Thanks! I've never played above Adept, so I don't know. My guess is that it would be theoretically possible, at least in fairly open areas (you'd need more room for sprint-kiting). But there are very few frills to this character - no poisons, no ubersmithing, no enchantments, no sneak bonuses - so damage output will be lower than normal.
I think Adept probably will provide the most satisfying experience. Remember, it's a very low AR build (unless you really pump up those flesh spells), and Health isn't going to be super high since we're going for a 1:1:1 attribute ratio. That, plus the inherent limitations of no-sneak, no-frills, *pure* archery, ought to provide a good challenge without being over the top.

Good question - no, it never occurred to me to get married with this character, despite the fact that I was involved with the Mara questline. I guess whether it fits with the roleplay depends on how you envision the character. For me, I tend to see the guy as an ascetic, and something of a loner, so marriage wouldn't work. But almost anything can be justified in these games - working it out in your head could be quite rewarding!

Good point - I've got frostfall and iNeed running in another profile (thank you Mod Organizer!), but this character was played in a vanilla Skyrim. They are great mods, though. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'd feel the need for survival mods with this type of character, since there are substantial self-limitations at work - just like you're saying.

I'd never have thought of doing something like this. It's very difficult to come up with a completely different concept for Skyrim these days, but you have achieved it. Brilliantly executed and extremely original. Also, I've always liked the combination of Restoration and Archery for reasons that I cannot really explain. I don't think that I'd be able to resist looting certain items, but I might give it a go one day .

Thank you! I recommend giving it a shot (of course!). Just walking away from some glittering MacGuffin of Radiant Awesomeness really makes you feel like a badass mystic. :D

Well, this is a little gem
It's pretty hard now to find an archetype or play style that hasn't been done to death - but I do believe that this build manages it admirably
+1 from me
