I think this class wasn't a good choice in Oblivion either. It is the Spellsword who disperses his efforts too much trying to be a mage AND a warrior and investing perks in magic, armor, weapons, block, etc. Other choices, still in the vein of the old Oblivion classes, are being a Sorcerer (a mage who uses heavy armor but otherwise is only magical), or a Battlemage (a mage who also is good with a sword but nothing else and wears no armor, something like Gandalf). Ordinator and Apocalypse actually seem to promote this. Even more, it is a good idea to concentrate for instance in being a destroyer or a conjurer, and even further down choose between being a fire mage or electrical mage, or between a necromancer or an atromancer. Sure, but you still need to concentrate early on on being a specialist. So, even though Skyrim has done away with classes, they're still there under the hood if you want to do well. Doing much worse than if I had concentrated in being just a squishy mage, or just a sword-and-armor warrior. My character is neither a good mage nor a good warrior. Well I'm level 15 and already smelling disaster. Investing more or less the same in magic and in combat skills, and spreading my points in Magicka, Health and Stamina. Someone who is a magic user but also uses armor and weapons more or less on a half and half basis. This comes up because I decided to be a spellsword, modeled on that class of the old games (Morrowind and Oblivion). Sure eventually if you max out the character you will have total perks in all skills and then will truly be a master of everything, but let's think early to midgame. So you invest most of your perks in skills worthy of your choice and use armor, weapons and skills appropriately. For example, in this playthrough I'll be a mage, or a thief, or a warrior.
