3 Parts:
You're watching VisiHow. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to create your first character in the Elder Scrolls online game. First, we'll choose a character race. Then we'll choose a character class. Finally, we'll choose a character body and character face. Each of these is discussed in detail in the tutorial.
Steps
- 1To begin, let's place our mouse over the character, and we can move around to see.
- 2We can also use the "+" and "-" options beneath the character to zoom in or out.
- 3We can also use the left and right arrows beneath the character to turn or twist the character, and see them in different positions.
- 4It is shown along the left-hand side of the screen.We are in "PREVIEW" for the "Novice Gear", which is the beginning gear.
- 5We can also click on "Veteran Gear", which will give us a preview of what the character will look like if they have the top gear for their class or profession.
- 6Let's stick to "Novice Gear" for this demonstration because this is what we will start with at the beginning of the game.Also, we can click on "No Gear", which will give us a view of them in no gear.
- 7Right now, we have the race of "Breton" chosen.We will need to choose a "RACE" from the panel on the right-hand side of the screen.
- 8Orcs are a little bit different. They are a little bit hairy with big, nasty teeth.Let's click beneath that and choose the "Orc" race.
- 9We also have the "Redguard", which is a powerful fighting race in the game.
- 10High elves are somewhat haughty. They are the magic users, mostly.Next, we can choose "High Elf".
- 11They are excellent archers, rangers and scouts.We also have the "Wood Elf".
- 12We have the "Khajiit", who are a cat-people race, such as lions or lionesses.
- 13We also have the "Argonian" race, which are lizard people from the swamps.
- 14They are also known as "Dunmer", and they have darker skin and red eyes.Then we have the "Dark Elf".
- 15They are big, tall, powerful Viking-types.Then, we have "Nord", who are very much like Vikings.
- 16There is the "Daggerfall Covenant", which is the Breton groups. We have the "Aldermeri Dominion", which is the elving groups. Last, we have the "Ebonheart Pact", which is the swamp-dwellers, the dark elves and the Nords. These are basically the outcasts.There are different kinds of "ALLIANCE", which can also be chosen from the panel on the right-hand side of the screen.
- 17This will randomly change the character. It is completely random, as we can see. Each time we click "Randomize Appearance", we'll get another option.If we want to see quickly what our character might look like, we can click "Randomize Appearance" in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- 18This option will allow us to change the class. It's a base class. We can do quite a bit as we move through with each class. Each class can serve to fill functions of the other class. We have "Dragonknight", which is a powerful fighter. They also use some bits of magic.Now, let's click on the "Class", which is the second option in the menu at the top of the panel on the right-hand side of the screen.
- 19Sorcerers obviously use magic, such as lightning bolts and that type of thing.We have the "Sorcerer", which was previously selected in the demonstration.
- 20They are also good with bows and arrows.We also have "Nightblade", who are thieves.
- 21They fight and have a bit of light damage.Then, we have "Templar", who are something more of a holy knight.
- 22Let's select "Body", which is the third option from the menu at the top.
- 23We have a triangular bit under "Body Type", which will allow us to go up to "Muscular", or down to "Thin" or "Large", whichever we prefer.
- 24We can change "Skin Color" under "Features".
- 25Again, the "Randomize Appearance" option is there.
- 26There are a number of different things we can do with the face.Lastly, we can change the "Face", which is the fourth option in the menu at the top.
- 27These settings are something that the game decides. Apparently, according to the game, heroes have big chins.Under "Face Type", we can choose a "Soft" face, or a more "Heroic" face, if we prefer.
- 28In this case, we are going to name ourselves, the mighty "VisiHow".Then, we simply enter in our character's name in the bar below the menu at the top.
- 29The option to the left of "Randomize Appearance" is "Create". We will click "Create".Once we've done this, we can then go down to the bottom right.
- 30This will create "VisiHow" for us, and "VisiHow" will be logged into the game.
- 31This is the end of our tutorial on how to create your character. Now we've created the character, and we are into the game. From here, please check in for the next tutorial. Thanks for choosing VisiHow, and have a great day.You'll want to check our next tutorial on how to start off playing.
