I managed to do this. Quite an interesting way to kill them, especially if you are weak with combat but powerful in stealth.
Only problem is that these guys are really powerful in terms of sensation, and can easily detect people. Novice stealth people have absolutely no chance against these guys with this method.
Briarhearts can be tricky at times. Im a theif/archer so I find it easy to stay at range sneak attacking with bow x3 dmg and the stagger interrupts there casting. If they close on me I ice form shout or unrelenting force shout them pull out swords and finish them. Works well if you have shadow warrior so you can escape mobs if more forsworn show up them just pick them off with bow
@elroncho do they seem to use blizzard and icy spear a lot for you? I'm at lvl 49 and those guys are casting exper/master level magic as well as the boss level necromancers and vampires.
@MrBunnySir They occupy mostly the reach in western skyrim. They're dressed in animal fur and what not. Some of their camps have a hargraven (or two) which can be particularly nasty depending on your character level.
I uses Slow motion's Dragon Shout, uses a fucking lots of drugs and start killing a fucking lot of Forsworn with 2 fucking swords, I apply the same with every dragon, It's funny when I'vce kill them before they hit me once, then I sheat my weapons and go 3rd person and start walking slowly, It looks extremely badass
@baron8107 yeah guys throwing ice are nasty once your guy hits level 30 or so and they start using expert level spells. I've got an amulet I enchanted that gives 40% resist to frost and lightning. Dark elf helps with fire resist.
@ninjagod1337 do you have muffle? are you walking while crouching or running? They can still hear you even if you're crouched and it shows hidden if you're running unless you get the perk that lets you maintain stealth while running.
@FastRedPonyCar No, I'm not using Muffle. I try crawling up to them as slowly as possible but as soon as I'm within a few feet, they get alerted. I can sneak up to most normal enemies no problem without muffle. Guess I'll have to buy that spell or find some boots with that enchantment.
I love doing that, but only pulled it off about 3x. Sweet shit, though.

Spellbreaker is pretty handy against them if you do the Peryite shrine quest to get it.

Where do you find Forsworn Briarheart
?

@MrBunnySir some dungeons and forts. anywhere there are forsworn, there's usually a briarheart. He's sort of like the bandit boss of the forsworn.

The only problem with "mage" enemies is ice spike, they always use it in dual, which can kill in under 40 seconds.

@ninjagod1337 you get a pair of boots with muffle when you join dark brotherhood. I immediately destroyed them to get the enchantment.

I laughed so hard when I realized I could do this! I just walked up for a sneak attack and realized I could pickpocket.

So you ripped out his heart from behind but left a hole in front of his chest... interesting.
Also: shut down Skyrim, step away from the pc & make more guitar videos. :D

@Usercool Briarhearts went through some weird initiation to be briarhearts and the heart is exposed. So the hole was there long before he was killed.

@oneperson85 Ah, I wouldn't know since I just couldn't find Skyrim very fun no matter how many chances I gave it.
Uninstalled it a while ago.

At least against mages like the Briarheart.
Too much health and to much frost magic.
