    Ok, what abilities do you recommend?

    I hope this works: http://www.esohead.com/calculator/skills#1.moMXxe9omii8bzIx8b0LE8wABL8wACu8ffbg8b0pO8hMZQ8hMil8bzL18rFTF8LxaV8rFnx8N7GbDM6NDm6NDi6qDG8j7bbSZ6NUM8n7mbW28x7GNsfw6Nsfi8e7Cbaqk6NaqS8P7MNdYh8zV7zzeCp48zf7zzNbo8zu7zzHfYE6zHfZd8zG7zzHQ3F8zI7zzJIoX6zJIkL8zN7zzJZcY8zA7zzKpUN8zL7zzK4EX

    You've got a good mix of magicka and stamina abilities there. The first bar is primarily for single target dps, with an aoe gap closer and a self heal (no idea if it is any good, never played a healer before). The second bar has some good aoe which will work great with silver leash. It also has some range dps too. 

    The ultimates are really just place holders, so you can pick up whatever you want.

    Hello guys!

    I'm currently at level 13 with my Khajiit Sorcerer and I'm questing through Auridon. So far, the majority of the quests have involved politics. I'm not a big fan of the theme so I have to ask: Is this going to change in the next levels / zones?

    The main story line in Auridon is definitely a little heavy on the politics with the whole Veiled Heritance thing, but a lot of the off the road settlements like Glister Vale are a lot different. After you get passed Skywatch, it definitely starts to pick up in my opinion. And when you get to Grahtwood, it starts off political but it changes pace quickly because the politics is mainly a way to transition through zones. Throughout the game you will definitely feel the political undertones in most places because that is essentially one of the two main driving forces of the story, but after the early levels it doesn't always centralize around the politics anymore.

    I've been considering a build more designed around stealth (because I'm now playing Skyrim as a "sneaky killer" Argonian who uses a bow and arrow.)

    Would this build work (or is he "Dead Argonian walking?")

    Argonian, male

      Stealth, Archery. Light Armor, Restoration, Blacksmithing, Alchemy

    His basic way of fighting is to try to get hits from unseen stealth positions (preferably poisoning his arrows first.)  Then he backs up and fires again, if necessary.

    Also, is it worthwhile to be an assassin/thief in TESO?

    Hey Jake, I just wanna start off by saying you can literally play the game however you want. The game does a lot to support variation if you're willing to look deep enough so you never have to worry about if what your doing is possible just worry about having fun. Much like Skyrim.

    Now that my little motivational speech is over, yes a stealthy assassin is definitely viable. My first suggestion is to make a nightblade. They have all of the assassin and stealth skills. They also have the Siphoning tree which has some glimpses of the old Restoration tree. In ESO your equivalent to Light Armor will be Medium Armor which is perfect for stealthy assassins. Alchemy in this game is a little funky because everything is a potion and there are no applied poisons. Instead poison is more of an effect, it can either be a weapon enchantment or some skills like those in the Bow skill line offer this effect. There is plenty of stuff for you to work with here. And if you feel like you need more healing than what the Siphon skill line gives then you could consider using a Restoration Staff as a back up to your bow.

    Btw, there is a skill line for thievery called Legerdemain that will help with picking locks and some stealthy things but it is still relatively new, along with the Justice System in general, so it doesn't have that much weight to it yet.

    I have a question about the Imperial City expansion

    (BTW, I am asking this same question on GameFAQs.)

    I am considering purchasing 5,500 Crown Store Crowns.

    With them, I would like to buy the following:

    An Adventurer Pack (500 Crowns)
    A Bag Upgrade (1,000 Crowns)
    A Bank Upgrade (1,000 Crowns)
    The Imperial City DLC (2,500 Crowns)

    However, before I commit to that, I would like to know a little more about what the Imperial City expansion is. It sounds like I could play TESO in the Imperial City from Elder Scrolls Oblivion (which I would like very much - I know the Imperial City better than TESO's locations.)

    Is that what the Imperial City expansion is?  Or does it simply add one or two extra quests and a few new monsters in one new location?

    I don't own the expansion myself but basically it adds a bunch of new combined PvP/PvE areas which include new gear, monsters and quests across several of the Imperial City's districts, as well as a few new dungeons. Supposedly it is quite sizeable and seems to be getting positive reviews (this one for example).

    Hi all,

    I've just grabbed ESO on steam but since I won't be able download and play it for about a week, I've started obsessively planning out different characters. One big question I have that I can't find an answer to online is how often do boob-plates/boob-window/other "sexy armour" crop up in female armour? Judging by some pictures I've seen I can expect to run into some, especially boob-plates, but I'd like to hear from someone who has rolled a female character how avoidable these are, and if my cosmetic options would be very limited by trying to avoid them. Otherwise I might just role a male char.
