Builds and playstyle variety?

[Mike]

So I'm interested in this game as I have been wanting a more classic Elder scrolls experience for a while now. I know 1.0 is still on the way but to those who played EA how its build variety, playstyle variety and the depth of the RPG/stats systems?

I just picked up the game, after playing the demo. So far cool surprise, even though I had uninstalled the demo it imported my save from the demo and I was able to continue playing. So far going slow on levelling, there seems to be a lot of skills, though I suspect that having a more focused build might make it overall more powerful. Melee seems to be pretty good but if you don't have some skills towards it, it can be punishing. Fighting multiple enemies at the same time is rough if you are squishy. I might restart and try and pure melee build and see how it plays. So far I am more of an archer/mage the only success I have right now is stealth archery and then I switch to fire bolt/mace combo when I am forced to fight.

Cool so the usual of these types of games where you can focus on melee, ranged, magic or a mix of the 3. Like I said it looks good but I will probably hold off until 1.0 because it seems there are some big changes coming up ;)
