Been seriously considering starting a Khajiit character to join the Companions so I can have a cat that turns into a dog. Planning on using hand-to-hand and heavy armor then stacking up magic resistance.
That sounds pretty weird xD
Guy in my sig. He's a live-off-the-land ranger / beastmaster. No magic, no melee, pure archery. Because some opponents are difficult or impossible to kite, I make use of special poisons, particularly slow (my bread and butter) and paralyze. But because the ingredients are limited, you can't spam them every battle like you can with magic spells; you need to reserve them for tough encounters such as bears, sabre cats, bosses, etc. It's really a lot of fun to go from hold to hold collecting special ingredients (marshes around morthal are my favorite spot, due to the abundance of deathbell, which is used for slow poison, and swamp fungal pod, for paralyze poison), including hunting crabs for their chitin and deer for their antlers.
Give it a shot. And if you do, don't take the Ranger perk as it spoils the fun.
Yeah i did something like that, i was a bosmer though

I found Ghostblade very recently, My newest character has been running around using a Novice Destruction spell in one hand and Ghostblade in the other. It is kind of surprising to actually have Mana and Stamina left over after fighting a group of three opponents.
EDIT I also agree with asgard, a sneaky unarmored archer is fun, and can be very challenging.
Ghostblade you say... What's so special about it?
