How do you backstab a Dragon?
On my current runthrough with my Nord spellsword Ingin Thorne, I've been trying to take it slow.
I'm trying to organically grown my stats from an RP perspective.
Knowing that she was relatively weak magically, she spent most of her time building her hard skills until about level 20 (one-handed (39), light-armor (28), sneak (50) and taking archery (63) training from Faendal when she could).
Been working on her smithing and enchanting as well. Smithing is at 51 (with Steel and Elven perks) using a combination of hunting pelts and skins and purchasing leather from vendors and enchanting is at 68 (mostly from making daggers with found soul gems rather than buying) - no perks yet (waiting for 100 and double enchantments).
Now that she's in the mid-20's she's joined the college and is working on her magic as well (68 Conjuration, 57 Illusion, 38 Destruction, 32 Alteration & 26 Restoration) and has taken to using the Bound Bow as her primary sneak weapon. Wearing 50% vampire destruction armor (12%) and an amulet of Akatosh (25%).
I'm making sure that she sleeps at least 8 hours at a stretch, preferably at night, but, if she's been up more than 24 hours, she needs to find an Inn or go home and sleep 8 hours regardless of the time of day.
She must eat 3 times per day if at all possible, although, if wandering the wilds, snacking is fine.
No fast travel, although she uses carriages. No normal person just runs the roads constantly, you know, like she's a jogger?
It's been fun! I'm used to grinding things so it's been an adjustment for things just to grow organically with normal activities and it's been an adjustment to have to actually use strategy and multiple disciplines for survival purposes rather than grind something and beat the crap our of everything with it.
I have a stack of unfinished quests (and unstarted), particularly local ones, but I don't want her running around like a chicken with her head cut off catering to everybody's wants.
Query: I'm currently using an elven war ax of exquisite quality and am about to head in to Bloated Man's (no quest) and am wondering if anyone has opinions on the sword I find there. Is it worth using that instead of the war ax? It won't do as much damage, but it does have some cool affects.
Thoughts?
