Deliveries or Death?

I was curious, do you prefer non-murderous quests, such as, fetching a book for the Mages Guild, or, death-involving quests, like, hunting down a witch for the Imperial Cult?

I'm not a huge fan of killing stuff, one bad incident with a cliff racer (levitation should last longer and cliff racers should die easier

) scarred me for life

. The Thieves Guild quests are fun, and you usually don't have to stick a knife in someone's neck, except for those few quests with Jim Stacey. It's sort of fun to completely rob someone's home, sell the loot, then buy training for everything and THEN go finish the main quest. This is all my opinion, of course.

I've never made a huge tank of power, mostly because I can't stand not being able to take things out from under people's noses or levitate over a big body of water to take a short cut (swimming takes longer

). What do you guys think?

I try always training the skills nevertheless. And (cheesy) i go for blunt and short blades. So that when I need to beat harder it will be knocked down. For example, now my character has 50 short blade and 100 in blunt. I'm now training a lot of magic, playing mage all the time. When I start tribunal I'll be training long sword and reaching 100 at short blade. After 70 long sword I'll head back to magic again. But just to be able to kill without relying on magic and stealth always.

So, um...
Which do you prefer?

I missed it if you answered my original question.

Depends on wich part of the game I am

At fist, hack and slash. After that, sneaking/using magic/negotiation is funnier.

I definetely enjoy using my pc's security and sneak skills, if only to avoid a fight. However, I'm also a fan of the Morag Tong quests where you have to use a fair amount of sneaking to assassinate people. That's why my Marksmansip skill is fairly high

Deliveries. And you are acquitted of all murders committed in the name of the Morag Tong.

A lot of jobs for the Morag Tong require stealth. If you just walk up to your victim and kill him for all to see, familymembers and bystanders will try to intervene.

Most of the time, they don't. And if they do, so much the better - more loot.

I don't mind whichever, as long as they do not involve "travelling together".

I hate escort someone to somewhere quests...
