And we appreciate the free bump. 

Thanks for the compliment for real though. No matter who wins this contest brought out the best in a lot of builders

I wouldn't want to sleep with the fishes so you can have the like. I really do like the build, the Roleplay is suitably interesting and fairly unique and you throw in some great and rather interesting combat for a thief. The usage of Bleeding Damage is really great.

I do have to ask is there some glitch I don't know about that makes people use Orcish Axes for bleeding damage? or is just the look. Great work including Riften in the build, that drug trade element is the most interesting part of the build I reckon.

Anyway nice work and a +1 from me

The Orcish axe (I gotta spell this right or Albino gets mad at me) is glitched in such a way that it deals insanely high bleed damage for a weapon of its tier. Its bleed damage is as high as a daedric ax. 

Awesome build, great presentation, looks like a very fun build to play! Of course I'm making the right choice by clicking that like button

Smart move

"This Kal shin whatever they call themselves"...Forgeddaboudit!

Dis guy, hah!?! Look kid, you got moxy--I'll give you your like--but you cross the line again, and you can forgeddabout sleepin' with the fishes... you'll be sleepin' in the fishes!

But all my wannabe mobster cliches aside, this one looks like a lot of fun... a serious bruiser and bleeder. Great take on the mobster/thief and the perfect accoutrement to Skyrim's dirtiest city. I'm glad this one made it! :D

It looks awesome! It's been a pleasure working with you man - when we put our heads together we can come up with some really great things! That artwork is just superb too!

Oh you'll have a ton of fun doing that. The money i amassed making and selling "drugs" was unreal.

Nice build. Too many thieves end up feeling a bit too clean and noble for my liking, there is a satisfying level of thuggery to this one! I'm thinking argonian would make a good secondary race here with the riften connection and general feel. Also Linwe's armour set would work with three out of four enchantments being useful. It may or may not be worth noting that the extra bleeding damage doesn't really get going until the final level of bleed perk. The extra swing speed is useful all the time though. When I did a 'bleed' playthrough I also stuck a one point absorb health enchant on the axe purely for the visual effect. As this build has alchemy you could use that to boost this to be a more solid enchantment if desired.

Hm, I really like the idea of sticking a weak absorb health effect for the look alone. I'll definitely see about adding that if raid is cool with it.
