I want to build some epic Orc who slays people with a few hits.
Should be doable. My puny elf is heavily specialised in archery/light armour but still manages to get things done with a mace when needs be. An orc with heavy armour and a big 2 handed weapon would make a mess.
I've pretty much finished with my 1st character now. Done most of what I wanted to do, finished the main storyline, hit level 50, maxed out in smithing, enchanting, archery and sneak. So I restarted as an out and out mage. No armour, no weapons, no sneaking. It's a lot tougher than the other play-through I reckon. I particularly struggle against other mages - The wards cost too much magicka and if they have a half decent spell it can kill me in one hit. I'm starting to get to the point where I can spam out the fireballs pretty well though so most other stuff goes down quite quickly. With no weapons or armour though I'm in a world of s**t if I run out of magicka and they're still standing. Currently going through the mage guild missions hoping I'll get some decent enchanted gear to help me out.
Bit disappointed with the conjuration. In Oblivion there was dozens of different beasties you could conjure up. Every couple of levels would have you aquiring a new conjuration spell and a new helper to summon. I'm level 15 and still stuck with the largely ineffectual Flame Atronach. Which is cack. I was kind of hoping for a bit more variety with the s**t I can summon.
