I feel like some minor changes to aesthetic and role-playing could turn this character into the ultimate Forsworn build. As Hircine worshippers and magically gifted warriors with a particular fondness for bows, it only seems fitting. You could also swap to light armor, using a combination of Savior’s Hide and the Armor of the Old Gods, the Galdur Amulet, and the Ring of Hircine to create an awesome aesthetic and completely remove the need for any crafting. Definitely inspired me to give this idea a try!
Khajiit enjoys going back and watching these builds! It is fascinating to see how you guys evolved and how intricate your build became! This one still stumbles upon build videos he has not seen!
You guys should show how you build the guy in the beginning, then showing how the person would actually escape Helgen, then show them doing a quest that they would probably do (all while you’re explaining them)
Please stop. I keep restarting my characters because your new builds always rub my jives in that certain way. I need to finish at least one of the factions... Please
I feel your pain, Got eight different characters but i would definetly use the cheat room but with the exp crab kill it with the sword once and it should level up to 15. I also use the extra perk mod too but thats just me
You could also incorporate the muffle spell from the illusion school until you get a pair of muffled boots to disenchant. It can also help level illusion high enough to get the quiet casting perk...
Just over 12 minutes into the video being out there - and the positive support is amazing, you should be proud FM, what you create is brilliant. That's all from me: Apoc out.
@@takundachokururama6750 Some words of that ilk are used in other ways too, such as Grazing being used to mean eating in a manner typical of grazing beasts, but not consuming the same comestibles. Stalking silently through a large amount of food, and occasionally stooping low for a bite.
For anyone hoping to get a build like this off the ground early, if you keep the novice mage's hood from escaping helgen, activate the shrine of Julianos at Fort Amol, and put 10 points into Magicka from your first level up, you should have enough magicka to cast Bound Bow. If this doesn't work there is a Draught of Extra Magicka in the prison where you find the tome, which will put you over the edge for at least one cast. I suggest using it to take down the dragon at the watch down since it does crazy damage early game. Hope this helps :D I love the build Fudgemuppet came up with and this trick helped me get into the roleplaying REALLY early! PS the mages at Fort Amol are pretty though at level 2-3 but as a Breton make sure to use dragon skin and you should be totally fine :)
Personally, I find that if you use alteration instead of light armor with this build, you can forgo having to put any points into smithing at all. It's also easier to be sneaky with clothing on than wearing armor, and you can carry more potions with you for poisoning things and such.
especially if they used the backstory as seen in the mod Winterhold Improvements when you become the archmage and read the note on the bed in the Archmage's room...Savos as a former Psijic Monk is just lit....
that doesn't stop people from making lore about Savos having connections with them...why the hell did they suddenly come out of hiding in their floating isle and drop down to a frozen backward town almost swallowed by the sea? because an immensely powerful artifact happens to be activated by someone with dragon blood? I also don't see the dragonborn's connection with Sotha Sil...
last time I heard the original poster was just making a suggestion...this isn't a contest on what elder scrolls game is "the best" or what elder scroll game you should play to become "hardcore" or "professional"...lul...wow...some people...
Is it viable at higher levels? I just started a playthrough with the bound bow, I was curious because I heared some people say that, I mean if I use poisons it should be fine right?
@@Yuki_Ika7 If I'm not mistaken, the Bound Bow stats are similar to a standard Daedric Bow, and actually surpass it in base damage with the perk that improves bound weapon damage. I would say it's incredibly viable up until you're able to get your hands on a Daedric Bow yourself (and even then, the arrows you fire with bound Bow are Daedric Arrows, so you do even more damage). My current character has Bound Bow as his weapon of choice and I find it to be really good even at level 50 on Legendary difficulty.
