    When you read a new character build, what are you looking for?

    Are you searching for new ways to play the game through roleplaying or unique gameplay?

    What things about a build make you like them?

    Is it the pictures? The quality of writing? 

    Also, could you tell me what your favorite build is on this site and what you like about it?

    I look for the poster's excitement, dedication, and overall engagement with the game in such a way to bring me back to the first time I played Skyrim.

    People get hung up on "this isn't original" or "this doesn't have enough of 'X' to be good" but I generally like trying to read through a build and jump into the shoes of the person describing the character.

    Good presentation, balanced gameplay, good RP, and signs of the build being a labor of love. That's all I need for me to like a build.

    EDIT: And pictures!
