    The backstory as an interview feels really wierd and out of place.

    I just definitely feel like the Gauldur Blackbow is a suboptimal choice here =/ You don't really go into a tomb and use what you find in there; you prepare your optimal equipment outside the tomb, no?

    Agreed, actually. If you want a bow that you find, which makes sense to me in the context of the his build, Zephyr is even a stronger choice for an early game bow (especially since Katria, a fellow explorer and researcher lets you have it). Then you can possibly also acquire, as the tomb raider, Auri-El's Bow and the Dwarven Black Bow of Fate. I use Gauldur Blackbow quite a bit, but because I'm usually pairing it with characters that have deep connection to Nord History (The Outsider) or there is a mechanic to the bow that I'm using. Like my Urag build, when I get to it, will use the Gauldur Blackbow as a means to replace his magicka as he has no regen AND it serves him to have it because he's the librarian of Winterhold and would be drawn to the quest anyway. 

    I've used that Archery overhaul mod, man it helps to be a bit faster on the draw for that mod. I'd personally use Zephyr if you want to avoid the Conjured bow. 

    But otherwise, D3LTA, there are some nice things here. I like the look of the Guildmaster's on this. I usually stuff that armor in a chest. LOL

    I can't seem to find my ban hammer. It's been a long time since I used it. *sigh* I know I put it here somewhere...

    Seriously? Do we need to tell people again about how to give constructive criticism?

    hoboy...cmon people. we can do better. Pleae read Lissette's comments for an example on how to be constructive without being a hollow donkey. 

    You don't have to like everything everyone posts. But you do have to be positive, constructive and helpful. Adding 2 "no offence" qualifiers doens't cut it.

    I'm liking the build Delta! It does feel a bit short though. To be fair quality over quantity is always a good thing, but I just ended up at the end wanting to read more!

    I think going more in depth with justification of skills and equipment would go a long way. Why an axe over a sword or mace? Why no headgear? It may be obvious for someone whos seen the inspiration material, but for the uninformed it seems like an oversight. It doesn't even have to be long, a paragraph would be ideal but a bit of a stretch unless there's loads that inspired the decision, but even a sentence or two would help massivley.

    Now onto the territory I'm most comfortable with: Roleplay. Where is it dude?! Your profile is great, an example to all potential creators on how to make one, but I'm barely seeing any cross over of information here. Where did you store all the gold and valuables you pilfered? Is marriage in the characters future? Whats the line the character walks that makes them who they are, and how did you get into it as a player?

    Then there's combat. How did you deal with mages? Dragons? Those bloody Overlords that love to oneshot me? A Graverobber should be prepared for any enemy, so show the reader how prepared you are!

    Its a brilliant start my man, and I love the backstory (which I've waited far too long for :P), but with these little improvements this build would be even better.

    I will improve the build further. To be honest, I feel like I've let myself down a bit. Also, dragons didn't show up in my game, cause I didn't touch the main quest. Tis a non dragonborn build.

    What's wrong with what I said? It was an honest to gooodness observation not meant to be offensive in the slightest. If you're just going to threaten anyone whose comments fall short of complete adulation, than don't expect anyone to get any good at character building.

    Sigh... This situation right here is exactly why I prefer lurking....
