Assuming you do. Do you just stand there, and hit? Do you slide around, and run about? Do you jump up in the air, sneak about--or what?

I just stand there, swing and hit. I don't care for ranged weapons, and I don't do much in the way of spells, except for healing and bound item. I'll do a bit of maneuvering, but not much.

well usually ill jump around and slide to the right and to the left but right now im playing a straight mage... Boy this is really hard, lol

I like doing anything that'll make me laugh like crazy. (it doesn't take much) like sometimes if I'm fighting someone, I'll all of a sudden use my very awesome, extremely powerful jump/slowfall spell, so I can be like "oh look! Up in the sky! It's a bird... it's a plane, no, it's beornica who's gonna kick your __ !" (sighhh. What a geek.)

I usually circle around my victim and try to aim for the assumed heart

Melee? Are you nuts? That's dangerous! Why do you think they invented Daedric longbows?!

Usually I play the 'hit - draw back'-game. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes I get slain...

Well, getting slain is all part of, er, living.

that reminded me of the first several times i got into the meele fight....but thats the definition of it, fable

i usually try to entertain myself....in&out tactic...try and hit me...aiming to the vital organs (not that it makes any differance, a pitty that one)....generally FUN in fighting - thats the cue

One of my characters is a spear master. Keeping enemies out of hit range is always nice.

I sneak up on 'em and whack them, or shoot 'em. Not many things survive the first hit. *grins evilly*

Exactly! Let's hear it for us backstabbers, snipers and other yellowbellies! *grins evilly too*

Depends on which weapon I am using.

If something big like a longsword or an axe I just hack at them untill they are dead.

If I'm using a shorsword, I sneak then backstab then, then quickly cast invisibility on myself and watch the poor bastard run around like crazy trying to find me, and then I repeat the procedure again.

My current character is very weak, so she conjures up a ghost to keep the bad guy busy, moves to the side, then empties out her collection of enchanted rings at the poor slob....

1. Gulp an appropriate potion (if it seems necessary)
2. Prepare an opening-volley scroll, enchanted item or (rarely) a spell (if it seems necessary)
3. Attack/defend with magic
4. Switch to longsword
5. Hit.
6. Back off (or up) to try to avoid their swing.
7. Rush forward (or down) swinging
8. Repeat Steps 5-7.

...well since I'm a vampire who uses his fists to fight. I usually punch them slide to the side and run back a few steps, untill my cool down is done and I can swing again. Then I punch them as I'm moving forward, then move a few steps back as my arm retracts. Or I just burn them with my fireball ring...

I think you should probably play more strategy games then rpgs, with your style.

Huh?

I mean, I do like some of the strategy games I've played, and I've like the two console rpgs I've played, but how does my playing style seem to match strategy games and how does it vary from rpg playing styles>?

I think he means that the fact that your have such a detailed strategy is the reason why you should be a strategy player.
