    "There is a huge variety of Unique One Handed weapons in Skyrim.  Dawnbreaker, Dragons Bane, Dawnguard Rune Axe, Chillrend, Mehrunes Razor, Nightingale Blade and Gauldurs Blackblade are just a few examples.  The Treasure Hunter will probably carry a couple of enchanted weapons so he can be prepared for any encounter."

    You don't need to specialize in any kind of one handed weapon. Just make use of all the unique weapons you can.

    As for race, Imperial is advised for the boost to gold they find, but isn't really a must. You can be a Bosmer if you really want.

    hmm ok i guess i will have a nice size favorite list XD i will start in the thief's guild to start so i can grab the guild armor as soon as i start the game starts and the mod i use has perks that deal with using as torch in ur shield hand like blinding enemies if u bash with a torch and such. i am off to start ^_^ oh i was also wondering how do u see the featured builds on the site? i have only seen one cause it was under the weekly poll.

    Happy that this build was featured: I've been looking for a non-enchanting-reliant build to play around with, so this might just do the trick with me. +1 mate :)

    Playing this build at the present time ................. Very role-playing and power-play friendly without crafting ....Level 19 already..... +1

    Power play friendly? How so, I would have thought that the lack of crafting would prevent that? X

    I agree, crafting would spoil this build. But I could not imagine it to be a power play build given that all the best enchantments weapons and potions have to be created x

    True, I hadn't really thought of the shield in that way. I was thinking from a purely role play perspective that I would probably swap the shield for a torch or just use the one handed block if I was sneaking about x

    Gravity is an excellent ally, use it wisely, also as you saw in the vid, knocking them over them backstabbing does more damage than just attacking from the front, I used a targe of the blooded for bleed dps so you can bleed and knock over then back attack or knock them onto the ground/water from a height.

    One of the most fun sneak builds I have played.

    Cocoa .... I play on master and I'm having no problems with this build at all.... No crafting what so ever..... You feel like an stoppable force either sneaking or toe to toe.......It really makes finding a rare exciting .......
