    Damn that is pretty great, yeah that'd work fine with the build,

    Thanks for bringing that to my attention, love the mod author but I've never stumbled across that somehow

    Hot damn, now that is some high praise, especially from the guy with THE Pit Fighter Build 

    Thanks Paul, it really means a lot to both Phil and I, if you do play it, don't be afraid to let us know what changes (if any) you made and how much you enjoyed it.

    MO, if I were to play this archetype, I would take smithing into improving my gear and lightly perk archery for having access for long range attacks

    Honestly, I would've agreed if we didn't completely max out Heavy Armour (and combined Enchanting with weapons). At higher levels and with the added support of most skills you've still got a pretty massive AR, and the damage with the Orcish War-Axe is pretty sweet, especially with Chaos + Absorb Health on mine (Chaos was low damage though btw).

    As for Archery, well we've got Shouts which work well for medium range, and I suppose things like Slow Time, Become Ethereal and Dragon Aspect as defensive shouts that can help us survive against Archers just fine.

    It definitely is fun, I played on Master myself (for most of it, started on Expert, Master by level 10) and it was incredibly enjoyable.  

    Thanks for the comment and like Ry, it's really appreciated.

    It is an awesome shield  It's a shame that the Targe of the Blooded fit better because I was really loving using it in the early levels (and it is kind of hard to justify retrieving it)

    Thanks for the comment Ed

    Thanks Ry, that's a thoughtful comment. Dee Bee has pretty much summed up the reasons for our decisions but your insights are helpful.

    The only thing I can really add is that to me Mor is a melee kind of bull and likes to get hoof to toe with his enemies, after bellowing at them first of course. I didn't picture him as a conservative sort of bovine, unless Al-Esh is riding him at the time that is

    Yeah, 'tis a beauty of a shield. Could you link me to your Varangian Guardsman?

    Daaaaaamn. Damn. Obviously I'm biased when I say that this is superbly done, but there was really no doubt that you two would deliver regardless of my biases. The build's progression, symbolism, and integration of lore throughout is so on point. I even learned a bit more about Morihaus than I knew before! One of my favorite parts is actually the different paths under the equipment spread. I've never seen that before in a team build but it makes sense to do, especially since they both serve meaningful purposes. Honestly, I'm flattered that Edana's and my build was part of the inspiration for this build. Hopefully this build inspires someone else just the same!

    Thank you Legion   If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

    You and Edana have got a lot to answer for   

    I appreciate your kind words and am flattered that you may have picked up something new about Mor.
