heal more than Templar.
I didn't know it at the time, but they got more buffs.
and I like buffing a lots. (though i do wish I could get a skin for the green balance skills to make them more 'foresty' instead of dark elfy)
I started playing ESO with the release of Morrowind, so I figured that it would make sense to play a warden, as we were all new to the Warden at that time. My warden is still my main, as I enjoy the versatility of the class.

Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).
Warden. Just seemed fun and new. Ended up falling in love with it's design and the way it handles combat. Even with how it's a shadow of it's former self I still adore the class.
My main was a sorc and then I created a magplar and fell in love! My magplar quickly became my main and is now a Grand Master Crafter. I just find her easy to play for dps and survivability and she helps others survive.
