What class is the most powerful at higher levels?

I'm thinking of restarting as a warrior as my mage character is kind of lame, he seems to be getting WEAKER as he levels up.

Defining 'most powerful' is pretty hard. And there are no classes. There are combinations of skills you can choose to invest in.

If you do smithing, a dual wield, heavy armor fighter with restoration perks on the side is probably the most faceroll type of character you can make. You are impossible to kill once you get your daedric armor, and kill things extremely quickly. The only type of character that does more damage than you is a sneak character, but they move around more slowly :P

This. It's what I created because it suits my playstyle, but it's ridiculously easy.

Stealthy chars with bows are a faceroll aswell. Actually, anything but for mages.

Stealthy characters are quite good, if nothing goes wrong and you don't get alerted.

You should re-word this topic and ask what Crafting skill is the most powerful at higher levels....

I've played 3 characters so far. One was a stealth-focused character where my perks went into archery, one handed (dual wield), sneak, smithing and light armor. This class was great fun and very effective. Another class I tried was a warrior class where I focused on two handed, heavy armor, smithing and blocking. This was also a very fun and effective class.

The first character I really rolled was a mage with only a couple of perks in one handed to go along with many perks in conjuration, destruction, restoration and alteration. The character was quite fun early on in the game but as the game progressed, he definitely began to suffer. A lot of people whinge about mages in this game and rightly so if you're completely focused on combat effectiveness. The mage is not as fearsome in battle as the warrior but if you think about it; a mage shouldn't be as great in combat as a warrior. That's why they call warriors "warriors"! Playing as a mage is all about choosing the right companion to go with you and conjuring the right creature because if you try to get in there yourself, you're likely to break a nail.

The real way that the mage misses out is that they have removed all of the cool, non-combat magic from the class. No more walking on water or opening locks. Magic is now basically a weapon to be mapped to one of your hands and quite frankly, it's not as effective as a sword.

Which is nearly impossible after 50 sneaking. :wink_smile:

backstabbers as afar as Ive seen. dual some great daggers and one hit anything that can be sneaked up on (30x crit? WTF?), which is pretty much anything except for Dragons. Go crazy with enchants and smithing, and it would probably be beyond ridiculous and most certainly not needed.
