buttersnatch Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 The thief I'm role-playing as doesn't really mesh well with the DB, but my sorceress does. In the past I know the DB has been pretty stealth oriented. So to anyone who has played the Skyrim DB, will I not get as much out of the DB as a mage?

efikmalydoskonaly Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I'm playing a mage doing DB right now, and it does bother me a little. I think it's more fun with a stealthy character. I tried that, but I'm to weak at stealth. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handofbane Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Playing the DB as a mage is quite a bit rougher, but very doable. You may not get nearly as much of the "assassin" feel, but you have a man right there in the Sanctuary who tells you exactly how to pull it off - Festus. I believe he describes it along the lines of "Walk right up, melt their skin off, then run like mad," which is pretty much the only way to pull it off unless you are heavy on invisibility usage. Note, however, doing so can cause an extremely entertaining getaway after pulling off certain contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Note, however, doing so can cause an extremely entertaining getaway after pulling off certain contracts. 'dem mages can run fast!Seriously though, it's quite true. Me running with guard upon guard, or enemy, running after me for a mile. With some luck, you'll hit into a few cave bears and a dragon or two.Yup. I totally didn't survive that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofortheko Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 There are some missions where I think you will have trouble, where you could get overwhelmed. I think honestly you should run a mage with illusion, I mean what better reason to use illusion than for the DB storyline. Its good for a RP sense, yeah hey mr assassin you can sneak around and kill, but I can INSTANTLY disappear right in front of people hahaha.

PsYchotic666Joker Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I don't know...but i wouldn't even try it because i don't like joining every faction with a stupid jack of all trades that they make you now, so i make specific characters for certain factions and refuse to join the others, makes sense and more fun i think.

buttersnatch Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 sounds to me like i'll probably enjoy it best as a character that is at least a little stealth-based. or maybe i should just level up my mage in illusion. only time will tell. but thank you guys for your help, didn't want to just blindly start the brotherhood and realize afterwards it was better suited to another character.

Mechanorm Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) My rather rich fighter brazenly walked up to targets, murdered them in cold blood in front of multiple people, then cheeruflly paid the fine with a wink when the next Guard came up. Got to have some use for all that gold, and I completely enjoyed the Orc fighter version of stealth. Edited December 10, 2011 by Mechanorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moredhel Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Remember the Orc in Oblivion's DB? "Stealth is for sissies, just strike the fear in their heart when you charge in, clad in heavy armor, bellowing your rage whilst swaying your axe left and right!" I loved that guy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
