A subreddit dedicated to the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. No Slurs or Personal Attacks.
The PC version currently has Horse Armor mods which will add various armor styles to horses. Does armor color affect stealth in Skyrim? No, the actual look of your armor has no affect on. For Skyrim, I previously shared some of my favorite modded clothing for mages, Akiviri-related gear, and light armor mods.This post covers some nice heavy-armor mods. Difficulty levels. I usually play mages and stealthy rogues leaving heavy armor choices for followers. The dark brotherhood by far has the best armor for stealthers. Gloves have x2 backstab while sneaking, boots have muffle, helm has bow damage I think? Either way, with a perk in light armor for 25% bonus for wearing all light armor, then a second perk for wearing a matching set, you will be golden until you can craft your own dragon scale armor.

The assassin class has always been my favorite class to play as in Skyrim. I put nearly a year into a Shadowscale character on the PS3, and then I built my own gaming PC and discovered the magic of mods. I've installed and tested countless mods in the past few months and have compiled what I believe to be the best mods for an assassin character here into one place.: SkyRe, as it's more commonly known, is a complete overhaul of the game. It changes perk trees, combat mechanics, racial abilities, weapons and magic, and much more. It rebalances the game and makes things a lot more realistic, and is even fully compatible with Frostfall that everyone loves so much. It makes Sneak a lot more realistic by rebalancing your ability to remain hidden, and boosts enemy AI. No longer will enemies stop searching for you 10 seconds after you shoot them in the face from across the room.
Very highly recommended. Disclaimer: I have never used any other overhaul like Requiem or ACE, so I can't compare them objectively. SkyRe was the first overhaul I used, and it's so awesome I've never had a reason to uninstall it.: Not needed if you use SkyRe, as it has been fully integrated. Sneak Tools gives stealthy characters a slew of new options and makes sneaking a lot more comprehensive.
You can now craft and upgrade a plethora of special arrows and bolts for different situations. Rather than simply slitting throats, you can now knock an NPC unconscious if you use a mace or other heavy club-like weapon. You can craft identity-concealing masks, and extinguish fires to keep hidden in the shadows.: Not needed if you use SkyRe, as it has been fully integrated. This mod adds lots of different longbows into the game. All vanilla bows will be considered Shortbows or Light Bows.
Longbows shoot farther and do more damage at the cost of having a much longer draw time. Conversely, shortbows have a much quicker draw time and allow faster movement speed when drawn, but have less range and do less damage.
SkyRe fully integrates this mod and gives each bow type (as well as crossbows) their own branch in the perk tree.: This mod adds in what should have been in Skyrim from the get-go. Each area of the body is given a zone, and damage to a particular bodyzone can cause more damage or various effects, such as disarming when hit in the right arm, or temporarily slowing the target when hit in the legs or feet. The mod is fairly script-heavy and can cause some issues, especially when you are fighting lots of NPCs at the same time. If it gives you problems, do what I did and turn off all body zones except for the head and neck, and focus solely on headshots.: If you want to look like an assassin sent directly by Sithis himself, then this is the mod for you. It gives you a short quest to unlock a totally badass armor that comes in both light armor and cloth variants. By completing the quest, you will be able to craft multiple color variations of either armor set, so you can change your look depending on your character.
It even has multiple variants for each female body replacer mod, if you use one (CBBE, UNP, etc.). You can install it as a standalone, or as a replacer for the fugly vanilla DB armor. Highly recommended.: If you're like me and play without the crosshair, then you need this mod. It adds scoped variants of most of the bows in the game, and is even fully SkyRe compatible.
Makes longbows infinitely more fun and immersive.: This one adds 39 new spells in 8 different classes, each with 10 different upgrades per spell. Some of the spells are fantastic for stealth characters, but the mod as a whole is great for any character, not just assassins. The is another great choice, but its spells aren't as stealth-friendly as FMR's are.: Show of hands, who here has played Dishonored? If you have, then you know how amazing the powers in that game are. Wouldn't it be great if you could have those powers in Skyrim too? You are recruited by the Outsider to seek out his runes, 6 in total, which give you all 6 of Corvo's unique powers.
Blink is the most fun I've ever had with any spell in Skyrim. You need this mod. Highly recommended.: This mod extends the vanilla DB questline and introduces two new, fully-voiced characters/followers, each with their own story and quests. It ties up a few loose ends and eventually leads you to the biggest treasure trove you've ever seen in your life.If there are any great assassin-friendly mods that I've missed, post them up. Now go forth and make some heads roll in the name of the Dread Lord.
I find marksmanship more gratifying without crosshair and without scope. I'm a really bad FPS player and I still manage to hit things at a distance so it mustn't be that difficult and it's damn fun.The only mod I really need for this build (my stealth char is my main one) is Path of Shadow. I tend not to use big gameplay overhauls like SkyRe, I have specific needs that requires specialized mods so I wouldn't know if there's a way to make SkyRe compatible with Path of Shadows.PS: When you're frontally fighting someone, the 0.5 sec of slow time when you crouch followed by sneak roll, half-turn and backstab/throat slicing makes for an awesome execution.
