Stealth and Theifery : V - Skyrim

Essentially, I like stealth because I feel it gives more macrostrategy and microstrategy (those are personally coined terms) and more overall options.

Exactly, fighter has nothing to do with that

I love how stealth gives me time to prepare for combat, and carefully calculate my actions. I see my enemies before they see me, and can dispose of them, of avoid them, at my leisure not theirs. Having the first shot in every encounter is a significant advantage, and being able to avoid combat altogether is a perfect reward for the more subtle arts.

This, Stealth allows one to give the surprise than get the surprise, and makes a big difference in the style that we play... :ninja:

I've never been able to get into the fighter tank type character in most games. The brashness of that character, while fun for a little bit, gets boring quickly, and honestly isn't very realistic. After all, having a million health and gettting shot 100 times and still surviving isn't realistic at ALL. But having low health, and sneaking around and taking people out silently, one at a time, much better
