Looking for a Challenge?

Tired of using a character that simply charges into battle head on, or sneaks around and kills one at a time? Then try this out:

Using http://www.ign.com/builds/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim/create?d=00000000000000000011111111111110000000000000000000000000000010111111121111131111130000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000510001 character (spending the rest of the perks wherever you please), try and beat the main quest on expert difficultly. You're magic/health/stamina should be like this: 3/1/1 (for every three points into magic, put one into health and one into stamina).

This character forces you to use tactics in order to survive, like casting Fury as a detraction, then making yourself invisible to sneak past the enemy. Or maybe use Oakflesh followed by Rout so you can slash the baddies as they run, and won't have to worry about some random arrows from the cowards friends.

This is just an idea, feel free to criticize as you see fit.

Not really a challenge since you have Illusion in there.

Frenzy/Mayhem everything to kill itself or Calm everything to leave you alone. :rolleyes:

I am currently playing a character who can only Shout in combat, wears only non-enchanted cloth and an Amulet of Talos, and only raises Speech, Lockpicking, and Smithing (for money). I named him Gilbert Goddfried.

Good point. But I'm not sure how to fix that, the entire idea is to use all the non-damage dealing lores. So getting rid of Illusion wouldn't work. Just would have to limit yourself with the Illusion spells I guess.

Also, that challenge for your own character must be incredibly hard, specially cause the time between shouts is pretty long even with the Amulet of Talos.
