I want to play a real badass

[Moredhel]

So here is my idea:

- Race: Dark Elf (they look evil)

- Perks: Light Armor/One-handed/Archery/Sneak/?

- Factions: DB/Thieves/?

 

Should I join the Companions?

They'll say I'm strong and such, but I'll be more of a sneaky "weakling", only killing the ones who wander a bit too far from the rest of their bandit group.

 

Should I join the Empire or the Stormcloaks?

Pro for Empire: it's a great cover for me when I do the later DB quests (no-one will suspect me)

Con for Empire: done them on most of my chars already (I like alts :P )

 

Pro for Stormcloaks: CHAOS!

Con for Stormcloaks: They'll treat me like crap, being an elf.

 

How do you play your badass chars?

I had a different idea of a Badass character. to me an orc warrior with a mohawk, 2 hander battleaxe, pwning face. :whistling: my view on the word - character. stealth assassin my opinion would be a sissy not wanting to come out and fight like a man. but i have been a very big fan of warriors and 2 handers :biggrin:

Any race will do.

 

Go sneak, archery, light armour, one handed. Enchant so your items do extra damage or whatever.

 

Join thieves guild and DB

 

Companions are a bunch of goody two shoes "honourable this", "honourable that" . Makes me wanna puke. Their quests are a waste of time.

 

Don't join either side. Kill anyone for fun and profit.

 

Do the quests that lower your morals (e.g. Boethiah's Calling and that sort of stuff).

 

My current char is mostly this, sort of learnt where I wanted to go as I levelled, unfortunately after I'd spent way too much in destruction (started as a mage, ended up more assassin type, but wasted too many perks).

 

Next char will be better skilled.
