The best thing about these builds is how even though they are all vanilla, the themes and overall build can be perfectly translated into my current load order. Perfect channel just wish you uploaded more 😭
I've been into the roleplay community going all the way back to Morrowind, and I have to say, this Briar Witch character might be one of the best I've ever seen. No joke. I can't remember a more cohesive back story for a player character in a long while. It's a breath of fresh air to see a back story with real purpose and motivation. Let's be honest, the vast majority of back stories for the PC on a lot of other channels are generic and uninspired. The justification for the Briar Witch to find herself in Skyrim is truly original and interesting. The leveling, armor and weapon choices, faction selection, everything, fits perfectly with the back story. I think Skypothesis has outdone itself. This might be your best work. 👍
What I always love about this channel is that it manages to create different unique builds in vanilla skyrim (anniversary edition) without the need for mods.
It's great to see more anniversary edition builds. The AE content sometimes feels like a lot of disconnected overpowered fan service, but having a roleplaying reason to focus on just a few things really makes it feel integrated into the game world. I'll never look at Skritch the same way again!
I haven’t played a Peryite-worshipper since the old “Order of the Twin Serpents” Altmer from the old Skyrim Blog days. What a fun build, can’t wait to give it a try!
I loved the backstory and motivations. I like how her perspective isn't just evil but that her actions are for the sake of balance. I love her aesthetic and that it's not the typical dark hooded necromancer. Nicely done!
This is a truly inspired build. It astounds me how you guys continue to come up with interesting and lore-friendly characters. Keep up the amazing work, guys!
I was hyped af for this build and yet, once again, you have surpassed every expectation i had for The Briar Witch. She's just such a cool and unique character ! She's definilty more lawful evil than neutral with her desire to apply harsh natural order of life in the name of her daedric god and that what make her a fantastic character to roleplay as ! Starting my playtrough right now, i was expecting a connextion to The Bulwark of The Bog due to both of them being plague characters but she's awesome nonetheless !
The fact that I started a poison/ disease based build who worships peryite (based on the deathguard) after a near year hiatus from Skyrim, and Skypothesis do the *exact same thing* 2 days after tells me this is the perfect channel
Pretty good swerve! I thought it would be a Sheo focus. I love the wrinkle of the dragon blood and being immune to Peryite's blessing. The impetus for that may have just been that the game has no such blessing, but it's a cool RP/lore idea and opens some different options if using Wintersun. Love the bit of Atronach Forge use, too. With the use of Enchanting, she could use Bloodthorn at least for stealthy soul-trapping kills (e.g. for Brotherhood quests). If nothing else, it fits her theme. 🙂 I haven't done much with the ghostly side of Necromantic Grimoire, or Necromancer's Ritual, and this is a great build for it!
After watching the full video I have to say I feel like you've stepped up your game and really put even more effort into the little things. I really like this build but also the whole video editing is really well done. Personally I feel like tge extra time that you took for your videos is represented here and hopefully in the next videos too.
Obviously you have your own builds planned, but I think and Orc Mage or a Elf warrior could be cool. In particular, a High Elf who grew up as an Immigrant in Bruma and blended High Elven culture with Nordic virtues of honor, courage, and strength, and an Orc halfbreed who was abandoned by his tribe but taken in by Bretons and taught the virtues of Breton culture such as chivalry, magic, and scholarly pursuits.
New subscriber huge fan! Would you ever consider making a section where you recommend followers for each build? Would be so interesting to hear who each character would choose among the many followers! Think people would love it!
Welcome and thank you!! We do discuss followers for certain builds that we’ve done if we built them to have a follower - but admittedly those are few and far between. That’s a good idea!
