I torture them a bit use the cast fear on them, then I would hunt them down and kill them. I would revive them after then kill them again just so I can turn their bodies to ash (and sometimes I'll teabag their ashes if they made a racist comment at my Argonian).

Either zapping them to death or cleave all their heads off the bone...I always leave the Thalmor agents naked, they don't deserve dignity.
A hero can be anyone, even a man doing some as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know the world hadn't ended.

Man, he is my favourite character by far!
For me, normally a mace to the skull or a frenzy spell is enough. Nothing fancy really... ;)

Sorry for having the unforunate talent of being the necromancer (reviving topic). But I found it a better option than making a new topic.
I often encounter simple bandits, you know the kind that takes a mere whack to fell. And they say things like I can't wait to count out your coin, or you'll make a fine rug cat.
Are those bandits unaware that they stand no chance vs my/your character? or are they trying fruitlessly to intimidate you?
I'm like I'm a level 25 warrior in flawless dwarven armor and with a big hammer. And you're a scrawny bosmer in a hide cloth, that hasn't bathed or fed in days, trying to wound me with your silly wooden bow and iron arrow.. You know how DARE YOU Dare you defy me?!!

:roll: I digress...
Kinda wish bandits could come to know and fear you.
rant end. :P
Sometimes I go to (against bandit archer) you know those things don't hurt me, they're your arrows, not mine, why would you give them to me? :P

As a vampire lord, i walk slowly towards the bandit archer, laughing every time a puny arrow strikes me, and i watch him back up frantically as i get ever closer, then i finish him with a bite. That, or i vampire grip them and launch them high in the air so they fall to their death.

I put poke holes with a dagger, but I usually go to great lengths to ensure I get the throat-slitting finishing move by trying to separate any that are too close together so I can sneak up behind them. I also take strange delight in dumping their bodies in rivers when possible, I just wish bodies were easier to move and more rivers flowed in the right direction… otherwise, off a cliff or into a fire, though the latter only highlights the fact that bodies don't burn automatically without mods (a no-go for XBox), bah!

Otherwise, tearing the whole camp/dungeon to pieces as a vampire lord isn't a bad option either.

A war axe to the face is my preferred option for dealing with bandits.Although i am tempted to go dead thrall on them when i raise my conjuration.

Go vampire lord on them, suck them dry, strip their corpses, reanimate them and parade them naked through the streets of Whiterun.
Eine insel mit nur einem berg, doch der ist innen heiß
Und spuckt asche, pest und corprus, wo kein mensch 'ne kur für weiß -
Ja, wie mag die insel heißen, von Vivec bis Dagon Fel?
Jeder sollte einmal reisen in das schöne Vvardenfell!
