    Well you've got me truly inspired to play Skyrim again for the first time in months, so good job on that 

    Just a couple of things: shouldn't it be Magicka not majika? and when you're talking about the Speech skill the final sentence just cuts off.

    I know I already liked this build Ning must have ate my like.

    Wow, so glad I inspired you.

    Thanks for picking up on the typos, I'll take them out.

    This is a very clever concept, very well written and presented beautifully and showcasing an old and forgotten piece of lore. I love that and how you have interpreted it in game to bring a three dimensional and believable character to life.

    Amazing build

    I wonder how it´s possible I´ve missed this build, damn it!  Very nice, Plunders. I love the jack-of-all-trade feel in this character and bringing up Sai - pretty much forgotten piece of Lore - to life is just brilliant. And brilliantly done too. And I dig the presentation, really nicely done, mate.

    Also, I have to ask. What difficulty you were playtesting this? This is just my personal preference, but even if it was on Master I feel like Enchanting, Smithing, Daedric Sword and Chaos Enchant is kind of overkill. I think that this build would work perfectly without the smithing. If you took it just for smithing Daedric Sword, I think that taking the route of Atronach would get you the sword maybe at the same level as with Smithing. But hey, just my preference.

    Thanks. :)

    You make some perceptive points. Difficulty - it's a build of two halves. I started out on Expert, where as a lightly armored character you are pretty fragile. Then once I got my sword of ultimate overkill I turned it up to Master and pretty much owned - I haven't tried legendary but I might load him up tonight and give it a go.

    I am sort of embarassed about using a Daedric sword of Paralyse and Chaos because I am the utter opposite of a powergamer.  But there were Reasons. We talked about ways to get a Daedric sword in the Workshop - someone posted that you need a high Conjuration to get one with the Atronach forge, and with only casting familiar, this build never really gets Conjuration that high. There's training I suppose. The other option would be to use the Dremora Merchant and that would save a bunch of perks.

    I see. Yeah, you need like 90 Conjuration for Sigil Stone, but with Bound Sword it´s quite easy. Though it´s grindy as tusk. You know that Giant camp just outside Whiterun? Jump on that stone pillar, giants won´t get to you and you can cast Bound Swords as long as you want. As I said, grindy as tusk

    Light Armor on Master is quite difficult to handle, but Quick Reflexes perk is really life saver. Heh, if you ever checked my builds, I think I use Quick Reflexes on every single on of them. I just can´t play Master/Legendary without it What can  I say, I love dancing around my enemies.

    I kinda regret I´m not checking Workshop more often, but have you considered Nettlebane as replacement for Daedric Sword? That weapon looks like it can bring ill-fortune to your enemies and can be obtained quite early in the game, without any grinding needed for it.

    I hope I don´t sound like I want you to re-work your build, lol. Been some time since I left constructive comment in CB. It´s just that two full perked crafting skills usually turn me away from builds like these, so if I ever got to play this (everything´s possible) I would definitely drop Smithing, which would save me...6 perks.

    Malacath´s armpit...someone make me stop!

    I must be asleep at the wheel to have missed this build. Very nice work here. Normally Im pretty wary of builds that go up to level 60 for whatever reason. But with the chancer I feel that jack-of-all-trades vibe you're trying to sell so it certainly works out in the end. 

    I like your presentation style as well. The use of cards etc really bring the whole theme of the build together. Definitely keep up the good work. You've definitely earned my like

    PS I'm so going to copy this presentation style. Its great.
