How would I go about making an Oberyn Martell in Skyrim? What race? What skills? What story lines? What weapons?

ooh, to bad we dont have spears.I'd say imperial, but you'd need some armor and weapon mods

Redguard, unfortunately there is no spear but since Oberyn used poison I'd say alchemy, light armor and possibly blades. Move quickly and be agile, speechcraft would work to since Oberyn has a silver tongue and a good personality.

The wiki's say that he is good with spear and sword, so for a usable weapon, a 1h sword and shield, with poison sounds right. For looks you can http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh611/Trace9569/20140604_154644.jpg the Relkings spear's, though they are unusable in the vanilla game.

With mod's you could have the spear's. And I would think an armor that is close to what he's supposed to have.

Unfortunately I am a Playstation peasant, so I can't use any mods. However, what I have so far is good.

Imperial
Speechcraft, one-handed, alchemy, light armour
Steel sword, find clothes, steel boots, gloves
Companions

I'm really unhappy with the clothing. Any ideas?

I believe solitude's guard armor is the closest. it has scaled and chainmail parts, and it's red.

Why would he join those morons?

I wanted to make the Red Viper as well but that isn't happening on the 360.

I have had a lot of fun with my "GOT" Nord guy though. He wears leather boots, hide bracers, and Dawnguard light (sleeves and no shoulder pads). No helm. One handed sword with no shield.

He became a hybrid between Bronn/Oberyn/Ned Stark.

That's quite a hybrid!

Who else would he join? The Dawngaurd maybe? DB?

No spears, no Arabian style clothing, no option to have the "Oberyn moustache", no storyline remotely matching Oberyn's style and no lightly scaled fancy armour. I'm finding it almost impossible. The only thing we have in alchemy.

A hybrid between Bronn, Oberyn and Ned is disgustingly OP. How has your 360 not violently exploded yet?

Hammerfell Garb?

Ehhh Oberyn wouldn't really wear something so rugged like a Hammerfell Garb. He's a prince, he'd wear fine decorative eastern robes. The only thing Imcan think of is the Fine Raiment, but that's been patched.

haha! My xbox is old and struggling but it hasn't exploded yet.

The dude is modeled after Bronn and has mostly done "honorable" quests like a Stark. He has to fight like Oberyn because he has no real defense other than high block skill with his sword. He has to dance around and chip away at most opponents. Whenever he fights a heavily armored bandit chief I mumble to myself... "You [censored] her! You murdered her! You killed her children!!!"

He seems brilliant. I might steal that build off of you actually.... *insert evil laugh here*

Lmao, classic idea with the mumbling! However, whenever you've 'killed' any heavily armoured warrior, just be sure not to walk too close to the body. I'm sure your character appreciates having his eyeballs and an unexploded skull lol. Also, you have to ask "who gave you the order?!?!?".

Please do! He was, and still is, a ton of fun to play. He also fits well in the world with his simple armor and iron sword. There were times when I was forced to level block using a shield and light armor using a helm.... but he usually runs around with neither. Smithing and enchanting were crucial because he was so heavily gimped. Block enchants were a must. I wanted higher speech but it's hard without the Black-Briar glitch.

Woooo!

He seems like a ton of fun to play! Can't wait.
