Builds and Challenges

Want to do something nice and fresh in skyrim? Tired of the humdrum, but don't want to stop playing this piece of work? Then, boy howdy, do I have a guide for you!

Introduction

I assume you clicked on this guide because skyrim is getting a bit drab. You want variety! Spice! Vim and vigor! Well, I just so happen to be making a compendium of builds and challenges for your skyrim characters. If you have a fun idea not listed, feel free to suggest one! As always, it is hard to do something of this magnitude alone, or without copying your neighbor. So here are some dedications. The guide wouldn't be the same without you.

MajorSlackAttack, for his Pure Thief Build

Thanks to you all. Now, without further ado, onto the strats!

Pure Thief

Thanks again to MajorSlackAttack!

A basic ruleset for the pure thief challenge!

Rule of Thumb: Everything we obtain must be stolen.

Extra Stipulations:
1. No exploits, cheesing of game mechanics, or any other challenge reducers. This means you, quicksave pickpocketing!
2. You cannot kill any people during the Thieves Guild Main Questline quests. Undead, Furying enemies into each other and animals are fine to kill during these quests.
3. No serving your time. If you get caught, either escape prison or resist arrest.

Exceptions:
1. Flagon is fair game for taking non-stolen items, as well as merchandise from it's vendors.
2. Any other guild-approved fences and Drevis Naloren, the illusion master at the College are also fine to barter with.
3. Quest rewards passed directly into the player's inventory are legal as well.
4. You can still train at trainers, or ride carriages.
5. The killing of the traitor in the Guild is legal, but only when requested of you.
6. Serving time can be used as a last ditch effort if all other tactics of escape fail.
7. Exceptions to the steal-only rule; Dragonstone and other questn items, Chillrend, Nightingale Armor and non-steal marked larceny targets, including the two eyes on the traitor's person.
8. Fence cleaning, or the act of fencing an item, then buying it back to remove the stolen tag, is legal, but any other stolen tag remover is banned.

Optional Challenges:
1. No killing people, at all.
2. Legendary difficulty, obviously.
3. Not serving time, even in bleak scenarios.

Basic Strategy: Illusion is your friend! Causing enemies to attack one another, cloaking and muffling yourself, and calming those guards who witnessed you steal 30 wheels of cheese are all very useful skills to have, especially with the three optional challenges. Fence cleaning is also a good idea, and I think it's an expensive enough "exploit" to be considered legal. Other than that, stay hidden, which is not that hard considering you have Invisibility and Muffle, and it's skyrim. Let's be real.

Skyrum (Alcoholic Run)

Shoddy puns aside, a little number I cooked up. The world of Skyrum is a debauchered place, and one can only get glimpses in their drunken stupor.

Rule of Thumb: Player must remain under the effects of alchohol for as long as possible.

Extra Stipulations:

1. Nothing can be done if not drunk. Quests, fighting, exploring. All new stuff must be done drunk.
2. You must win the drinking challenge in "A Night to Remember"
3. Alcohol is numero uno! You buy mead before all else!

Exceptions:

1. Allowed actions while sober; Bartering, Pickpocketing, Performing (If you have Ordinator), Eating, Drinking, Sleeping, and it all has to be done in a discovered town.

Thanks for Reading

If you enjoyed it, drop a like, maybe pin it for easy acess? Or go the extra mile and suggest some more builds and challenges! Of course, cedit will be given where credit is due. Thank you for reading, and be sure to be on the lookout for more challenges in this guide, and other guides by yours truly!

that was barely anything and you took one from another person what was the point

[Squaffle]

What about a trapper build?

Can use a bow and sword/spear. Must make money by hunting animals and selling their pelts. Can only wear hide and leather armour that you have made yourself

[SomethingStupid]

lol that's it?

Guide is a pretty barebones, should add more builds.