Awesome!!! Love it!! Would say so much about each character in terms of who they would choose to spend all that time with would be so cool. We are who our friends are after all
Wow! Why am I only hearing about you today?! Where have you been through out my life on making a nteresting builds and role plays for my characters? I love this! Sub! ❤
Alright, i have a few thinks to say. First, I f**king LOVE this channel, it's easily in my top 10 favorite UA-cam channels (maybe even my top 5). Second, what a great build, most of the witch builds out there always seems too cliché like " yeah, she's a wicked pure evil cruel monster with little to no humanity left, etc, etc". This feels more balanced, yeah she doesn't really have regard for lives but it's more because she lets death do its job. And last think, if all builds this year are as good as this one then I definitly wouldn't understand how good you guys are at making character (sometimes I feel like you should just straight writ a book...ok maybe not but still, wow).
man you make the best builds videos on the internet. Every lore is so GOOD. I don't know if you take recommendations but I would sell my kidney to see your take on Golden Saint/Dark Seducer build
Another thing, I love playing witches in rpg games. I played a witch in Morrowind as well as oblivion and BG3. I just got a pc and was going to give Skyrim another go. I’ll definitely be using this build in a few months! Thanks again for the great content.
A fittingly venomous build to start off the year of the Snake! Edit: Also, YOU CAN MAKE POTIONS AT THE ATRONACH FORGE?? How did you guys figure that out? Not a single wiki I’ve used references that!
Bless you for still uploading. Working on a sword and board character..... I know boring right 😅. But the gimmick to the build is that it uses ring of the wind for 15% movement speed and light armor. I play only now on legendary survival and I'm never a stealth archer. Also no enchanting or alchemy loops. Just smithing to level 60. Love this game ❤
I am stoked for this new year of awesome Skypothesis vids! I was waiting patiently for this to drop when ya'll mentioned it at the end of last year! I love all of the builds because they are all so unique & original! Thank you again for this! Ya'll are AWESOME! Happy 2025 to Skypothesis!!!
Id imaging saving alot around vampires, would hate to have cleanse yourself, then reacquire Peryites blessings again, speaking as someone who has done a disease themed build before xD
Amazing build as always! I'm excited for this new year of builds! I'd also like to mention how amazingly well Vindsvepts music works with these build videos. I usually pop on a Vindsvept playlist to write and quickly noticed the use of them in these videos. They add a certain amount of whimsy that amplifies the already existing charm!
Love her! Great use of the haunting spirits as coven members, undead Orchendor, and Anises cabin, among so many other things. She feels like a young version of the bg3 hag witch. I was afraid she would overlap a lot with my current Peryite build and my druidic build, but she's totally different. Truly her own!
This a an awesome build to kick off the year. I really love how she looks and as always your back story never disappoints - Thank you and Happy New Year!
first I would love another series of three siblings, each going their own way: One who goes all out for the Thief skills (Archery included, hybrid combat/stealth archer) who's also an insanely good Alchemist One using lot's of warrior skills (maybe one handed and shield for Humanoid enemies and Two-handed for massive enemies like Dragons, Giants and Centurions) who's also a very good Blacksmith The last being a Mage who fully utilizes all 5 Schools (staves would be Very nice!!) and is known for his Enchantments as the only one who knows how to double enchant Maybe aim for level 46 to 1) hit levelled gear breakpoints (if necessary), 2) for more levels and perks as you use pretty much all the trees of a "class"
Just got back from walking the dog, what a great video! I had no idea you guys were so ready for Halloween to return, the Briar Witch is creepy, it's only just become a new year 😂
The Briar Witch could easily benefit from the payed mod coven of crones and the player home from completing the mod And the added spells and summon horse witch looks like a horse/dragon with plague like color
Is the laughing in the beginning from the ladies in the windmill town from Elden Ring? Because if so, that’s awesome and if not, they sound very similar.

Month 1 of 12 for the Year of Skypothesis. Brand new build coming on the first Friday of each month, with recap shorts in between. Love y’all!
Yall probably should have saved this build for October lol.
@@chrisanders713 I'm betting they have something even more appropriate for then.
NO@@chrisanders713
I love that I've played Elden Ring so much to know exactly where you got that creepy old crone laugh from........
Grandfather Nurgle gives a wide smile to this one.
She is gifted from daddy nurgle❤❤❤
BABE WAKE UP SKYPOTHESIS DROPPED
Thanks love. I'm up now.
Thanks darling
The best thing about these builds is how even though they are all vanilla, the themes and overall build can be perfectly translated into my current load order. Perfect channel just wish you uploaded more 😭
A MIDSOMMAR WITCHY PERYITE BUILD??? Holy chim the aesthetic is sublime.
