    Oh this looks like a lot of fun :O  

    I can't stand playing as an old man but the gameplay I will stick to, plus lately I've grown fond of running away from anything so maybe I can do those first 2 dungeons without having to use werewolf form.... wait the draugr at the end... well there's always Uthgerd + courage o_o   Anyways yes yes I will definitely try this. I did something similar once using the alchemy loops but that was years ago. And I'll try and get my hands on Hooded Black Robes, I refuse to look like Heimskir :3

    Question about the 5 amulet things though, wont they be unequipped when I come out of Werewolf form? Or are the items unequipped at the moment of transformation? I rarely do The Companions.

    Update: Or not, seems like my Skyrim doesn't want me running through things and pushing people to skip dialogue >_>  1st time Vilkas didn't move, not even when I knocked him down. Second time after I did everything again they were aggro, because I think I hit one of the companions when they were fighting the giant. Third tame the game just flat out crashed xD  

    I'll bookmark it and try it at a later date when I have more patience .-.

    I normally don't play as an old man either, but the build wouldn't feel like a Greybeard to me unless I played as an old man.

    Yeah, I'll be honest, the only reason why I went with the Hooded Monk Robes is because the Greybeards are monks. The Hooded Blue Robes would probably be the best fit actually. According to UESP they can be found on a dead adventurer at Deep Folk Crossing if you have Dawnguard installed.

    With the equipment stacking glitch, your stuff won't be unequipped when coming out of werewolf form.

    Yeah, sometimes Skyrim just flat out refuses to cooperate with you. Good luck working it out. :)

    I just started playing your build a this morning and its quite awesome. Two things:

    1. I am using the Ordinator perk overhaul and the only place i am spending points in is the speech skill tree down the shouts path. I am level 7.

    2- i need some help with finding the hooded monk robes. could you please upload a screenshot of its location on the map?

    Near the exit from Helgen, there should be a Shrine to Talos, where a Thalmor operative massacred a group of believers, before being slain. Two bodies have a the hooded monk robes

    Glad you like it! Regarding the hooded monk robes, this should help you, as should this picture.

    Well, I'm pretty sure you did everything to hide this build from me.
    I really like the weaknessess of the character, as well as the lvl 1 idea and how you explain the "Way of the Voice". :)
    Just tell me... Why didn't I like it before?
