Kohlar the Unkilled
Time for some ale
Recent discussions of difficulty settings prompted me to create a new character, and initiate my quest on Master. I've never been a Khajiit, or a thief, so that's what I picked. Of course, I'll do things the way I see fit, but I wouldn't mind some suggestions from some of the experienced thieves out there. Note that I have completed both the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines on a previous character, but I've NEVER put a single perk into sneak. This time I intend to be sneaky. There will be NO enchanting. No perks will be put into smithing. I'll use what ever weapons and armor that I'm lucky enough to find, or rich enough to afford. I'm undecided about alchemy, but am leaning against it, (just because I've always used it). Perks will go to one-handed, light armor, sneak, archery, some block, and eventually speech and lockpicking.
Here's what I've done so far:
Activated thief stone right away. Got mission to Bleakfalls, but decided to join up with the Thieves Guild first and get my armor. Did that, killed Grelod, and that's where I'm at. My next move is Bleakfalls, so I can get my thuum. I'm going to need it.
I don't want to progress much further in the Guild yet since finding out that all the nightingale stuff is leveled, and without enchanting it's some of the best stuff I'll be able to get. I want to work on my sneak and archery before joining the DB. I hadn't planned on using magic, but many utilize illusion for such a build... would or wouldn't you, and if so what perks? What else would you do, or not do?
