Welcome to Skypothesis! Thanks so much for watching our latest build "The Art Thief"! Imperials are probably our least-played race, so we wanted to spice things up this time by FULLY leveraging the power of coin. Barter your way to glory with this dashing con-man

I like how other builds have flashy moves that show the skill and power of the characters... But the art thief just imagines himself as a badass hero while doing basic stuff

want to say as a Ps4 player... i appreciate the vanilla builds so much. So many things we console played cant do, thankfully i can still play the amazing builds you make for us

Very Unique Merchant themed build, and by far the most hilarious excuse I've seen as to how and why your character ended up in Helgen. "Damn, we don't have the evidence to convict him in a court of law. OH WELL! Just bag him, tag him, and send him to the block anyway!"

Damn boys, you guys play no games, a killer build after another. First time seeing someone using the wedding dress/suit on a build, most underrated clothing piece ever. The roleplay one this one its next level. Awesome work guys, keep em coming.

The beauty of YT sometimes is this, for content creators like you to bring out bangers like this outta nowhere. Thank you for this content bros!

First time hearing the male version of the wedding dress. After all those years you still learn new stuff. I'm guilty of deeming the speech tree as useless but you guys gave me a whole new perspective with an incredible build. You just made my day good sirs

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this build! I’ve always valued speech in a play through (maybe overvalued), but I always felt that getting those speech levels up early helped out tremendously in the later game. I feel like getting speech training and stealing the money back through pickpocket would suit this build perfectly too... which is what I always do. Thanks for another fantastic build, you guys! Hope you guys are staying safe in this weather.

you guys have the best builds they’re so original and exciting especially for people who’ve played this game to death !! keep up the great work !

I love the simplicity of this build it's got just enough teeth to compete but the know how to enjoy every bit of coin the other builds miss out on not my cup of tea but definitely a fun one

Thank you so much! We have been blessed with another Skypothesis build!

That is a most unusual build. Not quite my cuppa but high quality with that unique Skypotethis flair. I've also never seen the dwarven companions used as a build element before nor the serpent stone. Nicely done.

Love this build easily the most unique I’ve seen and it combines all my favorite things into one build

This character is less boring and perfect for flashy theft roleplay,smart and full of trickeries 👏

The perfect player home for this guy is a modded one : LC's Build Your Own Noble Home You literally live in a castle surrounded by guard and merchant who rent your land Plus there is a hidden treasure room thats you hang all the unique stuff you gather....and a chest that you can put gold and it will fill the room with gold

I love this kind of playstyles. Years ago I did something like this myself with a high speech character who relied solely on bought items such as food, potions, poisons, staves and spells. Speech by itself is highly underrated.

I like that this build focuses on the speech tree, which isn't typically seen. I love how the aesthetic includes the Dwarven spheres.

Damn good as always. I never thought about dwarven stuff as being gilded, but now I kinda see it. Trying to get Konahriik could also be a good goal since, well, its a mask made from gold. And if I recall correctly, you can actually see it just a little bit when its still locked in the sactum, so the roleplay is not too much of a stretch either.

Another amazing build! you guys are reviving peoples passion for Skyrim!

Amazing yet again!

By far one of my most favourable builds, a golden, speech, amplified thief-assassin. Good build!

This is awesome another fantastic build from you guys. I haven't bothered with the Thieves Guild questline in years so this would be a fun way to get back into it.

So great. I won’t play the majority of these builds, but you guys are proving that Skyrim isn’t a linear game or stealth archers, night blades, and warriors. There’s an infinite number of combinations to make unique characters. Keep it up!

Man this channel is amazing. It reminds of Tamriel Vault when it comes to the special powers, which is something any unique build should have. The characters look really good aesthetically, and all of them are really immersive. Keep it up guys, you have managed to be creative in a 10-year-old game 👏🏻

Awesome work once again!!! I love me a swindling thief build 😁

Love this season every build is amazing

My second walkthrough with one of your builds. I loved the roleplayability.

nice build ;) love the music every time

I’m so happy with these builds and your channel.

you guys made me install skyrim again and play with this awesome build!

i love the "special moves" for each build you do! keep up the good work guys.

