Hello and welcome back to Skypothesis! We're super excited to showcase this Skyrim completionist build with you all. Dragon Priest builds are always a blast to play, and we had fun taking our own unique spin on the concept. For more standard versions of this archetype, we recommend checking out Fevvy's and Fudgemuppet's Dragon Priest build videos. It's always fun to see others' ideas!
This build marks an important milestone for us -- thirty fully-vanilla Skyrim builds across five seasons. We're going to be diving back into the Anniversary Edition now, so be on the look out for more builds in the future!

I had a similar build. I did the king that Ulfric Stormcloak shouted to death. I role-played that the shout didn't kill him but rather sent him through a time loop that aged him and dropped him on the road where the imperials picked him up. It ended with him being tempted by power in becoming a dragon priest.

As always, I enjoyed the backstory and lore. It was neat seeing the story start in Bruma. I like the dynamic aspect of this character, following him from his birth and young adulthood in Bruma and into his adulthood in Skyrim. I liked seeing his story progression and character development. I love how the special moves were learned from previous characters in the Skypothesis universe. I think my favorite aspect of your builds is your attitude, which is how I approach my own character creation: “The game doesn't give us very much to go on but that means more room for interpretation.” Thank you for another great season and I look forward to the next! ❤

Awesome build guys! Loved how the backstory tied in with the Rebel, another one of my favorite builds you’ve made. I’ve always liked Nord builds the best. Playing as a Nord in Skyrim just feels right, and when role playing a character, allows you to feel a deep connection to the land and it’s people.

This is my favorite channel, by far. It's just so good. Yall have amazing story telling skills. Absolutely wonderful. I've had so many good ideas because of yall now. I made a rogue Dark Elf swordsman, using yalls Redoran Swordmaster as inspiration. Before this channel, I only ever made variants on Nord characters, now I've broken out and made many interesting characters I would never have played before. I've made orc warrior poets, a Breton youth who joined the Vigilants to prove his worth, a Wood Elf Thalmor Agent.

@Muyshtic 4 ай бұрын

You could try something like how I did, I started out being a sneaky build, and went for most of the evil quests (mostly to collect all daedra artifacts) then roleplay it as my character being desperate for power and tired of feeling week. Then overtime my characters learns more about all the dragon priests and powerful figures that eventually fall or be betrayed by their patrons no matter how powerful they are, and decides that they would instead try to break the chain and be the ninth priest that tries to protect and befriend as many people as he could, and rely on himself and his companions rather than the powers of artifacts and morally ambiguous beings. I put off the main quest quite a long time and went around doing as much of the forced evil side quests and evil factions as much as I could before continuing with the main quest and other faction/side quests since they are the perfect roleplay ways to head cannon my character coming to a realization and go down the path of redemption and atone for past sins

Well, that was a lot to take in. 🙂 I noted before that the Swordmaster's backstory created the potential for what turned out to be the Dawn Knight. But really it's a testament to how well you two have narratively populated Skyrim -- that potential for a character to play off others is _always_ there. Here, I love the connection to the Redmanes (or Red-Manes?), and the simple catalyst that provides for Konahrik to travel to Skyrim. It's a great way to establish a completionist playthrough, and you also kept things tied together well through the whole progression. I love that you put together Pieces of the Past, the Stormcloaks, and the Brotherhood. It's cool to see the Bound Battleaxe get its time to shine, too. I'd be interested to see more of the multi-phase approach for future builds (though not every time since it takes more work).

For the next season I think there is a good template in this character. Which is roughly outlining the "phases" of a character. Often while playing this builds I kind of get lost like when should I get gear, what should I level first. When should I be doing various quest lines ect. While it's nice to have freedom it's also nice to have a rough outline for characters timeline to better organize what I'm doing and need to do so I don't get lost building a house and going on merchant loop runs for hours on end and forgetting to actually play the game and kit my character lol

Awesome! I've often thought about the limits of kitting out a character early on and have experienced that plateau feeling you describe. Its cool to see your take on a character's evolving aesthetic/playstyle/identity. It all blends together so seamlessly. This was a real treat. Also I don't know if you've seen the anime 'Monster,' but now I'm imagining a build similar to Dr Tenma, but as your Bruma courtmage. Alerted of Konharik's descent, regretful of letting his existence continue, and now trying to trace his steps, and relieve the chaos Konharik's sewn.
