* Redguard is by far the best race with their weapon bonuses. Some may disagree, but I found magic other than alchemy and restoration pretty worthless. You are pretty much always better off just whacking stuff to death. On thing note however, some key spells you will need are Mark/Recall (for getting back to your cache when you are over burdened with loot) and soul trap. | * Redguard is by far the best race with their weapon bonuses.

* Enchanted weapons are pretty powerful (especially with a paralyze enchantment or damage spell on hit) but a backup weapon is always a good idea. Buying stuff tends to be expensive, but typically it is decently easy to steal (save first) or get better stuff from wandering in the wilderness. Very powerful early game gear can be gotten by defeating Umbra (bring a couple scrolls of paralyze otherwise he is pretty hard) or simply by stealing the sword of white woe from one of the guard houses in Balmora (I forget which one - look it up)[Editor's note: it's in the Eastern Tower] | * Enchanted weapons are pretty powerful (especially with a paralyze enchantment or damage spell on hit) but a backup weapon is always a good idea.

* In place of spells, always carry potions (healing, ect) that produce the desired effect since they can be used durning a pause in the middle of the battle. Alchemy is an excellent way of getting potions cheaply. | * In place of spells, always carry potions (healing, ect) that produce the desired effect since they can be used durning a pause in the middle of the battle.
