    Putting this together with poetic verses its excellent presentation I can't believe you being a new builder! Some of these techniques this build mentions I use too. The story, presentation and poetry you put here is magnificent in the highest degree. Very well done.

    Wow. This was an amazing build (honestly one of the best I've seen on the site). I really love subversion builds (ones that break stereotypes) and this Thief/Warrior build seems right up my alley. It's a very neat twist on the Death/Dark Knight class.

    The poetic background was very nicely done, the entire build had a nice, flowing progression from start to finish, and the pictures were all perfect for the build. I like how the build doesn't start off super OP, but has the ability to be a very powerful force mid to endgame. I especially loved the alchemy and special moves sections (those are pretty difficult to pull off, but you've made it look really effortless).

    Literally the only mistakes I could find are two minor spelling ones (I believe it's Khajiit, not Kahjiit and I think you were going for the word "prerequisite" and not "perquisite"), but the build is practically flawless in every other way. 

    Two questions though: does the Knight's distrust/hatred of weapons also affect his feelings on shields? And what do you think would be this Knight's view on followers?

    Easy +1 from me, and I'm sure it'll be getting quite a few more likes by others as well. I look forward to see what you will come up with next.

    I really like unorthodox Orcs. Great build, mate.

    I´m not sure if it´s only me who sees that, but one of your special moves is somewhat messed up.

    My only complaint is that there are that many Special Moves. I mean, if I was playing this, I would have to always check some list what I should use. But that might be only my problem with my poor memory.

    Odd. It isn't messed up on my screen. Maybe it is your browser? I'm on Chrome

    It actually shows to me in Firefox, Explorer and Chrome, otherwise I wouldn´t said anything. Weird. 

    From now on, I stop saying that to people, because for some reason, I´m the only one who has it messed up. I´ll play along then.

    It took me quite a bit of time and a ton of rhyme-hunting to complete the poem, I'm glad that it made the build better. Thanks for the support! :D

    As for the first 3 skills, each is a powerful way to handle the respective weapon types. As for some other special moves, like Keen Observance and Dark Deal, I feel that they are relatively intuitive in nature and that they would not necessarily require cross-referencing to pull off. Momentary Clarity is a very popular combo which most Skyrim players would have come to know by now, and the reason I put it there is because I felt that it deserved special mention for being very synergistic with the Knight's combat methods.

    I really do not feel that there are too many, but tbh, if anyeone can't remember the moves, I'd implore them to discover and execute their own special moves rather than try to carbon-copy those outlined in the build. I feel that it would let them understand the circumstances, pros and cons of each special move and therefore add their own touch to their characters.

    I'm really not sure on how to fix the strange formatting error, primarily because I can't really check to see if it works. Really appreciate the support!

    Great build! I love characters who utilize multiple weapon types, purely because there's so much variety, and this one has been executed very well! I like the verses throughout, breaking up the text alongside the pictures. Well done!
