I have made alot of different builds, from warriors with sword and shield, warriors with 2 handed, to spell swords. I have also made thieves, assassins, and nightblades. I've made mages, templars, necromages, and healers. My favorite thing to do, is make a build that would be difficult to accomplish, for example, my healer, beat the game without damaging anyone, it was very satisfying, or even my assassin who never got detected the entire game, other than by non hostile npcs you need to talk to, most never saw me anyways.
My all time favorite build is my Highelf warrior, at the beggining, he was very weak. First, I travelled to halted stream camp to collect transmute, then i bought iron ore, used transmute to make silver, then gold, i made rings, 2 at a time, enchanted them, then finally sold them. During that process, i enlisted with the companions, where i began training my heavy armor, 2 handed weapons, and blocking. I am not a pure warrior, i do still use my natural born talents, for example, my restoration upgrade allows me to regenerate health and stamina with healing spells. A good fireball tends to clear out a room rather quickly, plus magicka improves enchantment duration, also, i use fire, so i upgraded damage, my fire enchanted weapons now also do extra damage, helping me as a warrior. I did not use any of the first 3 guardian stones, i instead used the lover stone, for the extra xp, added in with the lover's comfort bonus, i now gain 30 % xp bonus to all skills, which can be very helpful, i am married to mjoll, because she is invincible.
Like i said, at the beginning i was very weak, but now, a much higher level, i tower over everyone due to the high elfs height, and i am wearing full daedric armor, using a 2 handed daedric greatsword. Me and Mjoll both in daedric armor, using daedric greatswords, plus my 2 flame atronachs ( permanent) make for a menacing sight, if the enemies could flee at our sight, i bet they would. ( i am not sure if my fire damage increase helps the atronachs, but the 50 % damage increase they get anyway helps them regardless)
I know it was alot to read, if you did read it, but it goes to show that you can make any race into any class. I have also made, an orc assassin, super OP, sneak upgrade reduces armor noise, heavy armor upgrade reduces armor weight, and with muffle heavy armor is not a factor. He uses 2 daedric daggers, full daedric armor, his follower is cicero, in full daedric armor, muffle is needed.
I have alot of builds, and i can help whenever i can. ENJOY
