    Tell me about it! I made one of those and I can't even settle on a build to play myself! It's gotten so bad I don't even play any more, I just travel around piecing together gear combos for inspiration on what build to play like some skyrim fashionista lol.

    Ha!  You've surpassed me in bounties then!  My Vargr is actually fairly tame in comparison - a piddling 40 bounty in Falkreath, and 1000 in the Rift.  

    Just for reference, though, apparently you will NOT randomly transform while inside a town or dungeon.  (This is according to the Prima strategy guide, so take it with a grain of salt, but it matches my own experience.)  

    However, I'm not sure what is meant by "in a town" - I'm pretty sure you wouldn't shift while in Whiterun, for example, but how does the game know exactly when you are "in" Falkreath?  Or Rorikstead?  Regardless, I've never shifted in any of those places.  My 1000 bounty in the Rift came from walking by that farm South of Riften and shifting right in front of those guards and farmers, though, so there's still plenty of opportunity to shift when you least expect it!

    Thanks, snakes!  Yeah, if you plan on taking the Pit Fighter much past lvl 30 I daresay you'd need some serious damage increase to keep up - that or just switch to weapons, which of course misses the point.

    Well my first build here was the Pit Fighter (check under the Unarmed tag), but that's the only one you're missing.  Of course I've made dozens of characters since Skyrim's release, but the vast majority of those don't really warrant their own build presentation.  I do tend to gravitate toward simple characters, especially if they have a very focused skill set, so the only way my characters could become 'buildworthy' in my eyes is if they have some interesting roleplay attitude (the Swordthane) and/or some device I haven't seen used yet (the Vargr's use of Cursed Ring).  Since everyone here has thought of most everything there is to do in Skyrim, all I can do is come up with some RP twist. 

    Thanks for those kind words, Zach.

    Hey Paul, you might want to tag this with new rank tags according to New Rank Tag System

    Right, thanks for the heads-up.  Done!

    Started playing this, having a blast already! I rarely play two handers, and when I do they're decked out in full heavy armour. Only wearing rags, gauntlets and boots is great. I've found an awesome combo, been using Ragged Robes, Fur Gauntlets and Fur Boots, looking like a perfect outcast. I've said it once and I'll say it again, this build is amazing!

    It makes this young wolf very happy to see more of his brothers incorporated into builds! To quote Julius Cesar, "Let slip the dogs of war". I'm playing this build right now and am thoroughly enjoying it. +1 from me two-legs, for a darn good build!

    Ah the Pit Fighter, I forgot that one was by you!

    I know there is a way to get the hircine's ring and Savior's hide armor... Follow these steps.

    1. Accept Hircine's quest

    2. Help the werewolf kill the hunters.

    3. After "Completing the quest" kill the werewolf, and tear his hide from his body. He runs ALOT.

    4. They will say ring of Hircine removed but upon leaving you'll be greeted by Hircine.
