My very first character was a nordic barbarian. He sucked pretty much(Well, I sucked), so I made a black(cant remember the race' name) sword and board character which became my favorite.

argonian stealthy swordsman... who later became a vampire... poison? disease? what're those?
and i almost cried when i ran out of assassination missions... cause that meant i had to do the main story...
which i didnt do once i found the thieves guild... then the mage guild... then i did all the shrines... then i quit cause i fucking hated those annoying repetitive cliched ugly and most importantly UNFUN oblivion gates!
if anyone would like to tell me how that game ended, i'd love to hear it.
EDIT: i made a custom class btw... i don't see why anyone wouldnt.

Breton Rogue with Sneak, Illusion, Blade, Alchemy, Light Armour and Block.
I made a point of assigning the first light spell to my magic slot and always walk with my guard up so I could spam the spell until I was lvl 100 in Illusion. I always held the block up in battle, and I always sneaked unless I was about to talk to someone.
I always play Breton because of their extra magicka, resistance to Magic and their boosts in all magic skills. Muahahaha!

I got into a sort of system where I would run from prison into the Arena District. There I would max my Stealth skill and boost my...uh...agility? The one you get from falling. Anyway, I would then complete the Arena quests. I would become Grand Champion after telling the current champion (can't remember his name either...Ash something?) My victory would attract the attention of The Black Hand. I would play it off as a bad dream (in-game) and try to lose myself (in-game) within the Thieves Guild. Once I complete that quest line and become Batman The Grey Cowl, I examine the dagger given to me by the Black Hand. I then use it, thus becoming an initiate into the Assassin's Guild. After the mission in which you are locked in a mansion with 5 other people, I would just replay that one several times before shutting the game off for a few months then going back to do that again.
It's a good system.

Dark Elf Night Blade. The only thing is though, with all the shiny news daggers and swords I would get I would always forget about this little thing called Magic, that I had at my disposal. It was my first character though, so I broke the habit after a while.
My main was a Nord with Heavy Armor, Blunt, Block, Armorer, Athletics, Acrobatics, and something else I can't remember.
Then I accidentally saved over him... It was a sad day.

STANLEY THE SLAYER: A tall, blond Nord with combat specialties. First seen in Daggerfall, Stanley has become something of a transcendental hero for my TES games.
Slayer's the custom class.

Dark Elf Bulbasaur.
Basically an Assassin with Destruction spells thrown in. I always play a stealth class and favour bows and daggers, do the Dark Brosephs and Thieves, become a Vampire, live in DeepScorn Hollow and generally be a **** to everyone in game.

I swallowed my disappointment until it turned into sorrow and rage. In the meantime I managed to finish the main quest and many side quests and faction quests three times, once with a stealth/magic using Khajiit, once with an axe-wielding juggernaut of a Nord, and once with a Breton Mage. The mage was the least insufferable to play.
Breton mage. No magic can harm me and my magic is incredibly powerful.
Although I did play the game through on multiple characters, breton mage is always my fave. Was the same on morrowind, will probs be same on skyrim.

I beat it as: an orc warrior, high elf mage, dark elf w/ bow/alchemy (kept her lvl 1 all game and she has 3 maxed skills though.)
I was a Breton, I used a mixture of shield, sword and spells, and a whole lot of enchanted apparel. At about level 12 I figured out that 100% chameleon made the game insanely easy. I used that to complete the main quest and did the rest as I did the first 12 levels.
I ended up a master of alteration, mostly for opening locks, destruction, hand to hand (level 250, it was a glitch) and blade. I was at level 42.

It was the first Elder Scrolls game I played. As such, I had no idea that 90% of the game was side quests. So, I just played the main quest. It took me like two days to beat. I didn't level up once. At which point, I was all "wtf?! This is it?!". And then I realized I'd ignored the vast majority of the game. I just assumed the game was insanely long, because everywhere I went, I had no problems killing anything, so it all just felt like the beginning of the game (I'm guessing because the enemies basically lock to your level when you encounter them). So I started another character and gave it another shot, but never finished because I knew how the main quest ended, and I got bored of all the side quests (and honestly a little creeped out by the facial animations).
Hopefully Skyrim will go a bit better for me, now that I know what kind of a game it is. I'll definitely get it, because Oblivion was still a pretty good game. But, I seem to be into more story driven rpgs, and less the "here's a world, go do shit" rpgs. So, I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution a lot more. Personal preference.