@@Yuki_Ika7 you can be level 81 and still have a bound bow that affects all enemies moderately well, provided you're playing adept difficulty since that's the fairest setting in the game. And of course, you want to get all the perks of the archery tree. If you play higher difficulties, you can just get a few enchanted items that fortify archery to increase the damage. For clarification: the bound bow at max damage with no enchantments is 96, thats combined with mystic arrows or daedric arrows since they have the same damage, as well as the archery perk at 100% and the mystic binding perk from conjuration. Dragon arrows would only increase the damage of the bound bow by 1. If you have smithing at 100, get the perks for the respective sets, and then fortify a daedric bow, with daedric arrows, the damage is 111. A dragon bow would be 115 if you combine it with dragon arrows. The Daedric bow damage at legendary with no arrows is 87, while the dragon bow is 90. So you can see, the bound bow is not far behind. Yes you can use fortify potions or enchanted smithing items, or both obviously, to increase those weapons even higher, but I found that with four items that fortify archery, your bound bow can reach 240 damage. Even more if you use the necromage perk and decide to go crazy with enchanting elixers. Smithing wouldn't be necessary unless you specifically want to use those bows or need to upgrade a follower. I know it's a late response, but hopefully it helps anyone here.
Bound anything is a crazy ability. You're never unarmed and as long as you have high magic reserves, you're golden. Only downside is that summoning it is not exactly quiet.
*Late to the party here, but in case anyone else sees this comment - there is a perk in the illusion tree called Quiet Casting, this is ideal for any Conjuration (or magic in general) builds, as it makes all your casting silent. Especially for Conjuration, as it allows you to summon your bound weapons and companions whilst in stealth without being spotted.
I'm so proud I kind of came up with this build on my own :') My brenton character usually starts combat by casting a flame atronach then conjuring her bound bow. She does every daedric quest and will eventually join the CoW. Atronach stone, she lives in Riften and married Marcurio. I'm having so much fun with her but I wish I'd seen this first to get the Hircine side of it!
My char starts combat the same way. She feels like she is onto a huge conspiricy. She believes that all the gods are made up and are false. She doesnt know why she makes the choices shr makes sometimes . its almkst like she is being controlled by someone or something else.
Happy 6th Birthday Skyrim!!! Stealing More and of my life with each passing day. In all seriousness this is my favorite game and I’m happy to see it still going!
Actually, no. They simply revisited their go to standing of old for this particular build, because of the magica regeneration penalty of the Atronach stone. Can't have a misfire in the heat of battle, now can we. 😉
Peder-Willem Gertsen Actually, the reason they don't use The Atronach Stone for this build is primarily because the game wrongly categorizes some conjuration spells as hostile(The Spell Absorbtion effect tries to absorb these "hostile" spells). That's why Drew said "can't have a misfire" when he was talking about not using the stone...
Pizza Face i tried using the atronach stone for my Battle Mage but he was more of a conjuration Battle Mage and I hate how it has a tendency to eat my atronachs.
Just discovered this video, and I would like to thank you for this because it has inspired me to make tweaks to my own character I created. The original idea was to have them be an assassin that centered around smithing and enchanting and use poisons, eventually I wanted to enchant my weapons with poison effects so I wouldn't have to keep farming for poisons or frostbite venom. But found out that poisons not an enchantment and without mods poison pretty much sucks. But this has given me some fun ideas to help tweak my idea while keeping parts of the original plan in tact
I know this is old, but this character makes me think he's some sort of Reachman. Breton, affiliation to Hircine and other Daedra, connected with nature and magic... Iunno, makes me think he's a child of the Reach.
How do you guys not have 1mil subscribes best ES UA-camrs around love all your immersive and amazing builds!!!! Please never stop guys!!! You guys resparked my love for Skyrim
Bound weapons are so stupidly powerful at early game and especially along with conjuration perks even including bound weapon perks and the weapon perks based on which weapon you're using
Pls Drew! Pls Michael! Pls Scott! Please do a few more Skyrim builds for us longtime fans who miss them. Builds, especially Skyrim builds, are my favorite videos you guys do/did, and I'd love to see some more of them more than anything! I used to really look forward to Skyrim Build-day. It was the best thing to wake up to honestly. If you guys could just make one more, one more to get our imaginations going again, I'd be so grateful 🙏
Dudes, this is crazy. I was gonna start snitch archer build, didn't know how tho. I was also gonna get the rpg mods from the other day, this is see this! Amazing! Thanks for the awesome build
Bound bow is soooo OP. On my Witch Hunter build that I personalized after maxing enchanting and resetting the points to put some points into alteration for flesh spells (since I was squishy) and into conjuration for the perk to increase bound wpns dmg landed on 184 pure dmg on my bow. If you wear enchanted gear with 2-3 fortify archery you deal tons of dmg on bound bows. I am really hard hitting now and I am actually on 4/5 on overdraw (some potential there still). I am sure I can get around 200 even per shot. Love that look of the arrows and bow.
