Always pick the Atronach as your sign. It has spell absorption, big mana boost, and the not-regen while resting thing is really moot. Just use potions, there's no need to rest really.
Redguard is a very good race. Adrenaline Rush rules. If you come up against a monster you keep getting killed at, Adrenaline Rush will trivialize the encounter. It's probably one of the best racial abilities in the game. Orcs Berserk is pretty good too.
Long Blade is probably your best bet for a good weapon choice. Good damage, good speed, and the option of 1 or 2 handed weapons is wide. There are TONS of Long Blades in the game. Get Block if you plan on using 1 handers, but it's not really necessary.
You don't need any magic skills. You can find enough potions/scrolls throughout the game that you won't miss magic at all. Having Destruction can help if you come up against a character who's wearing some beefy armor or blocks a lot. I never use it though.
Marksman is a great skill also. Sort of hard to raise, but well worth it, especially if you are playing a Thief class with Sneak. When Sneaked you have a very good chance of critical hitting an opponent if she/he is not aware of you.
For a Thief/Archer I would pick Wood Elf. For any sort of melee class I would pick Redguard. For a Magic user I would pick Dark Elf. High Elves are basically worthless, their minus to magic resistances is a terrible racial trait. Imperials are a decent race also.
I preferr the Thief. It's a lot easier to progress through the game, and the Thief quests are the funnest out there. Especially the Morag Tong quests, those are great. Have fun with this game, it's an awesome experience.
