Baan Dar, The Legend...Thief, Warlock, Shadowmaster, Ruthless Assassin, Undying Avenger, Dark God, Robber Baron, Mastermind of Nefarious Plots. All these things and more are the Legendary Baan Dar, he who is called The Bandit God; but what is the Tru
Read more…The Vraseth Vampire
The Vraseth are a vampire bloodline gifted with nimbleness. This can be reflected ingame by what is perhaps my favorite glitch in the game, the Quick Reflexes + Slow Time combo, or what I like to call Extended Slow Time. By using

When true cats die, their souls are lifted by Khenarthi and flown to the Sands Behind the Stars, to play and prey until the Next Pounce. When bent cats die, their souls are dragged down by Namiira into
Read more…The Titan
Quick, think of the worst weapon in the game. Did you come up with the Rueful Axe? I certainly did. Seriously, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of this weapon. Pros: its base damage is good (same amount as the Glass Battleaxe), it’s
Read more…Their organization has no name. All that is known about them is that they split off from the Vigil of Stendarr in the early Fourth Era due to their heretical method used to combat daedra, vampires, and other abominations. Said method was to infuse a
Read more…The Spellfork
There have been a few builds made for Skyrim that have utilized a set of self-enchanted weapons solely for their enchanting effects. This build is in the same vein as them, but notably differs in using what I believe to be the ultimate
Read more…The Regenerator
The trend in character builds nowadays is towards complexity. Be it through in-depth gameplay mechanics or intricate roleplay, builds have become increasingly multifaceted. Not so with this character, however. This is a build that is

Read more…The Selenu Vampire
The old “insert a TES vampire clan into Skyrim” is a concept that's been done in a variety of builds, and this build does the exact same thing with Selenu. So why didn't I go with a more original idea? It has to do with the signat
Read more…The Alik'r Warrior
I've seen a few different Alik'r builds on the internet, but most of them, my own Desert Spellsword included, seem to rely a good bit on magic. Conversely, the Alik’r seen ingame don’t use magic at all in combat (though you get to

When someone brings up the subject of poison in Skyrim, they’re usually talking about the harmful concoctions that you can make via Alchemy. The reality is, however, that there is a wide variety of options for poison damage in Skyrim. T

“Some can't separate the animal from themselves. Go feral.” – Offhand comment by Aela that inspired this build.
Recall the first time you become a werewolf during the Companions questline, where you are thrown out onto the streets of W
Read more…The Heister
I first got the idea for this build when I was watching the remake of “The Italian Job.” I wanted to create a build where every trek into a dungeon felt like a grand heist, sneaking past your opponents to get the treasure at the end; the

Plenty of builds utilize daggers, but almost all the ones that do either use them for sneak attacks with Assassin’s Blade or dual-wield them. The Dagger Duelist does neither, opting for skillful usage of a single dagger in melee c

The Vigilant of Stendarr
It’s no secret that the Vigil of Stendarr is an incredibly incompetent faction. Vigilant Tyranus gets killed during House of Horrors, Vigilant Tolan gets killed

The Order of Diagna is one of the many knightly orders in the Hammerfell area, and was chiefly involved in the invasion of Orsinium, which lasted for thirty years. The leader of the order, Gaiden Shinji, was killed during the si

This build came about as the result of two observations. One, there’s a lack of builds that have you roleplay a champion of the Azura/Boethiah/Mephala Tribunal (also known as the Reclamations), and two, I haven’t pla