Hope You see this. Never been done for a build by anyone! The advantage of keeping the Atronach stone on the Aetherial Crown= Crown On~ Absorb damage in emergencies!! Crown Off~ Conjugation only hindered 30% by perk Atronach if taken. can be used Added to NecroVamps build or Bretons.
Yeah but he's not asking for a Morrowind build. He's asking for a build embodying the prototypical Nerevarine. Also lmao why'd you like your own comment?
I think an Orc werewolf/melee-centric vampire lord would be a good idea, since there's a bit of an exploit you can use, and that's popping the berserker rage just before transforming, the buff carries over and it adds that little bit of survivability/murder ability. Building off of this, I think a modded vampire orc build with improved, modded vampire abilities/perks would be a good idea, have him be a true scantily-clad Orc berserker with maybe dual daggers or dagger/other weapon who can also transform and tear enemies to shreds with claw and fang, adding conjuration to the build for necromancy might be nice, but I don't think this particular build would be magic-savvy, as he'd more or less be an insane monster, a good build title would be "The Bloodfiend", I think. Another perk of having this build be modded is the addition of more evil options to this game and alternate start, not to mention armor/weapon mods. Remember when making this build to make effort to differentiate it from both other evil orc builds, and other vampire builds, putting big emphasis on the melee vampire lord gameplay and insatiable thirst for blood that this character would have. Another idea for a modded build I had is a scoundrel-y Altmer pirate-king that skillfully mixes magic, speech, and melee, the modded aspect would mostly come in the form of a pirate hat/attire from Immersive Armors, although spell mods would also benefit this build greatly. I think a good idea for backstory is to have the character be somewhat aged, and recently broke out of the imperial city prison after a century or two of incarceration after the Dominion took the imperial city, found an opening for escape or some such, how he originally got captured is up to you. This would be a good idea for a few reasons, one would be giving him a goal ie rebuilding his wealth/pirate crew, and another would be rationalizing how he's incredibly weak at the beginning of the game. There is also a wealth of quest mods and base-game mods that fit a character of the pirate style. I think he'd either enchant/upgrade his own scimitar, go through the Dark Brotherhood and use Windshear, or go for dual-wielding and use Soulrender and Bloodscythe (although I think getting a follower, like the Falkreath thane, and giving them Bloodscythe/Soulrender would be a better idea). I think also incorporating Alteration into the Ethereal Hunter would be a good idea for 3 reasons, one being paralysis, another being the ability to pop a flesh spell before going into werewolf form, and lastly the Alteration perks that increase spell resistance/absorption, so that even in werewolf form, the character would be impervious to spells of any kind. Lastly, I think remastering one of the original dwemer tinkerer-style builds would be a good idea, since this is a character style I'm currently trying to set up myself, this would obviously be a better build to have modded due to the addition of gadgets and whatnot, but bringing back one of the older builds styled like this would be better imho.
Did they? I must've missed it. Either way, coming up with build ideas is one of the few things that doesn't entirely bore me, so I enjoy doing it and putting them out there.
It’s testimony to how damn good your videos are that I listened all the way ‘frew’ the ‘efereal’ hunter build. Holy fuck was I being triggered every ‘free’ seconds, but you have my ‘fanks’ for yet another top notch video.
Could add Mods like: Alternate Start - Begin as a member of the Forsworn, Bound Tools - Allows you to Conjure a Pickaxe and Woodcutters Axe for further Conjuration boosting, Hunterborn + Scrimshaw: To really get into the Hunting Aesthetic. (There is probably others as well but this is a start)
I am working on a beginning saved character on 360, aside from 11 miscellaneous quests and escaping Helgen no quests have been completed, doing all the prep I can, all stats except for lock picking are at 100, lock picking currently at around 35, more than 2,000 deadric arrows, around 10,000 ebony arrows and around 12,000 elven arrows for blood soaked/hallowed arrows when available. Level around 242, over 600,000 gold and many fast travel locations unlocked. A large number of enchantments unlocked. Almost ready to do some damn quests.
