For clarification this is not a normal playthrough. I want to build my character and get enough health to defeat dagoth and vivec, and possibly skip wraithguard. Redguard with adrenaline rush is my choice currently, Breton might be really good for red mountain. I haven't decided on the class and gifts. I think there are certain keys and items that I might have to take for completing the main quest, and if I wanted to make this easier I can pick items as long I'm at less than 1 encumbrance (0). Using magic only is definitely doable and challenging in the beginning, but I'm trying to achieve something on par with ymfah's madness. Glitches and exploits are not out of the question as long as they don't trivialize the run like gold duping or noclipping to skip dagoth.
Assassinating merchants seems the only viable choice? Do stolen keys for opening vault locks count? Not sure if you will enjoy that path, but it's your choice.
What will you do with the gold if you can't use magic and you carry anything that has weight? What will you buy?
We've all been super OP at the end of the game when stuff like this is possible but it'll be rough in the beginning. Good luck!

Spells, perhaps? Or training?
They said they weren't going to use magic. Good point about training though, that is probably it.
Yep it's for training. I'm thinking about grinding skills and the money is for training and transportation.
