****EDIT: "Bult"? ... dont ask...


Howdy all, chomping at the bit like the rest of you Im browsing the forums trying to pass the time and thought Id chime in/get some opinions. The only skill I KNOW I will be taking is Archery, beyond that and for other main skils Im open to suggestions!

What Im looking to do here is build the ULTIMATE Archer Assassin and while the term ULTIMATE can be highly subjective here is what I would like out of the class, Im also hoping to hear some "outside the box" ideas in terms of how skills and perks may work with eachother -

1) Archery perks maxed

2) The ability to end most all standard 1vs1 and even some group encounters at ranged so long as I get the drop on my target first

3) High survivability and evacuation options should the need arise

4) High mobility

5) If the oppertunity prsents itself Id like to be able to "aquire" a few nice objects or valueables when I need to supplement my income from adventuring!

Few other things that interest my playstyle:

1) The ability to manipulate conversations (Speech Craft?)

2) Magic use but limited to NON damaging skills or summoing

3) The ability to "live off the land" I want to be able to rely on myself rather then vendors as much as possible

Thanks all!

Be a wood elf

While simplicity is appreciated that is the most NON FUN/CREATIVE answer ever!

Primary - Archery / Lt Armor / Illusion / Alteration - Focus on placing majority of perks

Secondary - Alchemy / Speach - focus on placing less amount of perks

Figure a Level 50 and 49 total perks. View the trees.

Do we even know what skills will be in the game? (noob warning)
I'm thinking about something similar though.. I love the idea of archery, but i know that the "ooh shiny!" in me will want to stick to melee weapons anyway, just to be able to use all the shiny cool weapons i find.
Bows tend to be less impressive in games, sadly.. With the exception of some asian mmo's. God i hope the bow designs in Skyrim are outrageously flamboyant and fun.

Conjuration. Because that conjured bow looks badass.

I actually find it enjoyable to use magic along with my archer. Maybe take into consideration some Destruction and Restoration?

Funny you mention this...

I was toying with the idea of a Classic D&D type Cleric build but with the bow replacing the mace and shield:

Archery
Destruction (Lighting focus)
Restoration
Speach
Medium/Heavy Armor

On the flipside how bout an ArcherMancer! Necro focus with Archery

Lots of options!

I was expecting a thread where you had built the most powerful archer. instead I see that you want us to build your archer for you.

Hence the edit at the top of my OP....sorry brother
