lol weird to spell "stealth archer" two different ways. i tried to watch a video of the starfield speedrun and fell asleep, maybe modders can rescue it but since it's not even open-world anymore idk how they would. skyrim was barely an rpg and the beth games after it aren't doing any of the things i want from the genre at all.
Skyrim is singleplayer. There is no meta forcing you to play stealth archer. Warrior, Mage and dagger thief are all perfectly viable builds.
But stealth archer is by far the best designed class. Bows feel weighty, arrows have drop distance and stealth is consistently fun. Melee weapons are basically weightless and playing a warrior just consists of spamming the attack button, pausing to spam healing potions, and then spamming the attack button again. Destruction mages play very similarly, and the other ones like illusion and conjuration basically consist of getting NPCs to play the game for you.
Stealth archer manages to be the best one even though the game doesn't even differentiate from an arrow landing in a foot and a headshot, because the other options are so underdeveloped.
all roads lead to stealth archery
