Can I disguise myself with the armor of a guard I just killed, or do they always know who I am? Could I pass as a hold guard and get away with anything I want?

Well, you can, but you probably won't be fooling anybody but yourself. – oscilatingcretin Sep 5 '12 at 3:21
I imagine you would have to equip everything from a helmet to gauntlets to weapons (correct shield belonging to that clan), so it'd be a huge pain. It would be cool to have a quest where this is your goal. – user33147 Sep 17 '12 at 16:52

No, Skyrim isn't that advanced. I can't think of any game that is. They will still know it's you.

Fallout:New Vegas allows for this (you can wear faction armor disguises, for example), and Oblivion has the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal although you are correct that there is no such mechanic in Skyrim. – agent86♦ Sep 4 '12 at 19:56
Oh, that's cool! I haven't played NV yet. I thought about the Cowl, but it's not quite the same thing. – SaintWacko Sep 4 '12 at 19:57

Hitman's all ABOUT disguises. Just don't get too close. – fbueckert Sep 4 '12 at 19:58
Alright, well I couldn't think of any game I've played that does that :P – SaintWacko Sep 4 '12 at 20:01

Skyrim Redone has disguises. – kotekzot Sep 4 '12 at 20:17
