I like to sneak and steal and murder from afar. But I also cheat, in the sense that if I get a skill high enough, I'll get the perk that goes with it, I don't like the advancement points or whatever bullshit.
So in the end I'm the ultimate killing machine, but I still like to sneak undetected
As for mods, I'm looking for things that add to the immersion, I'm gonna get the one that forces you to make camps and fires and drink and eat for exemple, and the one that adds clothing protection against cold (or are they one and the same? can't remember).
A follower that's not incompetent sounds great tho xD
