User blog comment:TheRadiant/Favorite race and favorite type of character to start with?/@comment-4644719-20120123173532

I have two favorite playstyles. The first character I really got good with was a Khajit assassin/archer. It was just too easy. I went months in game without ever getting hit, even by dragons and in open fields. I got so high leveled at sneaking, I could go anywhere. I got so bored I decided to see if I could kill every guard in the game without being detected, and I did it. I had hundreds of murders, assaults, and trespasses, but never any bounty.

I started a couple new characters, orcish warrior, light armor guy, Breton supertank. None of them were really fun. So, I started a straight mage, Altmer, Destruction, Conjuration. Did you know that about 7 times out of 10, a Dremora Lord beats a Draugr Deathlord in single combat? Or that the Impact perk makes any sort of single combat completely one sided?

In Oblivion, I tried to make a pure mage. I never did very well with it. In Skyrim magic is so much easier and so much more fun.
