yo guys!! ok i am playing a pure assassin khajiit dude, dual daggers and bow
now i have not come across any dragons yet as doing the DB quests (24hrs+) and prob gonna start it after i finish these but any of you 'pure' classes who are not magic users gonna delve into shouting a little?
apart from using my racial night eye a couple times, i have not used magic once, i heal with potions but i am very tempted to use shouts once i get em, also gotta admit i am tempted to use the heal spell, especially when health potions are low!
whats your thoughts please people? will using shouts (or the heal spell) make me a bad rogue kitty?

The healing spell is great. With 50% lower cost and 50% better effectivity. You are not pure melee when using it, but you still kill with steel. Playing sword&shield warrior and this is the one spell I use. Shouts I got just 2 so far and the charge shout is really fun.

Well whether you use magic or not seems like a choice, but in the game you are Dragonborn so the shouts are what make you unique. They have a different feel to them than magic and I think they work really well to make you feel 'special', unless you don't want that? They won't make you a bad kitty, but a bad ass kitty^^

I wanted to avoid using shouts entirely playing as a pure warrior, but unfortunately the game kind've pushes you to use them on several occasions.

Shouts are a natural part of being the Dovahkiin, whether you are a warrior or mage. Tiber Septim was a great warrior, yet he used them too.

dont use restoration unless magic is part of your archetype. It'll cause you to level up, so you better be willing to level up faster than you would if you just used potions

thats not true because the lower the skill value, the less it adds to your level when you increase your rank. for instance, a level 5 skill will not advance you as fast as a level ten skill. if you spread yourself around to all skills you will gain levels slower but yet still become better at everything

So does crafting and lockpicking and bartering and doing alchemy and enchanting and bunch of other stuff ... I don't see a problem with that.

thanks for the replies guys!! yeah i think i will use shouts then
cheers all!!
