So the antithesis of the volkihar knight is his eldest brother.. The Saturalia family reunion’s gonna get pretty heated, ain’t it?

So he's the eldest brother of the Volkihar Knight, the apprentice of the Redoran Swordmaster and a friend of the Sunfire Herald.... The lore is getting deeper and I love it!

*The raid on Volkihar Castle raged on in the background, the Dawnguard finally getting a major foothold and were able to breech the defenses, the Dawn Knight runs in steadfast in the name of Stendarr and the world, cutting down the vile undead in his path, when he reached the throne room he notices the already dead body of his main enemy, Lord Harkon, on the ground next to the throne, a dark crimson armored knight sits on the throne with a blade of blood to his side and his helmet on the other, he walks out and the Dawn Knight is shocked at the sight* "Brother....."

"When in roleplaying doubt use the skyrims guard hat." No matter your chacter the city guard helmet is always a good choice.

Love seeing the paths of these characters crossing and fleshing out each other's stories

All I can say? There were *three* brothers. So there is most certainly a third build in the works to complete this trio. 🤫

Skypotheosis: "our favorite part of every build, the special moves" Me: "can't wait to see how they incorporate their other builds into the backstory/roleplay."

So, three brothers. One serves the Light, one serves the darkness, and the third might be a future build? 🤔 Hmm... I wonder...

If you wanna add to the lore and explain how all of these character you've created end up as dragonborn you could say a dragonbreak occured at the point of Alduins return splitting the timeline into where each one becomes dragonborn.

The Knights battle with his vampiric brother will be legendary

Wait, is this the brother of the volkahar Knight? I love the backstory connections in your builds

I absolutely love this. The connection to the Volkihar Knight is great, and as someone who plays melee builds with Restoration, this is totally my thing. I like the emphasis on stamina regen to fuel the Rune Shield. Gives it a purpose that otherwise could be covered by vegetable soup. The use of greatsword and shield is great, mixes up the gameplay a bit. This guy could actually use the Rune Axe and Runehammer as well. Surely the stamina regen would synergise so well with rune hammer bashes? I think Alteration would likely need to be taken to get this guy up and running on Legendary difficulty. Magic resist, and a much needed armor buff go a long way. Especially as he takes the Lady stone, and not the Lord stone. Love this character, the story, the cinematics, everything. One of my absolute favourites, and that's saying something.

This new season has got me back into Skyrim, haven’t played in months and now I can’t stop playing again

Always enjoyed your content...

Just a tip for anyone making a Shield Using Build, Deflect Arrows maxes your shield defense, so there's no reason to invest more than 1 perk in shield wall :)

Highlight of my day. 😃 On the Swordmaster video, I mentioned there was potential for playing the prideful student on a journey to better himself. And here we are! It's a testament to the Swordmaster's backstory creating that intuitive potential for another character (though this build may have already been around when that one was conceived). I've been thinking of playing a character along these lines recently, albeit with an outfit that would throw off the armor perks, so I may have to save that. I love the inclusion of the rune shield and the associated focus on stamina. That, along with the greatsword, is a nice way for the Knight to honor his mentor.

No way, I was thinking of making a character with this exact vibe just yesterday, it's like you guys read my mind 😅

Lovely! This idea you guys are executing with interaction between characters you’ve made before is very immersive from the story telling POV and I can’t get enough it

I love the inclusion of old builds into the backstory! The Skypothesis Cinematic Universe lol. Hoping we get to see the Shroud of Coldharbour in someone’s backstory soon, he’s always been my favorite

Amazing build, but I think this character deserves his own description :P Thank you for all the videos

Started out as the Volkihar knight. Didn't like being a vampire. Rolled back a save. Switched illusion skill points and perks (through the console) to restoration and joined the Dawnguard. Much fun 👍

Skypothesis never disappoints 🙌

So happy you guys are back! Hope your enjoying college lads, your stuff is amazing

That was a long wait, glad to see the channel return!

When you see previous characters in the new videos: "Oh yes, it's all coming together" Seriously though, it's really cool to see this subplot, if you will, unveil here, with and/or between the characters. I actually imagine something like that, when creating characters in RPGs. Surely, we are not the only ones though)

yeah gonna need a video of the lore now. Like how all the characters are connected, I love the nods to each other and it really paints a story.

When it was time for the special moves, I was expecting this bad boy would inherit some moves from the Redoran Swordmaster's repertoire

Silver Greatsword my favorite

It's going to be a good knight tonight

Loving the content and how layered it's getting! Keep up the great work!

