Rogue vs. Warrior

[DarkMan]

Hands down I've been having a gas on this rogue build the second time round. The first game I played was a Nord Warrior with two-handed hammer and bow combo with a push up the destruction tree / illusion. I had fun with that build but realize that I wanted to play the game blind without reading all the hacks and guides, so it was a struggle but did it fine up to the point I realized how much I needed smithing to really set the weapons and armor pieces to improved etc. Learned the hard way... made my mistakes, etc.

But this time I read the cookie cutter builds for Rogues, etc. and then added my own twist. Plus I made the point this time of going full tilt sneak and dual one-hands and bow combow. It's like even with a higher level on game play itself the developers truly made Sneak OP to the hilt. Backstab and just being able to distract archers in the middle of a fight by stopping does wonders for your avi ego. :)

My first game with the warrior was defintely what I wanted and yet I had to work fairly hard and concentrate, with the use of the Q button adding poisons, shouts, powers, regen, etc. While for the Rogue I have none of those issues. With archery almost maxed and sneak getting there I see consistent one-shot kills that I never had with the warrior build. Although I love playing my warriors in mmo's I have to admit the Rogue class has a heck of a better time.

Any of you guys find the same? Let's face it a Sneak/Rogue build with archery and dagger is truly killer with Backstab, etc. It's like being invisible with both skels and farms waltzing right up to you and oblivious to your presence till you whack em bam. :) What's next is I'm almost ready to begin smithing my Daedra weapons ... too bad I didn't go heavy but I actually like the improved Nightingale armor find with a coupld of special hoods and jewlery for other odd things.

I did get a few boot pieces i keep around with flame, shock, and freeze resists and neclaces too. At level 38 the dragons seem to come out of the woodwork for you at every opportuniy, too, I recenlty did one and had two dam dragons one frost and one flamer (blood) jump me. That was a bloody battle royal. Actually surprised me to see two dragons show up to the party. Is that something to expect as your move to higher levels? Or just a strange one off in the code?

Other thing I really like in this game is all the frekking paths one can take differently each game. I'm doing stuff this time I didn't even know was there the first time through, and dam I thought I'd hit it all. Even now I know there are things I'm missing as I watch the supposed achieves. Yet, I like it to be a surprise so hate to spoil it by reading up on each of them unless I get stuck on some puzzle etc. Oh, well, have a good holidays guys... heading to be.

I'll admit my Irish/German heritage... and may come from my Roustabout days as a derrickman on the Rigs... how American is that!

Stealth + Archery = Fun, fun, fun
I can't count the number of times I've shot an enemy through the eye with an arrow, only for them to look around for a few seconds and mutter "thought I heard something," before promptly returning to whatever they were doing beforehand with a shaft of wood poking out of their skull. Smashing left and right-click repeatedly to victory as a warrior-type character just feels so monotonous in comparison.

Mage ftw!

both are really fun however since i usually side against the dawnguard that means vamprism so as a result if i warrior it up i have magika regen armor on so i can still heal even in daylight. so my warriors favor one-handed weapons as a result.
