Suggestions for character builds.

Post » Sat Jan 10, 2015 3:32 pm

I am looking for absolutely anything. I want you guys to go absolutely nuts with your suggestions all the way from a modest beggar to the most powerful being to ever walk tamriel. Post your favorite that you use or some that you've always wanted to try. Discuss it with eachother and I'll take your responses into consideration and try them out myself. Have fun you guys! And remember, the sky is the limit!

I always wanted to play a character with a high bounty in every city; maybe even forge a full set of daedic armour to get in trouble with the Vigilants of Stendarr as well.

Very interesting! Never thought if that to be honest.

A build I would recommend would be Spell-sword. Its definitely not uncommon to have a travelling Spell-sword roaming the lands of Tamriel in search of work or Septim. The class caters to those who fancy a bit of the arcane arts as well as using blades as a means of destruction. According to UESP Wiki, Spell-swords are more nimble and athletic than a sorcerer, and better suited for spell casting than a knight, their attacks are unpredictable. They are students of combat and magic. The classes they are proficient in are:

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Restoration

Obviosly for skyrim, a couple of those wont work for they no longer exist but, being a middleclass spell-sword seeking adventure in Skyrim's time of ruin would fit.

A Breton, who is friendlier with the nords but still related to the elves and shares their magical affinity, would be a perfect character for this build. Bretons are known for traveling seeking fortune in their home land of high rock.

Something I'm playing right now that's fun is a blacksmith/shield master. Taking all the perks in block and smithing. And three perks in restoration to use the novice heal spell to restore stamina. Also some perks in two-handed. Atronach stone for extra magic defense.

The way I play this guy is I chose a follower whose AI has a focus on keeping distance and using bows, like Jenassa or Faendal. The goal is to charge forward and play defense/ knock the enemy down while my follower picks them off with the bow. The character has three fighting styles- LH shield RH Mace, LH shield RH novice healing spell, and last style is war hammer. This means you can use all your smithing perks and improve anything you find in the game to the height of its power. Make light armor and bows for your follower, and for you make heavy armor, shields, one-handed and two-handed weapons.

It's my way of making a character that can actually use all the smithing perks and between him and his follower, there is a use for every weapon that can be found.

That sounds very fun actually. I think I'll try that for my next character.

Right now I'm playing a Fire Destruction/Illusion mage (working towards aspect of terror to boost fire damage) and just a little Restoration to heal. Using only heavy armor helm, gauntlets, and boots with robes/clothing. And enchanting.

Thought about trying a sword & ward Restoration holy warrior to rid Skyrim of undead. Would probably use only steel plate once able to get it. But I have enough characters already.

A build I've always wanted to try, but am too lazy to do so.
