Hey, is it just me that feels forced to play a build with at least some sneak in it in order to do all the quest lines? IMO It just wouldn't feel right to do the thieves guild or dark brotherhood quest lines as a heavy armor wielding warrior, because it just wouldn't feel right plus it would be difficult and weird. And I know this isn't a problem for some of you who don't mind having multiple characters (like for example one Mage character, one Thief and one Warrior etc). But I would really like to play a heavy armor wielding Nord, who uses sword and shield. And having multiple characters is just not an option for me, cos I like having only one character to focus on.

Doing the companions quest line as a sneak build is better than doing the Thieves guild or DB quests as a heavy armor warrior build. Know what I mean? And the College of Winterhold quests are OK to do with any character IMO because you don't actually need any magic to do the quests, except some simple level 1 skills that you have to use once in a while for a puzzle or something like that...

So my point is; should I just do them anyway? Will it be impossible to do the thieves guild or DB as a heavy armor warrior? Cos when I first make a character I want that character to be able to do every quest

Also, I won't make a hybrid class just so you know

I have made a heavy armoured Redguard assassin who never sneaks.

Heavy Armored characters really shouldn't be doing the TG and DB. But whatever.

You do everything with a single character every single time? Maybe you need some variety. Don't do everything with one. Spice things up a bit.

So basicly if I want to play a heavy armor character I have to sacrifice the stealth based questlines? Damn, what a bummer xD

Maybe I should just make another stealth archer lol

You can do the stealth based questlines as a heavy armoured non-stealth character.

I'm not saying that. But to me, that doesn't make much sense.

Yeah I CAN do them, but I mean this is an RPG game, who would join the thieves guild when they are a heavy armor wielding warrior that doesn't use stealth? That is a bummer because it's pretty much the same as saying if you wan't to play this, you can't do that. But I guess this just applies to people who don't want to make multiple characters, lol.

have you played oblivion.

oblivion Dark brotherhood spoiler

It is possible to do TG and DB with Heavy Armor. I've done it before, just make sure you have the perk that allows for no noise to be made or have the (lord?) stone activated.

Companions, Dragonborn, Dawnguard and dungeon quest IMO would suit your character build.

I don't really understand. Most factions in the game 'allow' for broad playstyles: the Dark Brotherhood has a Werewolf and a Mage as well as run-of-the-mill assassins; Companions have Aela the Huntress, who is in fact a Thief; there is no real prejudice with the Civil War factions; even the Thieves guild uses guys like 'Dirge' and can reward some excellent melee combat gear. You aren't forced to play any particular way. Some 'ways' make more sense than others from a roleplaying point of view, and might gain more benefit from some specialist gear, but that's about it.
