    @ Duvain:  I would say go ahead and include Enchanting, it is intrinsic to the character.  My assumption is that his skills are chosen to make him a functional follower during his quests and not based on being true to his character in game. 

    In most cases the skills usually line up with the character but there are some where it gets a little fuzzy, in this case Neloth, others being Eola and Serana.  In these cases I would err on the side of being true to the character as they are presented in the game rather than a dogmatic adherance to the skills they were given.

    Yeah I also agree with what you said so I 'll go ahead and use enchanting. I think this will be an interesting playthrough I only hope to get it out in time.

    I would like to run Erik the Slayer without using any overhaul mods, but my idea is to play Erik's twin sister, Erza, using alternate start to pair her up with her brother. Would that be acceptable?

    I don't personally have a problem with it Dallan, but I'd wait for Vargr to check in. I mean technically speaking it doesn't fit the rules all that well so if we were going to be all hardcore about the rules then we'd have to say no but yeah generally speaking it seems like a cool idea and I'd be 100% fine with seeing it. And to be fair you might be able to twist it somehow, there can always be Daedra getting involved int hings like this if you spin it right.

    Anyway, so the end ruling from me is to wait and see what Vargr says but I like the idea.

    If we're recreating an NPC...does that mean the skyrim time-space continuum is altered forever if we have our character meet their NPC? 

    Back to the Future thoughts... :)

    Don't worry about it Motty, it's called a Dragon Break and we can always use it to justify just about anything we want :P

    Oh, I've already got a fix for when I bump into Faendal!

    I also thought something for when I have to do Dragonborn and meet Neloth. Since we know that Neloth is a fan of Azra Nightwielder I 'll use the excuse of shadow magic to explain my character's existence.

    Yeah I realized it's not the same as playing the exact character, but I felt odd playing someone that already exists in the world. It's not a big deal for Erik. but quest characterso like the aformentioned Neloth do make it awkward. I may just post it regardless as a build if it doesn't qualify.
