This build is made for a 100% playthrough on Adept - Legendary difficulty. This build requires a lot of grinding in smithing, enchanting, and Conjuration. This builds Gameplay section will continue to grow and expand as I progress with the Build. I have already played a very close version to this build on the 360, though with no DLC (It doesn't use that much DLC things)

Hey Alex,
I take it this is your first build here on the Vault so first off welcome. My first suggestion is to take a look at some of the builds we have here if you haven't already. Your build is a good starting concept but by the group standards is incomplete. You need to include a game play section. Also instead of having a link to take us off the build you really should make/get a perkspread. Also while there is no level cap on builds as a hard rule a level 81 build isn't going to go over to well as it would be very time consuming to play. I suggest cutting back on some perks down to at least level 60, but ideally level 45-55. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I totally agree with Curse, as it is this build will find its self in a death match, My friend check out the other builds on the Vault there are loads of them, that will give you a better understanding of what's required, and what makes a good build, no like but A for effort, refine and polish mate.

Your choices for equipment and skills taken is perfect! Very good. No editions are needed but a gameplay section and how you approach combat against the quested enemies with this character will help this build a long way. Perhaps, this build should be in the workshop instead out and about. Otherwise it will get torn to shreds. Especially, if you're currently playing through it. Keep it up though, its looking pretty good so far just needs some polishing here and there. Best of luck!

This kind of feels like a build that was played the whole game through, enjoyed thoroughly, and then the player attempted to turn it into a build.
My suggestions on the build/perk spread itself:
1) Trim the fat. The average build on the site is around 50. Yours is the highest level build I've ever seen here, which means it will take the longest to complete out of every other build I've ever seen in this game. I would personally remove:
Removing these made a character at precisely level 50 with significant Sword-and-Board combat skills assisted by enchanted gear, Restoration, and Conjuration. The lack of ranged damage with the bow can be made up by summoned minions and defensive shield use to close gaps. I actually made a mockup of it for you: Tharr ye go.
2) Determine exactly why it is you're trying to make a build. Are you wanting to show a nuanced character with roleplay elements? Demonstrate a type of gameplay? Show off a kind of fun style or flair? Once you've determined this, write your build around it.
3) Why not give more thought to your choice in followers and give a more thought-out reasoning than "She's a very power ice mage"?
4) Regarding your spells section, either expand it and give more gameplay tactics or eliminate it entirely would be my suggestion.
5) I would avoid giving directions like where to build your Hearthfire home without actually giving a reason. Superfluous orders annoy some readers (i.e. me).
6) Don't argue, defend, brag, or giant-font a declaration of lore-friendliness. It makes you look defensive and silly, particularly when the rest of your concept makes no sense.
7) I would elaborate on the Lycanthropy or eliminate it entirely. It seems like you threw it in there because you thought it was cool.
8) How is a heavy-armored, non-alchemist, non-illusionist, non-sneak, non-lockpicking, non-pickpocketing character supposed to finish the Thieves' Guild quest line?
9) I would eliminate the entire section on the character's Archetype and add a short blurb in the introduction giving the same information with a fraction of the space.
10) Please do not tell us that "Bretons are the best" or that they "Tower over other races". Informing us that your choice of race was influenced by the Breton's racial benefits is adequate to carry the point across.
11) Please don't tell me your build is only for the hardcore. I am not twelve years old, thus it will not impress me, particularly when your hardcore action largely consists, by your own admission, or lots and lots of tedious grinding.
12) If having a hard time coming up with a name, why not just use the name of your character for the build rather than going for just his race?