Me in DND:creating a Horizon Walker Ranger that hunts aberrations at this moment This vid: shows up Me now:HOW ARE YOU COMPUTERS FINDING THIS OUT DAMNIT
I’ve begun using these build videos for D&D character inspiration. Half elf (Bretons are humans descended from elves and humans doing it, so it’s the closest analogue in 5e. Other Variant human) Ranger, horizon walker and become a werewolf somehow. Arcane archer fighter also makes a good class choice. Lycanthropy is probably difficult to get depending on the campaign, so you’ll have to talk to your DM about it. There is a nature god in the forgotten realms setting similar to Hircine, being a hunting god and patron to werewolves. Plus there’s the plane that is the afterlife for hunters, too.
My headcannon for this build is this: when the hunter " turned to the arcane" when his bow broke, he prayed at the village effigy to Hircine and was " gifted" an amulet/ring/circlet from said effigy ( aka snagged the holy relic from the alter... How else would you become the best servent to a deadric prince if you weren't willing to bend rules etc) said relic bestowed the bound bow spell...and when he gets caught on the border his stuff is taken...hence he has to actually aquire the skill to summon the bow himself ( spells being bound to objects is in the game, Ahzidal's ring of Arcana is a prime example)((sorry if I misspelled anything)) [ as for the " youth is better than his elders at hunting, best hunter in the village at 20" etc stuff.... I would say most consistent hunter instead... Always killing in 1 shot vs needing to track an injured deer etc..] Love the build, giving it a try my next playthrough
FudgeMuppet can you make a build about an imperial who comes to skyrim to fight for the stormcloaks because off all the aldmeri in cyrodil or a build surrounding wuuthrad
?NEW BUILD? Dovahkiin of skyrim Race: Nord Weapons: one handed mainly (as long as its dragon bone its fine) Armor: Dragon Scale chest, gauntlets, boots and then jagged crown. Main perks: light armor, one handed (or two) block, and archery. Sub perks: smithing, sneak, speech, lock pick. Back story: As a young boy growing up DoS would memorize the tale of the dovahkiin, much to the dismay of his parents (Father was Brenton and the mother was Nord) but still grew up in his teenage years learning about the thieves guild, the Oblivion crisis, and the dark brotherhood. Later on in life his parents had to leave due to relatives in High Rock, leaving the DoS alone. Then the civil war broke out and passage to Skyrim was now impossible but, the DoS had one trick up his sleeve he was going to cross the boarder illegally. But as you know it wasn't successful and off he went to head rolling helgen. Getting out of Helgen and learning he's dragonborn he will be over joyed but still keeping the calm side on so he will ultimately side with the gray beards for he feels the blades to be nothing more of a little detail at the edge of a painting. Aka they don't see the bigger picture. When he gets out of Helgen he will side with the stormcloaks. After thinking it over he knew the imperials were keeping the elves at bay and protecting skyrim, but he felt like Skyrim could fight for its self. Later on he will be sent on a mission to retrieve the jagged crown after creating a look-a-like out of a dedric helmet he found just laying around he swipes the real crown and wears that not just because it looks good with dragon scale but to show dominance over the dragons as an insult. Then he will side with the dawngaurd for he believes that such vile monsters shouldn't be able to breath the same cold air as him. Other factions are: Companions (he will reject to become a wear wolf. But he will still respect them) Thieves guild Dark brotherhood Dawngaurd So that's my build.
