If you want to role-play a Shadowscale, you’re a little obligated to pick the Shadow Birthsign, of course! Otherwise, I like the Atronach. There is even a Shadowscale race mod by Xenn. Their skill buffs don't exactly align with the Assassin’s, but +15 Athletics is cool, and +5 Alchemy is useful if you want to use poisons… ( Ahem, you do!). Lore-wise, the Shadowscale is the ultimate Argonian Assassin with ties to the Dark Brotherhood. Let’s also consider the male Argonian, who boasts 50 Agility, excellent Speed, and decent Intelligence (40). Moreover, they are prime candidates to join the Morag Tong.

Let’s not forget that their buff in Light Armor and Short Blade comes in handy too. The Assassin is an interesting case, according to the description, Intelligence and Speed are the main attributes, and looking at the skills, you basically have all Agility based skills so you'll increase this attribute faster than any other.ĭunmers make fine assassins, with an excellent starting Speed (50), and pretty good Agility and Intelligence stats. For more general role-playing mod recommendations, you can check this guide.

So instead, I want to suggest ways to play a class and mods that can make the experience fresh and more unique. In addition we tend to always want to play the same way, with the same style, the same weapons, the same game play. This series is not about the ultimate build, let's face it, sooner or later your character will be a god-killer whether you min-max or not. For those who watch my let's plays and livestreams, you'll know that we're all about role-playing and not at all about min-maxing.
