    Lissette this is beautiful, very well done indeed, now this is what I call comprehensive coverage, you have hit on everything, and perfectly assembled your character for the competition, I particularly like the gear chosen for your followers especially Vorstag, who is usually so wrapped up in Ebony armour, weapons, and shield, to see him in something different, a refreshing change, congratulations again on the build, have your speech prepared for the competition winners acceptance speech lol. + 1

    Damn Liss, way to set the bar high, the art here is just...hands down the best I've seen in this Contest by far (sorry guys, we got out asses beat by those icons). Everything about this build just screams awesome, from the backstory to the gameplay, roleplay, artwork, quests, everything is just great.

    I can't really say much more, but this is awesome Liss, great work

    Wow Lis!  Helluva build. From concept to presentation it seems not a beat had been dropped. I almost don't have much to say yet a build like this deserves words and lots of them. What does stand out, over and above that wonderful Hermaeus Mora image oozing from the page, is how you were not afraid of simply having fun with the lore and the Dwemer. You have created a thing which I am having difficulty articulating, but boils down to taking these dwarven themes, these airships and other curiosities and making them feel real rather than the novelty they tend to be. To me that is pretty damn special.

    Well, in the Unofficial Patches, they fix his stats so that his armor skill is reflective of what he's actually wearing, so he's governed by light armor in my playthrough. If I didn't have the patches, he'd be governed by heavy. Yeah, his butt also looked really cute in the DB armor.  And poison resistance, yeah that...

    I've got to say this right off... I LOVE the idea of you being sent back to prepare the way for your fellow Dwemer's arrival. I'll be honest, when people were shouting for a Dwemer build, I was kind of... meh. I don't hate the Dwemer, but they don't hold my imagination like they do for others. But THIS I can get behind. Again, BOSS concept.

    And as others have already mentioned, your presentation style is phenomenal. I could just look at the build without even reading a word and like it. But I DID read it, and I like it even more for doing so ;D

    Again, great job taking on this rather mysterious race, and even better job making me want to be one :D

    Thanks again. 

    @ProbsCooler - check marks are sooooo Dwemer. Glad you enjoyed the build. I had fun playing him. The spider scrolls were something that I had never really tried before and see oh so many possibilities for those puppies. 

    @Phil - I had a longer lore section, but never felt great about it and then a certain Lorc Orc-smacked me when I showed it to him and it was removed. I'm glad I took it off, it took from the intensity. It was cool, cause when I read up on them, there were Dwemer who did not agree with Lord Kragenac, saying something to the respect that the side effects would be too great. The whole concept for the build was based on that idea. 

    @Shin - for me, the essence of the artwork were shapes, playing with shapes. The Dwemer were a race attuned to mathematical concepts and shapes are a part of math. To be honest, I was a bit scared to tackle the Dwemer because everybody knows about them. There's no hiding.

    Honestly, making a unique concept for a Dwemer is such a pain in the ass without making it the same as any other Dwemer build on the site, you've really outdone yourself and blown what I just said out of the water! You have my utmost respects.
