    I want to know if anyone has made a follower/worshipper/devotee of Sanguine build of any kind, one where you just ruin everyone else's day with your debauchery. The Sanguine Rose is a must have, of course.

    I also would like to see a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Build, recreating Jonathan Joestar.

    I've been toying with a Johnathan build, andd there's a DIO build

    I've been trying to find a build that I can really stick with to play through the bulk of the game, a "Main Profile/Character" so to speak.

     

    I'm looking for something high quality that stays engaging from level 1 right through the end game.  Unique Gameplay Mechanics are a bonus. And while I'm not opposed to any stealth whatsoever I'm not sure if I'm feeling a stealth build (But maybe the right one if something specific comes to your guys mind). I find sometimes I will have gotten tired of a build before I've even gotten something the build calls for because there's something integral to the build endgame of one of the major questlines (I don't mind this, but in cases like this it's good for their to be a plan given about how to go about getting that part of the build).

    This build was something very special to me. I'm not sure if the mechanics are something unique, but I use a race in an unexpcted way. He has a story to tell and the best way to tell his story is to play it. Any gear that he acquires is directly related to the story of his playthrough.

    That sounds like a really beatiful build! I just wish I was on PC so I could get that mod that expands the companions questline :/

    That mod isn't necessary to play the build. I've actually considered rerunning him on Vanilla, I enjoyed him so much. What I did to stretch the companions out was to not advance the questline until I had done all the bounty quests and side quests for a particular hold.

    Sounds like you need some Alastor in your life. His Transient Sorcerer takes Novice spells and turns them into Nukes, making an incredibly unique experience which offers high-risk high-reward gameplay, as well as loads of roleplay potential. Zurin Arctus, Imperial Battlemage is basically the epitome of badass, with explosions and crushing skills and is as a whole very well put together (also one of if not the only build with a comma in the title I think). The Vancian Wizard takes a magic system from another fantasy universe and bungs it in Skyrim, and it does so fantastically. You can only cast on 'spell' (which are more like special moves) per day, which means if you like tactically planning situations you're set. And the best bit? They can all be played super early on!

    But of course check out Liss' build as well, as its a bloody corker.

    I have played DIO on PC with mods; came out pretty good, just kinda stopped time and threw knives at everything.

    I tried a Jonathan build with mods, but it didn't do too well. Is your JoJo on the workshop or anything? I am interested in that. (I play on Xbox 360 btw)

    (Jonathan best JoJo 2018)

    I'm looking at the Transient Sorcerer, and I really like the idea. I was going to do a difficulty scaling Imperial "semi-paladin" by using mainly One-handed and Illusion at the start, and late-game (on Legendary, at that point) having a Dark Brotherhood Initiate and probably Kharjo and mainly becoming a supportive type character spamming Heal Other and Courage on them all the time.
