Out of all the different large quests in Skyrim, my favourite is definitely the thieves guid. Working with them is high paying, easy work, and a really interesting questline with some great characters. And I'm sure many agree with me when I say that the rewards for this questline are great. And of course, I love it when Brynjolf calls me "lass"

For a start, I find it very hard not to love the armour you receive by pursuing the questline. It's main asset is its mysteriousness, and the beautiful shapes that you can see if you look closer. It isn't surprising that the armour is very detailed, since there was no need to make more than a couple of sets when there was originally only three nightingales.

With a reasonable damage of 32, this bow never fails to impress. Just walking while holding it almost feels like an honour, and I envy the people who have found the time to make their own replica of it. Of course it isn't the best bow you can get in the game, and it doesn't have any absolutely amazing qualities like for instance, Auriel's Bow's amazing sun hallowed arrow attacks, but aesthetically speaking, this is my favourite bow, maybe my favourite ITEM in the entire game of TES 5.
And finally, probably the most useful reward of them all is the powers that you can choose from after completing the quest of Trinity Restored and becoming a full-fledged nightingale. My personal favourite is the Agent of Stealth, which of course allows you to have invisibility for up to two minutes, provided you don't interact with any objects or people. That, in my opinion is a great asset, as invisibility is a great way to sneak, and I think this would be a great pair with the thief stone.
