Not entirely sure where else to post this (was aiming for some of the Character Building threads but the links are all broken).
I've been playing around with a character long enough that I think I could put together a bit of a build (nothing amazing, and more aimed at Roleplaying and the Character rather than being a succesful build) and I was wondering if there were any level limits or anything. My idea was to post it whenever I finish the Main Quest + Alliance Questline (Just finished Sancre Tor and reached Windhelm) as a first stage and then update it for Level 50 and any other major milestones that I reach.
I don't know. If I were to post more builds in the future I was debating whether doing it in installments for reaching each major area for an alliance. So Stage 1 would be finishing Stonefalls, then Deshaan and so on. But I don't want to do that if there is an expectation that my build should be 100% complete before beign posted (even though technically it will work at each stage for that point).
This questions reminds me to ask something that I'd meant to ask for a while
What is the 'policy' (for want of a better term) about posting up ESO builds? I'm not even totally sure what I mean by ESO 'build' - because when I search 'ESO build' on YouTube I get all sorts of things that differ quite widely, and very little that looks like the kinds of builds that made this site what it is.
I ask because I'd be interested to see some detailed and thorough builds - with roleplay, backstory, skill point placement, morphs, traits etc.
Excellent questions, both of you. Quite frankly, there are no hard-and-fast policies for ESO builds, but now that the game is starting to find some traction here on the Vault, I might as well get to the task. Later today or earlier tomorrow, I will post a discussion on the subject seeking some general input from the community. I will provide a general framework but the discussion will, hopefully, fill in the gaps and make it a community project of sorts.
@DB, I think a progression build is a do-able prospect. Since most on the Vault are, generally, newcomers to the game, it does no good to post an end-game build without a sense of progression on how to get to the end game. In fact, the most common complaint I hear from newbies is that YouTube and other sources fail to explain what to do and how to enjoy the game at lower levels. It's so easy to lose sight of how much there is to do in this game in the mad dash to get to level 50. What you propose seems to address that problem.
