  Well I've been away from TES for a while, so it seems like a good time to get sucked back in again - especially with a bull warrior like this!

  I admit, though, most of the time when I'm playing Skyrim I have a little part of my brain constantly running, trying to think of how to make the character I'm playing into a build.  It'll feel *really* different not to be doing that.  But there's so much awesomeness here that I think I may be able to "let go" a bit and just enjoy myself 

  I mean, Lord's Mail, Bull of Kyne, a Nord, Orcish gear for the bleed (something I've always wanted to focus on) + Targe of the Blooded... and Tullius' Armor!  Never worn that set.  Oh, and Yngol's Helm!  This is hitting some *excellent* notes for me, guys.

  If this has inspired then that is all Dee Bee I ever wanted, so I say run with your instincts and keep thinking about how you could make this better or change the concept completely and bring back some of those amazing and poetic builds you are famous for  It is just good to have you back with us brother Paul!

  Ah thank you Legion, though without you and E we never would have been as obsessed with Kyne  

  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.

  You should've seen how close to arguing about the Equipment combos Phil and I were over the course of our discussion. In the end our agreement to just add both was much better than debating Tullius vs Blades, though admittedly we both agreed that both were cool combos. 

  Anyway, thanks a lot for the like, comment and of course the Breath of Kyne.

  I totally get this Paul, I do the same thing when playing the game. I've only managed to actually play through 3 builds made by someone else, and all of them turned into my own after awhile. It's hard to go from Builder to just playing around quickly.

  Phil's got the rest of what I was going to say down, so just remember if you give it a shot to have fun, and let us know how it goes

  It's great to see you still active around here as well!  Lots of interesting discussions in the past few months.

   Blush. I can confidently say that I think you and DB broke some fresh ground here. Whether through concept or sheer force of the presentation, this is now the Morihaus build of the Vault.

  It ain't no thang. I'm glad you two settled on the solution of adding both then. It makes me think what a paths build might look like if there was a path for each member on a team. Which...might actually be a cool event. Teams of 2, build templates given, then each member interprets the build their own way and we get a bunch of  cool interpretive pieces out of it. Hm. Maybe down the line!
