Started it as a Heavy Armor/Blocking/Blades Nord, with a 2h Claymore. Killed that bandit ringleader in that Ayleid or whatwasitcalled ruin, got to the ghosts in one of the deeper levels. Yeah, don't try ghosts at level 1.
Been doing quite well. Only level 2 now, but got myself a silver claymore and a bunch of Dwemer armor pieces from two dead raiders i found, after i killed off the bandits, that had taken them. Feels good man.