I've been into the roleplay community going all the way back to Morrowind, and I have to say, this Briar Witch character might be one of the best I've ever seen. No joke. I can't remember a more cohesive back story for a player character in a long while. It's a breath of fresh air to see a back story with real purpose and motivation.

I think Skypothesis has outdone itself. This might be your best work. 👍
Dang thanks so much that is high praise indeed!!
What I always love about this channel is that it manages to create different unique builds in vanilla skyrim (anniversary edition) without the need for mods.
It's fun to play within the confines of the game!
It's great to see more anniversary edition builds. The AE content sometimes feels like a lot of disconnected overpowered fan service, but having a roleplaying reason to focus on just a few things really makes it feel integrated into the game world. I'll never look at Skritch the same way again!
It’s definitely full of imbalanced things, but it also opens a world of new opportunities when you use the content sparingly
This the type of stuff that gets me back into Skyrim
I didn’t know it at the time, but this is why I woke up this morning. Glorious is the day.
I haven’t played a Peryite-worshipper since the old “Order of the Twin Serpents” Altmer from the old Skyrim Blog days.
What a fun build, can’t wait to give it a try!
I loved the backstory and motivations. I like how her perspective isn't just evil but that her actions are for the sake of balance. I love her aesthetic and that it's not the typical dark hooded necromancer. Nicely done!
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Early game mirak cultist robes are good.
Would love to see your guy's take on a Clever Man build. I know there is one in Morrowind for the Project Tamriel mod for Skyrim: Home of the Nords.
I'm confident in saying I will not find a better channel for skyrim builds. You guys are so fucking incredible! Each build leave me stunned 😮
Finally, a Ghost Summoner.
I especially love the outfit combo here. She looks unique in standing out as a necromancer.
This is a truly inspired build. It astounds me how you guys continue to come up with interesting and lore-friendly characters. Keep up the amazing work, guys!
What a grand and intoxicating Skyrim Build
Skypothesis returned when we need it the most.❤
You know I’m something of a Druid myself.
This is going to be good
Skypothesis keeping the magic of Skyrim alive!
I was hyped af for this build and yet, once again, you have surpassed every expectation i had for The Briar Witch. She's just such a cool and unique character !
She's definilty more lawful evil than neutral with her desire to apply harsh natural order of life in the name of her daedric god and that what make her a fantastic character to roleplay as !
Starting my playtrough right now, i was expecting a connextion to The Bulwark of The Bog due to both of them being plague characters but she's awesome nonetheless !
💙 🤍
The return of the kings
Axel's dream of the Briar Witch has finally came true
Hahaha hope it didn’t disappoint
How could i dislike her ? She's the coolest character imaginable !
Another fantastic video as always!! Forever inspiring me to match these awesome levels of canonical creativity with my own personal builds!!
Skypothesis is the only channel that makes me want to play character that usualy dont appeal to me, great job !
Peryite is oft depicted as a dragon. Good roleplay opportunity
Time to get the three-piece suit out, Skypothesis posted a new video
Here we go again... Skypothesis encouraging me to play Skyrim for my 1126 play through.
Welp that's my next play through sorted. Fantastic video and build idea. Just brilliant, as always. Thank you for sharing.
Love the aesthetic and backstory! Can’t wait for the next builds we get from y’all!
A skypothesis build is always THE BEST thing to wake up to 🎉
Well done, impeccable as always! Now I'm really tempted to do a Dr.Strange inspired mage, using magic to protect Mundus from magic.
Stylite Storm: 👋
@zephyr835 thanks!
yey the woman in total control of herself build!
The fact that I started a poison/ disease based build who worships peryite (based on the deathguard) after a near year hiatus from Skyrim, and Skypothesis do the *exact same thing* 2 days after tells me this is the perfect channel
Oh that style is unmatched! Someone finally recognizes the beauty of the wedding wreath!!!
It’s a drippy wreath fr
Another great build you made!!! Thanks you so much!!! You're really motivate Skyrim fans to keeping the love off Skyrim. Happy new year!!!🎉😁
Thank you so much for your generosity! Divines bless you!
NEW SKYPOTHESIS BUILD, NEW ME
Another great day of SKYPOTHESIS! FUCK YEAH BABY!
