Are you a blade-wielding warrior or the archer in the shadows?

I started out as a two-handed warrior type. I always liked to carry a bow and arrow set on me though and take out a few people before I start attacking. Lately though, my bow and sneak skills have grown so much I tend to be able to clear out multiple rooms without ever being detected. I now have thrown a dagger in the mix since I now have the 15x bonus with daggers. Combined with my helmet and gauntlets of archery, and my boots and ring of sneak I can kick a lot of arse :p

Then if things get hairy, I'll switch to all my heavy armor and go to town :D
 
I found out something today, maybe you already know this but I think it's pretty cool.
If you have the perk that makes your armour weigh nothing if you wear an entire matching set, no matter how many more pieces of that same type of armour you carry in your inventory, it weighs nothing as well.
So you are able to make and enchant different copies of said armour. For example. I have a set of dragonscale gauntlets with archery enchantments on them, but I also carry gauntlets and boots with one-handed enchantments that I switch to when I need to fall back onto my sword. Carry weight, nothing.
 
Like Usually, My character started as Two handed and light armor.After some levels, enemies where too powerfull, so She started sneaking with bow.

Now she carry Bow, poisons, two onehanded swords with paralyze and soultrap plus Two handed daeric sword.

She like slit throats in darkness or shoot arrows where enemies cant see or reach her.

Just in case low level bandits get DualWielder or frenzied running twohanded barbarianchick.

In legendary settings and level 118 she sneaked naked with dualwielding and slit throats of all bandits in one cave, Ninja silent rolling.

Now she learning some magic, skills between 30 - 60. Sneak 100, Pickpocket 92, Lockpick 100, alchemy 11 x legendary, Twohanded 86, onehanded 80, Lightarmour 80, heavyarmor 30 etc
 
Sahdira fights as most Khajiit do: surprise them from the shadows then run and attack again when she has the advantage. She prefers her bow. Blades splatter too much blood into her fur. Do you know how hard it is to clean blood out of fur? Sahdira does.
 
I am the marksman, whether it be arrow,bolt,or an ice spike to the face,I avoid open combat whenever possible, striking and sinking into the shadows. Keep a spare blade for those jobs that require a personal touch,and illusion to sow discord among crowds.
 
6 or this - 1/2 a dozen of the other. I do both actually - depending on the situation and the quest I'm on. Example: when dealing with the Alik'r for the quest involving the foreign girl, I take out the bandits with stealth and then switch to a 2 handed to take on the Alik'r. Just sayin' :)
