  To whom it may concern, I have updated the perk-spread and target list (I just spent hours of my life on the uesp wiki).

  Excellent storyline, it provides a whole new point of view on playing. Especially about the dawnguards previous history. I never knew. What is your source for finding this out?

  Very nice first build. Sounds fun to play but DON'T get hit.

  "Even more rumors say that the Dawnguard were disliked because of their abuse of power as they went on nightly raids and pillaged small villages without any probable cause." - Skyrim wiki. One of the npcs, I believe it was Sorine, mentioned this. The part about Molag Bal influencing them is mostly my bit, but from what I understand, one of the possible histories is that the Dawngaurd became vampires themselves, so it's not out of place. Ask the Dawngaurd members about the old Dawngaurd and you'll get some interesting and mysterious lore about them. This is actually my second build. The Ranger of the Reach was my first.

  Yeah, it gets better at high levels. Ancient Dragons will ruin your life.

  Two issues pop out at me right away with this build.

  First one is the lack of pictures and paragraphs to break up text. This is especially problematic in the intro story. Here you have a cool backstory for your character, but its all one large block of text. A paragraph separation every 3-5 sentences would make the story easier to digest. Again, the build needs an additional picture or two to break up all the text in the body. 

  The next big issue is the perkspread. You have all of these non essential perks listed and it makes understanding your perkspread needlessly difficult. Why not just stick to the essential perks you picked, and leave it at that? If someone wants to pick up and play this build they'll change it up as they please, but you dont need to list every possible option.

  Makes sense, I'll go ahead fix those paragraphs and the perkspread! Yeah, I'll see if I can find some more pictures.  I'm pretty selective when it comes to the pictures I add.

  Let me know if you think the new pictures are placed well/fit the build and if I still need more.

  I'll be sure to check this out on the Wiki. I'm now more curious than ever to do the Dawnguard questline. You've made it more appealing than ever before now you mentioned that. The mystery of history. Thank you. Ranger of the Reach? I'll take a look at that one too.

  I like to see verbatim, all the perks that every builder as chosen for their character. Both essential and non essential. This makes it better to understand and justify the reason on why they took it. At least in my opinion. Good luck on your editions.

  Alright, you get  + 1 for effort.

  The build is looking much better presentation wise. I suggest adding maybe one more picture between the end of the roleplay section and the beginning of the targets section to break up that large segment of text.
