    Hi All,

    Build revamped and made to look neater. Not adding in dragonborn content cause this build really doesnt need anything from DB, save maybe a plant or 2 for alchemy, but meh.... We can live without it.

    Great build but one quick question: why the ring of namira? You said you'd be a neutral-good character, but cannibalism doesn't sound like a neutral/good quality

    Hi Scimaster,

    Apologies for the late reply... been pretty busy as of late and didnt really have enough time to focus on builds. Anyways, in response to your question, fair enough, though it's more of a gameplay reason as to why i included that in.

    Here's how i see it:

    • The priest of arkay in the ring of namira quest is a scoundrel and a jerk, as compared to the priest of arkay found in solitude (visit both preists, and you're get what I mean). With or without the quest, I would have killed him anyways, cause any preists that accepts bribes and is motivated more by money than his religious duty deserves to die - Karma for you right there in action!
    • With this build, there would be sooo many dead bodies... wasted. Since this build does not include necromancy, i thought including the concept of feeding off the bodies of the unworthy and undeserving rubs in salt to the wouds. Anyone can commit a murder and can even frame the assassins for undeserving murders (ie: Windhelm's butcher murders can be pinned on the assassin to frame him up). However, if the corpse has been fed on, you'd know that it's thr assassin who struck, stamping this death as one deserving of it's death.

    Hope this helps answers your questions.

    Joined the site, joined the group just to really say that I truly enjoy this build. This build is amazing in lore wise. I will be getting a retexture of the basic Shrouded Armor which is white and brown making it look similar to the Assasin's Creed Uniform. I have a Retexture of the Assassin's Creed Revelations that changes Shrouded Armor but I'm trying to figure out how to make it change the Ancient Shrouded Armor. You know I really like how you were able to keep things in a lore way, and you even went out of your way to explain how one would roleplay this out. It's so well done I would love to see a walkthrough of it. Thank you again for this build.

    EDIT: Oh ya I almost forgot, with this build, I really believe that the Throwing Weapon Redux mod would compliment this build really well since you go up in both Archery and in Alchemy. It's something I will be doing as well.

    Although I don't agree with the way you portray assassin's in the build, this is still a well presented build deserving of quite a few more likes. +1

    Hi Usiel, welcome to the blog & group and thanks for the like and comment!  I have been wanting to do videos for some of my older builds, but I never seemed to have the time either due to work, my family or other real life commitments.

    I am currently working on a very unique build and hope to start vids & dragonborn updates for this and other of my builds that most find popular.

    Glad to know that my builds have inspired you and i think that the mods you have suggested would be along with this beautifully.

    Thanks.

    What mod did you use for the armor in the picture of the gear?

    Can't remember mate, but it was a pic i got off the net while searching for pics of assassins in Skyrim. Came across this really cool pic and thought I would use it. It's got a "strider" like feel to it aye?

    Love this build. I usually end up playing as an assassin character. I always use magic as one, but seeing this makes it seem a bit more difficult and worth playing :D Just one question though. In your quest section you say this about Dawnguard 

    • Dawnguard – Complete till level 45. Gain Waraxe from there and Join Dawnhguard.

    I have never played Dawnguard and I'm a bit confused about this part. Are you saying to play until you are level 45 then start Dawnguard or play Dawnguard until level 45 and get a war axe before joining?
