IIRC the goggle were part of the DB outfit, the assassins that attacked you had like a leather mask with a single goggles or something. it was a fairly weird costume



Put on that much skintight leather and then tell me you dont squeak with every step you make lol. i think loose silk would be best, for sneaking at least, not much for armor but maybe a leather briastplate but other than that, it just weighs the assassin down and makes unnecessary noise. the point to assassins clothing is that you want to be able to get in and out without being seen or heard so if your any good then armor isnt necessary, still should wear a little like the briastplate just in case though. Thats my opinion anyway.

really but do the npc's keep spawning or do u kill everyone in the game? :flamethrower:

As I stated in a different thread, Thank goodness I went Smithing/Enchanting early on. My Charaters won't be caught dead prancing around skyrim in a tight fitting, bulge in the wrong place, leotard.

Character(s)*

As the Devil's advocate here, the DB are sort of on their last legs in Skyrim. In Oblivion they were at their peak of power and its members were as a result quite arrogant. In Skyrim you have a motley assortment of left overs. As for the outfit, its true wearing it as an obvious look to it, but I don't think its an out fit meant to be seen, Obviously you would wear common street clothes or whatever if were in a public place. Anyway, yeah the Skyrim DB doesn't look as menacing as the one in Morrowind or Oblivion but I think that was the point.

LOL

Red splashes and metal studs?

Practical for a WWE tag team maybe. A super secret society of assassins, not so much.

is that a lod reference lol

If they changed the tightness in next patch most likely not, i would be happy but don't really care about colours, does anyone think the hood of the DB armor doesn't fit

They remind me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc1am3KyYgA ROFL

The Dark Brotherhood, now that their existence is common knowledge, even to small children, decided that their best defence was to distract from the high level assassins through the creation of a sub-guild unaware of the true rulers of the brotherhood.

The sub-guild was charged with the creation of obvious guild houses outside of cities, and the employment of common thugs to the brotherhood, who would gleefully don "I'm an evil assassin" clothes.

The real dark brotherhood set themselves up with the facade of the Bards Guild, wearing regular clothes, refined tastes, and an ability to enter the houses of the nobleman and commoner equally and without suspicion.

Thus the elite assassins created a throwaway sub-set whom could be exterminated without any real damage to the true brotherhood.

lol *throws lydia up for a Doomsday Device*

I think it kind of looks like a suit made by a fan devoted to Oblivion's DB, but as much as everyone was dissapointed, I actually enjoyed the DB questline, I thought it was different to how something like that would usually work out.

"Have you seen those members of the Dark Brotherhood?" They got Curved Swords.

Curved.

Swords.

The dark brotherhood outfit is much more than the armor. The clothes of the assassins looks absolutely killer! Who'd need armor anyways?

I really have to ask where Mr Always-be-politically-correct - Moderator Big L is. This thread shows some serious homophobia and needs to be closed and edited more than the ridicolous amounts of threads where Mr L showed up and edited "learn not to flame, be nice!" unter every 2nd post.

i agree

I'm hoping somebody will eventually take a page out of the 'Assassin's Creed' book in the sense that Altair's clothing was made to camouflage them amongst the religious scholars of the time, and actually results in one of said scholars being falsely identified as an assassin and killed because of it. Granted, the disguise loses some of its effectiveness when you're the only monk openly carrying a sword, but it's the attention to the fact that assassin's are supposed to walk freely among the people to be truly effective, which makes it such a good design. On that basis the DB armour should look more like the standard leather armour worn by many NPCs, but with small tweaks such as the addition of pouches for carrying poisons, and the removal of the protective pauldrons which might inhibit free movement. Of course we shouldn't forget that there should also be a hood which covers the identity of the wearer without making them obvious in their intention of not being seen.

Imo not only would that give the armour an awesome home-made look, but would also serve both to identify and disguise DB members.

but then again.. that's just my opinion.

Ive been keeping my thief on the back burner for awhile and trying to avoid spoilers so I haven't really got a good look at them yet.

I think that thieves armor would be good but darker and long like arch-mages robes

You have me there lol. I personally never really cared, it just didn't seem to matter to much to me, in fact my assassin character wears it all the time (My enchant skill is terrible and the bonus from the armor is too good to pass up for a sneak character in my opinion.)



I haven't gotten past the second time because my game glitched up and the guy I had to talk to wouldn't talk to me, but the NPC's you get the contract from and the ones you kill are generic.

wat does generic mean?

A lot of the "sneaky" guild armor looks kinda obvious, but thats why I don't use it unless on a mission.

You would never see a bank robber walking around buying groceries with a ski-mask on.

Around town my thief will just be dressed as a mage or a beggar or something.

I most likely misspelled it but basically they don't have a real name. If you played Fallout 3, for example, in Megaton there were people named "Megaton settler". They had no name and were just kind of there. None of the contracts or the people who give them have a name, instead they have names like "Worried Noble" or "Tough Worker".

ok kool thanks for that ive played fallout 3 awesome game.
