    Im using the mod "unarmed warfare" because you can use head kicks, wheel kicks, and butter fly kicks that suit the stealth character

    It's a nice build and it definitely doesn't deserve to be bloodworks so I'll give you my +1 . But to be honest I think among the 9999 Sneak-assassin builds out there, I think there needs to be more to your build that would set itself apart to get noticed more. (New guy though, so my opinion is not the best)

    I was trying to make this build simple, and viable even without DLC content, so that any player could play and try this build out. I'll admit it is a simple build. But it plays well as simple, focused on the few skills it needs and not trying to complicate it with extra perks, skills, spells, or equipment that does not lend itself directly to the build.

    However I will see if I may add to this build in the near future. Currently busy with another build set in the Factions event, I may revisit this when I get the chance afterwards. 

    I thank you for your comments and hope you enjoy this build nonetheless as it is.

    Hmmm maybe I'll see if I can get some screens from my PC version, see if I can find anything brighter that might help, and I'll take another look around the internet, see if I can't find any pics I may like better to add to the look of this build.

    That does look better for the text, not too cluttered now with images with the perks and the gameplay.

    I'll admit it isn't very fancy or especially complex, but that's part of the fun and charm. A simple solid build, with no One-handed or Alchemy or Enchanting even to make your character suddenly able to use equipment or spells outside of their training. This is meant to be a simple, somewhat odd assassin build.

    I cannot say that there aren't heavy armor assassin builds, but I wouldn't say that there are many, and it plays well. It could do more, but I think it works as is. Nonetheless, after this Factions build contest is finished I may revisit this and see if there isn't anything I can add to it to spice it up perhaps.

    And thank you for your comment.

    Fists are best as they do not level up weaponry, and are especially effective if you say play as a Khajit as they do a high amount of damage unarmed, as a Nord/Dunmer/Argonian, fists are still very viable when escaping Helgen then you can use a bow from one of dead archers to finish off the spiders without risking poison, however if you wish you can use daggers instead, still fast and viable as a weapon, and fit with the style.
