    Thanks @Tenebrous I think I'll do that. Morrowind is coming to the Xbox store, so perhaps that may pique some interest in my idea.

    Honestly Dean, I'd love to have those dropped in the Vault, either as individual builds or chains of related builds (dropping 3 at a time for 7 discussions total). I haven't finished reading through it, but if all of them are similar in scale to the first one I think they'd be absolutely fine. You might need to add a tiny section (no more than around 100-200 words) for Gameplay, but yeah honestly I think they'd be really good to see.

    Cool, once I get them fleshed out I can post. I can easily make it a series and post as I go along. I just want to make sure everything is formatted perfectly too. I might give one a shot tomorrow or this weekend.

    Can't wait :D Let me know if you need any help with formatting Dean (though I think you've got it, a very nice presentation on the GDoc).

    Has anyone given thought towards recreating classes from Morrowind? I am currently building a character based on the Crusader class: One-handed, Destruction, Alchemy, Heavy Armor, Alteration, Smithing, and Enchanting. I added Enchanting and Alteration for the extra buffs to magic resistance and elemental damage. I opted for Alchemy instead of Restoration, as I find that potions are more practical. This guy is a tank! I use runes to damage enemies as they close in and hack away once they get close. Mages fall prey to shock spells and I absorb their attacks with shield spells.

    I know that a fair few people have used the classes, in general, to base their ideas off of, but...really every interpretation is different and very literal translations are rather rare. So yeah, I think it'd be really good to see, and I don't think it's anywhere near common enough to not run it, especially nowadays when it's a bit less common for people to use them for inspiration.

    So I just made a very muscular and mean-looking dunmer and he's fresh out of Helgen. I have no idea what to do with him. Currently, based on his more than grumpy expression, I'm thinking something warrior-based would fit him perfectly. Heavy Armor is prefered but I want to shy away from Two-Handed this time around. I don't want to use magic either. This guy is that one dunmer who just rolls his eyes at fireballs before bisecting the mage he's fighting. So I want something brutish. Good or evil is fine and I'm definitely okay with having to use smithing. Sneak is welcomed as well. He maybe a warrior, but he understands how useful stealth can be when getting the drop on someone.

    @Dragonborn1921 I agree. Part of the challenge in doing something like this is using the class distinctions as the starting point. The other is coming up with a compelling narrative.

    I always struggle with the latter for Class builds, to be honest. I have no idea why because I usually don't have an issue with the narrative sides of build (even if I'm a Gameplay Expert at heart), but yeah it's just tough at times.
