Greetings and Well Met Travelers!

I have not played ESO in quite a long time (Last Year sometime was my last log in) and plan to return to give the game another go. I am not sure exactly what caused me to depart ways, but was probably lack of effort on my part because I did dive into the game just merely dabbled.

I plan to dive in and take full of the Justice system to become the Master Thief I always wanted to be and need help setting up a character. My question to you wonderful people is what Race/Class/Faction should I make to become a Mage Thief? Any insight on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't even know where to begin at this point! lol

    I downloaded and patched the game this morning, but haven't logged in yet. I know my main focus will be Thieving I just don't know what class/playstyle I want to take.

    Looking over the Classes and what not I am thinking I am going to use a Bow as a Sorcerer. The Sorcerer toolkit seems to be what I want with the boosts to Armor, Damage, Stamina, Heals with a crit. Now I just have to choose a Race...

    I believe I am actually going to go Ebonheart Pact, because my love of Skyrim. Hope to find a Thief's Guild based RP Guild or I will just have to start my own :). I just need to choose a Race and leaning towards Imperial personally.

    Currently the justice system is fairly superficial...Any class/race/faction combo can make equal use of it, because you really only need enough stamina to remain in stealth long enough to swipe an item without an NPC noticing.

    This may change when/if the second phase of the justice system is implemented (i.e. the part where other players will be able to become bounty hunters and seek out those with a price on their head), but no date for this has been set. Things may also change when the thieves guild is implemented next year (as one of the dlc updates), but we have no information as of now what this will look like.

    I wouldn't return to this game for the justice system in its current form. If that is your only/primary reason for returning, I think you will be quickly bored/disappointed.

    I had fun with it before I left and I realize it's only in the 1st stage, but I also love to Roleplay and the PvE/PvP content is pretty good too.
