Alright, thanks for the input. I decided to go with all the unofficial patches + supplement patches in addition to OOO. It seemed like a solid mod that offered game play improvements that sounded better than vanilla. Created my very own Dark Elf 'Deathmage', birth sign Atronach, Specialization Combat, primary attributes Strength and Intelligence and primary skills Destruction, Blunt, Blade, Alchemy, Restoration, Marksman, Heavy Armor. I'll sneak around with a bow, fire an arrow, proceed to attack using magic spells and finally crush some skulls with whatever blade or blunt weapon I might have found :D Wonder how it will work out, should be fun :-)
