I have a quick question regarding:
When you say "Based on Classic TES builds" do you mean just condensing them to six skills, or are we allowed to, say, swap out one of the skills? |

Thanks Thorny.. Bram, yeah that's ONLY during Prep-time ... I probably should do my out-lines different.. and I will in the future.. 1) General a) specific.. instead of * & - But other than using an Alternate start.. one can't use a house til regular play time... except 360 and PS3 players.. and you can't use an Alternate start with Prep time... Sakiri... if you just look at it as "your 6 skill build, with speech and lock-picking" regular "cart Start"...(which you get 500 bonus points for) start on Feb 4th and run 40 hr's...up until Feb 24th... The only thing complicated is mods... and IF you don't want those.. just use the regular graphic's and body mods.. patches...etc.. Then the game is back to very uncomplicated... It's all in the way you look at it. Pretty much I am running my exact same build.. cart start on Expert. |

Truthfully, I don't believe "classic TES" builds match up very well with the limited number of skills allowed in this Skyrim Playthrough, so there has to be alternatives for most of them. I mean Classic builds have many more skills as part of their makeup given the "main" skills and the secondary skills. Don't we really mean an approximation of classic TES builds? Considering that Smithing doesn't exist classically speaking, eh? My own choice is a version of Spellsword except I have Light Armor instead of Heavy, and I don't have Alteration or Illusion... and I do have Smithing. The "classic" Spellsword has seven skill slots though... |

The 2 freebies one is of your choice, just can't be perked, so that makes 7 skills, 8 really with the 2nd freebie... Neil... Based on really just gives a general Idea.... ie I based my home design on a Classic Frank Lloyd Wright design, but with "Green power".. ie it look's like something he would have built, but has difference.. that is the way I mean "based on" Edit" but I can change the wording if given a better way to put it....

Areial, we have a whole bunch of builds Kane has posted all together a few times. Those could be put under a spoiler tag as examples that folks could use as spring board for their own build with the header stating "Here are some examples of what is meant by Classic TES builds with the skills available in Skyrim." Just an idea, not meaning to make work for you. :$ Edited by Brambleberry, Feb 1 2017, 01:16 PM.

Yeah, that was the way I personally interpreted "based on"... I was really just responding to CT's question... but you were posting as I was writing, eh? :) |

You do know that your build is..your build... it doesn't have to be strictly based on "classic" builds. Those were just suggestions...and I really didn't answer your question and the answer is.. yes you can swap a skill out from the "Classic" build to what you want. |

Yeah, it's almost impossible to re-create a class from the earlier games, since those classes involved a bunch of skills that no longer exist, like Acrobatics, Athletics, Mysticism, Mercantile, Spear, Blunt, Unarmored, Unarmed, Short Blade, Climbing, Thaumaturgy, Etiquette, Dodging, Medical... Best we can do is to try to put together a coherent "pseudo-class," in the spirit of classes. |

I think i'll got with my tank build, but switch Enchanting for Alteration: One-Handed Block Heavy Armor Smithing Alteration Restoration *Speech *Lockpicking Do we have a time frame for this round, or we're still debating? Edited by After Dark, Feb 1 2017, 09:00 PM.

If I've gotten it right, you can start now for your 20 hour prep time if you want, but the official 40 hours begins Feb 4th. |

:thumb: correct, you can start the 20 hr prep now if you want, the 40 hrs starts Feb 4th... 3 week time period, cause not everyone started their 20 already... so Feb 24th at 6 am yer time is end. I or Richard will get up the Official Thread tomorrow sometime. ... I work 7-4pm.... so if Richard can't get to it, I will... exact rule list may come the next day... cause I haven't got it sorted and sent to Richard yet...and I'm at work now, so... I'll work on it a bit when I get home. |

With the massaging of the roolz I've tweaked muh build a bit. Playing a Spellblade still, but with the following skills: One-handed Light Armor Alteration Destruction Smithing Enchanting (Speechcraft) (Alchemy) - my alternate freebie changed from Lockpicking. Will post my oh fish all character entry blah blah once the thread competition thread is up! ;) |

HAH! My Spellsword is exactly like yours, but entirely different! :meh: Mine has: One-handed Light Armor Destruction Restoration Block Smithing (Speechcraft) (Lockpicking) I WANTED to trade lockpicking for Enchanting, but my willpower failed at the thought of the cage containing the novice hood and robes... Then came thoughts of the locked chest in Embershard, the locked chest in the Smuggler's Cave, the locked Master chest at Whasisname's Rest, the locked door in the forsaken Cave, the locked chest in Shroud Hearth Barrow... well, you get the idea... anyway, Enchanting went right out the window. :) Hey, does anybody know if there are any Thane quests in Whiterun aside from Dragon Rising? The if not then Amren's sword should be fair game as well as the Amulet in the Hall of the Dead, right? |

You're Thane after dragon rising. You can buy property after dragonstone. Pretty sure you can't do either in the prep time. |
