    Damn, I don't really have many comments because I'd like to wait and see some of the edits but this is really looking quite nice so far Xen. Nice idea for a build and the presentation so far is really nice. Will comment more if I think of anything but just wanted to drop in and give some support to start :D

    Hi !

     

    So far so good, your build look quite badass already !

    Not a lot of comment to be made too, I already played in the past some similar 100% shout cooldown Khajiit except in a more monkish way (via Resto/Loop glitch) and I can confirm it is pretty nifty. For my two cents :

     -  Maybe you could add some perks in pickpocket, just enough for Extra pocket, the +100 carry weight is a blessing

     -  I'm not 100% sure of the usefullness of Lockpick in here... treasure hunter is the only moderately usefull perk and to be honest I think its coming to late in a playtrough to be worth that much attention...

     

    Keep up the good work and be sure I'm eager to see what it will look like in the end !!!

    Nice looking WIP! Love what you've picked out for art here and I'm really looking forward to reading the backstory you're devising. I like that you're employing sneak here without perking it. Have you been using the stealthier shouts like Throw Voice or Aura Whisper much?

    I think I'm going to remove those two perks since they don't really do anything significant. Originally, I did have pickpocket, but without perking sneak I didn't find myself ever using it. Maybe I'll divide my perks between the two? I'm trying to be careful to not turn it into a complete thief, I'd rather it be more of an adventurer sort of thing.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Good question! As a thief, this character has played more like a con artist than a cat burglar. I've avoided sneak attacks simply because I didn't want an unperked skill to outpace the progress of the perked ones, but I have used sneak when stealing valuables and positioning myself. Because sneak isn't perked, I chose Agent of Stealth at the end of the Thieves Guild questline to make up for that. Aura Whisper can be useful at times, but Throw Voice (As far as I know) only works on hostiles and is really only useful for a getaway if I get caught.
