Holy crap. Sorry it took me so long to like this. This is epic and an incredible use of the new DB content. Those spiders are so much fun to play with.

The second to last pic is absolutely badass. Action movie shot! Big +1.

Dang, another reason to buy all the DLCs. :-/ Thanks, Ponty.

Does winds of change companions insight stop you from triggering oil atomic bombs? 

Scholar, master of items both magical and mundane, and skilled warrior, the Tinkerer delves deep into ancient... 

I think scholars insight would fit way better than companions. But since he/she is commands a small army it would work too. I just think for RP scholars insight would fit better. Plus its very useful!!! 

I am playing this character it its fun personified! 

level 13 

(What race did you pick?) 

190 health I 120 stamina 

Race: Redguard

• Archery 59 (overdraw 3, up to power shot) 
• Lockpicking 18 (Novice locks) 
• Heavy armor 17 (Juggernaut 1) 
• Speech 23 (Haggling 1) 
• Sneak 27 (Stealth 1) 
• Smithing 33 (Dwarven) 

He's really fun to play yet I am having troubles with method 3 of the duplication glitch, leveling Lockpicking and heavy armor. Currently I am on the shock bolts ancient knowledge quest. Will pop over to solstheim and grab the spiders once Ancient knowledge is finished. 

i'd give a plus 10 but I can't. Plus 1 will suffice! 

Spiders!!! +1

I rarely used the exploding bolts, though I'd say your bomb spiders would still work - if you watch how I did it I blow up the oil on the ground which then kills the spider.

Interesting use of the spiders, and I like it as a combination effect with Archery. I might have to give that spider machine another chance...

there are limited spiders but you can just use the follower duplication glitch.

step1. give the follower a lot of heavy items until they cant even carry a gem anymore.

step2. drop the albino spider pods. ( one by one, because if you drop them all at once you will only get 1 spider pod)

step3. let the follower pick up the individual spider pods.

step4. go into a building.

step5. exit the building and you will see the spider pods laying on the ground./ (save before you do step 1)

if it didn't work go to youtube for a video about it.

Amazing build! I love the steampunk feel of it, and using the spider scrolls and Dwarven sphere/spider followers.

Looks like a pretty fun time.  Will have to try this one out soon.  Going to add my +1 just for looking awesome and having exploding spiders.