Pretty good swerve! I thought it would be a Sheo focus. I love the wrinkle of the dragon blood and being immune to Peryite's blessing. The impetus for that may have just been that the game has no such blessing, but it's a cool RP/lore idea and opens some different options if using Wintersun. Love the bit of Atronach Forge use, too. With the use of Enchanting, she could use Bloodthorn at least for stealthy soul-trapping kills (e.g. for Brotherhood quests). If nothing else, it fits her theme. 🙂
I haven't done much with the ghostly side of Necromantic Grimoire, or Necromancer's Ritual, and this is a great build for it!
After watching the full video I have to say I feel like you've stepped up your game and really put even more effort into the little things. I really like this build but also the whole video editing is really well done. Personally I feel like tge extra time that you took for your videos is represented here and hopefully in the next videos too.
Thanks so much, we’re definitely always trying to iterate and improve
amazing video like always, now all i need is a new FO4 build and im in Sovngarde.
Obviously you have your own builds planned, but I think and Orc Mage or a Elf warrior could be cool. In particular, a High Elf who grew up as an Immigrant in Bruma and blended High Elven culture with Nordic virtues of honor, courage, and strength, and an Orc halfbreed who was abandoned by his tribe but taken in by Bretons and taught the virtues of Breton culture such as chivalry, magic, and scholarly pursuits.
Those are fun ideas!!
Very cool guys! You never fail to impress!! Looks like Peryite will finally get his time to shine!
Peryite is so slept on
New build, let's go!
New subscriber huge fan! Would you ever consider making a section where you recommend followers for each build? Would be so interesting to hear who each character would choose among the many followers! Think people would love it!

Awesome!!! Love it!! Would say so much about each character in terms of who they would choose to spend all that time with would be so cool. We are who our friends are after all
The best Skyrim build catalogue ever
Thank you!!
Another great build! Glad you guys are back!
Wow! Why am I only hearing about you today?! Where have you been through out my life on making a nteresting builds and role plays for my characters? I love this! Sub! ❤
Welcome aboard, thanks so much!!
A new build for the future and a new song for my playlist! You’ve outdone yourselves with her aesthetic, I am *obsessed* with this combo!
I didn't know you could make potions at the atronauch forge! woah
The Goat is back!
Alright, i have a few thinks to say. First, I f**king LOVE this channel, it's easily in my top 10 favorite UA-cam channels (maybe even my top 5).

Thanks so much!!!!
I was hoping for some kind of witch and this doesn't disappoint! The Peryite focus is something I never would have thought of but it works so well.
man you make the best builds videos on the internet. Every lore is so GOOD. I don't know if you take recommendations but I would sell my kidney to see your take on Golden Saint/Dark Seducer build
Man I'm hyped to see what else you two will be cooking up in the next months
We’re super stoked about these 12 builds this year
The fact that I watched the blair witch project just a few days ago makes me wanna jump back in Skyrim frfr awesome build just like always guys
Another thing, I love playing witches in rpg games. I played a witch in Morrowind as well as oblivion and BG3. I just got a pc and was going to give Skyrim another go. I’ll definitely be using this build in a few months! Thanks again for the great content.
A fittingly venomous build to start off the year of the Snake!
Edit: Also, YOU CAN MAKE POTIONS AT THE ATRONACH FORGE?? How did you guys figure that out? Not a single wiki I’ve used references that!
"Sick" build. Really enjoy all the builds Skypothesis comes up with. Good times.
Love the builds guys keep em coming!
Bless you for still uploading. Working on a sword and board character..... I know boring right 😅. But the gimmick to the build is that it uses ring of the wind for 15% movement speed and light armor. I play only now on legendary survival and I'm never a stealth archer. Also no enchanting or alchemy loops. Just smithing to level 60. Love this game ❤
Cursed work I couldn’t watch it when it dropped, but I’m here now!
Likewise.
Was the laughing from the start the sound the cannibal women make in the windmill village in Elden ring?
It absolutely was 😋
A good choice, they really creeped me out in my play-through. I’m impressed with myself for getting that right!
I love that the builds are back. Quite a few of your builds have inspired my own playthroughs!!
Awesome!!
I always love seeing Daedra based builds.
