So, I've been Playing Skyrim for quite awhile, started multiple new characters and can't seem to find a character that makes me interested as I was at the start. So after thinking for awhile about some unique class set-ups I figured that a character that would normally carry around a shield and for the other hand use the Conjuration spells. The only other things I know about it would be using heavy armor and Restoration. Can anyone else help and come up with some ideas for this character? I think that it could be a very interesting class to go with. Thank you.

Why not try some vampirism?

I tried a necro-knight class a couple of characters ago, only problem was choosing which of the 3 attributes to lvl up each time but apart from that it was pretty damn fun.

He was Redguard with; 1 handed, conjuration, block, heavy armour, smithing, enchanting and restoration. Ended up having too little stamina for quite a while though which was bloody annoying

I've never really tried the vampirism trait, it sounds interesting but the idea of all people spurning you kinda makes me sad. It could definetly be worth a try, especially the health stealing spell, that could definetly come in handy. Thanks man.

A Necro-Knight huh? That could be an amazing combination with .joe.'s idea of vampirism. The only thing that would be tough would be killing someone to be able to reanimate their corpse with only a shield. Not impossible, just a little tough but with heavy armor damage wouldn't really be a problem. Thanks bro.

I'll be honest I have tried several 'interesting' characters, but they never seem to be able to make the long haul. Your basic Nord warrior with a shield and sword/axe seems the easiest to carry the day and see the game to the end.

Play a drunk only fight with your hands, only use ragged cloths (no enchanting), need to have han alchohol affect active at least once every irl 5 min. Put all points into stamina so you can "hold your liquer" (need to cary quite a lot to keep the alchohol effect up) and no magic or shouts

Well I've seen the game to the end, quite a bit of times so I wanted to play the game where I only run around and do what I want with no real direction or purpose excpet for finding loot. But thanks man.

Oh my God Sokjal, that would be insane. I will definetly give that a try, sounds like a hell of a good time.

if you want a really good time you should play on master, that or you will start to hate me pretty soon

Hahaha, I thought about that, I'm not sure how fast a drunk Nord with raggity clothes would last, even against a simple bandit. But at least after awhile I could run away from danger, granted I don't stumble in my drunken stupor.

How much were you going to increase your magicka by? It seems like you would use it often. Stamina for shield bashing would be a good addition too.
