    Heya, IMO, backstory is as important if not more so than actual mechanics; your backstory dictates how the character behaves, how they fight, what is their motivation. Builds that go from the ground up with that foundation tend to flourish whereas the typical "I wanna do this trick alot" build with a malnourished helping of backstory and RP are obviously shoddy and/ or just thrown together builds. So long story short, keep writing back stories how you want man, because it is a very important part to builds themselves. (Yes I am aware of the irony of this paragraph).

    Excellent Ninja build. Alot of time and effort went into this it deserves to be recognized in everyway. Beautiful story and presentation!

    When fighting the Thalmor though, make sure this character has a high magic resistance. Elemental Protection Perk would fix this potential weakness. Those wizards can pack a punch on higher levels. Congrats on releasing another successful build. You broke both legs on this one. I think this is the best one, I've seen from you yet.

    Thanks Ry! The only times we encountered major difficulties was when fighting frost mages.In those cases we used some good ol' sneak archery or just archery coupled wirh zig-zag movement. However, against the rest of the magi, we used constant sword bashes to interrupt their spell casting. In the video you can see me doing this against the last Thalmor. I didn't give him any chance of casting spells.

    Thanks guys! If I ever start character building in fallout 4 I know who to contact for help. I doubt it though because the only way I'm enjoying the game is by cheating... The game doesn't give me enough stimpacks and bullets for my preffered weapon so I have to use the console. Still, I liked the way you find the railroad and Piper's gestures when you first meet her.

    I guess you're better than me at ducking bullets.

    This is an awesome build! I would like it again if I could. At what level did you have all of the required gear? Also is there a quest order you would recommend?

    Thanks!  I got all the gear at level 20. I started out by joining the Companions, roleplaying as a bounty hunter, all while gathering a part of the stones of Barenziah. Once I got the Wolf gear, I killed Fultheim for his katana and completed enough of the Main Quest to get me in Delphine's secret room in Riverwood where I got the other katana. At levels 10-12 I hitched a ride to Solstheim and did all the quests to get my hands on Morag Tong gear. Killing ash spawns and Falx Carius so early was tough. I had to use sneak archery (without a dog) then exit and re-enter the fort to re-sneak. Still, I survived. Joining the Dawnguard and Dark Brotherhood, I had all the gear, besides the Ebony Blade, at levels 15-16.

    Isn't this a visual treat? Epic presentation is epic, well done guys. Nice use of The Atronach Forge and Prowler's Profit, that's pretty clever.
