If you're going the stamina Nightblade route, level them both as you go. If you tend to do more killing with your dual wield bar then just make sure to do quest turn-ins with your bow equipped.

As for going free to play, you miss out on the DLC zones and dungeons, as well as a couple skill lines (though the skills certainly aren't required; more or less just handy passives). Most of the DLC zones are fantastic though, and subbing also gets you the almighty craft bag. As a crafter I couldn't live without that thing.

In the end though it all depends on what floats your boat in terms of content.

I started as a Dark Elf Dragonknight going with Earthen Heart and focusing on 2-handed weapons. I did the starting isle, then hosed off to Anvil as soon as I realized I could fast-travel there to do the Dark Brotherhood quests while leveling Ledgerman by fencing stuff taken from the guards bodies when I gently caress up and am spotted. How badly have I hosed up my character so far? Also, are the square runes for enchanting supposed to be incredible rare? Because I seem to find the other two shapes quite easily, but never the square runes.

Respecs are very cheap and easy. Don't worry about it! Only costs like a thousand gold.

You can do the Dark Brotherhood quests at any level. I just finished running a nightblade through them from level 4 to 12.

You can buy the square runes from the various Enchanters. It used to be rune nodes were separated by type, but then it was changed so that a single node can give multiples. I think that's when they also changed it so square runes are sold by NPCs.

Noobie question: I'm like level 6 right now so I know I'm getting way ahead of myself, but why is it that when I look at Dragonknight tank builds and then look at my skill tree, I can't find most of the skills the build mentions? I'm wearing all Heavy armor. I've got the sword and board. But I don't see "Choking Talons" or "Green Dragon Blood" or any of that?

Most skills will have something named a Morph when you reach max xp bar rank 4 of the ability. It resets the rank to 0 and allows you to chose between one of two better abilities. From what I've seen, the design is usually one uses stamina and the other magicka. You pick the one for the resource you focus on (ie, MagBlade or StamBlade).

This is good advice but I'm an edge case: I exclusively play these games with my wife and she's always my pocket DPS or healer so I enjoy tanking for her.

Someone in guild chat was saying they leveled as a tank and mostly just insta-queued for dungeons :shrug:

160 CP is max gear tier. You can spend up to 720 CP now. You keep gaining it afterwards, but 720 is the current spendable cap.

I don't own the game through Steam but it should be obvious that more than a few people probably play this through Steam by this point, from adopting it later on or getting a sale through Steam

I won’t buy games if they aren’t on Steam. I like having everything in one place, and havign a fuckery free interface. Steam is one convenient place for me to update games, keep track of their news, discussion forums, sales, use the interface to see hours logged, etc etc.

fwiw you bought from a lovely unauthorized key reseller. Not blaming you because the thread loves latching on those so it's hard to tell.
