    Ok i see your choices make much more sense now. by the way did you consider Lycanthrope for this build? Or would that be to out of your ideas for roleplay?

    Another thing, you could add Bonehawk Necklace to the necklace options

    There's no reason the Cannibal couldn't be a werewolf. However I prefer the build without it because the idea is this is a humanoid who eats other humanoids. If they turned into a beast I think the cannibalism could just be attributed to being a werewolf. Also there wouldn't be much use for Beast Form given the focus on weaponry (and in Beast Form your gear is unequipped so your armor enchantments would not be in effect).

    Oh wow that necklace is actually perfect for the builds looks and it can be enchanted too, thank you very much!

    So i started the build last night and i've run into a problem. Remember you said we can only eat meat for health? Well did you mean cooked or raw cause raw isn't working so well for me. I found myself having to break roleplay by using health potions. If you meant cooked, perhaps you could clarify that and maybe show some recipes. Also what are some other good followers for this build until we get with the DB initiates? Because if i have Cicero as a follower i'll probably snap the game in half.

    I'm so happy to hear you made a Cannibal! What race may I ask? Hmm I'm assuming you haven't managed to get an absorb health enchantment yet? Also at the beginning you don't have all the health regeneration so it will be a bit tough starting up. With meat, Ben C is correct raw meat fits the build a lot more although it does restore less health. However, I think it would be fine to eat any cooked meat you find or steal (from raiding villages for example), just not cook it yourself. I found spending time hunting animals to accumulate lots of meat useful. Seems fitting that most of your carry weight will be taken up by meat. Once you have high enough health that meat becomes useless you won't need to use it anymore because you will have your enchantments to absorb and regenerate health.

    As for the follower, you can get Eola at level 1 by travelling straight to Markarth and doing 'The Taste of Death' quest, which should be done first anyway really for the ring. Other than that Faendal is a good choice because you can train up your archery for free with him by taking the money back from his inventory.

    P.s. Perhaps I should make a 'Meat' section?

    I chose the Redguard he wears the Saviors Hide Ancient Nordic Gauntlets and bootst cause i like the look of that mix. I did decice against a helmet theres nothing i could think of that fit and i don't like the Falmer helmet personally. I did get Eola, I put her in some Forsworn armor minus the head dress with two Forsworn swords cause i noticed at one point she duel wielded her Forsworn sword and her steel sword so i just gave her another Forsworn sword. No i have not gotten the absorb health enchant yet, but i kinda wanna get enchanting up a bit first. May I ask what did you do to lvl it up? Also would it be appropriate to give Eola staves? Another thing I found another necklace thats fits the look it looks like the Gaulder Amuelet, its in Falkreath in "The Jarls Longhouse" in his bedroom in an adept locked case on the right of the bed I'm wearing it now it looks good except I don't think you can enchant it, but I don't remember.

    A meat section would be nice. Also you mentioned that we should live in the wild perhaps give us some ideal locactions that dont reset when cleared?
