    Again this isn't just "What Ben says is law". There's a like button so that people can press it if they desire. If the mods don't want people liking things then why don't they just disable the feature? It's the users' right to like something if they desire to do so.

    On the topic of my Daedric armor comment it was meant to state EXACTLY what you are stating. I wasn't saying that everyone should use Daedric because it's best, I was saying the exact opposite. Ben said that he can't see the logic behind having 100% shout reduction without using it. I'm saying that the same thing could be applied to someone who refuses to use Daedric despite having access to it. Just because you can shout something apart with this build doesn't mean you have to.

    yeah agree with most of this but I still think the pictures shouldn't have been deleted. I get people not liking it out of personal preference, just not sure why they needed to be deleted. We can have bad fan art of nearly naked female characters and people being decapitated but the "dear lord in heaven I saw that animated man's bottom kill it with cyber fire" response from Ben and some others in the group is ridiculous.

    Runes? Wabbajack? Perfectly fine even without shouts. And with shouts it's even easier.

    And I agree that the backstory doesn't really fit with skill choices. But what of it? It's RP not the gameplay. We all know that both are integral parts of any character build, but there are a ton of builds with non-working roleplay ideas and non-fitting skills in Recognized section. Why should this one be looked at differently?

    The creator of the build doesn't seem to intend for you to use the unlimited shouting in the way you've described hence it is the same as using Daedric because you have it in your inventory even though the build you're playing doesn't call for it.

    I'll agree that the use of the 100% shouting doesn't really add much, and without it the build is still pretty viable. However, if the creator didn't intend for you to use it that way then you shouldn't use it that way. Again it's just like the Daedric argument. If I'm playing a warrior build that focuses on heavy armor, but the build creator states that the armor to use is steel then I'm gonna use steel, even though Daedric would be more powerful and available in-game.

    Does every character absolutely have to have a super in-depth backstory? If this same build was presented but with a more fleshed out backstory and darker tones I guarantee half the people blasting it wouldn't have thought twice.

    I didn't see the pic so I don't know how bad it was. However, it doesn't sound like it was particularly needed so I don't have an issue with it being deleted.

    I do agree with you on the double standard though, but this is the internet man. Boobs=OK but male nudity is bad. This is just a fact of the internet... or our world as a whole.

    Either way the picture was causing more controversy to an already controversial subject so it's probably for the best.

    Ben, I've done it, killing dragons with runes. It's perfectly fine to use, especially with Fortify Destruction potions and Dual Casting. Henson's Cabalist uses them a lot with Conjuration, but do you think Flame Atronach provides more damage than runes? Runes are powerful. And besides, the guy has OP 100% cooldown. He can destroy dragons with Slow Time and a ton of Fire/Frost Breaths if he wishes

    It was just a nude male character laying into a field of cabbages. It did make me giggle, I'm not ashamed to admit that, but it defiantly wasn't needed.

    In your RP do your characters always accomplish the tasks they set out to do? Is it really that difficult to imagine a mentally unhinged character attempting a task in an incredibly round about or damn near impossible way?

    I feel like liking this build is a naughty thing to do, and I'm really hoping for some good stuff from Father Christmas this year. Sorry bro, no like until after Christmas :(
