    Thanks buddy. Yeah, that potion is absolutely wonderful to mess around with. My next build is going to use it as well, this time under a more lore-friendly role: The key element for an Ansei to summon his Shehai (Spirit Blade). I mentioned the Shehai in this build, and Matt noted that it practically begs for a proper Ansei build, so I couldn't resist!

    Gave this guy an update to coincide with the first Golden Dragons. Specifically, revised the body text, including rewriting a couple of paragraphs and cutting some unnecessary bits. Redid most of the images, including the equipment and perk selection. Tweaked the formatting throughout the build to be more up to date with the style of my other builds. Pretty happy with how it turned out. :)

    I'd still like to work on creating a bit more of a roleplaying link to the Montalions. It's hard because of how little we know about them, and I already incorporated everything we do know into the gameplay where possible. So any roleplaying would run the risk of entering "generic vampire" territory.

    Thanks Phil. Personally, this is one of my favorite builds I've written. Maybe even the most favorite. Had so much fun playing it and putting it together. It's funny that it's my least popular (not counting the Undying, which was broken by a patch within about two weeks of when I posted it, and has since been abandoned).

    That doesn't make any sense. It's steeped in lore which is always cool to see as it give the reader something to delve into and is wickedly powerful with exciting gameplay! What's not to love? It's only a pity it took me so long to see it.

    Could I get a look at what the character will look like in his full  gear?

    I'm not sure if I still have my old save file for this guy on my hard drive. I'll check ASAP though. The pic won't be great quality unfortunately, since it will be taken from my phone on my TV screen. Maybe a PC player could take a minute to set up a screenshot, if someone happens to read this.

    In the meantime, here's a picture of a very similar gear selection on a Nord, the "Telvanni Traveler" look by Ponty, taken from NOACC. It looks better on a Dunmer, FWIW... (Click to embiggen.)

    The answer to that is complicated. Was embiggen a real words 20 years ago? No. But I think it's arguable that it is now. A lot of people use it. Not sure about cromulent though, haha.

    I assume you just used the illusion skills for whatever. None of the paths touch on it.
