    Oh sweet man thanks! Can you link your treasure hunter or tell me the name so I can look at it?! I actually did end up perking adept destruction and used fireball a bit. I pretended he had a rocket launcher :) I'm not on pc, but I do want to give old miraak's sword a go. Thanks for the kind words and suggestions. Always appreciated.

    Cool build Motty, I never thought of placing Indy in Tamriel.  I know he doesn't particularly care for swordfighting :P.  I do like that the he's a more rebellious type though; Thieves Guild was unexpected, but a nice addition.  It's an interesting take on the archetype, well done :)

    Hey thanks man. Also thanks for the inspiration. I still say your Curator is one of the best around!

    Well if I had a name I would go by "The Wandering Explorer"

    He is an High Elf about middle aged and skilled in ALL fields of combat. ( Meaning he dabbles in really all the skill trees ) He seems to do better with magic though, specializing in all the schools of magic. ( Saving a great deal of the conjuration for his next act in his story )

    He wanders into all the holds of Tamriel to see the sights and most of all to see how does it operate under such  dark times. Being new to it, like me being new to the game itself, He collects treasures, and uses them as instruments to bring back to his HQ for display as well as to show the future characters ( One playthrough almost finished, three more to go ) the how, where and the who. Each characters mission is to explore a certain part of the world and bring back its findings for all to see!

    It may not be much for roleplay but its the sole reason on why I play, to keep the mission going on keeping on!

     

    I like the idea of a Fireball spell being a rocket launcher. Has powerful as that spell is ( My favorite fire spell, that and maybe incinerate spell ) I can easily envision the connection between the two. Genius! you have one great imagination!

    interesting take...keeping the adventure going. I like that. You should write it up if you get a chance!

    This build reminds me a lot of Zaric Zhakaron's relic hunter build series on his YouTube channel.

    Oh cool. I just checked his channel out and I see he's running a lot of mods with it. I will say it would be nice to have more options like a customizable house/museum more so than vanilla Skyrim allows. But alas I'm on console, not pc.

    I'm on console too, so I feel your pain. His relic hunter is more akin to a cross between your build and Legion's Curator build, with a dunmer pyromancer thrown in.

    Thanks! between my hectic schedule and the steep requirements to make a build on here, it would take me a days' worth of work to put that altogether. I wouldn't have any pics nor, backstory like talking about it. Maybe, one day when my life can get back on track like it was a year and a half ago.

    Just a heads up to those who had followed this build. At the suggestion of the CounterfeitFrenchman, I went back and play tested using Miraak's Sword a bit more as a "whip" of sorts. The tentacle actually looks pretty whip-like and so I added into the build. It doesn't really come into play that much and it's mostly aesthetic, but I liked the idea and I was carrying around a blade anyway, so in it went. 

    Thanks again to those who commented and liked this one out of the bloodworks!
