This sentence, "The Tinkerer discovered a strange glowing crystal throughout his travels - Aetherium - and through a combination of hard work and skill, managed to createa staff to harness its power.", needs a space between "create" and "a staff", that's just a little typo, though.

I really like this build. I've never seen a dwemer sneak build, let alone a spider one. I was thinking that it would be cool to match a dwarven spider follower with the spiders, rather than the sphere, but I digress. The pictures are great as well.

I have been waiting for a build like this for a very long time. Thank you very much I cant wait to play this.

+1

I was thinking of using the Spider follower but he simply isn't viable at high levels, mine died during the second of the Kagrumez Trials (thankfully I got the Sphere right after!) and the sphere is just so much more effective and still fits with the theme - it's all about the technology, not necessarily spiders!

Also, hooray for crowdsourced spellchecking 

FYI a new spider or sphere will be rebuilt and emerge from the pipe where you found them a day or so after they die. The companion's insight passive effect from the winds of change black book will nonetheless help prevent your bolts and exploding bolts from hurting your sphere and humanoid followers.

I really like this, but when I think of a Tinkerer, I think of a lightly-armored Engineer. Just a small personal change, bug I like it!

I'll second Mason.  Really awesome theme, great support from gameplay, perk selection, etc.  But like Mason, I don't have the Dragonborn DLC, so I don't exactly understand some of the specific pieces of the puzzle.  I've been thinking about picking up the new DLC and getting back into Skyrim.  If I do, this will be at the top of my list of builds to try.  Well done Ponty, as usual.

Really like it!

What type duplication glitch is viable to create more Albino Spider Pods?

Duplication methods found here; http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/group/glitches/forum/topics/the-definitive-treatise-on-item-duplication

Try the third one, it should work and can be done for multiple pods at once.

You can use the first method on Merilar Rendas to cook up a bunch of flame spiders initially. I haven't tested this on her, but, hypothetically speaking, the ritual stone should work.

Thank you, kind sir.
