Assassin's Creed Inspired Build

Post » Tue Oct 09, 2012 11:45 am

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was a game which I invested countless hours into after purchasing it on the first day of its release in 2011, but the excitement of it has since worn off after experiencing most of the main quests, exploring all the cities and testing almost all the various character builds one could possibly think of. Whilst Dishonored releases in a couple of days along with countless other great games later this month and onto the approach of Christmas, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops, I don't see any potentially great RPG games (unless some have slipped under my radar) in the pipeline. It is because of this that, whilst I certainly don't intend on playing it as religiously as previously, I feel it is worth returning from my roughly 4 month period of hiatus from the game. However, I feel that I really must give role-playing its first proper go because, unlike other games, Skyrim doesn't really let you define your character through set actions within the game (such as choosing to side with the bad guys or the good guys) and instead relies on your own imagination and interpretation of things. In my opinion, this is both its biggest flaw and biggest attraction. Regardless, many users here suggested that I base a role-play off of something which interested and, consequently, I choose Assassin's Creed. As a video-game and history love, Assassin's Creed is simply amazing! I want to make a character build inspired by this great franchise, so does anyone have some recommendations as to how I should go about this?

Use a glass dagger? Be sneaky? Use Ethereal alot when jumping off cliffs? Also use a bow, i'm not that good at things to add. How do you RP assassins creed guy, just RP a normal assassin or what character are you?

Just don't do anything not in the AC universe.
Use the same weapons, daggers and what not.
I would avoid doing any of the guilds except DB.

There is some clothes you can use like the monk outfit.
It's a shame there is not more choose of clothing in the vanilla game, are you on PC?

I am on the Xbox and I didn't say I want to RP as a guy from Assassin's Creed, but rather just play as an assassin that is heavily inspired by Assassin's Creed. I was thinking of having dual-daggers and just plain clothes. Mix it in with some alteration to get me some armour rating and boom.

If your on PC check this mod out, I use it myself. Masters of Death - Rise of the Brotherhood. It adds a armor that looks almost exactly like AC armor and its very high res and well done. You'll love it. theres also a mod that will simulate hidden blades. Its called: Dwarven Mechanical Equipment.
