    Hello everyone, i'm really excited to show you my first build on the site, The Bone Crusher. Since this is my first build recomendations to make this better, would be helpful.

    The Bone Crusher

    Backstory: The Bone Crusher was a well known mercenary, opperating in Cyrodil. He had plenty of money, and had a decent life going for himself, doing jobs often. One day he was hired to do a job near the border of Cryodil and Skyrim, all he had to do was kill some bandits in that area, but as he was getting near the bandit camp, he was caught in the Imperial ambush on the Stormcloaks.

    Gender: Male

    Race: Nord (really he could be any race, but nord works best with roleplay)

    Stats0/2/1, you can stop putting points into stamina after you get about 200, and continue to put points into health.

    Weapons: Dragon Bone Warhammer, for getting some distance on your enemies, while also doing some good damage.

    Dragon Bone Mace, For closer ranged, fast combat, better for fighting faster enemies.

    Armor: Full Dragonplate, it looks good and goes with his name, and his strong, and fierce attitude.

    Major Skills: Two Handed, take Barbarian5/5, Skull Crusher3/3, Champion's Stance, Devastating Blow, Sweep, and Warmaster. One Handed, take Armsman5/5, Bone Breaker3/3, Fighting Stance, Savage Strike, and Paralysing Strike. Lastly, for major skills, heavy armor, take the whole tree.

    Minor Skills: Smithing, to improve your armor, and to make it, take the right path, to make heavy armor as you lead up to the Dragon Smithing perk. Enchantment, I did a little enchanting on my playthrough with this character, but didn't bother to get it very high. Alchemy, it's useful for this character, as it doesn't use magic, but i only made healing potions, and didn't use poisons.

    Shouts: Unrelenting Force, Frost Breath, Ice Form, Disarm, Call of Valor, Whirlwind Sprint, and if you really want to, Elemental Fury.

    Quests to Take: Main story is a must, side with the Stormcloaks, as he has a grudge with the Empire for almost killing him, Side with the Dawnguard, he isn't the biggest fan of becoming an undead, the Companions, he gets some quick cash from doing this, and you can even stay as a werewolf if you'd like, Do the Dragonborn Dlc aswell, as he doesn't like it that some idiot tried to send some other idiots to kill him, the Dark Brotherhood could be a viable option, since it doesn't require you to sneak, and you can do any other quests to get some money, like bounties, for an example.

    Gameplay: The Bone Crusher isn't a whimp, so you'll probably want to get up close and personal with your enemies, either by running up to them, or using whirlwind sprint, use a lot of power attacks, to deal a lot of damage. You can use other shouts to weigh battles in your favor, and i would recomend to using the infinite shout glitch, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

    Roleplay: The Bone Crusher is a big, tough mercenary, without a moral compass, he'll do any quest, if he'll gain from it, so he wouldn't mind killing someone, or beating up an old lady, if he got money out of it. He can be as much as a jerk as you want him to, but he's not particularly evil, he's more neutral than evil. Just have fun, with being a jerky mercenary.

    Sup! This looks like it has the basic parts needed for a build to be functional so it's all good in this regard. So I will give some feedback on what might improve this one. For builds the title is Character Build: -insert build name here-. That being said one thing that stands out to me that you could improve is the presentation. For example you can use bold on the name of each section like Gameplay, Roleplay etc and also add one or two more images.

    This here is one of my builds you can check it out to get an idea on how I go about formatting a build: Click Here

    Other than that the build in itself looks simple and functional.

    Thanks for the feedback, I do agree that the sections could stand out more, and I may and try to find a few more pictures, to add to it, once again, thanks!

    Incredibly sorry that I'm this late reading the build and dropping a comment Lucario, I tend to be a bit faster but my internet's basically died over Christmas.

    First off, welcome to the site and thanks for joining the group, always love to see new builders post content and get involved so hope you enjoy yourself (and feel free to ask questions for anything). So, honestly I do have to say that the builds a bit lacking in a few ways, it's a good start for a first-time builder but I think there are some ways you could improve it and any future builds you may post. Generally I think my main comment would be to either expand on the build a bit more, and work a bit on the presentation, just as an example of a few minor tweaks improving the build here's a quick edit that I've done.

    SOOOO, I've got more to the reply and all but I want to leave this here in case I don't end up finishing tonight (so I still get a comment out and all). I will say that I think the build is a good start, it all...works together and is a fine character, but it doesn't really do more then that. I would definitely recommend checking out a few builds (Duvain has a style and build length that I think is pretty great, always like recommending his stuff to newer builders since he's not one of us long-winded folk who write builds the size of novels :P) and sort of seeing the detail that goes into each one. Would normally recommend a few other links but I might do that later. 

    Anyway, welcome to the site mate, and again apologies for the long wait for a reply.
