Great Write-up!!

I tend to RP my TES experience in my own way. I usually start out with a plan and then life in the game takes over. I played through both Morrowind and Oblivion (several times) and I must say for my play style Skyrim has finally given me the ability to organically RP my play as things happen.

I started my most recent playthrough (High Elf) intending on building a pure mage. Dumped almost everything into Magicka. Somewhere early on though I found the summon Bound Bow spell and my love of archery combined with spell casting. Using the bow required my to sneak more and i had maxed sneak before I knew it. With my new ability and very low stamina/health I picked up Mehrunes Razor and learned how to backstab. (most usefull as I find my most dificult enemies were other mages; lightly armored though if you can get in close they are done).

After a time I decided to pick up a shield instead of a ward in my off hand and became addicted to to bashing.

This character is level 74 werewolf (no cheats or exploits) and I am currently playing around with heavy armor and swinging the artifact Volendrung. This flow from one skill to the next and one archtype to another has never been so seemless. Yes I do have to plan how to change because I refuse to grind a skill but only in Skyrim could this be done so completly.
