Hmmmmm, anyone here soloed an Assassin?

I'm really wanting to go through the game as a chaotic/evil alignment, and basically... well... just be a complete b*stard to every NPC I run across. [img]smile.gif[/img] Not my normal personality, but I've played through as a Paladin, now I'd like to see the flip side/dialog for evil choices.

I'd definatly like to try it as a thief class, and very much like the idea of Assassin. The only catch, is it would be my first time soloing the game - and I was unsure as to the difficulty of trying to do it with an Assassin, coupled with the fact it would be my first attempt with -any- class.

Thoughts or suggestions?

But im still on my first run through in a normal game im still on disc 2 (d arness hold)

i think (IMO) the EASIEST class to solo would be a fighter/mage/thief [img]smile.gif[/img] that way you have all the skills you need. you can still tank and do melee dmg with spells added on to it, plus pickpocketing and backstab and traps [img]smile.gif[/img]

In response to Cecil's question, I am currently soloing an Assassin. It isn't easy, but not impossible either. I am currently on (in?) Brynnlaw about ready to go into Spellhold. If you are going to solo an assassin, I would get the cloak of Non-
Detection, the ring of invisibility, boots of speed (fixed version, or may screw up your backstab), Celestial Fury, and the ring of Gaxx ((POSSIBLE SPOILERS) . . . .easily gotten if you don't mind resorting to REALLY cheasy tacticts. i.e.: pickpocket ring of ram from Tolgarias in Government building, then use traps to kill all lich's to get body parts, go to Kangaxx's tomb and set about six traps where he first appears and about six more in the topmost corner. Trigger the tomb and Kangaxx's first form will die in the traps by the tomb, then use the ring of ram to push the second form into the traps set at the top of the room.)

The one nice thing about assassins is the poison ability. Used with the bow that gives you 3 attacks per round (forgot what its called) and most mages will fall easily.
Have fun.

I mostly solo my mage, and its fun and challenging. If you wanna seem like some travelling archmage (fantasize if you will)doing random acts of kindness(or evil I suppose), may seem cool. It's actually kinda hard especially in Athkatla because you constantly have Cowled Enforcers warping in and you have to cast spells to kill vampires on the streets! As I said, hard but fun. Still like the sensation of rocking groups of thugs with a fireball or two "Yo! You! Hand over all your cash NOW!" "Are you talking to me?" "This'll teach you to play smarty--" *spells galore* etc...
