Opinion time: in most games I feel as though combat drags on, detracts from the story, reduces immersion, and is overcomplicated. That in mind when I went to play skyrim for the first time, I made an Orc thinking that I would be able to win battles by hitting the least number of buttons and progress the plot more efficiently. I just wore heavy armor and used a warhammer. Worked fairly well, most things died in one hit, and killing me must've been a fucking CHORE, especially with berserker rage. I'm thinking about playing through it again, but making some different choices and doing more side missions, but I liked how the combat was and was wondering if Orc was really the best choice for that or if Nord would be better. Thoughts/opinions, please?
