  I would be unable to kill Bran. I love this build because of the almost...human aspect of it. I have a soft spot for dogs and I almost never kill them. Especially not Bran. +1

  It's really nice and deserves a +1...

  If you're wondering why it hasn't done as well in the ranks it's because the build has been personified and named (Rasha), the role-play and character has already been created (beautifully) by anothers mind but it's so concrete that it ultimately leaves less for the reader to imagine themselves if attempting to re-make the build...

  It's really nice, but because the build is wrote in a journalistic fashion it also has a tone of finality to it (reminds me very much of Vix actually). To get people to actually play, it would need to be left far more open ended so that people are inspired to fill in all the blanks themselves during their own RP experience.

  Funny you brought up Vix, his Faedric is Legendary and it has quite simple gameplay compared to this. This one has changing playstyle which is described in each section of the build. I think the reason is that it's presented in a picture. People tend to not like such builds, not sure why.

  I don't think it's the presentation, I've added music (that everyone hates) to my builds and it never harmed me...

  It's about those moments when you're stood in Helgen making your character. This build is so character heavy that if you selected a name that wasn't Rasha you wouldn't feel like you were actually playing Asgards build...

  It's difficult for me to explain.

  You finish reading this build and you feel like giving a round of applause for how nicely its wrote. I feel that way when I've just watched a really good film at the cinema but I don't go back outside to buy a ticket and watch it again...

  I understand what you're saying, but I personally think this deserves way more likes, if only for the ingenious Adept+ difficulty which allows some pretty fun playstyles. Having a husky follower and not worrying that it will die in any encounter is awesome. Add to it the crossbow stagger and Healing Hands and you have an awesome character. I can't see a person not liking it after reading - it's just amazing from both the writing and gameplay PoV.

  Well, first off: I really like the presentation. I have some issues with the prose of the backstory but that's just because I've been writing fiction half my life and can never be satisfied when it comes to narritives.
  
  I also like the idea of a 'ready build' character that's presented here, with a personality and all. So +1 for the 'package' offered in this build.
  
  Unfortunately, that's exactly why I wouldn't play this character. I feel like Rasha's story has already been told. I can't add much to it and, frankly, I feel it'd be an insult to the 'original' if I tried to emulate it.
