Hello there, I've been playing around with the idea of making an assassin who is out of the ordinary. A race you wouldn't really imagine being an assassin. Like an Orc or a Nord. I know it's personal preference and at some point on the game, race doesn't matter. But, that's not what it's about. I want to know what race you think would least likely go the stealth route.

Orcs, Redgaurds, Nords, and Altmer.

You do know that Astrid and her husband are both Nords, do you?
I would say Orc would be the least likely to go that route. They would just smash your face in.

Aren't we forgetting someone? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Gogron_gro-Bolmog

All of the races have been represented in the Dark Brotherhood, but of all of them, Orcs definitely stick out like a sore thumb. So, Malacath's favored sons it is IMO.

The DB in Skyrim isn't really stealthy. They're more like Gogron gro-Bolmog from Oblivion.

An Orc who was raised by Bosmer (muscle is all the way up so he's huge) and so he always considered himself small like the Bosmer so he thought he was sneaky and agile but really he's a big lug and stuff. Idk it's 5 am gimme a break

Why would someone raised by Bosmer, who are based on stealth, archery, and speed, be muscle-y?

Well I wouldnt call him assassin. He just kicks the door in and slays everyone. Sound more like some crazy thug and not like a professional assassin.

Assassin just means someone who kills with surprise. I'm pretty sure it's pretty surprising when someone knocks down your door and beats you to death.

Natural Orc size? Idk man! I was just thinking of elf.
