My last character was an Imperial Acrobat (premade class) who did the Thieves' Guild and the main quest.
This time, after I answered his questions, Mr. Ergallia at the census office decided that I was a spellsword.
Cool - I've never played that kind of character before. I went with Breton as the race and Mage as the sign, reasoning that Magicka was harder to come by than combat experience.
I'm thinking about the Fighters' Guild, Mages' Guild, and/or possibly the Imperial Temple as big questlines.
But anyone have any advice for a character that is clearly a blend of two different styles - combat and magic? Is Destruction good enough for a ranged skill, or should I be working up Marksman (which is miscellaneous for this class)? Spellsword gives me Long Blade as a major, and both Axe and Blunt weapons as minors.... should I try to work those up, or just focus on Long Blade?
