    You have not mentioned any shouts. It feels as of "slow time" would be perfect for this build. Even better than using sneak. Also, it sounds like he is a good guy that worship the divines. But at the same time he also likes the daedra? Wouldn't he want to eliminate daedras?

    Shouts aren't needed in every build, there's no need crowbar them in if the poster doesn't feel the need to.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant to write "Try to avoid" when talking about the daedric quests instead of "try and avoid" which may indeed have made it look like he was going to try them, which is not the case.

    Slow time would indeed be quite interesting, however as this build relies quite heavily on horse-archery (aka Mounted combat) shouts wouldn't be as usefull. Hence the reason why I didn't add any. Another good example would have been the "marked for death" shout which would have allowed the western Wind to circumvene the lower damage of Zephyr.

    But you know, a build is just a guideline, so if you feel like certain things would fit in, just add them to your playthrough.

    Not saying that shouts are always needed. Just saying that this character would really benefit from it while keeping the whole aspects of being a fast shooter.

    I know builds are more of a guideline but I often try to follow them in detail

    Ahhh, shame about that, it would have been spot on for a character like this! The UESP is a pretty damn good source of information, seems far superior to the wikia.

    This is wonderfully presented, and the concept is pretty cool: a pure archer doing his thing on horseback. I've got to be honest... I'm intrigued by this idea (this is one of the things I'll have to try before TES VI comes out).

    Again, great work on this... my hat's off to anyone who can make me want to attempt archery on horseback ;D

    It seems to be a general rule with my stuff If I have to believe you guys. But ah, I have quite a lot of patience when needed.

    And well, I myself think I should have polished it a bit more. The playtesting went quite well though, until I reached the higher levels where you really had to start investing time in forging your gear up a bit. But I understand if it's not a thing everyone likes, especially with the horse-archery which can be a real pain if you are not used to it normally, add the drawing speed of your bow to it and it becomes a lot more difficult to get it right.
