Wow..this is great! I keep running into so many good builds here, I never get a character past lvl 25. Trying this one out as soon as I get off work. +1

I'M REPLYING TO MY SELF!!!!

Using a wide variety of skills + no alchemy = win. The theme is pretty awesome too, it looks like one where the RP can flow naturally, and since his honor is shaken, he's not afraid to do things a strictly good character wouldn't touch as, "the ends justify the means" type character.

Never really messed with pickpocket either, so could be interesting.

I think I found my next playthrough. 

Sweet! Let me know how it goes :D

I ignored Pickpocketing for the longest time, but it's a great way to train AND get some quick gold ;D

So far doing alright, lvl 15, maxed out the training Faendel could give me, haven't done any other yet because its 0% chance to pickpocket XD. Joined the Companions and finished Proving Honor and first dragon kill, which was super hard because of mods. I think the dragon mods I grabbed are meant for when your into high levels, because that thing killed 20 guards and lost less than 1/10 of its health. I said screw it and used the console "kill" command.  Hopefully regular dragon wont be like that or may have to dump those mods till I actually get a character into the 40s and 50s.

Anyways, got the Bound Bow from Fort Amol, it actually lvls conjuration rather well, though kinda hard to cast without the relevant perks, but mystic binding makes it oh so juicy of a weapon. Also, stopped by the College just long enough to buy an adept hood and Conjuration Robes.

Running around with heavy boots and gloves for now, though will change soon as I did hit 30 alteration, hesitation because the iron gloves have bow damage, and the Jarl gave me frost resist boots 40%.

Plan to keep bouncing back and forth between Companions and Main Quest till I unlock the abilities to get followers for the Companions for whats-her-face's Block training. In the meantime, just pick-pocketing random people for gold/arrows/lock-picks/keys just to lvl pick-pocketing a bit. I might want to do a quick run to Riften just to unlock the fence there so I can pickpocket other stuff too to lvl up a tad faster....

Love that bound bow! And once you start getting the Marked for Death shouts, dragons really do become a non-issue... they fly away and return significantly weaker ;D

I found that some of the best stuff to Pickpocket in order to level the skill is jewelry. Rings and necklaces (especially enchanted ones) give you crazy experience points. Hanging out with the Riften crowd (Thieves Guild quests) for a bit will help you with with your Pickpocketing and get you introduced to some Fences as well.

What sorcery is this, that this is not yet legendary?

I saw this one a while ago, but didn't get a chance to comment. I've always liked this build with it's samurai theme, and, even better, it's no crafting aspect! 

Come on, only 6 more likes to go..

I really should go out of my way to get those shouts. Just got the Ebony Blade, and hunting the Dark Brotherhood should help with that considerably. Left off just after cutting down Glerod the "Kind" for her child abuse, now just need to wait to be abducted and start slaughtering some assassins.

I also went out of my way to help a few people who I do not yet know are cannibals. ;-) Plan to do that quest as an "undercover agent" type deal to lure out the cannibals then kill them all together. I don't know what the quest will do if instead of killing the priest I kill everyone else in the room, but I doubt it'll be a big deal to break that quest in particular. Helping as many as I can ahead of time as metagaming as a "charitable deed" in rp terms to help build up the blade. Should be able to get at least two more charges out of that.

I have ran into a few more regular dragons, and though altered and tougher, not so rediculous as that one at the watchtower, so it was doable, though long. They rarely seem to spawn alone, they seem to always love to show up in groups of two and three, but that's mods, nothing to do with this build. XD

For skill training I figured out if I only do a single train at a time I can pickpocket the gold without issue, so pickpocket and whatever skill I'm training shoot through the roof. Got block to 30, and let it rest there, then started training speech. Left off getting that at 50 for the merchant perk. Was going to finish up Companion for the trainer/followers (archery, block, 2 handed) but took a diversion for the Ebony Blade and started unlocking dark brotherhood. Eliminating the Dark Brotherhood, IIRC is super short, so just gunna knock that out then finish the Companions. After that the cannibal quest to (hopefully) finish powering up my blade, then bouncing around between the major quest lines, with detours to grab a few needed shouts. Saving the College for later, so the magicka circlet they give is a lot stronger. At some point I should probably get get that horn the Greybeards were talking about as well, haha.
