    Thanks Goober, it means a lot to me that my builds are still inspiring Skyrim players two and a half years later! You guys are the reason I don't want to stop creating new characters :D And I always strive for creativity and originality because it makes the roleplay and gameplay that much more tantalizingly immersive. If you do end up playing the Illithid, let me know how your playthrough goes. I know I had a blast with the entirety of the build and I cut a lot of my own personal roleplay out because it was too much!

    If you could make a small improvement, I think the small potion bottle images on a lot of other builds look pretty cool next to the special potions for the build (while I was thinking about this I noticed it is Cyrodilic not Cyrodiilic).

    And yes, I have created this character! Fortunately I have the same goal as with the Skaal character - to finally explore the Dragonborn DLC in its entirety and to make use of as many of the DLC's additions as possible.

    I had originally intended on inserting those potion images but it was late when I posted this and didn't wanna fiddle with them. I've been touching up my builds here and there and will probably do that soon. Also, in Morrowind the term Cyrodiilic (referring to something from Cyrodiil) was used. In Oblivion, Cyrodilic was used instead and has carried over to Skyrim. While I'm sure both are acceptable and understandable, I guess I should get up to date :) And you're going to love the Illithid in both DLCs. I stated this in the build but get Azhidal's boots ASAP! They really help out a ton in Dragonborn.

    Thanks Chris! It's definitely one of those builds that takes some imagination but it has great roleplay supplemented by very powerful and fun gameplay. Let me know if you have any questions while playing it.

    Al, this is F'ing brilliant.  I'm a huge DnD fanboy from back in the day, and this is a perfect way of representing the Illithid.  I never once considered the idea of mind control for Dark Brotherhood.  Did it work everytime where you weren't held accountable?

    Everytime so long as you were undetected. Which wasn't hard once I got Invis :) Dude, this build was so fun! Seriously, give it a try and get into the roleplay of actually being an illithid.

    'Defiantly'? That's a Tae-ism right there... I wouldn't want her to find out you're stealing it from her ;D Love that auto-correct! xD
