![]() I figured hold guards would have some rudimentary smithing knowledge to maintain their weaponry and armor, unfortunately guard armor benefits from no perks so be sure to brew up a smithing potion when tempering your gear.Īlchemy will be kept pretty basic, I won’t be venturing into the poison territory of the tree at all but I may take a few perks of experimenter as I feel that guards may like to nibble on random stuff while venturing on longer campaigns. This was my guard at level 25, skills have all been kept pretty balanced. Obviously the Shield of Solitude is going to be the prized item of this build, it’s a levelled item so we want to be level 40+ when we pick it up. Obtaining hold armor is actually more difficult than it looks there are only a few dead hold guards scattered around the game, sometimes I had to allow dragons to eat them to get my new armor set, sneezing a guard off the nearest cliff also works nicely (Unrelenting Force). The goal is simple become thane of every hold starting at Whiterun and finishing in Solitude, that’s a pretty big list of things to do unless you’re doing crappy missions like chopping wood. This is a great build for doing all the miscellaneous and radiant quests. “I’d be a lot warmer and a lot happier with a bellyful of mead” I also placed heavy emphasis on the shield wall perk which can absorb obscene amounts of damage if looked after properly and opens up some neat combat tactics.Ĭompanions are a welcome addition to this build and any that joined up with me were given a spare set of hold armor, with an attack dog in toe I had myself a little patrol squad to police the holds of Skyrim. This build will adopt kamikaze style gameplay by using alchemy as a support skill, typical battles will be won by brute force as you literally drown yourself in healing potions and hack away like a madman. Guards actually have a pretty competent skill set making them dangerous at any range and I’ve done several playthroughs with below average armor so I knew I’d be kicking butt in style once I’d levelled the appropriate skills. For this build I decided to live my life as one of these nutters and wear each one of the various hold armors as I slowly conquered Skyrim. The guards have always amused me, I love watching them charge into battle screaming insults at dragons and sounding their funny little bone horns. ![]() ![]() Major Skills: One Handed, Archery, Block, Light Armor. You look him in the eye as you staunch the blood with your hands. Summoning your remaining strength you lean forward and with a cry of pain tear the projectile out with your teeth, spitting the bloody arrow head at the feet of the captive next to you. As you struggle to sit up you feel an agonizing pain and stare in horror at the shaft of an arrow protruding from your knee. You come to in a battered cart somewhere in southern Skyrim, your uniform has been stripped and it appears you’ve been taken captive by an unknown force. I realised I’d only ever been the thane of Whiterun and thought it was time to take a crack at the other holds, this called for a specific type of character. Those who have checked out my other builds may have noticed that I’m very keen on aesthetically pleasing characters I believe it’s important to look the part.
