    Good catch, didn't think about that.

    You've missed a couple (at least) of Norse-based builds.

    Berserker

    Thor

    Hey guys, I think I'm going to keep to the theme of mythology for awhile. Are there any gods or heroes in specific you guys want to see.
    Right now I'm leaning towards Hades or Icarus.

    Definitely Hades. Glad to see you're keeping with mythology builds, they're a great inspiration :)

    Daedalus.  The Minotaur.  Odin.  Fenrir.  Orpheus.  Odysseus.  Hermes. Hephaestus.

    With the heroes, the larger challenge is playing out their story as it is told in mythology.  :D  Would be interesting to see someone do a playthrough of Skyrim using the Iliad and the Odyssey as an outline for their story.

    And, of course, for an additional/silly challenge:  Hestia (must have Hearthfire)

    Hestia would be funny. I'm not sure of Hephaestus and the Minotaur :\ I do like the idea of Odin, Fenrir, Daedalus, and Hermes( though he may end up a little too similar to Henson's Magician).

    Hephaestus you need only make the biggest, ugliest character possible and make him into some kind of warrior blacksmith.  I think that particular god is ripe for Orc roleplay as  Hephaestus was traditionally "shunned" by the other Olympians.

    Of all of the ones I listed, I'd like best to see Daedalus as some kind of Dwemer expert, but without being able to summon/construct Centurions, Spheres, and Spiders, the build falls a little flat.  (Nice skill ability, though:  Centurion + Flames + Paralysis = Brazen Bull...though...Daedalus did not invent that device)

    Yeah I just don't like the idea of a blacksmith focused build, though he could be good roleplay. There is the Aetherium Staff that summons spiders or spheres for Daedalus.

    Hades build is up, still under construction though.

    Awesome build, though I wish I were more steeped in norse mythology, as this is the first I've heard of this god :(


    If you are still taking suggestions on builds I personally would love to see an Odysseus build.