Bethesda Game Studios has received criticism recently for the release of Fallout 4 in comparison to other current open-world games. Critics and fans alike felt that Bethesda Game Studios didn't do enough to justify it as a whole new entry in the series. It was regarded as a good game, doing everything right that Fallout 3 did, but didn't necessarily take the franchise to the next level. A lot of people credit this to their in-house engine and feel that a studio like Bethesda should have no excuses for upgrading when their games have such a long development cycle.Either way, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was a great game for its time, and there are so many new things people are discovering to this day. Today, however, we're focusing solely on the armor sets in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and ranking the best and worst sets in the game. You'll definitely see some familiar favorites as well as a couple of obscure sets that take some patience and effort to acquire. Via ign.comThe Dragonscale Armor set is one that could have been placed literally anywhere on the best armor side of this list.
It's one of the most cost effective light armors sets and gives players the ability to enchant it. The main reason why it's not higher on the list has to do with its lack of natural enchantments as well as a reliance on the user having high enchantment and smithing skills to take it to the next level. It also gets bonus points for being one of the cooler looking sets in Skyrim. It comes in with a defense of 82 without a shield which puts it as one of the more tanky sets for light armor wearers. That number boosts up to a respectable 111 with the inclusion of a shield. Dragonscale Armor provides a lot of protection and intimidation but is best used late game.
Via vg247.comNow, Imperial Armor isn't necessarily terrible. Bethesda did a great job designing the armor sets in such a way that most of them do serve a specific purpose. The Imperial Armor set is going to be the first heavy armor set that 95% of players run into. It carries the same defensive statistics as iron armor but carries the advantage of being obtained both earlier and easier in the game. Imperial Armor also has the bonus of giving the player choices in terms of variety. There are 3 different helmets for this armor set, and each carries slightly different statistical variations.
The Imperial Armor set isn't atrocious, it just isn't that good either. Don't be ashamed to rock it early in the game but don't be afraid to move on to bigger and better heavy armor sets. Via gamemodding.netThis set is the premier selection for anyone with an ounce of Magicka in their bones.
The Archmage's Robes are excellent in terms of enchantments but don't provide a whole lot in terms of actual defense. That being said, wearers are treated to the following bonuses: All spells cost 15% less to cast, +50 Magicka, and Magicka regenerates 100% faster.
These robes turn even the most novice of mages into a true threat that shouldn't be trifled with. The set itself isn't easy to obtain seeing as you'll have to complete the entire questline pertaining to the College of Winterhold. If you're serious about becoming a mage with absolute power be prepared to make this a priority in your next playthrough of Skyrim. Via dualshockers.comIron Armor is a set that doesn't really do much of anything. Its armor rating of 60 is about average, and the banded version of the armor doesn't offer much of an upgrade as it sits at an armor rating of 63. A huge and glaring problem with the Iron Armor set is that it doesn't benefit from smithing perks, and thus you won't receive double improvement. At first, I was willing to write off Iron Armor as a non-issue considering it's meant to be an early game set and help players get into the groove of things.
Skyrim Stealth Armor Mod
However, Steel Armor can be obtained and used as early as level two so it seems like that whole case can be thrown out the window. Iron Armor should be nothing but an afterthought seeing as there are easy upgrades and better choices right at your fingertips.
Via pinterest.comIt was really tough deciding where on this list the Nightingale Armor set would land. It's a great set of armor with some decent full set bonuses as well as a pair of reasonable enchantments. The real issue is that the set isn't easy to obtain and it doesn't obtain the ability to enchant it any more than it already has been. The armor set is interesting and is a flavorful reward during the Thieves Guild questline, but it falls short in some areas. If you're looking for a stamina boost or protection from frost, then this set should be at the top of your list. It also provides the player with slight buffs to their lockpicking, muffling of boots, illusion spell cost, and one-handed weapon damage.
Don't let the ranking fool you. The Nightingale Armor is a set worthy of acquiring.
Via elderscrolls.wiki.comThe Fur Armor set falls in the middle of this list in regards to the worst armor sets and it couldn't have been placed any better. It's a set of armor that doesn't provide a whole lot of protection and doesn't really scale in terms of improvement and smithing. It's an armor set that's bad, but not necessarily bad enough to be terrible — just forgotten.
In any situation, the worst thing you can do is fall somewhere in the middle, and that's exactly where this set lands. Nothing good ever comes of it. Here's to Bethesda for giving the Fur Armor a higher armor rating than Hide Armor, even though it covers less of the character's body. Via gamepur.comAre you surprised to see another set of robes on this list?
The reason that Miraak's Robes are higher on this list than the Archmage's is due to it providing protection from other mages, as well as a creating a chance for explosions on enemies whenever you hit them. When we're talking about armor effectiveness on its own, it's important to keep in mind how valuable a set is if it can boost your defense as well as your offense. That being said, you can easily swap Miraak's Robes with the Archmage's Robes on this list if you'd like.