The name of this one stroke me though... I can't think of any Forsworn build yet on the channel.
We have a hard time RPing as a Forsworn because they’re such a common enemy in the game… but never say never!
Thanks, guys. I had been thinking about making a character like this so now I have what I need. Great work.
Our pleasure! Thank you!
wow, this is an incredible build. soo deadly, but dainty, lovely❤
OOOO WE ARE SO BACK, GREAT JOB GUYS❤❤
Will you make any gambler type of build?
Perhaps for FNV someday…
Merci pour ce retour sur youtube ! Super build, très innovant !
I am stoked for this new year of awesome Skypothesis vids! I was waiting patiently for this to drop when ya'll mentioned it at the end of last year! I love all of the builds because they are all so unique & original! Thank you again for this! Ya'll are AWESOME! Happy 2025 to Skypothesis!!!
Gonna be a great year!
Id imaging saving alot around vampires, would hate to have cleanse yourself, then reacquire Peryites blessings again, speaking as someone who has done a disease themed build before xD
The arch mages robes would also look good on her.
RAHHHHHH NEW SKYPOTHESIS VID!!!!
Amazing build as always! I'm excited for this new year of builds! I'd also like to mention how amazingly well Vindsvepts music works with these build videos. I usually pop on a Vindsvept playlist to write and quickly noticed the use of them in these videos. They add a certain amount of whimsy that amplifies the already existing charm!
Vindsvept is amazing. Our videos wouldn’t work without his music
You all are an inspiration. Cant wait for more!
Love her! Great use of the haunting spirits as coven members, undead Orchendor, and Anises cabin, among so many other things. She feels like a young version of the bg3 hag witch. I was afraid she would overlap a lot with my current Peryite build and my druidic build, but she's totally different. Truly her own!
This a an awesome build to kick off the year. I really love how she looks and as always your back story never disappoints - Thank you and Happy New Year!
Thanks so much!! Happy New Year to you too!!
Like a elder scrolls affliction warlock
we're so back
M'aiq the Liar will tell stories of the Skypothesis universe in ES6 ❤ Happy new year 🎉
Happy New Year!!
Love these please keep them going ❤
Oh yeah!!!! What a great year it will be!
time to start yet another wonderful build I say as they drag me back into the padded room
You’re finally awake
That was a great build! Love the incarnation of a fellow nurgle follower 🤢❤
And guess who's playing Skyrim again since yesterday 🤓
For no-crafters, try jester's/cicero's gloves, shrouded shoes, necromancer's amulet and the sovereign band. Different vibe but I think it works.
I definitely like the idea of a ghost summoner and im ashamed to say ive never thought about it for any of my playthroughs
So good.
first
I would love another series of three siblings, each going their own way:
One who goes all out for the Thief skills (Archery included, hybrid combat/stealth archer) who's also an insanely good Alchemist
One using lot's of warrior skills (maybe one handed and shield for Humanoid enemies and Two-handed for massive enemies like Dragons, Giants and Centurions) who's also a very good Blacksmith
The last being a Mage who fully utilizes all 5 Schools (staves would be Very nice!!) and is known for his Enchantments as the only one who knows how to double enchant
Maybe aim for level 46 to 1) hit levelled gear breakpoints (if necessary), 2) for more levels and perks as you use pretty much all the trees of a "class"
Omg just watching other videos of yours and this pops up!! Great build 😄
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Peak as always you guys
Just got back from walking the dog, what a great video! I had no idea you guys were so ready for Halloween to return, the Briar Witch is creepy, it's only just become a new year 😂
It’s always Halloween in my soul
Very creative!! Definitely gotta give this one a try!
Thanks! Hope you have fun with it!
Nice I love the concept personally my next build is gonna be a pure evil Khajiti who uses necromancy & illusion magick & worships Namira
Let's go we back at it hahahahh
The Briar Witch could easily benefit from the payed mod coven of crones and the player home from completing the mod
And the added spells and summon horse witch looks like a horse/dragon with plague like color
For sure, that would be perfect for her
Is the laughing in the beginning from the ladies in the windmill town from Elden Ring? Because if so, that’s awesome and if not, they sound very similar.
Great as always! Thanks!
