Alright I figured as much and would go with the Lord stone but thought I would still ask. Hmm I see you're point on the smithing to get to being able to craft daedric gear.

Wow the videos are amazing I never realized how powerful the summons are in the game boy I feel silly for overlooking them.

Any suggestions for gear to aim at getting a "end game" look? I love the look of the vampire gear on your character but for a male character I am not sure what to go for. I like the look of the vampire gear and use it on several of my characters but I was curious if there was another set that would fit into this style of play just as well?

Unfortunately, the cool unique sets (like guildmaster's) are already enchanted. Here's a few cool looking sets that could be made to fit the build. Cloth is also an option if you'd rather wear black robes or something, just be careful around archers.

• Worn Shrouded Set 
• Penitus Oculatus Set 
• Forsworn Set
• Ancient Nord Armor
• Falmer Heavy Armor 
• Ebony 
• Daedric 

Personally, I'd go for Daedric or Ebony for aesthetics. Don't worry too much about armor rating though. If you play this one properly, your summons will take the beating for you. 

You could also try to use the Ebony Mail. I find it looks best with the Blades boots and gloves personally. 

I'll admit, it's a bit of a stretch hahah. I justified it with the whole 'everyone pulls together in a crisis' cliche. I don't picture them hi-5ing and going for beers after lol.

Yeah the Guildmaster's look did seem like ideal sets but yeah already enchanted sadly. Ironically I was looking for different armor styles when I had asked this question and looked at almost all of these exact armor styles.

Never gotten the Ebony Mail artifact due to never seeming to be able to get about mid-20s before leveling seems to slow to a crawl with skills taking longer to increase. Might make it a goal of mine to reach that artifact.

Alright thanks for the tips I am getting ready to start out on this build and see where it takes me. Still a bit undecided for the armor but I'll more or less come to my decision by the time I leave Helgen.

Lol although that would hilarious to see 

I am playing this build right now and loving it. I am trying to make this guy a heavy armor user and was wanting some advice. I would like to use a full set of heavy armor to benefit from at least the Well Fitted perk and was wondering what type of enchantment do you think would work to replace to boost from the Diadem of the Savant?

Would it also be a good choice to not worry about the sneak skill with using heavy armor or should I still try an aim at getting a decent skill with sneak?

I'd take just sneak for the 3x archery damage for the first shot. I don't think I would bother with the left side of the tree as much though. Those perks could probably be better spent in heavy armor or block. 

As for helmet enchantments, Fortify archery and water-breathing would be my first pick. You could swap WB for lock-picking though. 

Just out of curiosity, whereabouts would the Oblivion Walker stand on the Civil War? Imps or Stormcloaks.

I ask because even though completion of the main quest is included in this build, there's that point where if we don't take a side, there is the option to negotiate a treaty. (And also because Speech is not part of the build.)

The Oblivion Walker has no personal stake in the outcome of the war, so I negotiated the treaty and eventually sided with the Empire. A case could be made for either side:

Stormcloaks

• Mehrunes Dagon is the lord of revolutions and change

Imperials

• Bretons in Skyrim don't typically get along with the "true Nords"
  • This is especially true of the Daedra worshipers (see natives of the Reach)
• The Roman Empire was ripe with plots, treason, bribery, and assassinations
  • Cyrodiil's empire is based on Rome, so it's a perfect environment for a worshiper of Boethea, Mephala, and Nocturnal
• Oblivion Walker isn't big on the whole "honor" thing

You could go either way, but personally I sided with the Empire in the end.
