Hey David, Thanks for the support!

I know... It's like one of those little quirks that make this fella unique eh? Sad for the wife though... Ah well, guess it's the norm for cranky old mages eh?

Why there isn't sneak in perk spread!

@anderson: good question! The thing about vampirism in skyrim is that it comes with certain "benefits" including a passive boots to sneak by 25%. What this means is that aside from your clothes not making any noise when sneaking and the muffle spell which provides a 0.5. Muffle effect, you're already 25% harder to detect. Also, the stealth perk is kinda bugged... Anything above the value of 5/5 sneak (50% harder to detect) will actually cause you to be detected easier. So given the reasons above, I figured out that 2/5 sneak (25% harder to detect). Would be more than enough for this build. Hope this helps understand the rationale behind the decision.

Right, I totally agree. I was not considering this. Thanks for reply

Hi Dabberaxe,

Thanks for the like mate! I do realize that some of my later builds may be a tad long, but such is the price for attention to detail i suppose... I'll try to shorten further one's where i can in future :)

Why thank you ! I hope this and all my past builds have been able to whet your appetite for keeping the passion for playing skyrim alive

Indeed may be RIP... sad enough, he did remind me a little of my now dead grand dad... cranky, irate but always with a sense of sacarstic humor... though, i don't think he ever killed anyone over the temperature of water... 

Thank you! Trust me, if you start the DB questline and always seek advise or just engage in conversation with festus, you'd get a kick out of him.... 

In fact, the only questline that i find repeatable and enjoyable every single time is the DB questline due to that old man.

Sure thing! The whole idea behind this build is creativity as well as stealth, so if you feel reliance on destruction spells begin to sour at some point, sub it with another skill like conjuration or even perk up illusion for usage.

Given this build stops around level 40, you can afford to even invest in alteration, if you choose not to take vampirism, with th detect life and detect dead spell providing a sort of "sonar"effect.
