How do you guys like my Battlemage/Spellsword Build? I will try to bring this build into Skyrim depending on how well it translates.

Race: Altmer

Birthsign: The Mage

Class: My Battlemage

Specialization: Magic

Attributes: Intelligence, Willpower

Skills:Blade, Block, Light Armor, Destruction, Restoration, Conjuration, Illusion


I personally love Altmer. They are very unique, I love their lore, plus I love their increased Magicka.

I'm not sure if they fit this race best, but they have a lot of magicka.

Many would say Dunmer, but they only start with around 130 Magicka with Mage birthsign 250 with the Altmer. Since Magic is my main weapon, that is very important.

Many would also say Breton, but I really like how the Altmer are unique whereas the Bretons are very bland (Identical to Imperials). Yes, I know Bretons have Magic resistance, but I love how the High Elves have so much Magicka. Also, the High Elves start with higher Endurance (Health), which is very important, especially early on.

So feel free to leave good advice on how I could improve my class, race, and birthsign, for Oblivion and for Skyrim.

Thanks!

Looks good. Not much I'd change. You might want to use Strength as a favored attribute because of an Altmer's low strength so you can carry more loot (and do more damage) but in my games if I increase strength its for carrying more loot not to do extra damage, other than that good build.
