    Another option if you use dawnguard is using an armored troll as a pet instead of a dog. A troll just seems so much more primal then an Irish wolfhound IMO. However you may not want this character to join the dawnguard, though hunting vamps seems appropriate for him.

    Ah, thought of this pre-dg, but that's totally an option. I'm not sure about the structure of a brotherhood, but a beastmaster would be entirely on board for hunting down vampires -- unnatural and a mighty prey.

    What are your opinion on becoming a werewolf with this build? Do you think it fits, becoming an animal himself, or does he see them as unnatural?

    I think that becoming a werewolf could play a very important of this build for some. I would not say it is necessary, but I could see both sides being rationalized. Though, I would recommend doing the companion's line, so getting it is unavoidable, keeping it, on the other hand, is up to you.

    I was just thinking to myself that this type of "hunter" build would be awesome. Figured I'd check and see if someone beat me to the punch. Bravo. One thing you didn't touch on was having a pet along side you. You could have the armored trolls or dogs from Dawnguard fight beside you, get a dog from Markarth, or have barbas as your pet. Otherwise, great build.

    I do mention the dogs briefly! "With an Archer Companion, Dog, Horse, and Two Wolves..."
    But I did make it pre-dawnguard and forgot to update about the trolls, you're quite right. In fact you may be able to have barbas and  a dog as followers, but I'll have to double check that.
