    Finally going well on my Enchanting Build, I've hit Level 10 and managed to stumble my way into a few staffs (some from Labrythnian and others randomly) and the stuff needed to make my first Conjuration Staff. Going to make a Flame Atronach Staff and then go on a money making rampage of GLORRRRRYYYY!

    In other words, I need to make... 50,000 gold as an absolute minimum, any less and I just won't be able to turn myself and my followers into near-godlike beings. I have to admit, I'm kind of bummed that the low level is going to mean that the best armor I'm likely going to get is Steel Plate/Elven, but there's something really interesting about making low-level gear incredible. Going to create a few sets for all occasions, possibly even going to Fortify Restoration some shit just to get really creative.

    After this...Going to try and get the Dremora Butler, and do Dawnguard...because yes I'm slightly insane.

    Umu my dude, umu. Hah, let's see. I was also thinking of doing Lancer from Fate/Zero, even if the only mod that adds Spears on PS4 makes the. Two handed.

    Nothing to get bummed out about there! Steel Plate is one of my favorite sets for characters, no matter what the level. Aesthetically, it's got a sleek look to it that higher level armor can't match, and on a mechanical level, I've found that it works quite well in mitigating damage. Plus, if you take the Steed stone, you'll be running around like you're wearing robes, AND you can create as many Steel sets as you want with zero weight penalties... gadfrey, how I love that stone xD

    My two-hander is level 17 and about to get sweep. Won't be going for special powers, it's not in his roleplay, but he has almost saved up for Hjerim.

    Good point on the Steed Stone, though I'm going to be having multiple sets for both Elven and SP. I do love the Steel PLate, good idea there Shin :D Between the Lord Stone and Dremora Butler (Which I still need to check up on) I should be able to run around fairly easily with all my stuff. But yeah, it is one of my favorite sets but there'd be something really cool about rocking Ebony or Glass :)

    Gotta dig Sweep, but that'd mean your nearly finished with leveling wouldn't it? That's totally great :D

    I also had a weird idea for a build inspired by Kotomine Kirei, but I'm still thinking on how to replicate his Black Keys and the like. As well as what to use as a stand in for mapo tofu. Though I will admit, roleplaying his ability to only feel any real emotion or joy via causing evil, clashing with the morality he learned as a priest would be interesting

    Kirei's a bloody interesting person to look at from a Roleplaying Perspective. Especially once you start wondering whether a certain something (don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't watched UBW) corrupted him in the later series. Because he really isn't that terrible in Zero, a little cold-hearted at times but when you compare him to Kiritsugu he's closer to a...misguided priest rather than a Fake Priest. Though I have always liked the kind of... similarities between Shirou and Kirei, they're almost like mirrors of each other.

     

    FATE SPOILER TALK - Watch Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night and Unlimited Bladeworks at least before reading any of this

    I mean, both are combat focused mages that rely primarily on using their weapons (which are numerous and fairly easy to replace) at enemies but can back that up with a decent amount of unarmed combat mostly gained through real-world experience. Both of them were pulled into Holy Grail Wars without really knowing much about them and were then helped by a Toshaka, but only because it was to their advantage (or so Rin says :P). If you even get into some of the EMIYA stuff, then you've also got the fact that both of them started life trying to do good but ended up doing far worse things than they ever wanted, and ended up as twisted versions of their original selves. Then you've got the fact that both Shirou and Kirie were corrupted by Angra Mainyu...Kind of makes you think doesn't it? Oh and technically they were both nearly killed and then saved by Kiritsugu's actions.

    Random thoughts over, could get more into it I suppose, but yeah, interesting stuff there huh.
