    my creative mind goes into overdrive at random moments. i was up half the night editing (non-skyrim related but fan fic) projects of my own. i see a whole order of this and i'll pick a female one. and now i got a new album to check out, thanks for that too.

    Glad you liked the build man. And the album is a classic definantly one of my favorites by Iced Earth. Very remincent of early Judas Priest and a bit of Iron Maiden I reckon. Have fun rockin out to it \m/

    what was your alt start background for this one?

    I did this build for the Xbox 360 way back in 2014 on Oldrim. Remastered it this year for the Special Edition but kept the starting point the same. As the story suggests you get caught at the border and are destined for the headsmans axe.

    If ya don't want to do the vanilla start i'd just start off as a "Vampire in a secluded lair". You can roleplay that you just skipped all that intro stuff and just be a vamp straight out the gate if you like. (Thats why I got it in the recomended mods part, for any one who doesn't want to contract vampirism the hard way, or is just sick of that really long intro sequence).

    cool. but while these characters are cool, the mods you recommend aren't my favorite and think some are screwing with some stuff.

    Try shuffling the load order around a bit. I know how much of a pain it can be to get that right (Load order is the bane of modded builds, but once youget that sorted it should play smooth). Check this out, it's the guide I used when I first started using mods. How to Use Load Order.

    Also do a hard reboot of your system after istaling them all. If you on console, completly shut it down and unplug the power plug at the back and wait about half a minute then plug that back in. If your still experiencing issues it could be other mods you have that are not playing nice. Make sure you have any required patches. As I recall there was one for Thunderchild and Rotmulaag. If you hav'nt already try downloading the USSEP, that sets alot of issues with the game in most instances straight.

    i'll keep these on the back burner but i'll use some of MY characters for a while. but i like the evil slavemonger style characters. scaring the fuzz off m'rissi and threatening to drink and splatter the thalmor hq walls with the blood of the thalmor captain was fun.

    This looks a bit tighter than I remember, Furrion, slightly more thematic throughout in your use of colour and art so as to be on par with your Reaver build. The backstory looks the same, still an epic tale of revenge with a neat twist in the form of Molag Bal, but I think the art choices and presentation keep the Coldharbour connection alive all the way through while still feeling suitably stormy. Great work, dude!

    @Paws - Cheers for taking a look mate. Glad that those themes are looking more thematic now. I'm considering restructuring the story a little. Still keep it the same as far as what happens but perhaps changing the perspective to be more from the character's POV, similar to the Reaver. Lol when ya look at this compared to the original I did 3 years back, u can really see how far the builds come in terms of aesthetics and story.
