I have to read this later. Looks ice. 

If I ever get back into skyrim I'm going to try s o something like this but with no alchemy. nICE build, and a well deserved +1

"Dragonborn Questline: "This asshole attacked me. Sending his stupid cultists after me in an attempt to kill me just because I'm another Dragonborn...Then, he brings me into this creepy tentacle realm and tries to kill me there...Asshole obviously needs to die."

Tentacle porn aside it just feels weird reading that line, considering the effort you put having your character, rather than you explain the build. 

Unless I'm mistaken, people in TES simply don't talk like that. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're going to go through the trouble of writing your build in character, your character might as well sound like she fits within the TES universe. 

Hmm...I disagree. Mostly that it should effect my character, but also to a more limited degree that nobody in the TES universe speaks that way, you'd have to get pretty deep into the in-game books but I have no doubt there are a number of character who would speak in at least semi-similar ways.

But the main point, I don't see how the way most NPC's talk should effect my character...Most of the games aren't really focused on dialogue (thank goodness for that) and defining my character by the awkward way that most dialogue is written just seems off to me. I mean 95% of the characters aren't even developed enough to have real personalities beyond maybe two view points. I won't deny it's a bit of a weird line, but it's weird because the Dragonborn Questline is a bit weird.

Putting aside bethesdas pitiful limitations, I just feel like the character's manner of speaking is quite out of place. She sounds too modern to really blend in, which I feel breaks the immersion you're trying to establish by writing in character.

started this with no alchemy. so far level four and having a blast!

Sorry I'd missed the reply Ajani. That's pretty awesome though, I didn't expect anyone to play through the build so that's really cool (Shit...I'm making ice puns as well).

Without Alchemy the build's potential is really dropped, but only really with Slow Time and pure damage output. I'd recommend picking out Dukaan to wear instead of the Stalhrim Helmet, that would improve your output by just a little more and get you a bit closer to the kind of destruction you see in the build.

Anyway, I'd like to see how your version ends up, it'd be interesting to see you message me or comment about how your going. I've never really had someone let me know they were playing a build and changing it so it's pretty awesome.

Thanks for the like, comment and for giving the build a shot Ajani, it means a lot to me.  

i have always wanted to use dukaan and stalhrim armor together.

as i type this I'm playing it lol.

i consoled in oakflesh and frostbite at the start of the game too to start leveling immediately 

uthgerd the broken just got eaten and thrown by mirmulnir. her steel plate is mine!!!!

this build is so much fun, lol. level 8 so far so good
