Poll: An Oblivion Poll:

[SantoUno]

I always thought that magic was the only way to go, but then I discovered how fun it is to sneak attack every enemy with my awesome blade, and you can't do sneak attacks with spells.

Still, I will always prefer using magic, simply because it has so much variety unlike using only a single kind of weapon for the other two forms of attacking.

...
So yeah.
Sneaky-guy ftw! I usually add some magic and other fun things to it though.

 

[Argtee]

In Oblivion, (and Morrowind) I'm usually a mix of stealth and magic.

 

[Peteron]

You guys have no idea how shocked I am that not a single soul has chosen Melee/Bow! My brother always uses that combination, and it is a very good one, so I figured I would have quite a few!

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

battle mage

go in with ridiculous amounts of sword shield and heavy plated armor and then when need be i can dish out some cold damage =]

I use the bow all the time with my wood elf.
It's just that the rest of the time I play as a female dark ef summoner, I mean arrows and a sword.......or summoning a swirling vortex of living rock that shoots out thunder??

 

[SalamanderJoe]

Light armour mixed with destruction magic, melee mainly with short swords. Occasionaly I'd summon an Imp for no reason to abuse the guards.

 

[The Long Road]

Normally, I don't use destruction magic all that often, but I have an 'oh sh!t' spell that basically nukes a 50-foot area. It completely drains my Magicka, so I only use it if I'm totally desperate to escape. Or if I'm bored and want to see things on fire. Which is always.

 

[Lacsapix]

the stealth assiassianation (I'm pretty sure thats wrong spelled)quests from the dark brother hood in oblivion where better then assassins creed....
so yeh that makes me a sneak basterd

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

I had a really stretched build. I played a dunmer/dark elf under the atronoch. Wore heavy armor, learned all the sneaky stuff, bows, spells, sword and shield. Built up my magika absorption so I sponged up pretty much any magic that hit me. Once you learn how to bend the leveling system it's not hard to be insanely powerful in a hurry. My normal attack approach was to sneak, fire a stealthy shot with the bow, fire off the most powerful spell I've got to knock down my magic pool and charge in with sword (Umbra or Goldbrand) and shield.

I put sneaky since some stuff didn't survive the first shot.

 

[L4hlborg]

Mage with a sword as backup.

Summon Daedra lord, Weak fireball and 30s invisibility (don't remember name) <3

And I don't <3 shit too often.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I'm a little of Sneak and Magic actually...

 

[Flames66]

I am a High Elf swordsman (with custom weapons and armour) who also uses a bow.

You guys have no idea how shocked I am that not a single soul has chosen Melee/Bow! My brother always uses that combination, and it is a very good one, so I figured I would have quite a few!

I just picked it.

 

[AfterAscon]

I usually go for the worst mix possible; Heavy/medium armour, blade, block and Stealth. It takes absolutely ages to level your skills for it to become viable, but no one expects to be attacked from the shadows by a warrior in full daedric armour.

 

[Hosker]

On my current play through I focus mainly on melee with some summoning magic.
I would focus completely on magic but there doesn't seem to be enough spells that cause damage.

 

[Scobie]

[Arctodus_Simus]

Sneaky guy, with a heavily enchanted bow and arrows.
A small dagger and some destruction just in case.

This ^^

Crouched in the shadows 200feet away with a damage health bow, and some badass poison applied to my arrow.....dead before they hit the ground

Decent knife, or perhaps a shortsword as a backup for close quarters, and light restoration magic for if a plan should ever go awry (rare these days)

Usually pick Khajiit, for superb acrobatics and agility, leaping from rooftop to rooftop in pursuit of my prey....

 

[Aethren]

Bosmer Assassin. I always try to stick with the pre-built classes, since I'm using the OOO mod among others, which do quite a nice job of restricting the 'jack-of-all-trades' phenomenon of high-level characters.

That said, because of those mods, Conjuration is starting to look very appealing.

 

[roger moores eyebrow]

I usually go for a breton spellsword on the first run. Heavy armour, swords, and destruction/illusion magic. pretty overpowered. I usually go for a stealthy assassin build after that but never does enough damage late game.

 

[sheogoraththemad]

I don't play, I have a land to watch over.
