got any tips of Thief build?

[Darkcymru]

My build sole purpose is Crime not trails and vet dungs.

Obvious race choice I want is Bosmer, Cat, argonian or Imperial for Roleplay reasons obviously (maybe breton because daggerfall is full of thieves ask me for reference)

I am looking to go for Nightblade but there are some alternatives that are just as good. deffo not Templar because not Crime. Got few tips on abilities and such? when I create a thief character i'l go through starter zone quest chain then thieves guild and DB.

darkstride with night silence probably? along with stormfist or selene

For Sneak Thief Races, best two often considered are Khajit and Bosmer (Wood Elf), and while any stamina-based race could be used (moving while sneaking burns stamina), Khajit is the only race to carry a "Reduction to your Detection Radius". Bosmer has an increased chance to detect someone Else that is stealthed - but that's beneficial for PvP only (Bosmer used to have a stealth radius reduction, but that was removed for some stupid reason).

For Gear, anything that improves stamina, reduces your sneak detection radius or aids sneak in some way, like Night Mother's Embrace, Night's Silence, or Night's Terror to name a few,

For Class and Weapons selection - i always like to use Nightblade & DW/Bow for this - but that's mainly a choice for role-play (Bow/Bow is probably an option too). The primary bonuses come from the skill lines of thieving and legerdemain that are available to all races and classes.

Will not be the highest dps - but can certainly manage solo-play content and most dungeons rather easily with proper dps training.
