    Awesome build! I see you are a fan of the mod Immersive Armors. I started a character with this build a week ago and after some difficulties to overcome the face-tanking with light armor, I am having a lot of fun. 

    The only thing I don't really like about this build are the frost runes. I completely ditched magic with my character, also no enchanting. I only use magic weapons and armor when I find them. For so far I know, some Vikings had specific axes that could be thrown to kill approaching and fleeing enemies. With that in mind I installed a mod called "Throwable Weapons" and now my Viking throws a poisoned axe at approaching enemies and in the back of fleeing enemies. Even dragons hovering above my head are not safe for my axe.

    dude, just one thing, your comment about the dark brotherhood was way off, to Vikings Honor was every thing. a dishonorable warrior would not get into Valhalla. The difference being there since of honor was a great deal different of ours, in a since that killing someone, as long as they were fighting back, was not dishonorable. however, to a Viking, to kill someone who isn't fighting back, unless in war, was dishonorable. Sorry if I seem rude, I just take a little pride in my ancestry.

    Which is why you initiate the speech option that makes them fight back!

    All images have been restored for this build. While I try my best to keep the formatting as close to the original as possible, there are some unavoidable differences as a result of differing platforms... for this I apologize.

    Also, please feel free to remove the 'Restored' banner at the end of the build--I put it there as a courtesy to let the reader know that the build has been worked on by somebody other than its original creator without his or her knowlege.
