My sword and board (shield) paladin type character was probably my most powerful and also the one that got the most repetitive in the mid to late game. Just about every single fight was the same, run up, shield bash, slice and dice, bash again, finisher, done. It was very effective and very boring after awhile as nothing can really hurt you once you get your skills and equipment up to par but all the fights and encounters are very much the same as all the ones that came before.
My mage/thief Nightblade character, on the other hand, has been the most fun of all the characters I've tried. He can tackle the quests, encounters, and dungeons of the gameworld all sorts of different ways and believe me I've tried many of them so he never gets boring. I just did one of the latter Theives Guild quests last night that is supposedly nearly impossible to do non-violently without using some form of Invisibility and did so in this "impossible" fashion. Took a long time and a lot of patience on my part but I got through it without any hositle action or enemy deaths. Felt rather proud of him and myself after that one I have to admit.
