Ok I'm trying to build a character around Victor Creed (A.K.A Sabretooth the x-men villain) I'm not trying to build it around his abilities so much as his personality. I'm thinking Nord and either dual wielding swords or going two handed, and light armor. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

A Khajiit seems more sensible.

A burly Khajiit wearing fur armour, possibly leaning towards an unarmed berzerker-type

cool thanks for the input, any ideas for skills?

He's a psychological manipulator, so I'd say Speech. Lockpick, because every time he gets locked up he ends up breaking out. He really only ever uses hand to hand, but he is a hunter-tracker, so I'd say Marksman?

Also, do the Dark Brotherhood. Sabertooth was originally a serial killer and had no mutant abilities.

definitely khajit with the fortify unarmed enchantment, they use their claws instead of fists like sabertooth

Create a Nord, give him the largest body type and make him really swarthy. I don't remember Sabretooth from the comics but if you want to look liek Liev Schreiber give him a rough beard and a buzzcut. Dual-wield axes or swords and use restoration. Use Light Armor and Enchanting for Stamina and Health Regen. Also, become a Werewolf.

I think the whole goal of your build should be to create a fast-paced character. One that kills fast, manuevers fast and recovers fast.

That's more along the lines of what I was thinking Eagle. I agree a Kajiit going unarmed would be more like him ability wise but a nord looks more like him appearance wise. I'm thinking what you said plus the speech mainly for intimidate, and lockpick cause he does escape EVERYTHING in the comics, like Ryan Reefer said.
