Dragon Age Awakening also has some interesting warrior archer builds, like the Spirit Warrior in Awakening. And naming all games in a single franchise is not really a valid response, since they will obviously be similar. And on that note, even Elder Scrolls Online has some really valid ranged Dragonknight builds.

But if you want to compare, pretty much every game based on D&D rules (and there's A LOT of them, Baldur's Gate series, Neverwinter Nights, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity, I could go on for a while here) will show you warriors do better ranged damage compared to rangers, simply because of their extra attacks.

As far as linking archery to the warrior in Skyrim, that information is rather ambiguous. Bows are created under the smithing tree which is a warrior tree. However, the trainers for archery are thieves or archers. As for your comment about which stone affects archery, that depends on what version you are running. Some people may be running the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, which changed is to the Warrior's Stone. The description of that stone describes it affects ALL combat skills, which archery obviously is mostly is. Only in a few very specific situations (like maybe an assassin or something) could it be considered a stealth sign.

As to what sign it's under, it's quite obviously in between.
