  Ok cool, thanks! I'm excited about doing this character, mainly because I've never used 100% spell absorbsion before. The unlimited Stamina should be awesome too.

  Teccam or Kaiser, did you guys get the "perpetual panting" with your Unlimited Stamina method? I tried Alastors' way with the 18% and 21% Resto potions, and my guy is always panting. I had to set the Voice volume low because it got so annoying lol.

  You can't trust Alastor, he's sketchy. 

  I never had that happen to me while playing this build, but I certainly don't claim to have exhaustive knowledge of how/why this works or what the possible side effects could be.

  I have had that panting thing happen to me with vegetable soup. It seems to be some kind of loop that is caused when you mess with stamina stuff like that.

  I looked into this a bit more. Working assumption is that it can happen whenever you're messing around with Fortify Stamina effects. It's not specifically a problem with the infinite Stamina trick, but it can result from this trick all the same. Here are a few fixes I've seen people mention online (I can't test it personally because I haven't gotten the glitch to occur on a character):

  1. Allow Stamina to refill, then fully drain it by sprinting. (This one cannot be done on the Sapiarch, as he cannot fully drain his Stamina.)
  2. Open a container, then close it.
  3. Fast travel.
  4. Shout.

  The Shout one seems like the best bet to me, as this should override both the soundbyte and the animation for the "out of breath" effect. The poster who suggested this specifically mentioned using one word of Unrelenting Force, but I imagine it'd work equally well with any shout. Tim, and anyone else who's experienced this glitch, please give those ideas a try and let us know if any of them fix the issue for you!

  I'd just like to say, this is probably the most fun I've ever had with a build that isn't my own. I'd had a similar idea, and hunted around on here for tips, and found this. Its so wonderful. An absolute blast. I wish there was an easy way to get some permanent shout reduction along with the unlimited stamina. I utilized custom potions and the Gauldr fragment. I only made enough back UPS for Saarthal; so now I don't want to remove it. Haha..
