    I would like to play through Skyrim on Legendary as a mage or an assassin/thief who only wear's robe's, hand wraps, hoods (same for mage) ect. Any suggestions on how to go throughout this?

    Also, I have DawnGuard and DragonBorn. I would plan on beating those also.

    Ethereal makes you go into "ghost form"? Correct?

    Conjuration was a definite for me. A follower like Serena might be good because from what I've noticed she can't die and she does quite a bit of damage (from what I've experienced IG). Illusion sound like a pretty solid idea also. What I might be going for is a Mage but have an element of stealth because I plan on just wearing robes and what not. I might have to get the Spell Breaker because fighting dragons 1v1 might be impossible. Also, I'm very aware this is going to be insanely hard and some parts might be impossible. But who doesn't love an insane challenge.

    Destruction + Illusion + Conjuration + Follower + some stealth for the element of surprise.

    I suggest removing Destruction and add a crafting skill. It will make you much harder to kill and you won't spend ages leveling Destruction which will not be able to do at least as much damage as your followers and summons. If you're set on no-crafting character, go with Block. It greatly increases your survivability. Source - played DiD on Legendary :D