I actually made a character with a very detailed backstory based around Hircine. She was really fun to do. I made a female kahjiit so that I could make her more wolf-like. She was from a small village where most people were Hircine worshippers. Many generations of her family had the werewolf blood, so far down that no one knew when it started. In their family when the child reached age 10 they would begin their training. First just taught the basics of Hircine and how to behave in certain situations in werewolf form, and slowly getting further in and having others transform in front of them. They would do the ritual to become a werewolf once the person had reached adulthood. My character had never changed because by the time she became of age, her parents had died and most other followers of Hircine never actually transformed. She chose to go to Skyrim after hearing stories of large packs of werewolves in the area. The character’s name is Kha’jay Rian Daro, which in Ta’agra (the khajiit launguage) mean Moon Dog Thief. I added the suffix Thief because before they were able to find a way to change into a werewolf I wanted them to be very good at sneaking. I had intended to not use a bow much because I wanted her to use 2 weapons, but it turned out that I just had good luck at aiming with that character and never missed a shot with my bow until level 7, so I kept using it. I made her be really focused on what she was wanting to do. After she became a werewolf I still had her almost always need a big thing to work on, or else she would feel kind of antsy if that makes sense. Still using her
If you use the Mod Compleat Archery Overhaul it adds an Ethereal Bow spellbook to all the shops and NPC's who sell spellbooks. Its much like the bound bow but costs less to conjure it so it can be done at lower levels. Also, the mod adds a bleeding effect to all arrows.
I did this build with 200 magicka, 200 stamina, rest in health. Use bound bow, bound dagger, flaming familiars, max sneak, max bow skill, and added alchemy for fun. Using a stormcloak officer (bear) helm enchanted with archery and conjuration. Love this build.
Still waiting patiently.
You got a shout out in the intro. Will you never be satisfied :p
Good on you you got their attention
I won't be satisfied until the day I am remade and can slay my brother once more.

Fort Amol is almost always one of the first places I travel to just for the bow.
Happy 6th birthday skyrim you'e always made me go back to you even though I've played hundreds or thousands of hours
Chihuahua Yum oh and what am I lying about
Just found your channel and this video after watching a few and aside from the conjuring of the bow everything else is spot on to my character
One of the most unique builds on this channel!
Holy shit, this might be my favorite build you guys did
Now you can remaster it again. for with anniversary you can summon two bears to go with. wish it was button that made them attack.
PLZ do a Clavicus Vile worshiper or more Khajjit builds
Prince Sheogorath strange to see that from uncle Sheo
Hilmar Heathkliff it just been a long time since I tormented Khajjits.
Prince Sheogorath lol
Prince Sheogorath Great idea
Prince Sheogorath your mission is confusing
speaking of Psijic Monks, have you guys already made a build about them?
John Christian Basiloña it would have to be modded,as their robes are unplayable. Besises,stoppinf time and teleporting would be awesome
Stopping*
Zaric Zhakaron made a heavily modded Psijic outcast build.
Check it out.
A Psijic Monk build would be cool
Wow my bound bow stealth archer is unstoppable i recommend to use that weapon
There's many mods to make this build even better.
I know this is old, but this character makes me think he's some sort of Reachman.
Breton, affiliation to Hircine and other Daedra, connected with nature and magic...
Iunno, makes me think he's a child of the Reach.
How do you guys not have 1mil subscribes best ES UA-camrs around love all your immersive and amazing builds!!!! Please never stop guys!!! You guys resparked my love for Skyrim
2021 and i still watchin this video, the ethereal hunter was the build that i complete the game
I would have liked the stormcloak officer armour for that sweet wolf hat
Happy sixth birthday Skyrim. Here's a toast to many more.
Probably my favorite build but i love all the builds you guys do.
Exactly 6 years ago the original Skyrim game was released
Falk We are still waiting for ELDER SCROLLS 6
Falk yup happy birthday skyrim
DAMN YOU TODD HOWARD
Falk 6 years of Skyrim,yer there is at least 5 more years until elder scrolls 6.
Skyrim Potato LOL When Elder Scrolls 6 comes out it will be 11 years since Skyrim came out.
Bound weapons are so stupidly powerful at early game and especially along with conjuration perks even including bound weapon perks and the weapon perks based on which weapon you're using
Pls Drew! Pls Michael! Pls Scott! Please do a few more Skyrim builds for us longtime fans who miss them. Builds, especially Skyrim builds, are my favorite videos you guys do/did, and I'd love to see some more of them more than anything! I used to really look forward to Skyrim Build-day. It was the best thing to wake up to honestly.
