Solo Assassins are
NOT weak. Their ability to poison weapons makes the early fights in the game easier (toying with one right now, and it is downright nasty to your opponents). And later, they get the large backstab multiplier. Imagine backstabbing an opponent to badly injured with a poisoned weapon, then running off to let the poison finish them off. You can also poison missiles. Think darts (3/round) or a certain short bow available early in the game. Hit each opponent 1-2 times and just run off and come back later to loot. Also, the only restriction (less points to spend each level on thieving skills) is offset somewhat by the fact that you are soloing; you'll fly up in levels very quickly, so your thieving skills will be quite good within a short time.
The only mods that will make you level up faster are those that add quests to the game (mostly those are side quests from NPCs, though, so you would not be able to take advantage of them). There is the Unfinished Business mod, which adds in quests that were originally part of the game but cut due to time. However, leveling to maximum level will
NOT be a problem for someone soloing. In fact, there are people who add the xp cap removing mod just because they level so quickly that they max out well before the end of the game.
