As an alternative, a Redguard gets an even better bonus to Long Blade (+15) and adrenaline rush is IMHO the best power boost. If you take The Lady and make Endurance and Strength your favored attributes, then you’ll start with 85 Endurance to pump up your health and 60 Strength which gives you above average damage and helps your Long Blade skill. Since you’re a return player, you may know that a simple quest will get you one of the most powerful long blades in the game.
Specialization: Combat (of course)
Majors: Long Blade, Block, Heavy Armor, Athletics and Marksman
Minors: Armorer, Alchemy, Speechcraft (solves a lot of quests), Enchant (all magicka skills in one) and Mysticism (for Mark/Recall and Almsivi/Divine Intervention)