If you guys could just make one more, one more to get our imaginations going again, I'd be so grateful 🙏
Currently playing this build it’s a lot of fun
Dudes, this is crazy. I was gonna start snitch archer build, didn't know how tho. I was also gonna get the rpg mods from the other day, this is see this! Amazing! Thanks for the awesome build
So glad you remastered this
Bound bow is soooo OP. On my Witch Hunter build that I personalized after maxing enchanting and resetting the points to put some points into alteration for flesh spells (since I was squishy) and into conjuration for the perk to increase bound wpns dmg landed on 184 pure dmg on my bow. If you wear enchanted gear with 2-3 fortify archery you deal tons of dmg on bound bows. I am really hard hitting now and I am actually on 4/5 on overdraw (some potential there still). I am sure I can get around 200 even per shot. Love that look of the arrows and bow.
Hope You see this. Never been done for a build by anyone! The advantage of keeping the Atronach stone on the Aetherial Crown= Crown On~ Absorb damage in emergencies!! Crown Off~ Conjugation only hindered 30% by perk Atronach if taken. can be used Added to NecroVamps build or Bretons.
Humterborn would go perfect with this.
Nerevarine build
Prodigy Gamer that would be a dark elf being a werewolf
Prodigy Gamer you really have good ideas for builds
Matthew Campbell fuck being a werewolf I'm loyal to my bud Falx Carrious
Make the Warrior of the Reclamations build a Male? Or the Outsider build?
Yeah but he's not asking for a Morrowind build. He's asking for a build embodying the prototypical Nerevarine.
Also lmao why'd you like your own comment?
I think an Orc werewolf/melee-centric vampire lord would be a good idea, since there's a bit of an exploit you can use, and that's popping the berserker rage just before transforming, the buff carries over and it adds that little bit of survivability/murder ability.
Building off of this, I think a modded vampire orc build with improved, modded vampire abilities/perks would be a good idea, have him be a true scantily-clad Orc berserker with maybe dual daggers or dagger/other weapon who can also transform and tear enemies to shreds with claw and fang, adding conjuration to the build for necromancy might be nice, but I don't think this particular build would be magic-savvy, as he'd more or less be an insane monster, a good build title would be "The Bloodfiend", I think. Another perk of having this build be modded is the addition of more evil options to this game and alternate start, not to mention armor/weapon mods. Remember when making this build to make effort to differentiate it from both other evil orc builds, and other vampire builds, putting big emphasis on the melee vampire lord gameplay and insatiable thirst for blood that this character would have.
Another idea for a modded build I had is a scoundrel-y Altmer pirate-king that skillfully mixes magic, speech, and melee, the modded aspect would mostly come in the form of a pirate hat/attire from Immersive Armors, although spell mods would also benefit this build greatly. I think a good idea for backstory is to have the character be somewhat aged, and recently broke out of the imperial city prison after a century or two of incarceration after the Dominion took the imperial city, found an opening for escape or some such, how he originally got captured is up to you. This would be a good idea for a few reasons, one would be giving him a goal ie rebuilding his wealth/pirate crew, and another would be rationalizing how he's incredibly weak at the beginning of the game. There is also a wealth of quest mods and base-game mods that fit a character of the pirate style. I think he'd either enchant/upgrade his own scimitar, go through the Dark Brotherhood and use Windshear, or go for dual-wielding and use Soulrender and Bloodscythe (although I think getting a follower, like the Falkreath thane, and giving them Bloodscythe/Soulrender would be a better idea).
I think also incorporating Alteration into the Ethereal Hunter would be a good idea for 3 reasons, one being paralysis, another being the ability to pop a flesh spell before going into werewolf form, and lastly the Alteration perks that increase spell resistance/absorption, so that even in werewolf form, the character would be impervious to spells of any kind.
Lastly, I think remastering one of the original dwemer tinkerer-style builds would be a good idea, since this is a character style I'm currently trying to set up myself, this would obviously be a better build to have modded due to the addition of gadgets and whatnot, but bringing back one of the older builds styled like this would be better imho.
