I have been playing skyrim off and on since release. I've been trying to find a build and playstyle that suits me. I have leveled a few stealth types, a two handed warrior, and several mages but I've never seemed to get them past their late teens before I try something else.
The alchemy/smithing/enchanting loop (exploitation if you will) turns me off, and the enchanted weapon and the use of soul stones (acquiring them/using the spell/ or having a weapon with the soul trap enchantment on irritates me a little but I'm warming up to part of the game.
I digress however, and my point in this reply was that Ponty's Witch build has kept me interested and I have gotten her to level 18 and plan to play her out at least to level 50, maybe even 81. I am not following his plan exactly...I'm playing her more of a rogue mage type. She is Dunmer, focusing more on Destruction (fire/lightning), Illusion, and Alteration while dabbling in Restoration,Lght Armor and a little Sneak.
Got her the Armor of the Old Gods first, grabbed Nettlebane, and headed off to the College of Winterhold which I plan to play all the way through before moving on to anything else. I believe some Alchemy and the Dark Brotherhood are next in line for her with a smithering of smithing to improve her armor (if it can be improved) and maybe much later some enchanting). She detests the Nords for their treatment of her race and she isn't too keen on the Empire either for trying to lop off her head. I"m really interested to see wear she takes me. Thanks Ponty for a build that finally inspired me to go the distant with. +1 from me
