I thought I'd make a fun, stealthy build for my second character as my first one is a breton spellcaster specializing in destruction, conjuration and alteration.

I'll put all my attribute points into stamina.

I think this will work really well. I'll use archery and one handed to kill enemies after I pickpocket their items, armor and weapons

Sometimes I'll like sneak up to enemies and poison them with the poison perk

I'll only do the DB and TG quests and ignore mostly anything else that can't be done stealthily. And I'll play on master.

Archery is gonna be a bit weak late game, but you could just switch to daggers once you get your sneak level high enough.

He isn't putting any points into smithing or archery.... so yeah.

He does have alchemy though. Fortify Marksmanship/Poisons Vs harder targets, and fortify smithing to raise base damage?

Of course, without any of the Archery tactical perks either he's not going very far, even a purist rogue could make good use of eagle eye/steady hand

It was incredibly difficult sneaking past those brutes in the ratway. I'll have to hire a mercenary to help me and I'll give him plenty of healing potions.

Or, get some necro spells, if you're dabbling in Conjuration, get some decoys rolling

My favourite part was where you posted a picture of a weapon that's obviously been made using an exploit to prove your point. Good one.

just because you master a skill and make a good weapon from it does not make it an exploit

That is an excellent hunting bow.

So far I'm doing well. I hired Marcurio from the bee and barb and gave him plenty of health and magicka potions. I also equipped him with some items which reduce destruction magic cost. He just killed three thugs in half a minute

the only thing that could top that would be to play dead is dead

how do you play dead is dead??

Exactly as it sounds, if your Character dies by means other than buggyness, you discontinue that Char and pluck his/her epitaph on the relevent thread ;p

My sneak and pickpocket is at 100. In the abandoned shack I stole astrid's blade of woe and her four armor pieces before I killed those three prisoners and joined the DB.

I can't imagine starting over because of doing dead is dead...

Dead is dead sounds like a chore though. Eventually you will encounter that same enemy who killed you and you'll have to find a way to kill them... or eventually you will learn to be careful where you walk to avoid stepping off a cliff...
