    Oh man, this is hilarious. And an excellent character to boot: I loved every damn LETTER of this build. +1, with thanks for a hearty laugh and the excellent read.

    Thank you, Gyoko-hime!

    That's incredibly gratifying praise... it's always nice to know when folks enjoy the writing as well as the build itself.  You just made my day ;D

    Great, you just made me want to re-start my Altmord(half Altmer, half Nord obviously) character. Though since I'm using Perkus Maximus I may have to cheat just to make unarmed viable. It's a shame because I love unarmed builds. There's just a great feeling about pounding your enemy into Oblivion rather than the cliched slashing sword fighter, and those kill cams though.

    Thanks, Isaac! :D

    I know what you mean! I love unarmed combat, but don't have Dawnguard, so that means no Ring of the Beast (I used console codes to make my own version of it ;D). I'm also a bit wary of Resto-looping and gauntlet stacking, though I don't quite know why that is. I find it rather odd that Bethesda went through all the trouble of making some awesome kill-cams for Unarmed, and then proceeded to nerf it to such an extreme that almost nobody wants to use it... it's a shame.

    BTW--"Altmord" is a great term for an Altmer/Nord character ;D

    That was really pleasant to read. You are the only person who can be funny and entertaining while describing a videogame build its crazy! The build itself was really good. I have been looking for a good "unarmed" build and this definitly fits the bill.

    Thanks, Tristan! I can't tell you how much it makes my day when someone compliments the writing aspect of a build :D

    I had a LOT of fun playing this... I just really, really enjoy punching stuff, so unarmed builds are always a treat for me.

    If, for whatever reason, you find this build fitting the bill less and less, feel free to check out Paul England's unarmed Pit Fighter, or my other unarmed build, Rajhin: Thief God. I really enjoyed both of those as well, and they each bring a different feel to the unarmed game.

    One way or the other, thanks again, and have fun swinging! :D

    So, I'm discovering this build through the contest and I'm interested to try it myself, but I have one question: assuming I wanted my lady to pick a female partner instead, who would you recommend? Uthgerd springs to mind as another heavily-armoured lady who also likes to punch things, but seeing as you picked a spellsword over the plenty of other heavy-armour-hitty-things options that Skyrim had to offer, I'm feeling that was very intentional.
