There isn't alot of help online concerning the first two Elder Scrolls titles, so I thought I'd go to the community. I want to be either a warrior or knight. From what I gleaned from the manual, the warrior is a faster leveler, while the knight can repair armor. Is there any other pros\cons I'm missing? It seems like the warrior is just not as good as the knight, am I missing something?

There's nothing special about a warrior except that he levels a little faster, and he can wear any type of armor. That doesn't bother the knight, as his only restriction is leather. So, knights can wear the best armor in the game, automatically repair it, and they're immune to paralyzation.

Also work on getting a legendary item as early on as you can manage. That King Orgnum's Coffer will go a long way toward getting you a full set of ebony.
