A contraction of vampirism mid-playthough is always interesting. Do you take on the blood lust of a vampire or try to stay true to your pre-vampire morals and become a Blade kind of character?
 
With mods like Sacrosanct and Better Vampires, this h...

Hi Traumtaenzer,
 
Sorry for the late reply; I have had a small addition to the family who seems hellbent on me not getting involved in all things Skyrim related.
Personally, when building and playing, I found that the character is more interested...

I noticed that you have Climates of Tamriel. Have you tried Vivid Weathers? I keep going back and forth on those two. :D

 
Yes I have tried Vivid Weathers; I found that it just looked too 'cartoony'. Climates of Tamriel just seems more natural to me...  moreI noticed that you have Climates of Tamriel. Have you tried Vivid Weathers? I keep going back and forth on those two. :D

Frostfall/Camping
Updated Weapon Textures
Expanded Smithing
More Alchemy Ingredients
Climates of Tamriel
Belt Fastened Quivers and
Ordinator Perks are the core at the moment.
I know I said I didn't want to add too much to the game but I couldn't help myself downloading the Lord of the Rings weapon mod. Wielding Anduril was too much of a good opportunity to pass up.
Not sure if its on xbone but there was a mod on PC that added the fellowship of the ring sitting around a campfire halfway up the throat of the world, all available as followers. Highly recommended for lotr fans, if xbone even has it.
 
Yeah, I think I have seen that.
I'm also interested in the growing Fellowship followers mod. With expanded followers, I should be ...    less

I have. An excellent addition. It took me some time to realise what each perk does so I created a test chracter to see some of the options.
There is a lot of room for a number of different class types that the vanilla perks didn't always allow. Spellblade bonuses, unarmed and enhanters for example.
Some of the level 100 perks in the trees are mad! A definite upgrade on the original if you feel like the original didn't allow you a huge amount of freedom.
The only thing I have against it, is becuase of the massive amount of perks in each perk tree, you will really have to plan ahead and specialize or plan on levelling up a lot more that the usual 'level 50' kind of cap.
Hope that helps.  less

I'm replaying my Kyne's Storm build because I want to add some mod notes to it now that mods are more easily accessed and seemed to have used ones that - although keeping true to the feel of skyrim - really change the way it can be played. Frostfall, perk overhaul, larger magic lists, levelled enemies, respecced looting and hunting tweaks are some examples. The dynamism of the game never ceases to amaze me.  

I'm completely biased towards this game. So my advice would always be 'get it' which isn't that helpful. I've only been able to find about an hour to play it so far.

So my advice would always be 'get it' which isn't that helpful. I've only been able to find about an hour to play it so far. But the alternate start mod along with frostfall has blown me out of the water. Modding is completely new to me and I can't believe how seamless it is on Xbox one. Bloody good job to the modders and Bethesda for it being so. Im currently play testing a Altmer Stormcloak for the event build. Let's see if I can find more time to play today.  

Skyrim SE - Character Build Plans

After having 4 or 5 characters on the bounce with Skyrim LE, I now have a rather sobering decision to make. Where do I start now?

Where do I start now? I was in the middle of a build play test on LE but that seems like a waste - to start on an experiment if I want to full experience.

Alas, for this decision has consumed me. I'll work it out when the game arrives I'm sure.

Which leads me to the question - what build will be your first in Skyrim SE?  

You say that this build is not lore friendly. I would have to disagree. Yes, you use the loop but you do it because this character needs to. What you do after the exploit was superb and fire the game perfectly. I will definitely be druiding in the near fu...
