Default Blade, Blunt, Marksman, Magic, or Thief?

Which is better? Cutting your way through hordes Goblins with a Longsword, pounding the sh*t out of an Ogre with a warhammer, raining arrows down on a group of Bandits with a bow, pelting a Troll with fireballs, or backstabbing an unsespecting Marauder while in stealth mode? (Basically, which is both a fun and good skill to play with, swords, blunt weapons, bows, magic, or stealth?)

I go with blades, since they seem to be a little better than blunt weapons. Bows and arrows just seem to be way too underpowered. I don't play good with stealth and magic has its uses.

And here's little....."Mini-Thread". What's the most annoying enemy in the game? I have to say Bears, Spriggans, Ogres, and Land Dreughs. Bears make the most annoying sound in the history of history. Spriggans never shut the f*ck up with they're constant laughing. And worse yet, they even summon an ever annoying bear! Ogre's are retarded and also make very annoying sounds and Land Dreughs are annoying because they have a freakin rhythm to their footsteps! If you haven't noticed, listen carefully the next time you encounter one. Boars do the same thing but they're not too annoying.

Oh and if you want you can comment on what's better, Heavy armor or Light armor, but I suppose once you're master in both it doesn't really matter.

Should have made a poll.... But blade is best, and most annoying enemy is the clannfear.

Heavy armor is better.

I go with bow and arrow and some stealth. It's not underpowered if you get the stealth modifier... and a nice headshot through the eye socket. That's just satisfying.

And I agree with badhairday about the clannfears. -_-

generally, i use a sword when i have decent health, magic when my fatigue starts to get low, and arrows when i have low health.

heavy armor is the best because my character can run like hell, even with full deadric, 20 different weapons, and an inventory full of potions and tools to make potions. hes also a decent acrobat with all that on. in otherwords: HEAVILY ARMORED NINJA CARRYING OVER 500 (whatever the unit of weight is in oblivion) FTW!!!!

and the most annoying creature ever is....*drum roll*.... unfortunatly not in oblivion ^_^ (unless its in the shivering isles which i havent played yet *goes and prays there arent any cliff racers in shivering isles*)

Best skill? I'd have to say sword and board. But with a cutlass instead of a long sword My stealth skill isn't bad though - I won't steal from the Imperial Palace, but I can still sneak around a store and murder the shopkeeper without any worry of arrest ("Your murder has been witnessed by forces unknown"? You mean the Dark Brotherhood... I hope.)

Most annoying enemy, I'd have to agree with the evil cliff racers. But if it had to be from Oblivion, then I'd say clanfear or scamp
