Hello and welcome back. Some nice interests you got there! Hope you 'll find interesting things here, have fun!

Yeah OP is fun for sure. The character I will be starting shortly-ish (when I 'm sure what race / backstory I want him to have) will be played on legendary it will be very hard in the beginning but the damn thing at mid game will be so OP if I also go for alchemy the damage will be insane that's why I went full hardcore skyrim with increased spawns, combat mods and all that. And yeah check Forgotten Magic out it has some cool spells fit for many playstyles. 

@Thorien - Yeah I was planning to read that one. Your character could make for a good playthrough. @Ilani - Oh yeah Resto has a perk to make healing spells offensive which is pretty cool. On the other hand I found a damn OP combo with Ordinator bound weapons perks and the arcane weapon along with some other spells from Forgotten Magic, not sure if you have the mod but I think you could find a few useful spells in Forgotten Magic it has a paladin spells section among others and most perks from ordinator stack with those spells. Being balanced and all is cool but sometimes you just gotta go the OP path and blast them to Oblivion. :P Edit: Ilani there are mods that can give you lycanthropy. Haven't played a lycanthropy build in years so I don't remember which are the ones if I 'm not mistaken Moonlight Tales mod can give you lycanthropy but not sure This post was edited by Duvain at October 10, 2018 12:03 PM EDT

@Ilani - Certainly, coupled with Ordinator's Restoration perks as well they should be the best choise for a support character. I thought sometimes to grab a few follower mods like Inigo and other custom followers and play such a character but never got around to do it. If I make one 'll probably make a support character with healing/auras and such and unarmed. Ordinator's unarmed perks are pretty good sadly the game's animations for unarmed aren't :/

@Thorien - Yeah I 'm all about survival and was digging for some time now into the Imperials and to be more precise the Colovians. From a first look into them they give me the impression that they are similar in the Empire as Sparta was in Greece. They are much more hardy and rough compared to Nibenesse, militaristic, have a bit of isolation in them and they are also proud and value  independence, self preservation and strong mental fortitude and lastly they act as the muscle of the Empire. On another note Imperious mod is giving them some cool racial abilities and I have never played an Imperial character in Skyrim so I might go for that. A big grim Colovian guy that is out for blood or twitst it a bit and make him a wuss that was thrown into Skyrim and now he has to survive the harsh and cold land in hardcore mode - RIP. :D Coming onto the theme of the topic something I noticed playing Skyrim and other rpg/mmorpg is that even though I grew up in a rural area (kinda close to a city but the place is still rural) and thought that I very much prefer cities with all the comforts when playing a game I tend to appreciate rural areas and survival much more than city areas.
