Ok this is what i've played so far.

Assassin :

Daggers.
Bow.
Sneak.
Pickpocket.
Alchemy.

Mage #1:

Destruction
&
Alteration

Mage #2:

Conjuration
&
Illusion

Next part will be spoilers so do not read unless you've played all the factions and half of the main story.
When i say all of the FACTIONS i mean all of them.

Spoiler

I've completed all of the factions and i did the main story up until esbern, i sided with the empire both of those times.

So what i need help with now is to make a new character.

I'm thinking of either going full spec warrior with 2 handed, or broad'n'sword.

Male or female?

Does 2-handed weapons look strange on a female char? (I don't want to beef a female char up on the character creation menu).

Race?

Should i go for Nord? Since i chose "E" on my playthrough with the other chars?

Note :

I know the Pros and cons with 2-handed and broad'n'sword i'm just having a difficult time deciding which one to play.

2-handed = Heavy armor.
Broad'n'sword i'm thinking either heavy armor or light armor, not sure yet.

Damn! Now I need to track down the thread where I suggested a load of classes to him. *Sigh*

Sword and Board is more fun IMO, shield is the only thing that makes melee interesting at all.

I have a female Nord Paladin and two-handed warhammers look fine on her, especially when wearing bulky heavy armor.

Her skills are: Twohanded, heavy armor, restoration, blacksmithing and I'm still trying to chose between enchanting or speechcraft for roleplaying reasons.

It's a fun and very strong build (I keep crafting slightly below my main attack skill so it won't break the game) and has a lot of roleplay opportunities since you can't simply kill and steal everything.
