Anyways I'm planning on making a class where I'm a Light Armored adventurer with one War Axe (no dual wielding although that may change) and a bow and arrow. I'll sneak but I'll still fight when put into a situation and I'm not a thief/assassin. I plan to be quick on my feet.

So, Scout or Ranger? Yes I will hunt also and sell the meat and hides I recover to the milk drinker shopkeepers who are too scared to venture into the plains, forests, and tundra.

Also, is one War Axe sufficient for battle or does Skyrim force you to dual wield or use a shield to be effective with one-handed weapons? How is it compared to blocking with a shield or two-handed? Yes, I plan on smithing.
