That's pretty much what i did on my playthrough.

Leveled into sneak most at first, then one hand and light armor, use a bow but didnt perk it any beyond what you get in the sneak tree for sneak atk bonus. i did quite a bit of alchemy and loved that system, finding new potion combos is very fun.

The only difference i made was I was an Orc. Odd I know...but I figured the berserker rage would be very nice to have if assassination attempts got a little messy.

(I would also recommend maybe going destruction just to apprentice and Rune Master maybe some of the fire skills. (Ive yet to do this but im working my way on it) I cant wait to see how nice it will be to lay runes in clever places then make noises, and bait my prey to come around the corner then Booomm! and Stab stab stab!

^_____^.

I like to pretend I'm a slightly schizoid happy go lucky devious orc trickster on my playthrough. (Me and cicero are BFF!)

any build not completely tailored around how you enjoy playing, with performance being a far far far second, is pointless and sad in a single player rpg.
