So have we decided which is the best all-around character/race so far?? I started the game as a Khajit but found it less 'fulfilling' so restarted as a Breton as a BattleMage and totally owning!! No need for anymore health portions as the 'heal' and 'open lock' spells totally rule. My offensive plan is to shoot fire/frost/damage health spells at the target and if that doesn't kill them, I finish off their weakened bodies with my longsword. I haven't died in the game once with this character
