I feel some fun times ahead :P

According to the manual, the Argonians and the Khajiit should be well-suited to thievery (I suppose this means they are good at picking locks and other people's pockets), but having a combat bonus is always nice. Plus, those red eyes are sooooo badass!

Since I haven't played the other parts of the series, I can't really compare living as a Thief... but what I've seen so far is pretty fun, even if it is pretty simple and limited. It's like having a secret identity - you are a model citizen at day, helping others and fighting evil, and a ruthless looter at night who relieves the good citizens of their hard-earned cash. And in the morning I even have the audacity to go and trade at the store that I robbed last night... selling the very items that I stole from it. Don't know why, but I find this very entertaining :D

Side quests can be pretty monotonous, but the ones involving random dungeons can be nice... though these dungeons also start repeting themselves at one point (at least the different levels of the dungeon have different tilesets). The palace quests have the added challenge of being pursued by some faction (e.g. Underking, Thieves Guild), which attacks you if you try to camp... even if you're inside a tavern (I've actually had to slay attackers right in front of the bartender).

And artifact quests - they are just like everything else in this game. First you go to a dungeon to find a map... and the map tells you the location of the dungeon that actually holds the artifact. The ring I got was in a dungeon in Elsweyr (Ricky's homeland), while the map dungeon was in Summerset Isle. Random generation at its best :P

The cities' size is impressive, from a technological perspective, but yeah - it can get annoying at times, especially when you have to go around obstacles.

In terms of healing, I bought a few healing potions. I hope they will help me avoid camping in hostile territory. Camping is a new healing method to me - in Diablo you use potions, and in WoW it is mostly done by eating (and drinking - to replenish mana).

Nocturnal inn searching - at least there is some excitement because you can be attacked by something... I even got a troll once.

I'm definitely hunting for a better weapon. Some of the monsters at the Ice Fortress beat me up pretty bad. I can't get better armor since I'm limited to leather, but I can get a better saber ;)
