I got really tired of dungeons where I had to meticulously prepare for even the most basic of encounters or risk being totally dominated.

Maybe someone can tell me if I'm doing it wrong. I don't even remember what my class was, now, but anymore I have almost no ambition to revisit Cyrodiil. On the other hand, I crave revisiting the DC Wasteland almost monthly. Someone should explain to me what I need to fix and then I'll start a new char!
Ah man. Load up a game, make a character and save it before you exit the sewer. Then tell me everything about your character and I will adjust him to make him awesome for your preferences.
I basically always do sneaky/subterfuge type chars in games like that. Being able to crit kill somebody and sneak back into the darkness is always a pleasure, as is being able to talk my way out of situations. I tried to focus my previous char on that, but it didn't pan out nearly as well as I had hoped (not like FO3, basically)

I guess what I'd really like is to be able to both sneak and kill monsters efficiently, without constantly having to backtrack to either chug potions or wait for my MP to recharge to use low-level heal spells. If y'all can offer advice on a good build to go with for that, I'd be much obliged.
