    This is sweet, DB! Since I've started running Ordinator, I've been playing around with builds that perk only one or two skills, so seeing you take this concept on is a welcome sight... and Alchemy was a fantastic skill to start with :D

    It does seem like Ordinator gets people into the mood for trying out builds with fewer skills (I guess when you'e got so many perks to choose from it makes it feel easlaier). Anyway, glad you liked it ShinJin and thanks for dropping by with a great comment

    Bumping this since I buried it under old builds.

    Yeah, I would like to try this with Ordinator.  Maybe after Cicero is done.  I am addicted to Live Another Life, however, so I think I would start out with the house in Morthal.  I know it's kind of cheating but I'm cheesy and I love overkill. :p

    After finally playing Ordinator I can really see why people like the idea of this series with the mod (though I haven't looked through the Alchemy Tree), the only thing holding me back is the fact that it'd be a hefty build, requiring you to Legendary a skill at least once (I would definitely take the 50% more perks add-on that goes with Ordinator...or is often used with it, or whatever). 

    Glad you liked the idea of the build Jynna, and I'd be kind of thrilled if you tried it out (no such thing as cheating in my books, this character makes perfect sense in Morthal and if I ran it with LAL I probably would've done the same).

    Cool build, mate! I've been interested in one and two skill builds for quite some time! I did a pure Alchemy build for myself once, but it was so pure that no other skill was allowed to be used enough to earn an increase...talk about a challenge build! No mods, either! Fun stuff, lol.

    I've been thinking about an Alteration build, too. I'm not going to post anything here...however, if you want some ideas, I'd be happy to chat! I'm really interested to see your pure Alteration build.

    About opening a shop in Riverwood without using mods... if an "accident" happens to Lucan Valerius his sister Camilla Valerius will take over the Riverwood Trader, if you recover the Golden Claw you can marry her wich means that you now own the Riverwood Trader.

    It's not 100% roleplay friendly but it's as close as possible (if you want the shop all for yourself i guess that another "accident" has to happen to Camilla as well). However there are no alchemy labs in the shop (the closest one it's in the inn).

    With that said keep up the good work, i'm curious to see how the other single skill builds are going to turn out.

    Right, I'm just combining my message to you Kappa with my one to Misha since I missed that one.

    Yo, Misha, if you pop back in, first of all how've you been lately? Haven't seen you around in a fair while and it's good to know your still popping up sometimes. Thanks for the comments, and while I'd love to exchange some notes I've put of all of the magic builds at the moment because I've been trying to figure out whether or not I want to run them with Apocolypse (or another magic mod) and how that would work. That and I've just been really busy on the Vault lately and just haven't been in a content production mood. 

    Kappa thanks for commenting as well (part of what I said to Misha is the same, been holding off on the other builds for awhile now). I do like that idea, I'd like to say it fits the character but I do agree that it isn't entirely fitting. Hmm, let me think, yeah in the end while I like the idea I don't see the accident happening or marriage being on the table (which doesn't even cover the fact that I have to murder Sven/Faendal as well) so yeah. But damn it is a good idea for a character, maybe the Speech Character could do that if I get around to it.

    I mean, you COULD use a player home as your shop, replace all the clutter withh potions and ingredients
