    OK, I've more or less finished my Fallout build for the Comic Book event, I'm now going to fire up my shiny new copy of Skyrim SE (PS4 version).

    I'm looking a making a character that will be an obsessive collector, a purveyor of all things shiny. I'll be buying and eventually building houses that will be filled with collections of artifacts and unique items and all kinds of books and collectibles.

    I'm thinking that I'll need sneak, speech, illusion, enchanting. Combat wise maybe daggers? Dunno really. But I'm expecting to have minions do most of the heavy lifting for the fighting, as I'm going to be a somewhat haughty character who doesn't get his hands dirty unless it is necessary

    Any ideas for builds that will provide a good starting point for this kind of dude?

    Sounds like a combination between my Mesmer and Thief. :D

    Sounds a little like a build I have waiting for my own play test, which is based on a College of Whispers Mage. Only difference is alchemy rather than enchanting because I wanted to try my hand and planting poisons on enemies and using Spider Scrolls for traps, which I thought would be a very College of Whispers-y thing to do: https://skyrimcalculator.com/453300

    Hey y'all! Recently I've rediscovered my passion for Skyrim, and have been sinking a lot of time into it. I'm currently playing two evil playthroughs, which is quite a shift from my usual playstyle. I've encountered a problem tho, trying to go back to a good character is tough, and everything I'm trying feels bland and rather boring. Anyone can recommend me a build that has a good blend of roleplay elements and fun gameplay to get me to cosider joining the light side again? Or maybe, a build that's more on the antihero department, that might be a good option too now that i think about it. Thanks in advance!

    Anti-Hero? Light side build? Look no further than The Exorcist! :D You'll have a good alignment but also get your hands dirty by raising and purifying the corpses of the dead.

    Along those lines, I'd also suggest Noodles' Mesmer. Very roguish which means he could easily be played as an anti-hero. In fact, as soon as I'm done playing the Cabalist, I'll be taking the Mesmer for a spin myself :D

    Anyone know what happened to "The Nihlus" build. I thought I was really interesting but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Or does anyone know any build that we're similar to that one, I thought the whole absorbing massive amounts of magicka was a cool idea.

    I take it this is the one you're looking for?
