Hiya.

So, I'm a level 62 Khajiit assassin. The Dark Brotherhood was by far my favorite storyline, for the amusement and the money.

When I say assassin, I mean 100 sneak, 100 light armor, and 100 arching with nearly full perks. I also have 100 illusion, because it has proven to be quite useful when you're an assassin. Of course, I have 100 smithing for my weapons and armor/weapon upgrades. I kill everyone in the game in one hit, with daggers.

Okay, so, does anyone else besides me actually use daggers and assassin armors? And does anyone else know about the Ancient Shrouded armor? I feel like it's the best assassin armor ever. Great armor rating and great effects as well. Also, when you're Khajiit, you're not allowed to wear cowls, or should I say that you can equip cowls without taking on the physical appearance of the cowl. So, when you get the Ancient Shrouded Armor, the headpiece is an Ancient Shrouded Hood. There is a glitch (for Khajiits only) where you can wear a cowl and a hood at the same time, both armor ratings included and both effects included, which is awesome. The physical appearance only shows the hood, though. By the way, the Ancient Shrouded Armor looks exactly like the regular Shrouded Armor, but the effects are much better and the Armor Rating is nearly doubled.

Anyone have a say on any of this? I would love to discuss with anyone.

Rei

I don't have much to say besides it dissapointed me that it didn't look like older armor just the same.

Yeah, I'm not going to lie, but the looks disappointed me as well. Could've at least added cooler stuff, but I'm very content with the armor rating and effects.

IT may be some pretty epic armor, if you're going the "archetype" for an assassin. However.

I play a heavy-armor assassin (weird, but it works, really well). Ebony Mail not only gives you a massive boost to sneak (or maybe just undetectability), but it also constantly deals poison damage to any enemy in melee range. As for the actual Shrouded gear, I think it looks kinda dumb. No offense.

My heavy assassin is, of course, heavy armor, 100 sneak, 100 lockpicking, 10 heavy armor, around.. 70 archery? 100 one handed. She wields just a sword and a smile. no offhand spell, no shield.. It's been pretty tough going, but damn, it's been fun as hell.
