    you would need some mods, sorry :/ you can try the hood from the mage set of the dark brotherhood :)

    My only gripe is that I feel tacking one-handed on is an unnecessary cop-out. I think this build could definitely stand without it, and using it as a failsafe to fall back on actually takes away from the build overall. Pretty awesome otherwise though. It's like Demonhunter meets Arcane Archer meets Vampirism, and that's pretty fucking cool in my book.

    Thank you for your kind words. I am a huge fan of your demonhunter build and made such a character, and your build and the arcane archer inspired me for this build 

    I took a sword in the build mainly to go with the spells like life drain or ice spells. It can make you ranged and close very powerful. But of course the build is perfectly playable as a pure archer

    I really like this build, and have started a game (again ugh lol) to play it-curiousity overwhelms me, going to the cabin didn't net me anything that great-I wonder why it was included?

    I don't see the resemblance between Serana, and Selena, except for similar spelling, and both being Vampires.  I've never seent the former kill a werewolf, because the "Lycan" war isn't anywhere in Dawnguard. Also, Serana can fight, but she's not a "Death Dealer" at all.  Okay, I guess both of their "fathers" could be considered "Vampire Lords" as well.  However, again the only thing that either really has to do with the other is Vampirism, which is a pretty broad category.  So, unless you're actually writing an Underworld themed build, I'd eliminate the allusion, as it's a distraction.  

    Other than that, good build, I like it.

    I don't understand your comment, that's not the discussion if Serana and Selene are similar, personally I am reminded of Selene. I don't really see a distraction here...

    Anyways, thanks for your comment.

    It's for RP purposes. SPOILER: and in the cellar, there are some potions, ingredients,... -_-

    If you do play as a nord would you join the civil war for souls and necromantic practice?

    That third pic is amazing and would make for a much better main pic than the screenshot IMO. Really cool build but I can't help but feel like it would be better-focused with just Archery and no melee weapons. Especially with a mastery of Frost to slow enemies down and pets to tank for you, bows seem beyond viable throughout and a true Archer would have nothing but more arrows to fall back on.

    lol, you commented already a while ago, with the exact same idea :P I wanted to balance the strength a bit, because bows become so OP after some time, especially with enchantments and upgrades. Of coure you can play it without swords.
