Poll: An Oblivion Poll:

[mechanixis]

I ended up spreading my character too thin...he ended up into being a sort of Tank/Summoning combo, but I got greedy and also tried to incorporate Destruction, Restoration, Alchemy and Archery (of all things). Eventually the enemies scaled faster than I could balance out all my skills and I stopped playing.

Really should pick that game up again...

Sneaky melee fighter with some helpful buffing and disabling magic spells.
Why wear heavy armour that takes up 3/4 of your weight capacity when you can just wear light armour and make up for that armour loss with some magic?

I love to play a sneaky Argonian on Oblivion (because they are awesome), especially placing poisoned apples everywhere. I'm always up to no good in that game.

Sneak but usually a bow. Avoid combat as much as possible. Usually take lesser used abilities as favored and just skill up without leveling up.

I played a Redguard Dualist type class - I think my main skills were Acrobatics, Block, Blade, Light Armour, Sneak and Lockpicking. I mostly relied on stealth and a sturdy longsword to drop enemies - but acrobatics allowed me to have Errol Flynnesque battles with enemies. You can seriously engage an army with the right combination of acrobatics, scenery and stealth.

Towards the end of the game I was unbeatable, I used a homemade invisibility spell to make my guy into a ghost. There was nobody I couldn't sneak past and every back was available for stabbing. It turned those high level Oblivion gates into a joke.

I play an agile fighter who has a bad case of kleptomania.

Stealth is really the only thing in Oblivion that is unambiguously, unreservedly, far and away better than the way Morrowind did it.

My first ever character was destruction and melee. Magic in Oblivion was often more fun as well, even if its was bland and unchallenging.

 

[Thedayrecker]

Sneak. I prefer to sneak up on enemies, rather than the other way around.

 

[spartan1077]

Sneaky and magic

 

[Boxinatorizore]

Woo I'm a minority! Destruction/Bow here.

 

[Drakenian]

I think you should change "Destruction/Melee mix" and "Destruction/Bow mix" to simply "Magic/Melee mix" and "Magic/Bow" mix. I play a warrior with a primary focus on Alteration and Illusion magics, with light Restoration.
