I'm pretty sure that the dark elves get the best bonus, due to their 50% fire resists. That'll make the dragons a lot easier. Plus they can look evilly awesome.

What I did with my theif was I used light armor at first, until I got the silence perk in the stealth line. Then, I switched over to heavy armor since silence made the weight irelevant. I kept the sneaky, but I was able to brawl with the best of them.

The thing I regret most about my character are the four perk points spent in light armor. If you take that path I described, don't waste a point on light armor.

I got away with heavy armor switch at that late stage in the game because of the Unfathomable Depths quest from the Argonian From-Deepest-Fathoms in Riften. No spoilers, that story is a very interesting one.

I'm pretty sure that save 0 is where your character is still a Nord named Prisoner, I'm pretty sure that's automatic because I don't think that I saved right there. If so, it'll save you a long ride on a cart.

I swear by bound weapons. <3. The first thing I do when I'm detected is pop an atronoch and summon a bow. The only weapon I even keep on me these days is a dagger for backstabbing. I have very little use for destruction, I prefer to save my magic for a few restoration spells and for resummoning atronochs and gear. The only use I have for illusion is the silent casting perk four perks up the right line availible at level 50 in that skill.

Feel free to use any, all, or none of my advice. It's your world.
