Pick your race, sex, class, and customize your appearance before you start your journey with the robust character creation tool. Venture out into Tamriel’s beautiful scenery, where you’ll cross paths with wild animals, monsters, and other players. Along the way, you'll pick up various quests depending on the location and your level.
