    +1 from me. What hood is that, in the second picture? It's very interesting. 

    I hope you add a Playstyle section. It would help, I think.

    Hi Biscuit, 

    Nope it ain't modded. Hold Armor + Black Mage hood... and No, this is not a pic of him, though I will be uploading it soon. Pics Obtained are from various from the internet.\

    Thanks.

    Hmm... haven't really thought about playstyle sections... what would you like to see in it? If it fits, I might just come up with something to insert it in... 

    Just to be clear,i wanted to confirm if playstyle meant vids or something else.

    Thanks.

    By playstyle I mean gameplay or combat notes. How this character should perform in combat, as dictated by the roleplay. The combat style of your character. It can be changed by anyone running it, but a few guidelines might help.

    Also, you might want to move around your roleplay section a bit. It's kind of cluttered.

    Lastly, what cowl is that, in the second picture, and where can I get it?

    Hey Basani,

    Thanks for the input. So, for combat, there is this section in which I list the special moves... it really is a stealth based gameplay with combat being the last option.

    In fact,  to my knowledge, this will be one of the very few pure stealth with no magic perks or werewolf / vampirism in it.

    I will probably try to work on the videos for all my builds so that the gameplay elements can become more clearer for anyone who want to try the build out.

    As for the roleplay section, I will work on re-vamping the layout. The cowl seems to be the black mage hood, though this is not the actual intended outcome.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, the special move section's nice, but what I meant was a section where the build's approach to combat is explained. For example in The Dragon Monk, the Special Abilities section is seperate from the How to Play It section.

    The Gameplay section would be more about how to build handles combat, while the Special Movies section would be about certain special combinations of abilities that work well together. 

    The Gameplay section isn't required or anything. I just think it'd help.

    Great job. This may be what I was looking for in a Nord rogue. Now this work day is going to go extra slow as I would rather be home trying this out.

    This build is how I found the skyrim blog - I wanted to find out how other people played their assassins and came across this. I tried it out and loved it - and as an awesome bonus have been led to a little treasure trove of skyrim knowledge.

    Hi Lee, 

    Thanks for the like and letting me know of your feedback. Though it's been a while since I last visited this build, I have since given it "the treatment" and made it somewhat looking like my later builds, complete with neat layouts and everything.

    Thanks for trying out the build and I look forward to your continued support across my other builds as well.
