Ben has been a bit under the weather this week, but has still emerged from sickness to send me his selection for this weeks Showcase. And he's gone with one of the most respected and revered builds on the site, in the form of The Revenant by Mason.
And we also have a mean and moody video from TZ to go with it - make sure to watch this video, it really captures the mood!
Here's what Ben has to say
This week I decided to showcase what is one of the truly great builds on the blog, Mason's Revenant. The buildmaster created a quality build that is built around mastering some very unique items in the game. The combination of the Ring of Namira, Ancient Nord Armor and Ancient Nord weaponry ensures this Orc is one nasty mother ______. Even his shield, 'The Targe of the Blooded' makes enemies bleed and is this characters version of "a meat tenderiser".
Mason uses both one handed and two handed weapons. This is to take full advantage of the unique Ancient Nord weapons in the game like The Pale Blade and Red Eagles Bane. The newest DLC Dragonborn also gives him an Ancient Nord Pickaxe, Hoarfrost, to wield!
For me the highlight of the build is Duskbreaker. This is Mason's twisted take on the sword Dawnbreaker. Self-made Duskbreaker absorbs health, sets the enemy on fire and steals his soul. That is one nasty weapon, fitting for this nasty Orc. Anyone who wants a highly immersive, smooth playthrough without any menu surfing should give this guy a try.
Big thanks as ever to Ben and TZ for their collaboration in this Showcase
