Yeah well I started playing this right, and I found a bow in the opening sequences. Well, due to my ownage in general, I shot an arrow and it killed everything in every city in the entire game. Pretty much ruined it for myself. You fucker.
I went back to do the first Kvatch mission after doing lots and lots of other quests and getting up to level 20.. Yeah, needless to say, it was difficult. Being primarily an archer with very little melee skills, I did have to turn the difficulty down in order to be able to have enough arrows to kill stuff (it was taking 30 arrows to kill one rock creature thing).
Yes Dark Brotherhood quests are pro, so are the thief ones. The mages ones are O.K., but you get this pimp cane after you finish them all that lets you raise guys you just killed from the dead to fight for you. Here's my Vampire Cat man of doom.By the way I don't use that staff when I fight, I use umbra, a silver sword with 40 fire damage to it, or a bow I made with 40 fire damage to it as well. Just wanted to show you how pro it looks.
