I would suggest you start with a fighter type character. With the hitpoints and good armor, you'll be be able to withstand attacks longer and it will be easier to get into the "feeling" of the game.

For race, Nord would be a good choice as they have some nice magic resistances. Redguard or Orc are also good choices.

As birthsign, choose the Lady or the Warrior.

Join all the guilds and do the easy quests they give you in the beginning.

There are also 3 joinable Houses, but you can only join 1 of them.
House Redoran are the noble house suitable for fighters. House Hlallu are more suitable for stealthy characters and House Telvanni are for magic user, but you are free to join whoever you like.
Just remember if you play a fighter character, you'll advance faster in House Redoran as your best skills fits their demands.

Talk to everybody and learn what they have to say.

Try to get the merchants disposition towards you up by admiring or bribing, that way you can sell at higher prices and buy at lower.

Save often (F5).

But most of all, have fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]
