Hi,
I find myself not be able to decide for a playstyle. I want to be an assassin and a warrior. I also want to be a mage.
This was possible in oblivion and morrowind but know you cant be perfect because of the perk system. Perhaps some of you have a fine build
that allows to be a sneaky warrior?
You can still be a JOAT (Jack of All Trades). You just can't fill all the perk trees. Just remember, Skill != Perk.
100 Lockpick is still super handy, even if you don't have lockpicking perks.
100 Speechcraft is still super handy, even if you don't have speechcraft perks.
100 Heavy Armor is still super handy, even if you don't have heavy armor perks.
and so on and so forth.
If you want to be a sneaky warrior, be a warrior and sneak around. Doesn't take much forethought or balancing. Pick whichever perks you think sound fun or useful.
I'm currently an Imperial warrior with a little dip into the thieving skills. I'm perking in the heavy armor, one handed, and blocking skills. My skill in sneak, archery, and lockpicking are rising because I use them often, but I'm not taking any of their perks. Still having a BLAST!