Hey Skypothesis I absolutely love Your Videos. Especially the style Part, You talked about in Your podcast. I started this build today and I changed it just a little bit. Instead of archery, I used destruction only until apprentice, so the Art Thief is not overpowered. Please, keep up Your great work and the awesome looking characters combined with clothes, I haven't used once in my playthroughs. Thanks a Lot for keeping the magic of skyrim up. Greetings from Germany

Another amazing build ! Thanks to you, i recently began a new playtrough with a build inspired by The Stylite Storm, one of my favorite Skyrim build ever. Thanks you for your videos i hope you will make many more fantastics builds !

You guys are so creative. You rock!

Hey ! I would like to add a special move to this character: Dwemer Distraction "Wait" + Thrown voice Command your Dwemer sphere to wait, sneak to a good position and use the shout Thrown voice on it. This will allows you to loot the area and ran away while the sphere distract your ennemies. He learn this move from a certain breton collegue from the thieves guild who also find a dwemer friend to travel with her ;)

Never disappointed! Keep them coming!

I love this build! It'll only get better with some mods I have, but it's impressive how much personality can be squeezed out of vanilla.

Another fantastic build you guys!!

Another unique and immersive build 👏👏👏 Can't wait to see what you come up with next

Thank you for these videos!

The attention to detail in the backgrounds have got me lol

This is such a fascinating way of playing the game.

Uuuff, i missed your upload, noice build, as always

Wow, I have never actually seen someone make a build around the speech skill. Incredible

These videos make me so nostalgic 💞

I love the uniqueness of the Helgen situation, very smart

Once again you did not fail to impress

Very interesting build, awesome job! 👍

Love your videos currently doing another play through really like this one

Pretty sure this is the fastest I’ve ever become a fan of someone. Love you guys’ work (I left a few questions on the Volkihar Knight build, if it’s okay to say this here)

I love the crossbow

I love dwemer aesthetics. I even bought all the dwarven themed creation club. Arcane archery + arcane accessories and rare curiosity are a must

Reminds me of my DnD bard. Subscribed!!

Woohoo awesome build

Just tweak the roleplay a little... and you've got yourself a fine Santa build. The mostly red outfit, clockwork "toys" in the automatons, stealthily sneaking into places while taking or leaving things, a dislike of combat but willing to fight if needs be, charismatic. Just add some smithing and the creation club deer mount and its perfect

Love this build.

What is everyone’s favorite season 2 build? Mine actually might be this one or the reaver.

Only thing I would have changed, He needs a slight potbelly cause you know he is hitting the wine a bit more than he should. Outstanding build and story, an extremely fun twist on the thief game.

A new thief build please! I already finished my warchief playthrough, you guys make my favorite builds 😊

This build reminds me of a scene from Justice league. Flash: "so whats your superpower?" Batman: "Im rich."

It just now hit me. The one and only spell I think this guy would try his damndest to learn for himself. Transmute Mineral Ore. Take a guess why exactly he’d wanna learn that one.

I always skip the backstory cuz I always thought people who do back stories talk to much and it's always a Batman type stories where his parents died etc, but I seen it was only 3 minutes and it was interesting and not too long, just amazing.

Thank you for this exquisitely unique build. I think I'm going to roleplay as Bruce Wayne for this. Billionaire, philanthropist(only for the gift of charity bonus though), playboy by day, gliding through the plains of Skyrim as the Hooded Nightingale by night. Got to train up on daggers and the bow as well.

I like this backstory. It makes sense that he starts in Skyrim with an empty crime log since crime is measured in each hold seperately, so this might very well count for whole countries as well. How it comes he has to relearn all his speech skills I have no answer to. I love the red variant of the fine clothes used in this build. The colour suits the hood well.

He looks Like Ezio Auditore. Very cool build! Reminds me of My first Morrowind character, an Imperial who relied heavily on Personality and gold Just to survive hahaha

I'm gonna to create this dude on my skyrim !

This build is great.

