Buy a PC and play it the way it was meant to be played...with mods.

Best advice I can give when you're first starting off is don't pick up everything you see. It's tempting because you can, but it really isn't worth the hassle carrying it all back to a store to sell. You'll find plenty of gold.

Figure it out, it's better to learn as you go

The easiest way to level up conjuring is to get to a place where there are enemies, they can see you, but they can't attack you, and keep conjuring swords.

Also, don't sell soul gems, just collect them. After you hit about level 15, enchant every single piece of equipment you pick up off bandits and sell it.

So sneaking is best with a dagger?

With the right perks, dagger is the way to go. With or without the DB shrounded gloves or handwraps - (although those obviously double your) backstab again, the top stealth damage multiplier is 15x and only applies to daggers - no brainer. I end up dual-wielding a lot (and I don't use the Blade of Woe after I get matching Daedric daggers, but it is probably slightly better) - until I start carrying a spell in the off hand.

It was fun sneaking up on landed dragons and killing them in one hit.

There gets to be a point, especially if you have your Smithing, Conjuring, Enchanting, and One Handed all the way up that it breaks the game.

I actually beat all of the DLC before I finished the main story line. Two permanent Storm Atronachs and two dragon bone swords with the Chaos enchantment with health absorption while wearing almost 2000 rated armor makes you unstoppable.

As was said, with the right perks, yes. One perk in the sneak tree grants 15x damage when hidden and attacking with dagger. If sneak is maxed out, another perk turns you invisible for a brief moment when in combat, when you crouch, making you hidden. So, if you attack right after, 15x damage and it will do that cut scene a lot of the time. Takes some practice to get the hang of it, but it is a lot of fun once you do.

Also, If you do get the ancient shrouded Dark Brotherhood armor, it will max the damage multiplier to 30x. So, if you have a powerful dagger, you are God

It really is a blast doing that play style. You can stick to sneaking and being the quiet assassin, knowing you'll usually get a 1 hit kill, or you can stroll through like a badass, smiting all who cross your path.

I've got a Daedric dagger as well. I think I put a soul binding enchantment on it just for fun. I'll usually have some type of magic in my off hand.

My tactic has always been to work up my bow and sneak to become a lethal assassin. I love picking off a group of enemies with one-shots at a distance.

Pro tip: there's a little witch's house near Falkreath called Anise's Cabin

Go there, kill that ho, and her bed becomes available... Also in her basement is an achemy table

Basically ransack her place for a free house you can store everything in AND fast travel to... Really good for hoarding all of your soul gems and dragon bones (never ever ever fricking sell these)