I really love the concept of a character who can switch between a defensive mode and a aggresive mode and which the gameplay is all about the balance of these two. It's really appealing to me and to have started a playtrought with this guy, a blast to play at the very beggining of the game. It's a build which can charge in a group of ennemies but still require thought to not be destroyed. My favorite builds of yours are the one who require thought and strategy to be effective like The Saxhleel Vagabond or The Whiteskull Warlock and i think this guy is a serious candidate for my personal top 5 ! Because it can be fun to play on automatic pilot, but never on the long term. Great build and great video ! I can't wai't to see what you have in store for next week, this character is really encouraging for the rest of the season !

This video has literally only been out for about 2 days yet I’ve already studied it like it’s scripture so I can play this character. No other Skyrim build has made me want to do that before.

woooooaaahhh there's so many refernces to the past builds i love it thank you so much for giving us another incredible build

Amazing build, fellas! Happy to see you continuing these, even vanilla.❤

Ooh I can't wait to see a build about the middle brother, great build guys!

I love this cinematic universe you guys are building

As always you never fail to achieve a great build,and the way the story arc ties in to previous builds is brilliance, thanks for always going that extra mile for your fans

I love the integration of each and every character build the these amazing people made in with the stories of multiple other build videos that they've made and it is quite impressive

This may very well be my new favorite build!

this build is awesome! been trying to get back into skyrim and this helps a ton!

when I heard the Lady stone my first thought was: "For Ze Lady!"

A few unique twists on one of my favorite playstyles! Also love the background crossovers. Looks like you guys are developing your own extended cinematic universe.

Awesome character build. The connection to previous builds is impressive and well thought out. I'm guessing the bookish middle Brother will possibly be a pure mage build we may see in a future season. This season is shaping up nicely, first expanding the Whiteskulls and now the second of three Breton brothers. I am interested in seeing what is in store for next week.

My god, this is perfect. I was trying to come up with a build that was mechanically the opposite of the Volkihar Knight, but it being a direct dichotomy is 100% what I need. And the fact that you guys keep mentioning the middle brother who will be some kind of Julianos centric wizard has me so dang excited.

It’s great to see another build from you! As always, I love the backstory! I like the tie-in to previous characters in the Skypothesis universe. I love the “questing” aspect of the Dawn Knight since that’s a known behavior typical of many Bretons. The combination of greatsword with shield and restoration magic is unique and a cool way to integrate the Dawnguard rune shield into gameplay.

Hey glad to see y’all posting again

Another amazing build, they never miss.

College has been kicking my ass lately so it's really nice to wake up to one of these and just relax for a little bit every Friday, thanks guys, keep up the amazing content

This is beyond awesome, I was waiting for you guys to put a paladin-ish build together. Going to try it out (maybe sticking to s&s and spell instead of 2h, as playing on the Switch makes changing favourites with no key shortcuts rather cumbersome). Great work!

A new epic Skypothesis build AND a new Fevvy vid? This day just gets better and better!

Love it! The Divine Crusader light armor + Chrysamere might be a fun final aesthetic/reward for defeating the vampire threat! Like a gift from the divines. Wouldn’t have nearly as good perks as the self enchantments though! Can’t wait to give the build a go!

Found the new season because of a rewatch of the Redoran Swordmaster and the mention here just adds to why I like how the backstory is done in these builds. The callbacks and relations existing in the same world is a great reward for sticking around the channel and coming back. Even without that, the presentation and music can be pretty immersive that I like to give that section a chance. And that's when the meat of the build/initial appeal is in the appearance and gameplay. Just seeing this made me wanna go back to the Volkihar Knight that was so long ago. So far in my personal stuff my ideas live together but logically are separate. No reason to really imagine any significant relations. Maybe I could imagine the occasional minor crossover like in the background but nothing like this. Keep it up with the creativity and passion.

Epic! love the connections putting your own lore in the lore if you will. Unfortunately my pc keeps over heating and won't let play Skyrim at the moment but hopefully I will get my new cooling in fan in a few days( its a special small pc so it needs a small cooling fan to be sent). I take a lot of inspiration from your builds and the way you are building on your own lore is great.

These builds and stories are so good. I was happy to see the redoran swordsman again. He's still my favorite so far

These guys are building the SCU (Skyrim Cinematic Universe)

The lore.........Awesome and the fact you have connected them well done my good sir

You guys are incredible!

Very nice build, guys! Makes me wanna play the Dawnguard dlc once again!

So glad that you guys are back! Paladins/warriors are my favorite characters. That was some terrific backstory guys, keep it up!

Great video. Looking forward to some magic-centric builds down the road!

Let’s go!!! Great build guys!

Everytime I start playing skyrim and watching your videos I somehow end up falling asleep. I suppose the audio in these videos is soothing like a good audio book, damnit.

I love how these builds are a connected lore!

