I need to get some more pictures for sure, I personally like reading a lot so walls of texts from others don't bother me but I see how it could hurt my build. I do intend on editing this build to have some pictures later, I just couldn't find a lot, especially of Zurin Arctus.

The extra skill choices are supposed to represent the underrepresented parts of Talos Lore, the idea that Wulfharth and Zurin might actually have been mantled before Lorkhan was, to give Hjalti enough raw power to actually mantle Lorkhan himself. I thought it was a bit different in that it was a kind of a 'heretical' take on being Talos.

That's exactly what I was going for, in the Mantling Lore section of the build I tried to show that the strain of mantling two different people started to affect Hjalti's mind along with everything else. Mantling Lorkhan certainly didn't help his mental state. I tried to show this subtly by having him have difficulty with referring to himself as an individual and in first person, since I imagine that the strain of his life and everything he did would have seriously affected his mental state. I tried to make him come off as a cynical and strategic emperor, while also having aspects of the elf hating Ysmir Wulfharth, and the powerful battlemage Zurin Arctus.
The end result could be better though, and I'm going to work on improving based on everyone's constructive criticisms. Especially working on portraying the idea of him being 3 different people better and with less subtlety.

I understand where you are coming from mate, the potential is there, add some pictures according to the advice given, and when you mention at the start of a build that it is very lore intensive, stick to the lore, or say this is my impression of what I perceive Talos to be. Necromancy??? please. I did give it a like though, for your effort and obvious talent +1

Thanks, I'll take your advice when I start editing this build after I get some images to make it look better, the Necromancy is supposed to represent the Arctus aspect idea.

Others touched the somewhat odd choice of skills and well-handled presentation of mantling. I'll focus purely on gameplay and skill presentation. I'll use bulleted list to illustrate those points better.
Overall, interesting idea, good grasp of mantling concept and inventive way of tying it into the backstory and Helgen. Your response to criticism is also a big plus. You have my +1, work on it some more, improve presentation and you'll be all set.

Thanks, I'll try to find a way to use them in the build, I'm not great with using art and I want to put them in parts where the picture makes thematic sense and not just throw them in there haphazardly.
