    No, that's not me. I have a very low level and a picture as Breaking Bad's Heisenberg as my avatar. If you still can't find me, give me your steam id and I'll look for you.

    This is the ideal thief build, no question about that. However, I propose an alternate path for those who want their Thief to eventually slip into the dark side (no, not another corner with shadow, I'm talking about becoming evil). This applies right after your very first kill occurs (which is with Mercer Frey).

    With that,  I recommend those who want to evolve from a thief to an assassin... and then a vampire, to join the Dark Brotherhood and then the vampire clan in the Dawnguard DLC instead of the dawnguard faction. You can always find, buy, or make enchanted bows to make up for the loss of the exploding bolts. Besides, it's more cost efficient this way (even if you're rich from your thievery days). You find, buy, or make your weak variation of enchanted bows that follow the combos for the poisons. Example would b a Frost Bow with the Slow Poison (and enemies get slowed by frost, whether it's 1 point or 10 points of damage).

    They will be weak in the beginning, but when you make your first kill, you will strive to be lethal (but you won't let the Thieves Guild get involved of course).

    Love this build! However I'm trying to play a thief with no combat skills, 100 health on master difficulty, can anyone suggest any builds closer too this? Or any advice would be appreciated. His name is Loki and he is an absolute coward, his only form of offence is the reverse poison perk (boosting my alchemy skills now) but he resents killing

    The heist-vids are pretty cool.

    Ask this in the build recommendations next time. Try Pontys burglar.