This is by far your best build yet. I can’t wait to do this build but the only change is I’ll make is the name to Van Helsing

Really cool to see a knight build in light armour, that stamina regen is sick!

Amazing!!!!! And I love the fact that they are a family

You and your brother remind me of Gandalf and Sauroman respectively and i think it adds to the entertainment

Wow long time fan and just saw this one! If you remember me at all I love a witcher / undead slayer type! You guys are really pumping these out now! With no loss in quality or depth, very awesome :) I still think the Witch Killer crossbow build is by far the best build in all aspects yall have made with this being a close second! I just had some random thoughts what if the next season of builds were -themed (ex: Thor. I currently have a dark elf tentatively named Dragonborn of War who washed a shore skyrim after leaving greece - Choose your adventure (using your community and polling have the viewers narrow down selections for builds for you to master into its own unique thing) -Lore Building ( as in more characters that act as background and lore building for the other builds you've made like this builds relationships to others) If anyone wanted a Perfect witcher in Skyrim this combined with the Witch-Killer is going to play so nicely 👌

This is awesome I’ve been really wanting to roleplay a holy knight like character!

This is probably my favorite build you guys have done, for now at least lol. I’ve always loved the holy warrior/crusader aesthetic and I always try to play as paladins in fantasy RPGs if possible.

Skypothesis universe. LET'S GOOOO!

The Skypothiverse is growing

I have not played Skyrim in months. After seeing this video, I am starting a play through TODAY.

Splendid build!

Could yall make a righteous vampire build? Maybe one that seeks to destroy the Dawnguard for hunting him down, out of self preservation, but who hates Harkon on moral grounds? Perhaps they're an ancient vampire who sees their vampirism as a curse and seeks to understand the reason for which they may have turned, finding themselves in Skyrim and in the midst of the Dragonborn Prophecy and finally discovering why they were granted their unnaturally long life

I see you creating a little skypothevers. 💪 nice.

It always brightens my day to see ya'll post, good luck in college

Hey skypothesis one of your first subscribers here great to see your back awesome.

Very nice video as always, this channel provides my favourite builds ever on Skyrim !! I really like the aesthetic of your game, very close to vanilla with better textures and lights, could we have a list of the graphic mods you use in your showcases ?

Great build guys! Will definitely be trying it out soon. By the way, if you're taking suggestions and whatnot, how about a High Elf Templar based on the class from ESO? Maybe he could be a champion of Auriel or something.

Would love to see builds focused around the Skyrim together mod

Best Skyrim build channel

I absolutely love these videos and always get hyped to watch them even if I can't make some of them, just seeing the breakdown of each other them is great. I am also curious as to how you make clips such as these or how you could accomplish it on a console. Would you play on a lower difficulty and take away the HUD?

Nice. I love paladin builds. Maybe try a Silver Hand build with the Vigilant armor?

Cool build, I've wanted to do a Dawnguard Paladin type ever since I started playing with Adamant Perks on PS4, it adds plenty of restoration perks to boost sun and ward spells

I love knight type builds infact I made a modded paladin build recently and a vanilla paladin build in oblivion which is really fitting in that game

Gorgeous Aesthetic! Also quite tanky with good armor rating (possibly maxed after 40) and magic resistance of around 65% (25 or so for the ring , 25 race, 15 for agent of mara) a little light on damage do to silver weapons but since you play on adept or master, it won't be a serious issue. Very well done.

I will say this again & again! You two need to be hired by Bethesda to make the stories for all their games! Your builds are beyond EPIC! The stories you tell are Pure Awesomeness, HANDS DOWN!!!!

I love your builds! id like to see y'all make. a true nordic dragonborn build

This is awesome I hope the third brother will be an upcoming build as well.

I'm working on this build now and I didn't even know you existed until now

Can't wait to see the third brother!

Thank you friends

I use the firey soul trap in many instances from thief to combat mage just for the added benefits of constantly using that daedric blackstar to keep my main weapon enchanted without stopping or spending worthwhile coin I justify it as him using the forces of evils defeat to continue to intervene on behalf of the divines

amazing build!!!!

I knew it, I knew we’d get to meet the Redoran swordmaster’s apprentice! One question: have we already met the third brother, or will we get to meet him later?

skypothiverse confirmed 👍

I think mixing the steel spell knight and steel plate armor for this build would look pretty cool!

Always nice to see the silver swords used, they are so pretty and sadly people ignore them as they are not very good.

Finally, a good roleplay. I, too, returned to vanilla Skyrim. The anniversary edition on my PS4 crashed all the time and all the creation stuff meant being bothered by all those couriers! I hate couriers! Too many builds require Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood quests and gear. No thank you! So thanks for this. Now all I need is a good Breton name.....
