Stealth is one of the best features of this game.
Hiding in the shadows actualy feels like it. You're nervous, wondering whether your footsteps might alert your enemies.
The lockpicking is much better than it was in morrowind. Even my fighter, with a Security skill of 7, was able to crack a Hard lock. But, that's really only becuase I played an assassin my first time through. This allows the thief/assassin to get good treasure early on; If they're skilled enough.
For assassins, Poisons play a huge role. Paralyzing, Intelligence draining, Health Damaging... the possibilities are endless. You could even put two effects into one poisons, saving you an extra attack. Couple a health damage poison with a sneak attack, and you could seriously cripple your opponent.
Quite frankly, I think that stealth is the best feature of this game. The thieves guild quests are great to boot! And the Dark Brotherhood... well, let's just say that they have an "evil humor" to them.
And I think that this game is probably possible with a stealth character. In fact, it is completely possible.
Just my 2 septims.