This what I'm looking with dwemer steampunk medieval build. this is so good

To be honest with you, I never actually cared for roll playing, but your builds are changing that slowly but surely witch is rly good cuz skyrim is an RPG aka roll playing game so thanks and keep up with the amazing builds :)

They need a mod where you can play your instruments and sing while your summons are killing your enemies. Plus the song has some debuff effects on your enemies

this is right up my alley, has no alchemy and always has too much gold. gunna make me buy skyrim on pc now.

This one sounds pretty fun to play as. lol

I'm playing modded skyrim, but I swear this is exactly the character I've been trying to make. I've wanted a character who can fill out the museum in Legacy of the Dragonborn without breaking RP, and this one fits perfectly! All the character ideas I have typically are unable to justify either the stealth aspect of the thieves guild, or the evil actions in the brotherhood - but to complete the museum I need a character who is capable of completing all content the game has to offer. Once I've finally filled out that museum, I think the completionist in me will be happy to leave the mod behind so I can focus on roleplay again.

I see yoy may have got your inspiration from Fudgemuppets "The Magician" build, however managed to make a build without mods and unique to vanilla. Bravo.

Trying this one and the Daedric Warchief and the tree minder

Legacy of the dragonborn with that build would be wiiiiild

1:26 I thought you were going to say that the Art Thief only wanted three things: money, power and both.

I ended up adding alchemy to this character, mixing scaly phololita, mora tapinella, and creep clusters, and roleplaying it as him selling snake oil, because that mixture is really profitable, but has no practical use when consumed.

"Did you know you have art? Imperial constitution says you do."

Reminds me of Gopher's Leonard :)

Kind of reminds me of first build that devolved into a wandering librarian lol

I'm an artist and musician in real life, and I always build Bard themed characters as testament as it feels like a much more natural role playing experience, being that I'm playing the role of how I think I would be if I existed in the Elder Scrolls. Ironically, I created a similar build to this one, with a much more higher focus on the Arcane Arts, acquiring also every book in the game. I used Alchemy/Enchanting exploits to compensate for Carry Weight so I could carry every single book in the game, to imply all of that lore and Bardic knowledge was studied thoroughly by my character and all of that information was readily available as if he had memorized it. I actually killed Astrid as Thane of Solitude, as I don't have the heart to kill Narfi the beggar in Ivarstead, or Victorria Vicci because she's my next door neighbor in Solitude. I mastered every school of Magic, and have gone out of my way to acquire all the rarest items, such as the Skuldafn Dragon Priest Staff, and it never leaves my person. Being a Bard, it makes sense how you should be able to use the Voice as a primary gameplay mechanic so I also learned every shout and used the Talos Amulet exploit, because it makes sense that a Bard would use his voice more than any other class. A Chaotic Good lore seeker and treasure hunter is the best way to play, in my opinion.

I know what is said about shadow warrior but i took it and said its all about his imperial luck. (TBH i just cant live without the perk XD)

With anniversary edition having come out will you eventually do some more build videos

The power of money!

Hey, im sure these question comes late but anyway: Maybe is cause Im not english and I missed this part but, no armor at all? Just clothes? You just thrust in your bodyguards for the big battles of the game? Im just trying this build, cause I love everything of it and I want to make sure that I did get everything right

Damn your good

How did you manage to have the crossbow and dagger visible when sheathe? I love this build so much and I can’t wait to try it later!

This has to be your most creativ build (hope there will be anniversary version of this)

I put a little twist on the build for me that in his childhood he lived next to an alchemy prodigy who he became friends with his friend taught him the basics of alchemy so I use that to make money but use the gold to buy the poisons and invisibility potions

Enjoy the video.

Whas that a Hoid portrait i saw?

Yall should do a dragon centric build

Hey ,quick question... do you have some graphics mod? How did you make the hood not clip through the robes?

what mods do you guys use ik the builds are vanilla but i see the favorite weapons stay on your back mod ?

You may know this, but on the Tamriel Vault some people will submit special moves on their builds

Hello, I want to do this build myself but I don't get what hood are you using. I would be very grateful to know.

What character are you playing as

Very nice build is he wearing a novice mage hood for his hat?

what hood are you wearing with the wedding outfit?
