You can play in any way, it doesn't make a difference in gameplay :^] [spoiler]You can check out [url=https://www.youtube.com/user/Brodual]Brodual's [/url]Channel for combat mod showcases or mods in general if you want. My suggestion; non-lethal thief 'Blunt' weapons only; fists, maces can be used to 'knock people out (still considered killing in game but restrictions can make games fun); no twohanded weapons, (cross)bow only used to distract or weaken foes not to kill them Being sneaky, stealing stuff, and selling it Being greedy Maybe learn Alchemy Is allowed to kill non-humans and undead You should install a sneaking overhaul if you're atually going to do that. If you install some mods you can actually resolve some fights nom-lethally; for example a mod that makes people give up a fight when they're brought to their knees[/spoiler]