Reapy_s0ul Love your ideas, all very cool. And btw they already remastered the mechanist.
Did they? I must've missed it.
Either way, coming up with build ideas is one of the few things that doesn't entirely bore me, so I enjoy doing it and putting them out there.
I bet you did great in your GCSEs haha
I tried to do something like this awhile ago but you guys did it alot better lol
It’s testimony to how damn good your videos are that I listened all the way ‘frew’ the ‘efereal’ hunter build. Holy fuck was I being triggered every ‘free’ seconds, but you have my ‘fanks’ for yet another top notch video.
i kind of missed this guy
thank you so much for remastering this build
Could add Mods like: Alternate Start - Begin as a member of the Forsworn, Bound Tools - Allows you to Conjure a Pickaxe and Woodcutters Axe for further Conjuration boosting, Hunterborn + Scrimshaw: To really get into the Hunting Aesthetic. (There is probably others as well but this is a start)
Dude, this video has been up for an hour and it already has over 2K views. You guys rock.
I've actually been looking for a build for skyrim that looks fun and intresting, and I will say, this is the one I'm doing first
I am working on a beginning saved character on 360, aside from 11 miscellaneous quests and escaping Helgen no quests have been completed, doing all the prep I can, all stats except for lock picking are at 100, lock picking currently at around 35, more than 2,000 deadric arrows, around 10,000 ebony arrows and around 12,000 elven arrows for blood soaked/hallowed arrows when available. Level around 242, over 600,000 gold and many fast travel locations unlocked. A large number of enchantments unlocked. Almost ready to do some damn quests.
Me in DND:creating a Horizon Walker Ranger that hunts aberrations at this moment
This vid: shows up
Me now:HOW ARE YOU COMPUTERS FINDING THIS OUT DAMNIT
Such a cool build! Can't wait to try it out myself
I’ve begun using these build videos for D&D character inspiration.
Half elf (Bretons are humans descended from elves and humans doing it, so it’s the closest analogue in 5e. Other Variant human) Ranger, horizon walker and become a werewolf somehow. Arcane archer fighter also makes a good class choice. Lycanthropy is probably difficult to get depending on the campaign, so you’ll have to talk to your DM about it. There is a nature god in the forgotten realms setting similar to Hircine, being a hunting god and patron to werewolves. Plus there’s the plane that is the afterlife for hunters, too.
With Grim Hollow they made it pretty easy to turn into werewolves, vampires, liches, etc.
this is one of my favorite builds for a Breton the Battlemage is my first favorite
I was waiting for it!
My headcannon for this build is this: when the hunter " turned to the arcane" when his bow broke, he prayed at the village effigy to Hircine and was " gifted" an amulet/ring/circlet from said effigy ( aka snagged the holy relic from the alter... How else would you become the best servent to a deadric prince if you weren't willing to bend rules etc) said relic bestowed the bound bow spell...and when he gets caught on the border his stuff is taken...hence he has to actually aquire the skill to summon the bow himself ( spells being bound to objects is in the game, Ahzidal's ring of Arcana is a prime example)((sorry if I misspelled anything)) [ as for the " youth is better than his elders at hunting, best hunter in the village at 20" etc stuff.... I would say most consistent hunter instead... Always killing in 1 shot vs needing to track an injured deer etc..] Love the build, giving it a try my next playthrough
I have been waiting for this since 8th grade last year.
I made this build years ago before i found this channel.
The bound bow spell create noise so the quiet casting perk from the illusion tree would help
Didn’t say anything about the dark brotherhood. I would figure they’re viable since this build wants to be the best hunter of all
Maybe he would destroy the dark brotherhood to prove he is a greater hunter than they are...
FudgeMuppet can you make a build about an imperial who comes to skyrim to fight for the stormcloaks because off all the aldmeri in cyrodil or a build surrounding wuuthrad
I wanna see more wood elf based builds. I think they're such an interesting race
Why do michael, scott and drew all have great voices!? WTF IS IN YOUR WATER AUSTRALIA?!
As soon as I pickup a copy of SE I'm doing this.
Moonlight Tales is a great mod to use in conjunction with this build, as it is a complete overhaul of the werewolf system.
