So I want to make a new character in skyrim, my current one is a level 22 wizard that somehow along the way acquired level 55 one hand and level 60 archery. My main offense is destruction (73) and I second in restoration.

I cant decide what to make my character, here are some ideas I had but I want you to give me some input and/or any mods that would make this even better please let me know about:

Straight up Two handed brutal orc that just rushes straight in, no archery and no magic. Heavy armor, two handed weapons/dual wield blunt weapons, no shield.

A necromancer/Assasin type character. Mainly bows amd arrows, I rely heavily on stealth. The necromancer part comes in so I can summon other creatures to fight for me while I stay hidden and shoot with teh bow, alchemy will be a hobby so I can create deadly poisons.

A knight type character. Sword and shield, a standard soilder. I would probably align myself with a faction and fight the enemies, heavy armor, sword, shield. Restoration would be an extremely small part of my character but mainly swords.

A Regular archer, I would probobly get a companion mod for this character. I would be a hunter/bard type, I wouldnt carry anything I didnt need. Only have my armor/weapons. 99% of my attacks would be ranged, relying heavily on my partner but I would be fairly well versed in the art of swordplay also.

If anyone has other suggestions that would e great too, im open to any suggestions.

Make a character that focuses on alchemy and enchanting and you can easily turn him into whatever you want him to be.

Based on the armor and weapons I am using my character can one hit just about anything in the game thanks to the broken leveling system in skyrim.

I tried to make a legolas type character from LOTR. Archer using light armor and dual daggers for when ranged doesn't work. It was alright, but there came a time when I could snipe everything and got bored. I feel the best is a traditional Warrior with your weapon of choice. I like the mod that adds samurai armor and daikatana to the game so I can walk around like an old samurai warrior. Only problem is the game puts great swords (two handed) on your back and samurai didn't traditionally carry swords that way. Still, it works.

I have been trying to find a mod that could make your character like a ninja. With shuriken, a short sword, then you can build him out with stealth type skills and lockpicking etc.

Doesnt really matter. Theres no classes. You can focus on whatever you want, any time you want.
You can go to any stone and change focus on the skill bonus so they didnt even bother with starting classes or anything.

I think what best defines a good role-playing experience is the limitations, and because the the whiny, wimpy console players Bethesda kinda killed the limitations.

But I recommend a breton without pushing any combat skills and trying to beat the game on mostly sneaking around.
