Has anyone thought of making a breton warrior?

It sounds kinda weird at first but I made one and the character is doing really well. A level 33 breton badass. Major skills: Armorer, Blade, Athletics, Block, Destruction, Restoration, Heavy Armor.

After this many years I think it's safe to say that people have played every possible combination of race and skill selection. :)

I started with a Breton not so long ago...

Well you are level 33 so it is too late anyways, but having Athletics as a major can make you gain levels too soon and can cause problems.

When I first played the game I went with the Warrior default class. Big mistake.

Just doing the tutorial and exploring, I gained almost a whole level with Athletics alone.

There were times I forced myself to walk or sneak everywhere I couldn't ride a horse, so I wouldn't gain Athletics skill because it kept making me gain levels and my strengh and endurance suffered. It was such a hassle I started over.

You are level 33, so perhaps you didn't have a problem with Athletics gimping your other major skills, but it made my character weaker than I liked.

There are a handful of skills I would never use as majors. Acrobatics, Athletics, Security, and to a lesser extent Sneak, which is debatable depending on your character class.

I prefer to be able to run, jump, pick locks, and sneak around as much as I want without gaining levels prematurely so I can focus on more important skills.

It doesn't really matter which major skills you take, it determines your end-game attributes and your starting bonuses. Making a Breton warrior will result in a weak start and later on you'll be indestructible. You can even get a 100% magic resistance, one of the reasons why Bretons are considered the most powerful race in Oblivion. I made a lot of them in the past, my favorite race were Bretons. Mostly hybrids though.

I actually made the character so he can power level. But I am at the point where its harder to level since i maxed out armorer, heavy armor, and blade. Plus I maxed out the endurance, strength, and willpower. So what I do is increase my minor skills so I can still level up efficiently. I actually found security kinda worthless, because at level 10 you can get the skeleton key. And sneak doesn't really work for my character since I ususally like to tank everything xD. What do you think about blunt should i use that for a future warrior character?

Bretons are by far my favorite race in any elder scrolls game, the magic resistance is just amazing and makes you durable no matter the class.

As any melee using character, (sword, blunt, hand to hand) you should train the minor skills of other melee, merely to insure +5 stregth boosts every level. (At least until you have natural 100 str)
