Most enjoyable class to play?

Hi there, pretty much created this thread to get some peoples opinions on fun/enjoyable class(s) to play as I got to level 20 with my heavy armor 2 handed orc and got kinda bored of just bashing skulls with warhammers etc.. I was thinking maybe a sneaky assassin type class, but mage and archer seemed kinda sweet too. Anyways I would appreciate it if you guys could give me a fun class to play/why it's fun to play. Also the race/specs of the class would be awesome too, thanks in advance :)
 
I go back and forth, I've played heavy armor specialists and light armor specialist. One thing that remains consistent though is my preference for weapons over magic, so I've never really played an all out wizard.
 
My favorite so far as been an Archer type character. Nothing like hitting a target from yards way in the face. That or a my Nercomage shooting a Firebolt, sending the target flying, then to add to the insult, Thrall them and have them protect me! *cue evil laugh* ;)
 
I usually gravitate towards the thief/assassin type characters using bows and daggers. Bows are definitely going to be fun, but if your sneak is high enough you can do some really enjoyable backstab kills with all types of daggers which most people generally ignore. The wood elf is a really good choice for this character (small, good with bows, and sneaky) or a dark elf. I've also had an Imperial sneak character when I was sick of elven characters, I figured he could be a thief since he was from one of Tamriel's most prosperous and large cites, and plus they are pretty small too. It doesn't really matter which race you choose, but I would highly recommend a thief/assassin character playthrough at least once because it's so much different than the epic hero Dragonborn style playthrough.
 
I have fun with a vampire spell blade type. At level 20 you have the nice 1H / Archery kill moves along with the magic kills. Just don't ask me to block since the left hand is a spell and the right a blade. The vampire sneaking and archery fit nicely together too for those silent kills.
 
I'm really kinda torn between a good old sword and board type and an illusion assassin. I really get a thrill out of bashing my opponent's face in with a shield and winning with pure force and will power. But still, illusion magic is so much fun to play around with. And who doesn't enjoy slashing an unknowing victim's jugular?

Played them all, most two or three times.

Sword and board, heavy armor, restoration Paladin type...Prob a Nord

or

Thief/Assassin, sneak, archery, 1h, shield, light armor, alchemy, smithing, restoration. Breton (kinda hard but really fun)
 
Argonian by far, able to search for sunken treasure underwater, sneak up on people while underwater (easiest way), water travel is the safest, and they look very cool. Khajit are my 2nd because the way they speak is pretty cool, they get Night Eye which is helpful since most of my traveling time happens to be at night or dark dungeons. They are both great with thief/assassin builds which I like to turn to as well. After Khajit will have to be Imperial since their luck in money and their Emperor's voice comes in handy quite a lot.
 
i think redguard is awesome. the Adrenaline rush is perfect for a rogue build (funny enough if you pplayed WoW) full perks in Stealth combined with boosted stam for one min can be Brutal for rolling around and assasinating doezens of enemies or combat fighing with a dual wield power attack build. Also their war pain is badass
 
My favorites so far are my Breton Spellsword, Dunmer Pyromancer, and a Bosmer Archer
