Dovahkiin. Sounds saucy, but as those eyeball-deep in Skyrim will tell you, itâs also the label handed out to the hero of the game. It means âDragonbornâ, and like any other Elder Scrolls game, itâs about the only thing everyoneâs character will have in common.
Some people roll male. Others female. Some roll Nord, or Imperial, or Redguard. They might go blonde, they might go ginger. Theyâll favour magic, or prefer smashing peopleâs heads open with sharp/heavy things.
Basically, everyoneâs character will be different. Which means itâll be interesting to see what everyoneâs come up with. SoâŠletâs see them!
Show me your Dovahkiin. Leave him or her in the comments section below. If youâre on PC, take a screengrab! If youâre on console, take a photo! And when you do, donât just dump a photo. Tell us their name, how you rolled, how youâre playing, etc. Because thatâs likely to be as interesting as the face you came up with.
To get things started, you can see my strapping Nord up top, modelled on the most appropriate man I could think of for a game like this: High on Fireâs Matt Pike
His name is Thalgrin. And Thalgrin cares not for magic. He cares for giant swords, and likes to see the whites of an enemyâs eyes before he runs them through.
