Haha yeah the beginning is tedious to me to after a million characters of mine went through it haha, to bad there's no character creation menu when you leave the cave like in obvlivion. Would help with roleplaying too

I think what I love most about this build is how everything fits 100% into existing lore. Even being Dragonborn seems a natural fit here; many builds seem to sidestep it, despite using Shouts (often calling them "special moves"). I think it's because a lot of the RP in those builds would be broken a bit if the character was also Dovahkiin in addition to whatever convoluted backstory that's been set up. This guy, though...it just fits. Given that I love the Main Quest and the story of Skyrim, it's important to me that any build I run fits into that.
Something else I really like is that the build is "finished" at level 38, instead of the more common 50. I've never gotten a character to level 50, ever; I think my highest was the mid-30s. That's a much more reasonable goal to shoot for, and gives breathing room to add other skills later on if you want.
I've been trying for a while to decide on a new playthrough, and I think I'll go with this. One change, though- I'll be playing a Clever Woman. I actually think it still fits the lore very well- instead of a old, grim man possessing ancient knowledge and power, you have a young, mysterious woman possessing powers and knowledge beyond that of ordinary mages. The idea that women can possess strange wisdom and have connections to the unseen is a very common thread in ancient tribal cultures, and it fits well into the Nordic milieu. The "wise woman" is a well-worn trope for a reason. I can see the jarls of Skryim dealing with this odd newcomer whose youthful visage hides the ancient power and wisdom she offers.
Man, I love this build.

Ooh, 'wise woman' would be great! I'm not sure if it's possible to make a freaky old lady in Skyrim (since the game wants you to be sexayyy), but I'd play that. :) Thanks for the kind words.
