c-i-g: Nah, this is more of a "need help" thread.
"i like to go with a ninja/assasin type of thing
or like a battle mage (uses magic and swords)
or a quick warrior
any suggestions anyone?" Quick Warrior - Well, hmm, If you want to be agile and swing a sword around, stat appropriately. You're going to need Strength, Endurance, Speed and perhaps some Agility if you have significant points left over to avoid being 'staggered' by enemy blows. If you're using a shield
(probably a given for a quick warrior, not a two-hander) you're actual abilities are going to be something like:
Blade, Block, Light Armor, then just add whatever you feel like
(I'd avoid Mercantile, Speechcraft and as a Warrior, any magic skills as your Major skills) I'd strongly suggest Sneak as a light armor warrior though, sneaking up and doing extra damage with the sneak attack would help you out.
Battle Mage: Well, they have a basic character class you can choose for that
(they probably have one for a 'quick' warrior as well, but battle-mage is a very clear description of the basic class I'm referring to, so you might as well use that) Ninja/Assassin: Well, this game uses a stealth system which has some flaws (if you have ordered the PC version I'd reccomend googling something along the lines of, "Oblivion Stealth mods" to fix some issues such as enemies knowing where you are constantly after your first sneak attack. As for stealth itself, while you can stealth attack with swords
(and not with magic for the record), most assassins
(There is an assassins' guild in the game if you're interested; The Dark Brotherhood. Which is in many people's opinions the best questline in the game.) will be using a bow to fight. You're going to want a set-up along the lines of: Marksman, Light Armor, Sneak, Security and then whatever you wish (Illusion has some good stealth skills, with Acrobatis and Athletics viable Major skills as well). As for stats, you'll need Speed and Agility and the rest is up to you (Probably some endurance as well, for HP).
Hope this helps, please note that there are 21 character classes designed by the developers you can choose from the start, in Oblivion a "Warrior" can decide to randomly throw around Magic, these "classes" are basically just preset templates to use, so you can get going right away.
