Just read ( Tchey )'s post about the game is impossible with a non-combat oriented character.
"Winning" the game with a thief character is quite possible, you just have to know the exploits of the game. Some of them are:
- Use traps to your advantage! Even with low traps skill you can lay down some bear traps. They'll hold the melee enemies at bay for 3 rounds (which is often enough to finish them off). Also most game maps are not quite roomy so you can use that to your advantage to create choke points.
- With a high enough sneak skill you can pass by every enemy. Think about cumulative bonuses like balaclavas, tabi boots etc.
- Use grenades! And flashbangs too. With low skill you can still hit your target, or if it's a miss you can reload the area and try it again (with the autosave)
- Try to save your knockout moves for the last possible attack. This can save you a free turn.
- Try not to engage multiple enemies at once.
- Grenades won't blow up landmines. Lure your foes next to a landmine or acid blob trap and bomb them to hell!
Use your brains, eat food, use jumping beans to get out of nasty situations quickly. Speaking of jumping beans, it's easy to craft and it can speed you up while carrying too much junk (ie: overweight). Handy stuff if you want to reach the nearest merchant quickly

Happy Rathound hunting!
