Where do you tend to find inspiration for you builds? Do you search for sources of inspiration or does inspiration just strike with an idea that'd perfect for a build? Or is it both?
I only have one build out there but many more in the works and for me, I find that simply looking at fantasy character art on Google images strikes a chord in me and I'm inspired to make builds around the badass looking characters I see. Or sometimes I find the name of a build first that just sounds so cool I know I'd regret not using it.
So what inspires you as a character builder?
I'm not pro about or too fan of build, I usually play to write about, but I need to create characters form my story and those needs to have certain skills and ways of be, for example The main character is like a Death Knight from Warcraft universe, also Lothar a Nord Paladin who will make the life harder Baal the Necromancer DeathKnight
But about inspiration I usually see pictures, read books and read about elder scrolls lore, movies, series, talk with others about Elder Scrolls, even I get inspiration from music , oh yes
Anywhere really. I just posted 2 snapshots that were inspired by the Marvel comics universe and the similarities I saw to what was in Skyrim. I actually can't think of too many more from that angle though. If there were 1-handed hammers then the winged steelplate helmet would obviously lead to a Thor inspired build, and I could see Shrouded armor and Blades swords with the right face makeup making a Deadpool build ( I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that existed already )
Also just little tweaks in costume choice, and play style to any of the great builds already here. I've found two "Reaper/Death" builds I like, but I have an idea for a 3rd I think would be really fun. I probably won't snapshot it just because the aesthetics are already done and I would want to test the playstyle to see if it works as well as I might like.
