If you had to give up one thing...

If you had to give up one thing in your planned build, what would you be willing to give up?

The rule book!

But seriously, id give up sneaking.

Are we allowed to replace it with another skill? If so, I would replace my two handed with one handed.

However if not I would take out my restoration for my tank build.

If everyone can sneak then it's not necessarily something you can give up :P

I am hopefully making a archer/rogue. I would most likely give up either my melee combat, or illusion magic.

i mean being good at sneaking.

I'd give up archery and I'd stick with melee and magic.

I would give up illusion. I don't think that's very helpful.

Id also give up mysticism...Oh wait!

if i cant summon familiars, then i'll drop conjuration.

i can live being just a sorcerer. as long as i can use a one hand sword as well.

Tough question! I want it all and then some lol

Possibly pets, I love pets, but if it turns out 99% of peeps have pets that's kinda lore breaking, so that...

a normal bow for a xbow.

Well, ahem, I am totally willing to give up pickpocketing.

Instanced dungeons / raids. Never gave a damn about virtual pixel grinding anyways.

I would give up gear grind and the endless inflation it causes.

@kynareth Illusion is extremely usefull! most people just don't know how to use it, also spells like paralyse used to be illusion spell as one of the more direct ones however...welll.... http://uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Incident_in_Necrom this should speak for itself, everyone underestimates illusions like thinking turtles are cute and accidentally trying to pet a turtle you thought was a herbivor but actually was a carnivor.

but as for the question, I would probably give up blocking in my planned build if any and all skills it'd be destruction since well...got a bow and you can prepare alot of arrows beforehand but you'll quickly run out of magicka throwing the fireballs...also for some reason I miss 9/10 fireballs shot but only 1/10 when with a bow....and yes even the aoe fireballs.
