Lol I played Daggerfall, Morrowind and most of Oblivion as an archer/assassin.
The main difference is toward the end in Oblivion I started to shoot arrows from stealth and then finish my opponents with melee weapons and shield ( mainly because melee items with charges do the job pretty well too and I was trying to level STR/END).
I have actually never played a true caster or a pure melee in any of the Elder Scroll serie.
Archer is really easy once you learn to shoot and run back...
I can't say level scaling was really an issue as I found myself stopping using poisons toward the end of the game as the enemies were really a bit too easy ( I finished the main quest at level 15).
