The Imperious Races Mod has given me a newfound respect for the Imperial Race. Every 10 levels you can alter different attributes and resistances. With Alteration (Ordinator), you can further pump up those resistances. I have been tinkering with the idea of creating a character that is essentially there to establish a new identity. One scenario is of a younger guy who is fleeing Cyrodiil because of the growing unrest in the province. Another is of an older guy who used to be a soldier, but was caught in a shipwreck and the trauma caused him to repress the memories of his past, and falsely believes the dreams he had while unconscious to be his identity. He is going through a very traumatic process, as he is an older man who knows how to fight with a sword, yet he believes himself to be an old wizard. The Andromeda Stones is perfect for this, as the Apprentice Stone makes magic either more or less effective depending on chance. 

Right. It's the mmo element I'm not really used to. I often help people out, so I can't really complain, but I do dislike the pets and the summons that follow you around everywhere.

@Patriarch I'm exaggerating a bit, but it did happen a couple of times with my Nightblade. I see two or three other players in a group and they all have pets and one guy had a bear.

It's always fun sneaking up to an enemy and some other player attacks it instead. Thanks, asshole who has seventeen pets and five summoned scamps.

Gods, no! There are two classes that use summoning, and while I have not played as a Warden, I think the Summoning line for the Sorcerer class sucks. The best thing about being able to summon creatures in other games is that they are typically on screen for a short period of time. The summons on ESO follow you around and get in the way. A necromancer could be handy against a group of enemies, but by the time you raise a corpse or two, the remaining enemies are either too weakened, or you are nearly dead.
