So I accidentally deleted my Orc Warrior with maxed Smithing, so i was trying to figure out what my next character should be.

When I am not playing a Breton Mage, I normally play a Kajhit Archer/Assassin/Thief. I was trying out the Orc because I had recently installed Complete Crafting Overhaul and wanted to try it out. The only other character that I have saved at the moment is an Imperial Thief, just for something different.

Sounds like you primarily enjoy magic and thief based archtypes. Why not combine them with a Nightblade? One-handed, light armor, sneaking, illusion magic. Khajit or Breton could work with this just fine, Khajit for the sneak and night support, Breton for the magic and defensive support.

Redguard Heavy-Armour Crossbow archer.

It'll be different. :)

@noobishlord Nightblade isn't a bad idea, I usually run a Dunmer Vampire (Dampire), since the bonuses seem to function well together.

I do primarily enjoy magic based characters with stealth being my second favorite way to go. I was debating whether to make two polls, one for race, and one for play style, but I decided to combine both at the expense of details (on the play style that is).

I was going to give the poll a couple more days before I make up my mind.

To the person who said Argonian Warrior, I salute you. One of my favorite characters in Oblivion was an Argonian Knight.

When in doubt, Argonian out.

I've always had a thing for those duelist type characters. I generally keep them under the warrior archetype, but essentially a decent (quick) one handed weapon and light armour, dodging blows, think of Bronn from Game of Thrones. Redguards seem to work well with that sort of style.

90% of the time my characters are Nords.

On Xbox, my characters are usually Nord male warriors/fighters.

On PC, my first character is usually a Nord male warrior. Subsequent characters are usually Nord female mages/magic-users, because the great majority of cool mods available are targeted at female player characters.
