    I love the additions that you have made .  Videos of this build in action make it even better than it was before, as does the section on the character's alignment.

    Would this character join the vampires? Also what's the best way to force the unbound dremora to do what you say?

    Vampirisim is a natural fit because it's a product of the Daedra. Personally though, I dislike being a vampire.

    My roleplay also shifted once I got to higher levels. I went from being a blind worshiper to actually trying to become Daedra myself (by collecting power and souls). I stopped seeing myself as a pawn of the Daedra, thus I didn't want to be a slave to the vampirism curse.

    As for the Unbound Dremora, you encounter him in the Conjuration Ritual Spell quest. You need to kill him three times in order to get the stone. This can be done with the bound bow just like any other enemy OR by shooting him off the tower with Unrelenting Force (lol).  

    Hope that helps

    This is easily one of my favorite builds, simply because it allows you to do most everything in the game.

    Though, on the subject of roleplay... I cannot for the life of me come up with a beginning for my playthrough with this build. I play on console, so I'm limited with what I can do, beyond imagination, and it's pretty tough to pretend Helgen didn't just happen in front of my eyes. So, I was wondering, how did you go about starting out? What sequence of events occurred at the beginning of your roleplay?

    There's a few good ways to start off, the first one was my personal roleplay:

    1. You were raised as a Forsworn (Breton daedra worshiper), but were captured by the Imperial army in the Reach when your band of natives picked the wrong convoy to attack. During the battle you took a massive blow to the head and were knocked out immediately. While dazed, you had dark visions of the Daedric Princes. The visions were blurry and difficult to comprehend, but you remember them claiming that you are to be their champion against the end times... whatever that means. You awake, dazed, in a prisoner transport cart with three rough looking Nords. 
    2. Growing up in (High Rock, Cyrodiil, wherever) you've always had an interest in the daedra.You spent long nights studying their origins and their encounters with mortals, but unlike most, you couldn't pick a favorite prince to worship. This simple life lasted until a stranger, cloaked in black, approached you in a tavern. He placed his hand on your shoulder and your vision dimmed. In this trance you saw the glorious forms of all the Daedric Princes surrounding you. One by one they spoke, ordering you to travel north to Skyrim. They claimed that they would bestow you with unimaginable power so that you may face the end times. Unfortunately, you were captured by the Imperial Army on your way into Skyrim. It seemed your adventure was over before it even began...
    3. You're a product of the daedra, summoned to this world as their weapon against Alduin. Part daedra part dragon and part mortal, you are their custom crafted agent. During the summoning process, the Daedric lords combined your essence with a dragons soul, but required a host. They picked a Breton woman who had already pledged her soul to Clavicus Vile. This woman had found herself bound and unconscious in a prisoner's cart in Skyrim for some petty crime. Vile casually claimed her soul by ripping from her body while the other princes replaced it with you. You awoke moments later in your new body. This human form was going to take some getting used to, but you could feel the power coursing through your veins. 

    Hope that helps

    Wow I like those back stories for the character I myself have issues thinking of back stories for my Skyrim characters. I am also limited like Derek only having Skyrim for the console so I always feel somewhat disappointed with my different warriors or mages when I begin to see the different quests they have to do but no true drive of what I want the different characters to become and I slowly push them off to the side and begin making new characters in hopes of coming across something I feel happy about.

    I noticed someone else had asked about heavy armor for this build and it was a question I also had. I notice you said to work your way up to ebony then get the daedric armor from the one forge, is that armor better from what you can forge yourself? I like the idea regardless though it fits the theme of this build.

    I noticed some discussion of the spell absorption being an issue and was wondering if someone could shed some light on it. If I am understanding it right If I have the atronach stone or use my dragonskin ability as a breton, there is the chance my spells will be absorbed without actually being "cast" at the enemy or if its like heal being used on myself? As I said I use the console so would there be any way around that aside from not taking the atronach stone? lol.

    +1 on the sheer awesomeness of the build can't wait to start playing it.

    I went back and reread the posts about the atronach stone and the comments about using the lord stone so I apologize not having seen that my question had already been answered before I had even asked it.

    Thanks for interest and questions!

    Daedric armor from the atronach forge is the same as Daedric armor from smithing. The advantage of smithing is that you can upgrade the armor more with a workbench, but the downside is that you'd have to grind smithing. This is why I chose to just put the Daedric armor on a manequin and wear light armor instead.

    Spell absorption sucks up spells that target you, so it has a nasty habit of absorbing summoned creatures when you need them the most. This is remedied with the Unofficial Skyrim Patch only available on PC. This means that the Atronach stone is probably not a good pick on console.
