    Damn Shin, that's a hell of a compliment.  Thank you!  I think I spent more time on the design details than actually writing, so it's really good to hear that it's having its intended effect.

    So, I looked this over as per your request in the Exemplar rank discussion, and aside from a couple of minor things, the only thing I can think of that you can do to improve this is to elaborate on the whole "museum-building" aspect some more. It's what makes this build unique, tell us more!

    I'm a big fan of this build and I actually gave it a play sometime ago, however my incurable restartitis took over and made me shift into another build before I put much effort into it. However, I'm planning on giving it another go. I have a question though. You claim this character would join the Dawnguard, but you don't really elaborate much on that subject. My main issue with it is that the Dawnguard seems a tad bit too heroic for this lad. I don't really see this guy slaying an ancient vampiric clan to be honest. But please, tell me. How did you justify it?

    Hey Legion. As promised Im here to deliver some advice that should help make this build even more appealing. Before we begin let me just say that 55 likes on your very first build is nothing short of amazing. This build has been more positively received than I could have ever anticipated. 

    To start, I suggest left indentation on your paragraphs. Center indentation leaves all this awkward white space in a build which detract from its overall presentation. Speaking of space, the two pictures featuring primary and secondary skills, while artistic do not really tell us much for all the space they take up. Perhaps make them smaller or merge them with the section where you discuss the skills. 

    This being such a roleplay heavy character, I'd like to see more info on the quests you did. The curator concept is an awesome one so definitely go into much greater detail as to what you added to your museum. There's so much you can justify doing as a collector. The daedric/aedric artifacts, rare weapons, treasures, books to be preserved before those neanderthal-like Nords burn them all. The list goes on. Theres so much more depth that can be put into the quest section. 

    Thats all I have and I hope this has helped.

    @ Albino, Xavier, and Curse:

    Really good feedback, I appreciate it!  I'll break out my extra fine combs and go over it shortly.  Thanks!

    I finally got around to starting my version of this build. I'm going a little more Indiana Jones artifact hunter & Crossbow trickster, but your Curator was what inspired me to play a collector / scholar.

    Nice build!  I like the thought behind the roleplay, and the presentation is nice too.

    That's good to hear, I'm glad you found some inspiration here.  You'll have to let me know how it is - haven't used a crossbow in ages, but I know it can get get pretty ridiculous with Quick Draw and the...the perk that lets you move faster.
