  • June 7, 2014

    Eric was right,I find the two builds similar.

    I wouldn't dare call this build garbage.

    Awesome build. I was planning something similar focusing on absorbing magic, but this is way cool

    Now that I'm thinking of it, powering the Atronach Stone to have complete magical immunity, while sticking the Serpent in the Crown would be very useful... Maybe I should add that in.

    Man... I admit to only having glanced at this over prior months. This is really well done. I love the RP here. Especially how the questing is setup. 

    "Under Master Neloth, he learned to be a wizard. In the College, he learned to be a leader. In the Dawnguard, though, the Squib becomes a hero and uses all he learned to actually be considered a worthy hero of Skyrim..."

    "Though content with his history books in his homeland, the Squib now has the opportunity to see real-life Dwemer ruins and ancient Nordic burial sites. Think of him as an amateur archaeologist. He documents everything and wants to learn all about the ancient peoples, through books, the carvings in their tombs, and what they’ve left behind"

    The focus on ancient knowledge based quests, the fact that you make a fully capable character with a distinct story-arc, and avoid being dragonborn; this is a really well done scholar build. Its epic because it isn't shoehorned into becoming epic by shouts or melee proficiency etc. The Squib becomes epic on his own! Thanks for the recommendation, I think this probably about as close as the blog has to what I was looking for (currently at least,  >:D)

    I think this build is missing its hall of fame tag. It was in the hybrid hall of fame wasn't it?
