    It is really refreshing. I know it may seem boring for some, but I am a fan of straight ahead playtime. Meaning no going into my favorites menu to change spells or equipment. Just your hammer and your wits! Glad you like it!

    I'm really loving this new influx of in-game based build designs (ie this, Mason's Hold Guard). Especially if they're this well done. Good stuff, man. Very true to the concept.

    And if you want more pics you could always use that awesome Orcish Armor concept art pic Bethesda released:

    (If link doesn't work just run a google image search for "skyrim orcish armor" and it should be like the first to come up.)

    Hey thanks, and awesome pic! That Orc definitely looks pretty grizzled from battle! I will add it in, adding some more role-play points I forgot too.

    I appreciate it!

    Yeah I really enjoy playing as an older character. Roleplaying as one makes the game fresh again, having to walk through cities and not run is something I do at times, as my knees have arthritis!

    Haha yeah. There isn't anything as much fun as smashing baddies with a giant hammer as an old fogey.

    The 'Old Orc"!! The perfect build for a dead is dead character!!

    Its actually pretty hard to make a convincing RP'er out of an Orc without becoming the typical 'Servant of Malacath', this build has alot of charm though and I like it.

    Poor old orc, he seems to have such a shit life, too old to be chief...

    It is rather sad, I must say! I tend to walk instead of run when in cities ... Knees aint what they used to be!

    Woah! This got more love than I expected! First Master level build for me.

    I'd congratulate you now but I'll save it for when this hits Legendary, as I'm sure it will (and deservedly so). Is there irony or what in the fact that it took a tired, old Orc to breathe new life into a tired, old build design? You've essentially taken a very ordinary and simplistic Two-hander build and used your role-play magic to turn it into what is easily the single best dead=dead build there is. I mean srsly, this build will get people who never even had the slightest urge to start up that kind of playthrough to hit those gameplay settings, turn the dial up to Master, and tread carefully. And convincing people to approach the game in an entirely differently way like that is the mark of a truly Legendary buid, and a brilliant creator. Fuck it, congratulations on the (soon to be) Legendary build.
