Race: Nord (Badass Viking time)
Only use your fists. You'll want to get the Gloves of the Pugilist from Gian the Fist as soon as you can. He is located in the RatWay in Riften. You'll also want to level up Heavy Armor so you can get the perk to add damage if you're wearing Heavy Armor Gauntlets. Then you'll want to grind smithing and get the Daedric Armor, upgrade the Daedric Armor, and then you have the ultimate badass Viking.
