Except athletics skill (yes I know...), and even then it will still steam broil you.

Does lycanthropy count?

Just saying.

Actually stealth will.

Heaps of invis potions plus self-made muffle enchantment (because of the glitch muffle is floating point, and everything else is integer, so it is immediately rounded to 1 and muffles 100%) and you are almost undetectable. Still need about 20-30 skill, though.

Where exactly is this underground city and is it populated and easy to venture through being low level?
IIRC, it's near the northern areas.
No, it's not populated.
No, you will probably die at low levels.
No amount of skill will stop a dwarven centurion from beating the everloving christ out of you at a low level. Maybe a few glitches will...

Is back-peddling in a circle, and hopping around like an obnoxious WoW avatar not considered a skill anymore..?

Just stand on a rock, shoot arrows at it, and every time it tries to hit you jump so it misses

Skill is making a centurion meet a giant. Or just not waking it up, because it barely has loot (You can get one-shotted by dwemer crossbow ball thingy, in Master, so Centurion is no-no to fight).

In my experience, Centurions have awesome loot. Usually a few grand soul gems, some ebony ore/bars, and some high-end arrows. Backpedaling/arrowing from a secure location doesn't work so well on them, because they have a massive steam-spray attack that will roast you in 2 seconds. Unless you're a Dunmer :D

:D

Never underestimate the power of a good, well-timed ward and a little footwork, as well.

In my experience, that steam blast breaks wards fast.

They can have steam attack, or frozen attack. And you can't be a nordic dunmer  :-\ So, it depends on the centurion you meet. And I'm not fan of wards either, imo, they cost a lot of mana, you need a hand to use them, and they're not very good.

Allow me to introduce you to the Spellbreaker a shield that also creates wards and can block even dragon shouts and centurion steam.

I just pump centurions full of arrows, it takes a lot but I rarely take a hit. Archery is so broken.

I still think lycanthropy works the best. Sure, you're a bit more vulnerable but that added speed and attack power completely obliterates them without getting a scratch. Just need to work on that footwork and you're good to go. Even better if you put in some lycanthropy perks.
