I don't want to be very combat heavy.I would like to use spells as a utility to go somewhere stealthly get/kill what/who i want and get out without alerting a lot of people. The focus should be at stealth and spells. Thank you all very much!

    Well, I got a rather quirky build for you. She is a stealth Illusionist based of the Lusty Argonian maid. One of my builds that resulted in the least amount of kills by the end of the game and those were pretty much in the early game. If you like adventuring, staves, bad sex jokes, and Argonians. This is the build for you. :D

    The Crepuscular by Vlad B sounds about right

    I'm looking for a build that uses both the Ebony Blade and Ebony Mail. No other requirements.

    I am one of those people that constantly restarts the game and cant stick with a charachter long enough to beat the game. My longest playthrough was level 28.

    so I want to make a charcahter and actually play through the whole game with it. so im looking for builds to help inspire me. Id want to use illusion and conjuration. id also want the charachter able to be stealthy but without being a devoted stealth charachter like an assasin. Also a dark asthetic would be nice but it dosnt have to be a villain if you get what i mean. Also the only crafting skill i really like using and leveling  is enchanting.

    A few years back I did an event build called The Dark Purveyor that fits the skillset and playstyle. It used some glitches in order to use telekinesis as a main offensive weapon, as well as unlimited shouts. If those kinds of things aren't your cup of tea, the build can easily be adapted to play without them. It might, at least, make a good starting point. 

    Normally I'd throw a couple other ideas out there as well, but it's been a looong day, and I can't think of anything else... maybe I'll come up with something else tomorrow ;D

    Hey! Sorry to be a bother. I came across this build a little while ago that I loved. I saved it but now I cant seem to find it. I was wondering if you were able to maybe help pinpoint this and maybe direct me somewhere or if you know the build tell me the name. Basically the build consisted of: Elven Race (I believe Altmer, but not entirely sure), Used 100% spell absorption glitch, screenshots showed character wearing Blue Dunmer outfit while battling a dragon, used bound swords and I think bound bow, Fireball, flesh spells, Unarmoured, and had a video clip at the end of the build. Sorry for the hassle, but I appreciate any and all help! Thank you!! -Luke:)

    Found it! That would be The Sapiarch by Teccam.

     

    Oh my! Thank you so, so much! I dont know why I was looking for something that started with 'T' but now that you reminded me I realize it wasnt now lol. I cant express how thankful I am!

    Hi all!

    It's time to get back to the land of Skyrim, and I'm trying to figure out which build wouldn't bore me after 10-15 levels.

    I've started the game many times, but I've finished it with two builds only (both I love): paladin (heavy armor, 1h, restoration) and bound swordsman (conjuration, 1h, various spells from different schools).  The problem is I've tried sneaking - boring. I rearly play pure magic in any RPGs - nothing beats swinging heavy piece of metal. 

    I'm looking for a build that would mix some fun skills, no sneaking, but most importantly that would offer a long lasting, roleplay experience. Not something that would end with gathering the right equipment. Thanks in advance!

    I'm thinking The Huntress or The Kynaran Ranger by Noodles might be the thing for you. They're similar to your previous builds in that they uses weapons and magic, but with archery as an added twist, and the roleplay potential is great. Or you might like The Knights of Iron by Shinjin and Lozhar, a great build that manages to make 3 crafting skills not only work, but excel, and there's loads of roleplay there as well!

    For a paladin playstyle, check out Ponty's Paladin build. It's a classic and you can easily alter the playstyle/roleplay to your liking. As for the bound swordsman playstyle, another one of Ponty's build, The Arcane Bladesman fits that description perfectly.
