I love playing an assassin, and i'm sure many of you do too. I would like to know what race you like playing as an assassin, and what skills you level up in most. Tanks for your time. Oh, and i'm sorry, I know that some of the skills in the poll might not be in eso, but i just took the skyrim skills from the wiki.

Dunmer all the way.

Khajiit second.

thank all of you for your time, I very much appreciate your time and would love if you kept telling me, and every one else, what you think you should play as for an assassin build.

There will be millions of dunmer, khajiit, bosmer and argonian stealth characters, be different and roll an orsimer thief. And the skill system will be a lot different in ESO so nobody can give you any advice on choosing your primary skills yet.

It's hard to say what race is the best for this role because both Breton and Dunmer would be a good choice if the previous games are anything to go by. But even then they are good in their own unique way which can be mitigated over time with extensive use of those abilties.

In ESO just like in the singleplayer TES games your race choice only really makes an impact on your play style on lower levels due to the races different starting stats.

As you level up any race can max any stat so in the end-game an orc can be just as viable as a magic/melee assassin as any other race.

Use your imagination and get creative

As far as I know in ESO every race has its own skill tree like the class trees, guild trees, weapontrees and so on. I would assume there is much more difference between races than in TES games.

Not entirely sure about this so don't flame me if I'm wrong

It is however my impression that in ESO your skill tree is decided by your class selection, and not your race selection, no?

I also believe that any race can start out as any class?

As I said I am not entirely sure about this, so I may be entirely wrong of course

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Any race has always been viable when it comes to "classes" so...

TES! http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?s=35466570a9a2accbce057b6eed845379&&app=forums&module=extras§ion=legends#

In ESO it works like that (only an example):

select a class Sorcerer --> get access to the skill tree (skill set or what ever) "Sorcerer"

select a race Altmer --> get access to the skill tree "Altmer"

while playing:

equip light armor (at least one piece) --> get access to the skill tree "Light Armor"

equip destruction staff --> get access to the skill tree "Destruction Magic"

fulfill some requirements and become a vampire -->get access to the skill tree "Vampire"

join Mages Guild --> get access to the skill tree "Mages Guild"

and so on

From all those skill trees you can choose up to 6 skills which you want to use at a time.

If you switch to a sword you can no longer use "Destruction Magic" until you equip a destruction staff once again. But intead you get access to the "Sword" skill tree.

Some skill trees exclude each other. You can't be vampire and werewolf. (At least not at the same time, maybe there is some way to change that. I don't know)

Maybe Mages Guild and Fighters Guild are like that, too.

dunmer warrior

dunmer mage

dunmer thief

take your pick, all work.

now don't start picking other races, that's just silly man!

completely OT i know, but.

i really really hope it's going to be harder to lose vampirism/lycantrophy than it was in skyrim....

I agree, it should be way more better implemented and not just a "gimmick" of sorts!

On topic: a vampire would be best as a magic user! *Shivers*
