I haven't tried it, but a Drizzt character would be pretty easy.
One Handed for duel weilding
Light Armor
Archery
Illusion
Sneak
You can get skimitars from some quest you get from the redguard girl in the tavern in Whiterun,
but they're big clunky persian style ones. The ebony sword is slightly curved and the designs
seem more drowish (I guess), so I would just duel wield those.
Light Armor. If you want to look rangery, use hide armor. That armors not really strong, so put
some time into smithing and make it nice and strong. If you want to have drowish armor, the
nightingale armor you get after completing the theives guild is good. The interwoven chains
even look like they could be webs. The hood/mask would be scrapped though.
Archery and bow. Although they mostly focus on his swords Salvatore mentions his bow a
few times, and you would want to use it regularly so if you do have to fall back on it you'll
have enough skill to do some damage.
Illusion. Nothing to strong, you just want to imitate his natural magical abilities. Starlight and
Mage's Light could imitate Faerie Fire. He loses levitation after he gets to the surface anyway,
so don't worry about that. I don't know if there's any darkness spells in the game, but detect
life seems to fit a drow hunter anyway so i'd go with that. I wouldn't use invisibility or muffle,
i'd leave that to sneak.
Sneak. Duel Weilding doesn't offer alot of defense, so you don't want to run into combat
Put perks into the damage multiplication, and your sneak attacks will do ridiculous amounts
of damage. As for fitting Drizzt, he's a drow and a ranger, both known for being sneaky.
Your biggest problem will probably be actually making the character look like drizzt. The
dunmer look alot different from the drow. They have really pronounced foreheads and
a ghoulish appearance, the drow are described as graceful and beautiful.
Well good luck, hope this helped.
