I cannot remember which build I try about 4-5 months ago, I have all the skills for the build at level 100 and yet I do not have sufficient perk point to add it in accordance to his/her perk spreadsheet. Not without leveling other skill that are none related to his/her build.
If a perk cannot be add without leveling other skill according to the build spreadsheet, then what one must suppose to do then?
Sorry if my english is poor and cause some misunderstanding.
What I mean is that you do not have enough perk point for the build even thought you build according to it and have the skill at level 100.
Here is a example
A build that only focus on heavy armor & archery, no other skill are allowed.
Heavy Armor: Cost 12 perk point
Archery: Cost 16 perk point
Total perk: 28
Current Level: 28
Total Perk: 27
Heavy Armor Level: 100
Archery Level: 100
I hope you get what I mean here.
Kinda strange how the author of the build are able to get the sufficient perk point for their build without level up a non-related skill then.
There's no way to have sufficient perk point for their build without level up a non-related skill if they insist their build are not allowed to do so.
I once try a character build that told us you are not suppose to train this list of skill cause of bla bla bla and focus on just this that. When I try it out, I notice my skill at 100 and missing 1-2 perk point just to follow his/her build exactly 100%.
I send him/her a pm where the hell did he/she get the extra 1-2 perk point to follow his exact build, there was never once a reply about it. I am sure some of you know who I was referring to if you ever try his/her build.
I am sorry if this look like it was off-topic. I ain't actually trying to run away from the topic at all at first place. I am trying to figure out the possibility of using level restriction for character build to deter low quality build.
Yeah!! It might sound bad or dumb at first place, but I play & read enough bad content at bloodwork section to figure out low level character build isn't good enough to stay.
I rarely read other section thought since I prefer fresh idea, but most of it just enough to irritate me cause it doesn't seem to be thoroughly test and play.
It would drive you to bonker to if 3 out of 5 character build you try are crap due to insufficient test and play by the creator itself.
I understand and knew you guys are good particularly about this issues. It doesn't harm any of us to come out with new proposal for getting rid of poor build that are poorly tested once in awhile.
I am not trying to question your ability, I just proposing some approach to remove some of the build just like what the OP ask for.
No harm feeling about it.
Yeah but when I play I wanna feel like it's my own character based on what I like. Regardless if it's more creative or not, if it's more efficient or not. I come from MMO's where you are forced to play according to people's builds if you don't want to get your ass kicked around, Skyrim is a paradise of freedom compared to them. You can be free of all "efficiency" and all the need to get in line and play like others, isn't that a great thing about the game?
I know it's been a long time since this was mentioned, but, I would just like to say that yes, I agree that if a build is way amazing, it doesn't matter who made it, it's going to get noticed.
However, I do wonder what would happen in the scenario where two very similar builds (formatting, quality, even the way the character is used) were posted at relatively the same time, one of them by a well-known member, and one of them by a newbie. I can't help but wonder if the well-known member would win out in the likes.
Eh, just a thought I had. Doesn't really matter in the long run I guess, since this discussion happened ages ago.
It's a pretty different game these days...
The advantage would always go to the well known builder simply because they already have friends here on the site and if they historically make decent posts/builds then more people would take the time to read it...
New members who post a really good build just take a little longer to gain the same traction but always shot way ahead of the inhabitants of the bloodworks
The actual 'problem' used to be people who expected a positive result from posting something bland.
