The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Building Our Nord

During QuakeCon, we got to spend an extremely short amount of time with The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. I spent far too much time building my Nord, Shazam. But you know, you can't just go gallivanting around Skyrim looking like a doofus. Shazam has luxurious blonde hair, complete with a manly braid, a scar he received in battle, a tribal tattoo, and a dirty face (no time for showering, must kill). He also wields a mighty battle hammer that I have dubbed "MC". Oh, and he likes to set people on fire.

You can read about the rest of Shazam's high adventures in the chilly world of Skyrim in our full hands-on preview with the game. While most people will leap quickly through the character creation menu to jump immediately into the game, spending a little time with the deep system will allow you to build someone that you won't get tired of looking at for 300 hours. That is until the game sports barbers and tattoo artists, allowing you to change it up on the fly.
