    I hope somebody cuts a video together for this build.

    I really appreciate the focus on gameplay(aka, the fun part) that this build strives for.

    Ah well The Yekef does these things without pretention  There's no dedicating her life to the cause of the Dark Brotherhood in some twisted ideology or Lucian LaChance crush, nor is becoming a vampire "because they are cool" or some other thirteen year old nonsense. As for The Yekef is a Volkhar, well that's pretty much the only vampire choice in the game. The Dark Brotherhood is joined for a definite long term reason but the character hasn't any moral difficulty with it by her very nature. If you tried to make her somewhat sympathetic, a nice vampire, none of it would work.

    Male Bosmer annoy the crap out of me. Female Bosmer are pretty sexy and always have been. this one is no exception

    That is actually one of the reasons why I stuck with this concept - a chance to explore Skyrim's "evil" quests with a character that has no problems with them

    Thanks Bonelord! It was definitely a challenge to make it all fit together

    There are two reasons why I'm against glitches:

    1) Entirely subjective - when I use a glitch for a character I get that constant feeling of that not being intended by the developers and that I'm playing the game "the wrong way"

    2) Objective reason, with much more impact. Most of the glitches are fixed by the Unofficial Patch mods and builds that rely on those can become unplayable for those users. I prefer my builds to be accessible to everyone.

    Thanks man!

    The Aspect of Terror line did not boost fear enchantments in both my and Teccam's testings. As for the undead, stagger still works on them. The follower deals the bulk of damage, your arrows just make sure that he does not get hit very often.

    I do plan to record a gameplay video for it, though I have little time during the working days and it'll probably be left on a weekend. 

    Thanks!

    What is considered a "glitch" in your terminology?

    Is using Necromage on a vampire character a glitch?

    Is drinking a restopotion (vendor bought) before taking the Atronach stone a glitch?

    Is riding your horse directly up the mountain from Riverwood to High Hrothgar a glitch?

    Is killing the draugr in the final room of Dustman's Cairn one by one by powerattacking with a greatsword through the sarcophagus a glitch?

    I'd say yes to the first two. Bugs with Fortify Restoration are fixed with Unofficial Patch and neither of the first two points will work with it installed. The second two are situational techniques that can't serve as a cornerstone of the build IMO. I also consider them, well, cheap

    I don't. After running to Ivarstead and then up the stairs to HH for 20-30 times, one gets bored and the horse thing becomes a life-saver if you want to progress into the main story without getting bored.

    As for the draugr - try fighting them on Legendary at a low level some time the normal way and you'll resort to the "cheap" one quckly

    So I take it your definition of a glitch is "anything that is removed by the so-called Unofficial Patch"?
