Whose builds have you played?

  • September 10, 2015

    Many would agree that perhaps the only thing in this group more motivating than likes and praise, is knowing someone has played your build and really enjoyed it. Ultimately we build not for the praise and the attention but to share our gaming experience with others. 

    Take a moment to share with us whose builds you've played and what did you enjoy about them. If you're more of a builder than a player share with us whose work, if any, you've drawn inspiration from.

    The first build I played on finding this site was Paul England's The Swordthane. In fact, Paul is probably the person who has the most builds played by me as I have also done his Clever Man and Elf Hewer.

    I have played Albino's Larcenous Knight, Mason's The Fallen Hero and No Snakes' The Demonhunter which was my first ever Khajiit character.

    I'm pretty sure there are one or two more but they are like mist my mind cannot take hold of right now.

    Edit: I have also played the Skaal Crusader by Raidrair and C.N Dying.

    Edit 2: Also Albino's The Titan.

    Great idea. I'd be more than happy to chime in as a way to say thanks to all the builders for inspiration and different play throughs. I usually try to comment on the build itself to let the builder know I'm playing it. They always seem appreciative and I'd encourage others to do the same. 

    The Whale - Paul 
    The Quarra Scourge - Alastor 
    The Bloodclaw - Tae-Rai + Teccam + SkallyV 
    The War Priest - No Snakes Alive
    The Kingslayer - Mason 

    And currently, I'm testing out your Night Reaver, Curse. 

    I'm sure there's more, but that's what came to mind. Thanks to all and keep up the great work!

    I have played an altered version of Mason's Heretic, who somehow became a vampire. I've also took inspiration from PCOutcast's Raven Blade, and Dracula Untold, for my Fallen Lord.

    Builds I've played (even if only briefly):

    Ponty--The Skystrider

    Ponty--The Burglar

    Mason--The Kingslayer

    Raidriar Never Dies--Berne Clan

    Alastor--Transient Sorcerer

    Alastor--Quarra Scourge

    Albino--Nightingale Archer

    Builds that I've yet to play (but they're on my short list):

    Oneness--The Sorceress

    Tae-Rai--Hircine's Child

    I'm certain there are more, but I'm not at my level best in the morning xD

    I forgot to list The Juggernaut by Nikolaj Poulsen and The Sun Priest by Henson.

    I'm pretty sure there are others.

    I've actually played a lot of builds before even thinking about doing a build myself. The first build I ever played, and thus got me into the Vault was Ponty's Nightingale Swordsman. It's this build that got me back into skyrim, the other builds I've played are all three of his Arcane Builds, his ProdigyVeteranPaladin and Last Dragonborn ! All of them were amazing and I enjoyed them to the very end.

    Some of my other builds I've played that immediately pop to my mind are Mason's Fallen Hero and Kingslayer. Ow and of course, one of my favourite builds No snakes aLive's War Priest!

    Each one of them is great in it's own way and I enjoyed playing all of them a lot!

    I expect brewmaster to post a massive list of about 100 different builds.

    Oh man, I played a lot of builds taken or inspired by many builders in the blog.

    I can't make a full list of them by now, because they are probably 80\100 but I'll do it very soon.

    I played many of them mainly by Alastor(we share many interests), Mason, Teccam and you.