It really depends on what type of mage play you prefer. At the end of the day, you should at least know that these two sets are the absolute best in terms of providing benefits to any type of mage build. Via 4skyrim.comThis spot was either going to go to Stormcloak Armor or Light Imperial Armor. Upon inspection, it was clear to see that the Stormcloak Armor set was the inferior set out of the two. The Stormcloak Armor has an inferior armor rating and doesn't include a shield so based on those comparisons alone it loses the fight. It's depressing to see that an armor set designed for a group of brave and honorable men has a lower armor rating than a piece of fur that doesn't even cover a character's entire body. The Stormcloak Armor set suffers from being an early game item that doesn't really progress beyond its beginnings.
There's no upside to investing in it early so when you're getting started you might want to head in a different armor set direction. Via elderscrolls.wiki.comFinally, the first heavy armor we've encountered on the best side of this list. Ahzidal's Armor set isn't necessarily eye-catching in terms of design, but man does it pack a punch.
The armor rating isn't actually all that impressive with this set seeing as its numbers are the same as the Steel Plate set, but it's the bonuses you receive from the entire set that set it apart. The effects gifted to the player are as follows: enemies who melee attack you have a chance to be paralyzed, water-walking, allow you to cast spells ignite and freeze, and if a creature you summon were to die in combat it combusts while delivering frost damage. This set does a lot beyond just protecting the player from massive heaps of damage and can be acquired fairly easily.
Via pinterest.comThe Hide Armor set is a beginner's set of armor that isn't really found at the very beginning of the game. Which is, of course, a big problem. It offers an abysmal armor rating of 40, though you do have the option to craft a shield alongside the armor to boost your defense, unlike both the Imperial Light and Stormcloak Armor sets. It's not really even the best early game craftable set of armor. The Leather Armor set beats out multiple armor sets in the early game and is easily crafted with a little elbow grease.
From an objective standpoint, this would be considered the worst armor set in the game if a couple of other sets didn't fall through so hard in regards to expectations and implementation. Via blogqpot.comThough I'm not a fan of the name of the armor set, Deathbrand Armor is a solid set of protection. It's the best armor set in terms of pure protection for light armor characters. Wearing it as a full set provides the player with tons of cool buffs including an increased carrying capacity as well as water-breathing. Your stamina also sees a ton of improvement as it's increased by 15 for each piece of Deathbrand Armor worn. The armor set can be acquired through the side quest called Deathbrand.
The armor itself has an interesting design. It's a frosty blue hue that seems to be built based on a Nordic set. If you're looking for the Daedric Armor equivalent for light armor you've come to the right set. Via elderscrolls.wiki.comThe Skaal Armor set is not only one of the worst sets in Skyrim but an odd addition to the Dragonborn DLC which added a slew of new and better items to the world around you. This seems like it was added as an aesthetic tone piece rather than something the designers felt would see heavy use rates. The armor rating for the Skaal set sits at 46, which isn't terrible, but the set lacks the ability to be crafted, upgraded, or boosted by smithing and smithing perks. With this fact alone that means that every other set in the game that can be boosted or upgraded will be more beneficial to players than the Skaal Armor set.
In any case, the set itself does have the redeeming quality of being a cool design that allows your character to look like a disciple of Genghis Khan. Via elderscrolls.wiki.comNow, by this point in the list, you should see that I take into account what an armor set provides in terms of actual armor as well as aesthetic. Ancient Shrouded Armor does little outside of giving a stealth character suitable buffs, but pairing that with a sleek red and black design land it here on the list. The Ancient Shrouded Armor set provides players with the sneak attack, boot muffling, poison defense, and bow attack bonuses when the full set is equipped. Earlier we talked about how the Archmage's robes are an immediate area of focus for mage-based characters. It's the same here in terms of characters looking to place emphasis on stealth and sneaking. This armor set can be acquired by completing the Dark Brotherhood quest called The Feeble Fortune.
Stealth Armor Iphone 4
Via gamepur.comThe Worn Shrouded Armor set is the worst armor in the entire world of Skyrim. It has an armor rating of 35 which doesn't seem too bad until you consider the fact that it can't be upgraded.
Now, you can alleviate some issues by simply enchanting each piece of the set, but why would you waste resources when you can upgrade a different set from a higher starting point? Luckily we've already talked about a really nifty set of Shrouded Armor — so if you really dig the red/black combo design then you're in luck. This armor set really doesn't benefit any type of player or character.
It's intended for use by stealth type characters, but the inability to upgrade coupled with a very low starting point means that this set should be disposed of or sold as soon as possible. Via gamepur.comOne of the greatest parts about Skyrim —and there are many— is that the (arguably) best set of armor in the game is also the most badass in terms of aesthetic. The Daedric Armor set not only imbues the wearer with a sense of confidence and intimidation, but it also provides a generously beefy amount of protection. The icing on the cake is that the set can be upgraded and enchantment to the owner's content. Daedric Armor tops the list for its usefulness, customizability, and sheer aesthetic excellence.
It's not often in games that the best-looking set of armor is also the best performing. Many times players are left wearing an embarrassing combination of items for ultimate effectiveness.
