I just recently stumbled upon this amazingly wonderfully frustrating game. Can someone give me some tips on running an assassin including race, weapon choices, talents etc...

My thoughts are to dual wield daggers and use them for throwing as well since they get bonuses with daggers. Thematically I think that sounds pretty cool but does that work for the whole game? Race-wise I was thinking maybe dark elf or human. My confusion is I'm worried about stretching myself thin trying to focus on talents that improve my dual wielding as well as my dagger throwing. Anyways I don't want to go through restartitis so a basic assassin road map would be appreciated. Thanks.
