    Thanks Paws. So far I've learned two things...one, don't run out of spells in Mzulft without a frost and fire staff or shout (have no earthly idea how I managed to finish that quest with just my Frost Breath and Fire Breath shouts!), and two, the Mage Staff of Dovahkiin is waaaay too powerful to craft as early as I did (level 5 or so). I have killed dragons in 4 shots with it, no joke. I highly recommend waiting until at least level 20 before doing so, it will make things much more challenging and fun.

    Also, another good screenshot for you guys before I go to sleep this evening...

     

    Later all!

    The value of playtesting, eh? Useful stuff to know for the Quests section of your build, and an anecdote to share if stuck for words. Serana is great company, and still has great taste in boots, although I wonder if she felt a bit scared in Meridia's temple. Also, I'm not familiar with that staff but sounds pretty cool. Is it a must have mod for the build?

    No, not a necessary mod, but gives you more crafting options for staves and I felt the base game doesn't have enough of that. It's one that shoots a 100pt damage thunderbolt. Didn't realize the enormous advantage that was so early on. Many of my previous playthroughs I grind leveling first before venturing out into the world and so my opponents are much more resilient to things like this. However, if I can catch a screenshot of me blasting someone/thing a couple hundred feet acroos the room/battlefield, it'll all be worth it. :) And I won't ruin the suspense with previewing that one, it'll only appear in the finished product.

    Sorry to say to all, currently having to put this build on hold, higher priority life things and such, but will be back soon to finish
