Stealth. Every aspect of it used to frustrate the crap out of me.(I'm not a veteran ES player). Till this day I still don't know (and don't really care anymore since my sneak characters go light anyway) if you partly wear heavy armor (like heavy boots or gauntlets); will it affect sneak.
I used to try to commando-style with this character; which is like sneak to close proximity then proceed to freak out and lay it on them with a warhammer. Works OK at low level, but later on I constantly get nailed by archers before I can even take out my weapon (That was when I didn't give a damn about upgrading my armors and weapons).
And I only pump points into miscellaneous skills, like both TW and OH, random points in alteration because I thought that armor increase was cool until I found out that I had to wear clothes only (I seriously thought armor counted as clothes); and how much mana ebony flesh freaking cost without perk.
And I always play on Master... So the first character playthrough was ROUGH, but I was really excited to try out proper stealth. So now suddenly sneak become my favorite playstyle, and I'm trying out so many other derivatives of a sneaky character.
