It appears that Dragon Knight was pretty popular back then. I wonder, if it would have been this popular, if the name were something simple. Like "Warrior"

EDIT: i was wrong. It seems, that NB was even more popular. Though i think it's because that is the obvious stealth class.

I guess many did such who came from Skyrim.

I'm not sure which one was actually my first ever, because I created a bunch of random characters in my first beta just to try out the character creator, classes, different starting areas and other options and I can't remember what order I made them in.

But the first one I made that wasn't just random was a nightblade, because I wanted to recreate my usual TES character who focuses on sneak attacks with bladed weapons, light/medium armour and some magic as a back-up and the nightblade seemed like the best fit for that.

But after I discovered that your weapon and armour skills are entirely independent from your class and it only really determines the kind of spells you use I swapped to templar because that's the closest fit for the destruction and restoration magic she normally uses.

I was main healer in GW1, and WoW. And my main race in Obvlivion, and Skyrim was Breton. So the choice was Breton Templar. As Templar seemed the right choice for a healer.

But i just loved heavy armor, and now i'm main tank. Though it have to say, that it's nice to get into dungeon within 2 seconds.

It was actually like that since Morrowind.

Nice dedication! I salute you. I found DK a year ago. I wish I had made it from the start. Doing skyshards and base zones again is boring :-(

Nightblade.

The game was so difficult that i gave up very, very fast and rolled a Templer.

My 1st character was a Breton Magsorc. I originally came to this game to play a Necromancer, back when it was launched on consoles, but quickly found that they didn't exist. So I made the next best thing to it, a mage who summons pets. Mained him for a few years and did every quest in the game before I started on other characters.

Well now you can go necro. Though i don't understand why wasn't in-game on start. Not that i want to play it, but let's face it. Necromancers were a big deal in the TES series since a long time. Oblivion, and Skyrim had a lot of enemies in Necromancer cults. Oblivion's mage guild antagonist was the greatest necromancer ever. Even in ESO base game there are plenty of necromancer enemies.

I had no idea about the game or what class could do what.
Imperial Stam Templar with sword and shield - can not remember which alliance he went with.
I reasoned that if I had a shield I would have some protection, and so then I would need a sword.
I really struggled with the game.
Once I could swap weapons I acquired a pair of daggers and started to work out that doing damage and killing them before they can damage (kill) you worked better.
I would put 1 in health, 1 in stamina, 1 in magica - after all you needed to balance your build.
After being re-built a couple of times he is not too bad now, but he hardly ever comes out to play.

Nightblade. Now it's a class I'd never touch with a 10ft pole.
