    Since I'm very fond of stealth and sneaking around, I'll probably roll a Nightblade first before the other classes. More specifically, I'd want a sniper thief that assassinates targets from afar, the same play style I use in the standalone Elder Scrolls games. I'm not sure how this build would work out in PvP but for PvE it's something that I'd want to try out.

    What class do you plan to roll come launch, and why?

    I love tanking and melee classes, and I believe the dynamic combat system of Elder Scrolls Online will be awesome with melee classes, so Templar for me!

    I don't think I will get the game at launch, but if I do I think I would go with Dragonknight!

    I haven't got a really good grip on ESO class system, but based on my knowledge, classes won't play a big role in ESO. You can choose Dragonknight or templar and go stealthy!

    On topic, I will choose Nightblade and go stealthy archer :).

    I'm always, ALWAYS, some kind of Paladin-esque character, so I think I will need to try out a Templar. But then I start thinking about how I play Elder Scrolls games .. I always INTEND to be this really cool and intelligent magic user, but I end up killing everyone with hand-to-hand combat because I am lazy, and fists are easy to carry around ;)

    Whenever playing Skyrim or Oblivion I always went for a mor magic based character so I think that I will choose the sorcerer class. I usually go for the mage typ character in MMOs anyway.

    Sorcerer for me, especially since they implemented two handed and AoE casting in Skyrim. Melee characters are alright, but there's something way more fun about throwing fireballs and killing everything from a distance with arcane sorcery.

    It's either that or a ranged hunter/rogue (nightblade, or whatever they end up calling it), since they're my favourite classes to play in any given RPG.

    I'm with you. There's something about stealth. The sneakiness of it all. I love it.

    Definitely Templar, game-play and mechanic wise they look very similar to the characters I've played before and they just look really fun and suited to what I'd like to do in general.

    I'm the sneaky type, so I'll probably start with a thief/assassin/stealth-person. But that doesn't mean I won't be trying out other (maybe all) classes and seeing which one seems the best for me in this particular game (in DCUO I play a healer - a class I thought I'd never choose! But it turned out to be quite fun :))

    In single players I always have a stealth character. However I doubt this would work well in ESO so I'd probably go with Dragonknight.

    I mentioned it earlier, that i like wizard stuff, so sorcerer for me. That, plus the new chanting system really excites me.

    I'm going to play as a high elf and be a mage. I can't wait to see what it looks like I have been waiting so long to play it. I just wish it was April!

    I'd like to be a dragonknight. I played through the console games as just about everything they had to offer. I wonder how much of a difference your online experience will be.

    I will roll a Sorcerer, as I am usually a throw-magic-at-things sort of player. He's also going to be Argonian, as I like lizard-people. They're cool looking.

    Probably either the Nightblade- Siphoning line, or the Sorceror- Dark Magic. I like playing controlling classes, and from what I can tell (from the names of the spells) these have the most controlly-style play. Also playing Argoninian. Underwater breathing, need I say more.

    I'm going to play a High Elf Nightblade for sure. You don't really expect a High Elf to be a thief, they're far too pretty for that! Naturally That makes them perfect for the role. And just in general I like sneaking around and stabbing people, no matter what the game.

    I'll probably be going with the Sorcerer. I've always gone for a Mage character for the Elder Scrolls games and this one won't be any different. Hopefully the Mages Guild quests are interesting like they were in the single player games.

    Nightblade! Even if I absolutely hated the class, I'd go for it because of the awesome name. But I tend to stick to stealth/thief classes in most RPGs, especially from the TES universe, so I won't break the tradition.