Cool idea but the summon wolves and fire wolves are completely useless after lvl 20
Then use a different summon spell
this build is cool you guys do awesome on your videos!
?NEW BUILD?
Dovahkiin of skyrim
Race: Nord
Weapons: one handed mainly (as long as its dragon bone its fine)
Armor: Dragon Scale chest, gauntlets, boots and then jagged crown.
Main perks: light armor, one handed (or two) block, and archery.
Sub perks: smithing, sneak, speech, lock pick.
Back story:
As a young boy growing up DoS would memorize the tale of the dovahkiin, much to the dismay of his parents (Father was Brenton and the mother was Nord) but still grew up in his teenage years learning about the thieves guild, the Oblivion crisis, and the dark brotherhood. Later on in life his parents had to leave due to relatives in High Rock, leaving the DoS alone. Then the civil war broke out and passage to Skyrim was now impossible but, the DoS had one trick up his sleeve he was going to cross the boarder illegally. But as you know it wasn't successful and off he went to head rolling helgen.
Getting out of Helgen and learning he's dragonborn he will be over joyed but still keeping the calm side on so he will ultimately side with the gray beards for he feels the blades to be nothing more of a little detail at the edge of a painting. Aka they don't see the bigger picture.
When he gets out of Helgen he will side with the stormcloaks. After thinking it over he knew the imperials were keeping the elves at bay and protecting skyrim, but he felt like Skyrim could fight for its self. Later on he will be sent on a mission to retrieve the jagged crown after creating a look-a-like out of a dedric helmet he found just laying around he swipes the real crown and wears that not just because it looks good with dragon scale but to show dominance over the dragons as an insult. Then he will side with the dawngaurd for he believes that such vile monsters shouldn't be able to breath the same cold air as him.
Other factions are:
Companions (he will reject to become a wear wolf. But he will still respect them)
Thieves guild
Dark brotherhood
Dawngaurd
So that's my build.
I actually made a character with a very detailed backstory based around Hircine. She was really fun to do. I made a female kahjiit so that I could make her more wolf-like. She was from a small village where most people were Hircine worshippers. Many generations of her family had the werewolf blood, so far down that no one knew when it started. In their family when the child reached age 10 they would begin their training. First just taught the basics of Hircine and how to behave in certain situations in werewolf form, and slowly getting further in and having others transform in front of them. They would do the ritual to become a werewolf once the person had reached adulthood. My character had never changed because by the time she became of age, her parents had died and most other followers of Hircine never actually transformed. She chose to go to Skyrim after hearing stories of large packs of werewolves in the area. The character’s name is Kha’jay Rian Daro, which in Ta’agra (the khajiit launguage) mean Moon Dog Thief. I added the suffix Thief because before they were able to find a way to change into a werewolf I wanted them to be very good at sneaking. I had intended to not use a bow much because I wanted her to use 2 weapons, but it turned out that I just had good luck at aiming with that character and never missed a shot with my bow until level 7, so I kept using it. I made her be really focused on what she was wanting to do. After she became a werewolf I still had her almost always need a big thing to work on, or else she would feel kind of antsy if that makes sense. Still using her
Keep up the good work guys
That music from Morrowind is just magical
Sooo.... it's a sneak archer?
Now i will forever have nightmares thanks
Reminds me of TrendkillV01. Miss that guy. I think it will happen for any bound bow build though.
If you use the Mod Compleat Archery Overhaul it adds an Ethereal Bow spellbook to all the shops and NPC's who sell spellbooks. Its much like the bound bow but costs less to conjure it so it can be done at lower levels. Also, the mod adds a bleeding effect to all arrows.
But the mod make archers to op
This build is incredible.
I did this build with 200 magicka, 200 stamina, rest in health. Use bound bow, bound dagger, flaming familiars, max sneak, max bow skill, and added alchemy for fun. Using a stormcloak officer (bear) helm enchanted with archery and conjuration. Love this build.
Happy 6th Anniversary, Skyrim!!!
I seriously gotta try this build
I love you Fudge Muppet
Good job on bow skills shooting with no cross-hair!- The only way to be an Archer in Skyrim!
