    That is a fair point xD

    I think I may actually play this (and do a little tweaking while I experiment with the crown... I'm thinking ritual in the crown, plus atronach and lord together, if I can force it to work out again. If not, it'll be atronach, ritual, and likely thief stone..

    Other than that the only thing I'm lively to change is the weapons a little. Always feel the need to custom the equipment in all the builds I play haha

    Any particular difficulty you play tested on? I'm thinking this would be suitable for at least master.

    Awesome! I always encourage people to customize builds they play to their own liking rather than strictly adhering to things they don't like as much... it just makes good sense ;D

    I, personally, play on Adept because I just don't have the free time to extend my battles... I'd never be able to finish a playthrough. With Barbas as an aggressive and invincible follower, however, I would definitely say this is suitable for a playthrough on master.

    Its only sensible! The best build can feel dull if it doesn't match your favored play style very well :p I think I'll start it up later, though I'm considering an imperial for my own roleplay reasons... After all, imperials died there too :p

    We initially talked about Imperial... their racial power would be absolutely devastating with the Unleash move. If I were to play this again, I would try it either as an Imperial or an Orc :D

    The orc special would be insane! The amount of damage they could dish out would just be ridiculous lol

    Falkreath is one of the most under rated holds in the game it was very interesting to hear a good deal of its background history ( assuming the sources are reliable, of course ) with so many antagonizing forces run a muck, its definitely the most dangerous areas or at least one of them. This is by far the most twisted, demented, horrific build I've ever read so far! If there was a Halloween Build Contest here, this would win hands down!!! As much I dislike these kinds foul plays, I must say it is beautifully done and well presented from top to bottom with your excellent signature sense of humor ( Yours Mr. Shin! ) ( I've been writing and editing stories all my life. I cam easily tell in a group who did the writing or typing )  You'll did a great job.

    Thanks, Ry! Falkreath is a hard hold to pin down lore-wise, so there's a fair amount of speculation that comes with it (which is a shame because there is obviously some dramatic history in there SOMEWHERE xD). I agree, aside from Mason's Kingslayer build, this is the darkest one I've ever played, and certainly the darkest one I've helped to build. Not normally my cup of tea either, but for whatever psychopathic reason, I found it more fun than I care to admit xD As to the writing, we all wrote various parts of the build, but agreed to let whoever posted it re-word things, if need be, in order to keep the voice consistent. Some of it I hardly touched at all because these guys have a VERY similar brand of humor (you can, for example, blame Kael for any undue silliness in the 'Concoctions' section... the man is a nuttier than a fruitcake xD)

    So I've begun your build and so far my only deviation has been perk wise...

    I've done
    Stealth(1/5)
    Muffled movement
    Light step

    On the grounds that a spirit would be capable of both stealthy behavior and would have a step lighter than air :p

    As for other perks... I've just been too lazy to trek out to winter hold, so I've yet to invest much magically

    On the note of magic... I'm considering paralysis for my own end game... Take the route of coming down each night to clear one house... But paralyze and torture my victims to death slowly ;D I may even expand a little... I mean.. We can't have travelers coming to falkreatb from other holds, can we?

    That's a cool take on the build, and I like the RP reasons behind the stealth tree.

    Paralyze and torture victims slowly? You really kicked 'dark' up a notch! xD

    Funny you should say that about 'expanding' the peace; I actually did find myself taking random folk out in my travels, and noticed I was more likely to kill people the closer I got to Falkreath, but I do like the idea of creating some 'breathing room' :D

    Exactly :p And I personally justify it as being both a curse and a bonus. I've always liked using traps to Mt advantage, and now I can only set them off with arrows As far as the rest... Go big or go home ;) Falkreath is going to get a little more bleak. Unfortunately putting this on hold while I work on the new event! Since you're joining in, good luck and may you churn out another masterpiece
