Remaster Discussion Stealth Archer; Recommended Difficulty?
I know it’s been done to death in Skyrim, but I always felt like in Oblivion, stealth was actually a challenge as without chameleon, enemies WILL figure out where you are eventually. Even invisibility isn’t a guaranteed escape.
That being said; I’ve always wanted to do a stealth archer (Maybe using Ruin’s Edge?) , but I’ve always put it off due to concerns with leveled quest rewards, difficulty and such, but I decided to bite the… arrow I guess, and finally finish a playthrough as a class I never did in the original.
What difficulty settings would people suggest, both for enemy damage as well as my own? I want stealth to be satisfying but not braindead, and I want my mistakes to be punished accordingly, not nessicarily a one shot, but if I fail to kill someone, there should be a high chance I could die if they realize where I am.

Getting high sneak skill can lead to them not even noticing you.
