I'm not sure about you, dear reader, but I enjoy games that give you the ability to obtain god-like status. Capitalizing on skills,attributes, and armor proves to be a lovely hobby for any gamer.
What do you think the most viable class option is? Which class will make you truly feel the power that should be "Dragonborn"?
I prefer my two handed weapons, using a shield in my opinion is so....boring. And way too easy. And skyrim is a land of barbrian like people, a shield does not fit at all. That plus enchanting and smithing, and a tiny bit of archery, you pretty much can dominate all situations. Oh, and light armor, cuz what self respecting nord uses heavy armor, psh.
