Stealth, magic, brute strength?

I've tried them all, but I probably enjoyed sneaking around the most. I made a Khajit and just did all the Thieves' Guild and some Dark Brotherhood. Problem is I never really felt like the Dragonborn that way.

I put the game down and never finished it. With new DLC coming up I might pick it back up and try to finish it out. Not sure if I'm going to go magic or fighting. Part of me would like to be a badass Nord or Orc dual wielding axes.

What did y'all do?

I played a paladin/holy warrior type.

One handed, shield, heavy armor, healing magic.

when i leveled up a good bit with daedric armor i was unstoppable. Double enchanted everything. Could heal really fast.

Stealth was by far the most fun.

Magic mostly for attack and stealth. I used a lot of destruction magic. But, I still liked using weapons; so, I didn't use any bound weapons.

It's hard for me to get away from magic in left hand, sword in right, and pull out the bow for long distance/stealth kills.

Stealth.

My character was a crazy awesome stealth guy with the ability to make dragon bone equipment.

I had a dagger capable of doing 67 damage, plus all that back stab shite. Lets put it like this... I can kill a wooley mammoth in one hit.

My bow was also crazy good too.

Zero magic skill, and my character constantly got his arse kicked in direct confrontation.

I found out everyone else plays the game on adept though, Master is fricking hard.

Nord 2-handed, heavy armor, smithing. Thats it. The real dragonborn.

No enchanting, no magic, no stealth, no bow + arrows.

ETA: Only allowed to wear iron armor. But you can upgrade it as much as you need via smithing. Like I said, the real fricking dragonborn.

Stealth. I got the hidden magical Dark Brotherhood armour. Stuff is sweet. I got an assassination kill cam on a dragon on my second hit. So much fun.


Conjugation is fun too. Letting your dremora or Daedric lords just clear a room as you walk through like a badass.

Steath wood elf.

Max sneak, archery, enchantment.

Loads of archery %damage enchantments. Dont need much magic as my kills come easy from distance with a deadric bow that does over 100 damage. I think it was in the 120's plus the archery enchantments.

Also like to poision my bows. Fun as shite playing this way.

I made a badass dagger for stealth kills after getting the dark brotherhood clothes but for the most part I just went around wrecking shite with brute strength.

Stealth Archer is the way to go.

Nothing like sneaking up to a mob, pickpocketing his armor and weapon. . .and then killing him

A cool way to keep things interesting is trying to get through dungeons without killing non-quest essential mobs.

I was so stealthy and good with a bow, that halfway through the game, entire dungeons would never even see me or become curious as to why everyone was
dead.

Sneaky Archer was my favorite

One Handed/Mage is also very fun

Still have yet to do a heavy armor/2 handed run.

I may try that eventually
