Near the start of the game you’ll come across three skill stones. Speech and Alchemy can also be useful to have. You’ll want to focus on the Sneak, Lockpicking and Pickpocket skill trees, as well as the Light Armour, Archery and One-Handed trees depending on how you want your character to feel. For more information on racial perks read our Skyrim skills and race guide. The Khajit or Wood Elf are both wise choices. Note: Spoilers.Īt the start of the game pick a race that lends itself well to stealing and being light on your feet. We show you the best weapons, armour and accessories for thieves, what skills to level up, how to make loads of money and sneak like the best of them in our Skyrim thief guide.
It may not be the most heroic class in Skyrim, but playing as a thief is arguably one of the most fun (and profitable) experiences you can have in the game.
