SpellAndShield Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Of course there are no classes anymore but these three races seem 'stealthy' races and seem to have decent bonuses for 'assassin' skills: AcrobaticsAlchemyBladeLight ArmorMarksmanSecuritySneak Argonian Skills +10 Athletics and Security +5 Alchemy, Blade, Hand to Hand, Illusion, and Mysticism Bosmer Skills +10 Alchemy, Marksman, and Sneak +5 Acrobatics, Alteration, and Light Armor Khajiit Skills +10 Acrobatics and Hand to Hand +5 Athletics, Blade, Light Armor, Security, and Sneak Acrobatis and Hand to Hand are out so it would seem the Bosmer has the most relevant skills? What race do people think would make the best assassin in Skyrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIROryuu Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The million dollar question is going to be if they will keep similar values. They might drastically change what each race gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might drastically change what each race gets. Some bonuses will have to go, such as hand to hand and acrobatics so some skill bonuses might be changed...but the others will still be there I imagine.

I'm sure they won't completely change it due to the fanbase. They have the creative control though, they can take any liberties they want in terms of the characters.

We can still play an 'assassin' class...just play like an old assassin, minus acrobatics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIROryuu Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We can still play an 'assassin' class...just play like an old assassin, minus acrobatics...I'm talking purely about the character stats. I don't think they've said more then each character will have different traits and some kind of special ability. They've gone to great length to say you can do anything. Sure some races will be better at doing certain things, but I have this feeling they'll try to make it more equal. So people can play what they like as apposed to what is best.

I still think racial distinctions are important. I mean, I like the idea that a bosmer or khajiit is a better thief/assassin than a Nord or an Orc...and vice versa with a warrior...

Not everyone will think that way. Even I'll give myself handicaps, using characters in ways they aren't intended for, or ones that will have difficulty learning the skills I force apon them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconix Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I don't necessarily think Alchemy would fall under the stealth category, I would think it's more of a magic skill,that said, I've always favored using a dark elf as an assassin. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

((from the first post in Skyrim information: * There are 18 skills. * Warrior-type Skills: Smithing, Heavy Armor, Block, Two-handed, One-Handed and Archery. * Mage-type Skills: Enchanting, Destruction, Alteration, Conjuration, Restoration and Illusion. * Thief-type Skills: Alchemy, Light Armor, Speech, Sneak, Lockpicking and Pickpocketing. )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
