Give me a ridiculous build please

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:39 am

Make a character that only attacks by using shield bash. You could use a defense buffing or healing spell in the other hand, but you can only damage enemies using the shield.

I don't think that's unusual, and is certainly not impossible, I had one like that for one. It's certainly fun, but pain in the ass to get to on Master.

Is this possible? : o

With Restoration on 100 yes, Bane of the Undead will set undeads on fire. Can't recall if any other spell does though.

Make a Khajiit Battlerager, based on the DnD prestige class of the same name. Battleragers kill their opponents by jumping on them and thrashing wildly with their spiked and ridged heavy armor, as well as throwing punches with spiked gauntlets, leaving nothing left but a pile of bloody goo.

Heavy Armor's Reflect Blows perk is perfect for this build, especially coupled with the spiky daedric armor :). You should level smithing and enchanting to buff your gear as much as possible, as you will need all the damage boosts you can get.

To add a little more gameplay variety, you could level destruction for the cloaks and runes.

Well,i can give you the name of one of my best characters as an "inspiration" if you want: Ulfric StormCock

He pretends to be "the real" Ulfric (considering that this last is a pip-squeak perhaps he's not even wrong :biggrin: ) he drinks only nord mead and misogyny its the only "religion" he knows (apart from Talos of course)

Spoiler
in fact after that particular quest he had exterminated even the Dibella workshippers

Make him wander naked in the land with only a two handed sword and have fun exterminating all imperials,forsworns and Thalmor .. :biggrin: or being exterminated by them... :tongue:

Drake malice's "the trickster" its so fun; You never kill but causes the death of your enemies by using illusion. Hes but out a challenge for people to get to lv.30 without leveling up any combat skills. I'm level 16 and am a level 26 in archery only cause I'm a hunter. I'm doing the dark brotherhood questline and I'm killing people useing frenzy and stuff. Can't wait to get ciceros clothes to really be a trickster!

Play a drunk. Only use ragged cloth and no weapons (no rings, amulets, any form of armor or anything). You can't sneak, enchant, alchemy, smith or anything that require you to focus on what you do. Put all points in stamina so you can "hold your liquer" becaus you need to have an alchohol effect active at least once ever IRL 5 min. You can't use your money to buy anything else than alchohol and some food (sell everything you have that is not a liquid)

If you want to have real fun play on master.

This sounds like a great idea!

I'll have to try this sometime.

Honestly I don't see the unarmed suggestions to be a "ridiculous build", unarmed even on master difficulty is extremely powerful at low levels as a Khajiit or Argonian, and I mean like 3-4 hits and enemies go down.

Play a Don Quixote who's baffled by the lack of spears and is roaming the map on horse trying to convince people that the spear is not a myth.

And hang around the windmills and try to find one of those golden colored dwemer bowls and try putting it on your head. When that fails put it on the head of an NPC and see if it works like a bucket. Tell them it is a golden helmet.

Be a complete and utter spineless abject coward, every time your attacked run off Monty python style, use followers(you will get through a lot of these) and conjuration, oh and maybe sneak, call him ''rimmer''.

  • Shield + Fist
  • Spell + Fist
  • Talos build = Heavy Armor, only fists and shouts, Amulet of Talos + Blessing of Talos for maximum Shout regen
  • Magic Swordsman (doing it wrong) = 1 (bound) sword, no armor, only protection from Mage Armor perks and Restoration
  • Le Damage Sponge = maximum points on Health and maximum Fortify Health enchants

Make a character who only uses sneak, pickpocket, & alchemy.
Kill exclusively by picking poisons onto people.
i have a char like this.

also put no perks in armor.

no points into health.

I did use archery untl I could zoom in, because that is important tactically.

as a final twist use no magic whatsoever.

A new build I've been having fun with:

Captain Haafingar:

Race: Nord
Main Skills: Blocking, Heavy Armor, Alteration (For Telekinesis) and Enchanting (To lower the cost of Alteration and to give Unarmed boosts)

Basically give your character a Shield (Shield of Solitude will probably work very well considering the design and title of "Captain Haafingar." Punch your enemies or use Telekinesis to throw your shield at your opponents.

Should join the Bard's College so you can sing your theme song when you go into battle:

When Captain Haafingar throws his mighty shield
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield
If he's led to the Dov and a duel is due
Then the Fus and Ro and the Dah'll will shine through
When Captain Haafingar throws his mighty shield!!!

I made a fun character which turned out to be my main one actually.

I only use conjuration and a shield no offensive weapon and no spells other then conjuration. No potions and no crafting and play on hard. Makes for some crazy fights.
