    Warning: incoming wall of pixels; 7,931,000 of the buggers, to be precise, worth 2.15MB. If you don't see a build here, wait a few minutes before calling your internet provider or local physician.

     

     

     

    Addendum

    update 7/21: replaced health enchants from Nogo's gear with magicka and stamina enchants, as they went contrary to the spirit of the build and made her too tanky with high-level perks and the Lord stone. The Diadem of True Sight I have enchanted with Fortify Archery and Fortify Conjuration but I'm too lazy to change the image again.

    You may be interested in my personal perk progression for the critical first few levels. You will have to save up perks at times in order to follow this:

    Overdraw, Overdraw, Novice Alteration, Mythic Binding (just in time for Bound Bow if you started the main quest before heading to Fort Amol), Novice Conjuration, Apprentice Alteration, Overdraw, Regeneration, Soul Stealer, Enchanter, Magic Resistance, Mage Armor, Recovery, Adept Conjuration, Oblivion Binding, Overdraw, Adept Alteration, Insightful Enchanter, Enchanter.

    As for choice of Standing Stone, you will definitely want to pick the Mage Stone because Nogo needs to reach the Adept Conjuration perk as soon as possible, but also to help level all the other magey skills. Once you're happy with your spell selection and magicka-consumption, go for the Lord Stone.

    I don't get it. How is this a character build? It's just a story, as far as I can tell. And you call it "bow singer", yet it says "bow saint" at the top of the parchment. And how is it linked to the Mythic Dawn. What even is this? I don't get it. It doesn't make sense.

    The character defies Mehrunes Dagon.
    And the contest is about: "...with ties to the Mythic Dawn cult (such as a current or former member, or sworn enemy)..."

    This is definitely a Character Build. In addition to the story it has skills, perks, equipment, spells, shouts, combat tactics/strategy, the role-play elements, the 'half-draw', etc.  Oh and she starts out as a 'bow-singer' eventually becoming a 'bow-saint'.

    Did you read it or perhaps it bugged out on you - it takes a while for everything to load.

    I especially like the casting into the lava part.

    Awesome.  I'm a big fan of Bound weapons and bows.  I also love the 'half-draw' - that has saved me numerous time.  Often I fire full draw - big baddie charges me and I am only able to make a 'half-draw' shot before melee range - but that's enough to kill them.  You more than fully cover all the elements of a first class build: skills, perks, strategy, equipment, role-play, tips, etc.  Plus it is a very creative presentation, an easy +1.  Nicely done.

    It's bugged for me as well (been sitting here for a couple minutes and it still hasn't loaded), though I was able to read it through another tab, so it worked out fine. Damn, image builds! :P Anyways it looks good and very interesting (the tone was also really enjoyable), as the enemy sponges is monumentally annoying on Master. I also like the slight connection you've made the Sword-Singers and Frandar Hunding (named the biggest badass in the era before eras). +1.

    Like it! +1 What would you say about Magicka/Health/Stamina ratio? I may have missed it, don't know...

    Ooops, messed up the title. Fixed now. And yes, the build image probably didn't load for you; it is 1.64MB in size. I mirrored it for you on my dropbox page: Nogo Build

    And here is a mirror for the story as well: Nogo's Story

    Thanks! Totally original inspired by Frodo and the ring.
