As someone who hasn't gotten this yet and who values your outlook re: fisticuffs in games
How viable would an unarmed build be in this game
I'm your man with a plan for this shit.
I'm level 34 and have done nothing but punch stuff.
I've recently taken to punching dragons and while you probably want a good heal spell on hand for fights like that it's perfectly viable if not especially quick with the killing.
My one thing is that you will want to go to Riften from a carriage at the first hold you visit (Whiterun) and go into the Ratways and find a guy who has a pair of gloves called Gloves of the Pugilist, it's +10 unarmed damage and later can be disenchanted to put that on a ring and a new pair of gloves.
Do this before anything. Get out of the starting dungeon thing, run to whiterun and go get them damn gloves, boy.
so for some reason the amulet you get from being the guild master of the thieves guild is listed as light armor, which means you can level light armor easily even with full heavy on

How does this game expect me to make 25K to buy this manor in Solitude? I've barely even sniffed 5K and the quest rewards are just not getting it done. Oh, yeah, I exorcised that evil wolf queen in the catacombs, Falk Firebeard. Thanks for the wimpy one thousand doubloons. How about you just give me the deed to the manor and we call it even?

Join the thieves guild. Join the dark brotherhood. Dungeon crawl. Make bank.

Level up, get better loot, make jewelry with the various gems you find, loot enchanted/nice equipment from enemies for selling, and if all else fails, join the thieves guild.
I have something like 140k on my current character, and it was never particularly my intention to make a ridiculous amount of gold, it just happened after a certain point.
What level are you? By the time I got to level 42 I had 76k in my pocket, after buying and completely furnishing the houses in Whiterun, Riften, and Markarth
Eventually enemies will start dropping things you can sell for bank
You can also craft shitty little weapons and put on a good enchant, even with a weak soul the value of the weapon will shoot up, and if you have the black star you can put on really strong enchants and sell them for a lot

I have 50k or so at level 29. I haven't really messed with job-type quests or any sort of crafting yet, just picking up every damn thing worth more than 50 gold that I come across and selling it.
I've just killed a string of hunters including a quest giver because they all look like bandits from a distance so I stealth attacked with my bow.
Also the black smoke from the ebony mail is not helpful when it starts obscuring your vision when you are trying to line up shots.
I accidentally did a sneak attack on the guard of that guy who wants to retake his castle, luckily Elder Scrolls AI was in effect so when I actually got there everything was cool.

From what I've read, heavy armor + smithing + enchanting makes a badass punching dude.
Wait, armor improves your melee damage?
I mean sure in real-world terms that makes perfect sense what with the weight and hard metal bits on your hands but damn that's cool

Does anyone know how to recharge
get gloves of pugilist
get heavy armor perk
laugh all the way to the punch bank

You could play a khajitt, wear heavy armor and use the +unarmed enchants to wreck face pretty well.
and one of the dragons won't give me his soul.... what a dick

liiya, how are you in jail! have you finally reverted to a life of crime?
I haven't killed gigantic abominations with my bare hands since
Well New Vegas actually but still
This is my problem with big world games like this, I'm too easily distracted by shiny objects and killing necromancers
Police finally caught up with me, all those funeral wreaths were starting to look suspicious I guess!
Son of a bitch Vanilla!
I cannot stop chuckling at this method of killing, I don't even feel enthused about fighting enemies normally anymore!

Basically, crime pays well in this game.

returned the golden claw, then snuck back at night and stole it

enchant dagger
sell dagger
buy materials
repeat

It's not so hard later. Dungeons, crafting, etc
kinda want to swim in my gold coins though
I accidentally did a sneak attack on the guard of that guy who wants to retake his castle, luckily Elder Scrolls AI was in effect so when I actually got there everything was cool.
Skills I don't really use are still fine, though.
Good luck pick pocketing 2 grand per skill point.
Between 2000 and 2500 was the cutoff for me. All of my major skills cost over 3000 to trains per skill point.
I don't understand how I can take 2100 with a 90% chance but 2200 is down to around 0%.
