Pure Thief a viable build?

Hi.

 

I just found The Thieves Guild and it looks like it's a lot of fun doing all sort of missions for them.

Therefore I'm curious if you can play as a pure thief and still be able to do the main quest? The main missions I've done so far seems very hard playing as a thief with killing dragons and that sort of things.

I'm sure it's possible if you go into gameplay settings and change it to the lowest difficulty haha. #NoobPower

Well, i don't know your definition of "pure thief", but my cahracter is pretty efficient killer with dual wielded daggers. Stealth is also a lot stronger than in oblivion, which makes it a reliable way of killing those enemies.

Light armour, bow and daggers, illusion and so on. Basically being as sneaky as possible. :)

Sounds like it's possible then. I think I'll play my next character that way.

I always played magic classes in previous Elder scroll series, not because i wanted too, but mainly due to the clunky melee interface. Thief based classes wanting to duel wield was out of the question due to the engine. It was also hard to target via 3rd person behind the back camera in combat. Skyrim it's done a lot better. I have a duel wield dagger Thief class presently level 3, he is looking real good thus far. Plan on playing this toon all the way through.

 

He will be mainly Light armor, Daggers, Alchemy....
