Almost ready to create my Khajiit assassin/thief. Just curious what all you dagger wielding assassins use in the first few levels, A) bow than dagger B. daggers C) sword :thanks:

Don't use a daggar or any weapons with a Khajiit!

Will he still get the 15x or whatever bonus when sneak attacking though?

I dont see much of a point in using daggers for anything but that stealth attack because they are much weaker than a mace hammer or sword in combat. I only use a dagger for stealth executions.

No, but he does get the 25 damage bonuses for using claws, and plus the 3X bonuses for sneak attack.

Bow and Dual wield daggers worked. Some fights get hard but that just makes it fun. BTW cool kill cam - spiking down on a saber tooths skull and driving it into the dirt.
Here kitty kitty. I levelled up archery up a bit with Faendal in the beginning - not too much - just enough to add a couple perks.

Basically went with nightblade type build, illusion alteration and dual wield daggers. i dont bother with archery, and really have no interest in constantly swapping weapons out during fights. Daggers just require more of a stealth hit and run mentality, since they do not stagger opponents and stand up fights can be tougher at times especially on master level. At higher levels stealth basically means you just sneak around insta gibing most everything anyway. an unarmed Khajitt build with enchanted gloves for bonus unarmed damage as well as backstab gloves might be quite a bit of fun. I would be curious to see, if you can use the elemental fury shout while unarmed. Couple that with bows and you have a really interesting build to be honest.

D) All of the above

When in close range, I have a sword on one hand, a dagger on the other. The power attack is simply awesome and the swift attack speed with enchantment on dagger is a godsend.

The dual power attack hits four times though, it's brutal.

Not sure about Khajiit, because i think they get bonus with unarmed attacks. But with my Dunmer Assassin, at first it felt like swords and bows are more effective than daggers but as my sneak skill got better, i eventually shifted to daggers and now I am strictly daggers, some times i use sword or axe in off hand but at the moment dagger is my weapon of choice now mainly because of shadow warrior perk.

At first this perk seemed ordinary at best but then i learned to use it effectively. It gives you a fraction of a second window to execute your sneak attack , either one hit or whole combo. Once you get this timing right (that is using ctrl key and then almost immediately either left click or left + right click) you wont be using anything other than a dagger or daggers, specially if you manage to get a full combo out (i.e. right after pressing ctrl key), of which first 2 or 3 attacks will be sneak attacks. I kill dragons in less than a combo, last frost dragon fell dead even before my first combo was over (at level 36). With 100 sneak and shadow warrior perk, i pretty much one shot everything. It doesn't matter if its a frontal assault because 95% of my attacks are sneak attacks anyway, even during a running fight. One or two shotting enemies with shadow warrior perk won't be possible with any other weapon but with daggers........ with daggers its one finishing move after the other with shadow warrior perk

Just make sure to avoid fighting in well lit areas. Indoors you won't have any problem, its only outdoors during day time when you will have some problem using shadow warrior perk effectively against high level enemies but even then you will be able to use this perk effectively at least 60% of the times during a fight, if you are quick.

EDIT: and yes with dual wielding daggers you can get four attacks in a combo, you will be very deadly if you land all of those, although nothing will be left standing after your first or second hit, if you are opening from stealth.

The faster weapon swing of dagger attacks allows weapon enchantments to take effect more often.
