Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I have made an account on here for this specific help.

In April, I plan on getting myself a new rig to run Skyrim. I currently enjoy playing it on my Xbox 360. I am planning on recording my adventures using this character that you will hopefully help me build. In the meantime, I plan on creating him on my Xbox to test him out. Anyways before we get to the build, I have to tell you the requirements and a back story that will control the skills I use.

My character is a Breton Male(unnamed as of yet). He is going to be a death-knight(a character who fights as a warrior but also uses magic to raise dead and summon daedra). As to be expected, he will be evil. I have an endgame plan of having daedric equipment and being able to conjure dremora and raise dead thralls. My character will start as a simple necromancer who also is a skilled swordsman. He is manipulative and uses illusion to bend the minds of his enemies. I plan on using the atronach forge to create the daedric armor and not use smithing. I plan on having him run around in robes until combat where he "summons" armor(most likely by using stoneflesh since there is no bound armor in this game.)

Here is where I am having a tough choice in deciding what to do.

I don't really know whether he should start out using heavy armor or even armor at all when he is in his necromancer stage.

I also don't know if I should use destruction, on my last playthrough I attempted to make the same character, but I used destruction and I ended up not being able to do sufficient damage with swords.

And when it comes to weaponry, I am not sure if I should use two handed, one handed and sheild, one handed dual weild, or just one hand. I know I want to be able to block at least a little.

Alchemy was another thing I experimented with my last playthrough and I didn't really like it too much.

I don't really want to use restoration though, goes against the whole "dead" vibe i'm going for.

And what about bound weapons and bows?

And finally, enchanting.

So here is what is up on the table as of confirmed skills I am definitely using:

-conjuration
-heavy armor(at some point)
-illusion
-alteration
-speech(manipulative)

Everything else is for you guys to help decide.

If you have anything to say that you think will help, say it. I need all the help I can.

I'll help you when you edit out the World of Warcraft terms.
