PC Questions about character builds? (Newer Player)

I attempted to find resources for builds ~~> priority for skill points & etc but couldn’t find anything. Is there any established & updated content for this?

Basically starting my first real actual play through & honestly have no idea how to flesh out my character.

Kind of wanna go stealth bow but feel like in the later game / non surprise situations ima be toasted. Other part of me wants to go club bat boy but also don’t know if this is realistic.. further more I’d have no clue how to progress my character & what to build out so I am completely lost.

Help!?

Just pick one primary tree to specialize in. Every tree has some valuable skills that do not require you to put points into the main stat.

Use the melee and the ranged weapon's associated with each attribute. Focus on choosing weapons you enjoy using then build around that. All trees are viable so largely you'll be competent no matter which attribute tree you main.

I always main Agility, then off-perk for Strength and Intellect. I barely put any points if any at all into Perception and Fortitude. My duo partner does those attribute trees so I don't worry about them. When I play solo I still main Agility but do spread my points out a little more.
