KolstonMorbain Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) What would be good for a assassian playstyle? Edited July 17, 2017 by KolstonMorbain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olligarchy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 It really doesn't matter. Skyrim and Elder Scrolls games in general place very little emphasis on what you are at the beginning of the game, and a lot more on who you end up being. Despite races like Bosmer, Argonians and Furries having a bit of an easier time as an assassin at game start, long term their benefits will avail you very little. I've had a blast playing as Nord and Orc rogues & mages, despite them being 'warrior' races so just think of a cool backstory and pick a character look you enjoy the most.

AriaGrill Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 For lore I'd go with a dark elf or khajiit. But otherwise, it really doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuya482 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Take your pick, Olligarchy pretty much nailed it. Personally, I find intentional contradictions in race to class mixing to be fulfilling. Brief example being that in lore, a small number of some of the most insanely powerful mages have been races not really closely tied to magic, namely Zurin Arctus an Imperial, and Shalidor who was a Nord.

gayhorseporn35 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 if you're one of those nexus-idiots, then usual the preferred character would be a female nord [or breton] with incredibly skimpy armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forskyrimmods Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 An argoanian , role play as a shadowscale ;) male or female is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibldedibble Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Male wood elf. Just make sure to always eat your victims afterwards to stay true to the Green Pact. (Otherwise forskyrimmods hit the nail on the head. Shadowscales are the best.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArhibaldWest Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Whichever you want. I'd prefer Dunmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraelin Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 High ranking members of the Dark Brotherhood in the past included pretty literally all races. E.g., they had an Imperial Night Mother (Severa Magia), a Breton Speaker (Mathieu Bellamont), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolstonMorbain Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 if you're one of those nexus-idiots, then usual the preferred character would be a female nord [or breton] with incredibly skimpy armor If You think I'm a "nexus idiot" then I have to say that's incorrect I have my char's wearing full body of the sovereign armor and the Nordic hunter etc. I don't really care for the "Show more skin armors" anyways.
