I have to disagree, I think you can still play almost anything and have it be viable. I usually play humans. I'll admit I'm usually not committed enough to a run to minmax, but when I am, I do the trick where you go out into the wilderness and wrestle birds for a while. The end result quickly develops maxed out physical attributes and combat skills, and then it's easy enough to steal some decent armor. Grappling is still dangerous, but if I can't break the grapple normally, putting a sword through the opponent's head or neck usually kills them or paralyzes them into letting go. If I want even more power after that, I can get vampirism, necromancy, and/or a swarm of followers to soak up hits.
Even after all that, there's still a chance of randomly dying from an unlucky wound, but that's always been true.
