Either way, you'll enjoy a nice buff in your Light Armor, Long Blade, and Athletics. If you want more hitpoints at level one, go with the male (Endurance 40) but if you want to be more likeable (Speechcraft and Mercantile) from the start, choose the female (40 personality). The male Dunmer stands out with excellent Speed (50) a well as good Agility and Strength (40). The governing attributes for the rogue's skills are indeed, first and foremost, Speed (3 skills), followed by Strength (Long Blade and Axe), Personality (Speechcraft and Mercantile), and Agility (Light Armor and Block). Skills, Race, and Birthsignįor the Rogue, we are looking at personality and speed. For more general role-playing mod recommendations, you can check this guide. So instead, I want to suggest ways to play a class and mods that can make the experience fresh and more unique. In addition we tend to always want to play the same way, with the same style, the same weapons, the same game play. This series is not about the ultimate build, let's face it, sooner or later your character will be a god-killer whether you min-max or not.
For those who watch my let's plays and livestreams, you'll know that we're all about role-playing and not at all about min-maxing.
