How should I play my Argonian?

Hi there. I was just wondering if it was possible to play as an Unarmed Argonian on Master difficulty?

Argonian are one of my favourite races and I am keen to make one. I've made a pure warrior, mage and a stealth assassin (archer & dagger).

Now I want to make an Argonian but I am having trouble deciding how to play. I have been thinking about going Unarmed as I believe Argonians with their sharp claws, tail and scales should be great at unarmed combat. But I don't know if this build is doable on master. I don't want it to be a tedious hit and run melee character like my warrior was. On master my warrior took forever to kill anything. I had to take a few swipes and maybe a shield bash or two between hits before I had to run. Then I'd be hitting a few times then running. I was kiting as a melee character. It was fun at first but started to become tedious as enemies got much more difficult. I ended up spend 30+ hits to kill anything.

So basically, is an Unarmed Argonian able to be successful on Master Difficulty? What about a mix of Unarmed and Stealth?

I also thought about making my Argonian a shadowscale and role-playing that way which I think would be fun. But I don't know how to role-play him like this. I also thought of a jack-of-all-trades character, An argonian that does everything.

I also read the two Elder Scrolls novels by Greg Keyes. I really loved them and Mere-Glim was awesome. He really made my like for Argonians go up. The way his claws were sharp was cool and neat. Also reading about how the Hist made the Argonians battle ready through the tree sap or something to make them stronger was awesome too.

I'm thinking about playing on Master since I have always played Skyrim like this, but I don't know if it is actually challenging or if it is more of a tedious game. My archer/assassin on Master was great as it was challenging at first, though he did become a little too powerful in the end and the game became a cakewalk. My mage I made recently is great, it's a challenge right now because I die so easily but I don't have the tedious slow fights that take forever to kill anything right now, unlike my pure warrior which I gave up on as it was a tedious game.

Thanks.

Eh, I don't think unarmed is the best way to go on Master, considering there's no skill for it anymore.

Agreed. Want to play unarmed, and have fun, then play on Adept or Expert.
