Don't know if you've heard of it, but the Skyrim Blog is probably my favorite place to browse for character inspiration. http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/group/character-building/forum/topics/the-character-build-archive You can check out all of their "Legendary" builds, which just means they...

Hello I am looking for some feedback on a potential build. I want to make some sort of "terrifying presence" build. It will basically be a Two Handed warrior, with the addition of Illusion spells, mostly for the fear effect. I know I'll have to be careful in dungeons because when you Fear...

This is a build to represent a character from a game I played a long time ago. Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. This is made with NO DLC, and Vanilla Skyrim in mind. Hadhod is a Dwarf possibly distantly related to the famous Gimli. Hadhod specializes in axes and hammers, has a high...

I believe you guys are looking for something like BIGwooly's hardcore rules? http://skyrimforum.com/threads/nord-refugee-character-diary-hrisskar-iii.3168/ II - GENERAL PLAY RESTRICTIONS - proceed through the game intro and then leave the cave with NOTHING - difficulty set to 'master' - HUD...

Hello Dragon Kin. I thought I would pop in and drop my inspiration, since I see no one else has posted it yet. http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/group/character-building/page/category-80 The "legendary" builds from the Skyrim Blog have some truly amazing character builds. I particularly like...

I got a great deal of enjoyment out of this build here Character Build: The Necro-Knight - The Skyrim Blog You can be highly effective using the Apprentice Calm spell in Illusion for only 3 perks. Whoever said you need a lot of perk investment to make it effective was wrong. Novice, Dual...

Favorite race and why? | Skyrim Forums Here is something I posted a while back, and I still stand by it mostly. For those too lazy to click through, it said Breton, Dark Elf, Nord for magic resistance, High Elf for run speed, Orc for 2x damage dealt and half received. The other 5 are...

Haha yeah, my bad. I think I was a bit biased towards Smithing. Everything Psiberzerker said about mobility is definitely true, and 350 armor rating is certainly enough. And Bound Sword's light weight makes you able to perform many power attacks compared to a Daedric Sword's heavy weight. I...

As a Breton, the easiest (no enchantments) way for you to get to the Magic Resist cap of 85% is to: be Breton 25%, Agent of Mara 15%, Lord Stone 25%, Alteration Magic Resist 2/3 (50 Alteration) 20%. That is probably the best reason to go into Alteration, for the MR perks, and then eventually...

Yeah, one time I found a Deathbell. I took it to the market and I sold it so hard. The dude gave me straight up 5 Septims for it, holla! But seriously, typically when my character gets around 20,000 gold I just stop collecting/selling things because I'm lazy.

I agree with almost everything you said, and you do have great advice there. I just want to point out a few things: You can create a literally pure Destruction build, as in do not level up any skill ever, except Destruction. Put all of your level-ups into Magicka, only wear robes, only use...

I played Character Build: The Alik'r - The Skyrim Blog and I straight up loved it. It was different and exciting to play an unarmored melee character. Building on what Psiberzerker said, I think spellsword type builds are more fun in general. I like the One Handed, Alteration/Restoration...

I have found Calm to be the most useful of the starter spells. You should take the Dual Casting perk, as that 2.2 times the effectiveness level, so from level 9 to level 19 (rounds down), add one perk from the center line (Hypnotic Gaze) to make Calm spells more effective, so from 9 to 17, then...

It will be easy to do this even on master difficulty. You can use Illusion to Invisibility and Muffle yourself, and/or Calm your enemies, then Sneak Backstab the enemy. You can improve your Iron dagger with Smithing for higher damage. You can take the 15x damage perk in Sneak, as well as wear...

I will try to be kind, constructive criticism. You spent a lot of time and effort on it, and it's a good guide. But the whole thing is overly wordy and confusing. The message may get lost in all the extra words you have there. Try adding more double spaces to help break up the text. I...

The Bound Bow does damage completely on the physical side, even though it is summoned and somewhat "magic" in nature. It does full damage to the automatons.

When I'm looking for inspiration, I tend to check out the Skyrim Blog character building page. Specifically the "best" or most popular/liked builds are on the Legendary page. Take a look: Legendary Builds - The Skyrim Blog I had a lot of fun with my own versions of "The Sorcerer", "The...

Welcome to the forums! I have played a character similar to what you are laying out in the Perk calculator. I will say Sneak 5/5 is absolutely silly, especially since you are taking Illusion. You don't need any more than 1/5. If you want to have 5/5, just get one piece of 20% enchanted...

I hate to disappoint, guys. Horace went inside Azura's Star and died a horrible death. Usually when he dies I wake him up at an inn, but being inside the star and all... It seems as though his soul has been used to feed Malyn Varen instead. I have been having a lot of fun with this...
