    Probably an Assassin/Illusionist type character- it's so cool to calm someone before killing them, or just making enemies kill each other

    Dat hybrid class. Spellsword or Nightblade or a bit of both I guess.

    I loved stealth assassin type when I'm alone but always ended up as heavy melee warrior with restoration knowledge when I have follower, I think it's my responsibility as leader. I love to lead the fight in battleground but also love to sneak & wait for the right time to shoot my arrow. 

    I guess all of my character have double personality.

    I like to play thieves in Skyrim. I also tried a full mage for my first time recently, and it's actually pretty rewarding.

    Ranger has been my favorite. I can sneak around with a bow or charge in with a flurry of blows while dual-wielding.

    The current ranger only uses sneak and bows for those "oh, ----!" moments.

    I've also enjoyed my heavily armored cleric/paladin whose main weapon is the crossbow and who does not sneak. Ever. I have played with him on legendary from the start and he is currently level 40.

    Light Armored Spellsword. Dunmer work good for this. Or Guerilla (you can czech out my build on that.)

    Nightbalde/Witch Hunter usually. Sometimes pure hunter or pure assassin. But yes, usually a thief/mage hybrid of some sort

    Two handed heavy armor tank reinforced with magic like alteration, conjuration and restoration, and Enchanting/Alchemy of course to max the Armor and Damage output.

    Unarmed fighters... if only damage scaled accordingly and we could use our legs while unarmed fighting :(

    My favourite would probably be an Assassin with daggers (not bows).

    I prefer some type of heavily armored Mage, or an assassin, or a Mage assassin! =D

    I've had success with both a sneak archer/backstabber who nicks anything not nailed down, and with a sword-and-board warrior with lots of smithing and magic resist. I've not yet taken a mage through the full game, nor have I tried to mess with hybrid stuff.

    I like a hunter type, I love sneaking around and picking off foes from a distance :) I just wish you could have a pet like in WoW!

    Fastest Twohanded weapon Warrior mixed with some (dual casted) Magic and Archery, closely followed by magical ranger archer summoners.

    Archer, assassin, light alchemist...  

    With this type I tend to play a Bosmer and do not drink health potions I did not make you can use Bear Claws & Giant’s Toe for health, and if you are OK with Fungus...Glowing Mushroom, you can also use Boar Tusk from the DB add-on - there is a list right here for those who want to keep within the Green-Pact (posted by RuneRed)  It even breaks out poisons to make!

    But I do love a good Nord Archer that is handy in light armor and an ax....  That is cool too!

    Witchhunter, by far my favorite class in the elder scrolls series.

    Mage, with a bit of one handed (daggers) thrown in. Mostly based in conjuration and illusion.

    Mage or hybrid between mage and warrior.

    Spellswords in heavy armour like my original character, but I only used destruction for him, which is fine. (A bit of sneak archery on the side too)
