We've had three contests so far on the site, with more planned for the near future. A point of discussion that's come up in various channels since before the first contest even began was how builds should be scored. The current rubric, for reference,

And we’re back.
One of my favorite items in TES IV: Oblivion was a unique staff that could be purchased from a shopkeeper in the Imperial City. It dealt 33 points of damage from each of the three major elements, and while it was a bit pricey for
Read more…Disclaimer: This build is intended to be played with a small suite of essential gameplay enhancing mods. Most of these are available on PC (both LE and SE) as well as XBox 1 - sorry, PS4 and legacy console players. These mods allow for vastly more in

To set a universal consistent mod list that I can recommend to readers of my builds, as well as to current and prospective builders moving forward — a list de
Read more…The Internet has seen some attempts at making unarmed combat viable, and a few have even found success. This, however, was the first build out there (to my knowledge - originally posted several years ago) to do so without the aid of looping and/or st

This was my first coll

Read more…The Revakriid (from the dragon words revak, meaning "sacred," and kriid, meaning "slayer") is a hunter and vanquisher of dragons and dragon priests. For every draconic foe he slays, his own power grows. He uses Alchemy and Enchanting, in conjunction
Read more…This is an old build from 2012, though overhauled dramatically in 2015. I thought the original was broken, though I've since learned it was not -- however, I still think the overhaul is a massive improvement. This character is immensely satisfying an
