a battlemage Redguard?
Redguard's are one of the worst races to choose when you want to be a mage, right?

Bah, there's nothing to stop me from being a Wood-Elf Barbarian! It's just going to get a bit more difficult

(Ok, I admit, it was a while ago I played morrowind, I'm getting rusty...)
Yeah, I used to pick the exact opposite race to make it a lot more of a challenge.
But now they've ironed out any inbalance so even experienced Morrowind players wont smash-n-grab as clutter has a value of 0, and Acrobatics doesn't level as fast for pointless jumps and Athletics not as fast for random sprints, so no one will Run-n-Jump.
They put a lot of time into making it so that people will play it as if they were a resident of Cyrodiil rather than someone who is actually superior to everyone else in no time at all... Now you need to work for that!
