I created an awesome female Redguard but i can't decide on a class Warrior or Mage Redgaurds will be good at either help. Is a BattleMage viable i really don't want to split my skills and perks . So far i've gotten to level 20 twice and level 12 twice only to star over for various reasons this is the Character i'm going to finish the game with so i need to make a decision and roll with it.

Anything is viable. You really dont have to plan too hard to become insanely overpowered in this game. You dont even need to perk armor in this game really.

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1313851-complete-character-design-freedom-damage-resist-caps-and-ridiculous-damage-thread-7/

This thread really details how to achieve a very powerful character of any type. It does involve getting (usually) 100 alchemy, 100 enchanting, 100 smithing
although if you don't wear armor and don't use weapons you can probably for the most part drop the smithing.

The high points of the thread are:
Armor: Light and heavy are viable, and you can reach the damage reduction cap using any armor style because of the crafting synergies, so choose based on looks usually.
Weapons: The crafting trades in combination make for ridiculous damage dual 1h is "best" but any is viable and shield offers several advantages. That being said, i really enjoy 2h combat as it is pretty immersive.
Gear in general: Enchanting is really good.
Magic schools: Enchanting reducing mana cost to 0 for all spells in easily 2 schools. Potions generally making your spells better.

You don't need a built in feature to create a class.

On topic: I personally like warriors because they feel more intensive to play.

You make your own based on your skills you work on. Similar to homebrew D&D classes.

Your only limited by yourself.

Again.. the ULTIMATE character.. This is not MMO, there are no "Ultimate". As long as you can dish out some damage (Hell only unil you done the first dungeon quest you encounter) and you like the character.. Go for it..

I play a healer, yeah.. I use summons and Lydia to dish out my damage while i stand back and healing Lydia, thats all i do.. =) Grand fun (When am not playing my thief)
