I think it was Oblivion rather than Skyrim, but I remember one character I had whose stealth was so high guards would lose track of me if I entered a slightly shaded area. Archery would only improve things because then I wouldn’t have to walk up to them to kill them.

Petty sure that character could just shoot whatever I wanted and just sit there, not even that far away, and anyone who noticed the shot would give up looking pretty quickly. Don’t think it was any different for walking up to them and stabbing.

There might have been some stealth fortification involved.

I think he was worried that asking a woman to make him a sandwich would be sexist.
