SO this is my second toon and I like light armor cause I like to jump around a lot. Of course with the GOTY edition the DB attacks and of course I kill him...

well long story short. I used the DB armor but I haven't found anything yet that comes close to being better than it.

I feel like I'm at an advantage and want to know at what level should i expect to see armor better than the DB armor?

I hate the fact that I don't have to scrounge for my armor. But if I have DB armor available I'm using it by god..

Help me understand why such good armor is given early on at the beginning of the game!!

its.....a mistake.

I have a mod that only lets the assassins attaack when you reach the head of a guild or something.....that way by the time they attack thier gear isnt overpowered.


Before I had that mod I would kill assassins and not loot them...it gave too much of an early game advantage.

well this really svcks.

what mod is it you use? and would I have to start over again to make it work?

I found the mod but since I already have that quest in my journal will it screw something up if I use this mod??

you can easily make them stop spawning when you rest by telling the guy at ebonheart about them.

Then dump the armor and its just like it never happened.

ahh ok very good thanks alot man! seriously. good stuff .

People have been asking this question since 2002. I don't think there has ever been a consensus. From a story point of view, some folks have felt it's out of place for the Dark Brotherhood to attack a player at level 1, others have felt it makes sense.

One thing most of us do agree on is that the armor is overpowered for a level 1 character. I've had more than one character who played entire games, from level 1 right into the 40s, in DB armor.
