You know... becoming a hero in the legion but then assassinating the emperor would be the ultimate homage to both Mephala AND Boethiah. Imagine walking into the chamber of Titus Mede II in the armor of the legion, face uncovered, the hero of the empire come to destroy it from the inside out.

Couple of other possibilities: - Agent of Diabella in Markarth for the femme fatale aspect. -Since you are head of the cult of the spider goddess, use the forge on Solstheim to craft spiders and throw them at everyone.

[@asterodon]

I love this build already Edit 1: if a shout was to be used for this build, I think Aura Whisper fits really well. Not only is it useful but it also fits with the whole, Mephala's Champion vibe as she is sometimes called 'The Whispering Lady' Edit 2: alternatively, for those with Anniversary Edition, you could use the Grey Cowl and roleplay you stealing it from Nocturnal to please Mephala, which is something I did in my playthrough with this build

[@Rewwgh]

Oooh, a good catch!

[@roonkolos]

That and maybe throw voice as well especially since both are quietly casted and have some rather nice utility

[@exemplar7205]

also one mod i would highly recommend for this character is wintersun so you can worship Mephala during the playthrough and get powers for it as well, would really help with the roleplay especially at the idea of pleasing and displeasing her depending on whether you stick to her tenants.

[@jasondowdy0311]

If you are like me and keep almost anything you find, you can use the "Torturers Hood" gained by killing the torturer in Helgen at the beginning of the game. It is a brown hood that can be enchanted, fitting the aesthetic and making good use of the helmet slot.

[@talon4618]

This is a fantastic build as always and your series has inspired me to experiment with mods and in-game mechanics to see if I can make a crazy build. I was successful in this when, with four specific mods, I made my own Skyrim build while basing the theme off the Dark Crusader. He is a religious Imperial monster hunter named Lexus Talion (the name is based off the Roman term "lex talionis," or the law of retaliation, otherwise known as "an eye for an eye"), and he is known throughout Cyrodiil and Skyrim as Lexus the Undying. The reason Lexus gained such a title is because, with the four mods I mentioned, I created a character who can come back from death four whole times. Andromeda Standing Stones - The Lover Stone grants the user the ability to cheat death when slain, a passive ability called "Undying Love." With another mod, Classic Classes and Birthsigns, you can get the Lover Stone power at the very start of your playthrough. Wintersun Faiths of Skyrim - When devoted to Arkay (which ties with Lexus' character and lore), the devotee can revive with full health upon taking fatal damage, a passive ability called "Arkayn Cycle." You can pray to recharge this "node" of revival, though it costs 15% favor, which you can easily regain. Vokrii Minimalistic Perks - If your Restoration skill is high enough, you can unlock a perk called "Intervention." Once every 30 minutes, a higher power (we can assume this is Arkay) brings you back with full health upon death. Reliquary of Myth - By acquiring the RoM version of the Gauldur Amulet, you gain an increase to your Health, Magicka, and Stamina by 30 points, and each regenerate 15% faster. The Knowledge of Gauldur unlocks the ability to resurrect with full Health once every 20 minutes. With this combination of mods, I have effectively created a character that can cheat death multiple times through legitimate methods without delving into necromancy or becoming an undead. Faith and love never die!

[@KonoGufo]

Lexus Talion is a pretty badass name, gotta say

[@M0ggea]

[@Jaylee-ij9mo]

I also like to imagine that you enter the nightingales in order to deceive nocturnal and get/use the skeleton for yourself. It definitely fits with mephala treachery

[@carlborneke8641]

My god that backstory and the narration was absolutely fantastic. Seriously if this woman did a full audiobook about the character I would buy it in an instant.

[@undinae]

A perfect build for me - I'm already role playing her in my head! I like playing a dunmer and I often go for stealth archer gameplay. Archery is generally my best skil even at low levels, and I love the stealth mechanic in Syrim. I'm going to get her started today. Many thanks.

[@Just_Shadai]

This is probably the best Skyrim build video that you guys have done in my opinion with the voice acting and it gives the stealth archer a nice twist that most people would say is boring but this makes it’s much more enjoyable

[@Syncuno]

Dope new build! And super cool to have a new voice for the character

[@terk0iz]

I believe the animation mods are Vanargand Animations, and the vast majority of the visual mods are from Heavy Burns' KZbin video "100 Graphical Mods to Make Skyrim Unrecognisable" Not as sure about the character visuals, but I think it's Total Character Makeover and Superior Lore-Friendly Hair

[@UmbralDawn]

[@jonathannewberg9647]

I know I’m x2 years late, but I thought you should know….Shadow Warrior & The Atronach Stone don’t work well together. Just like how spell sbsorption effects can absorb & cancel out Conjuration summons, they can also absorb & cancel out Shadow Warrior. I learned this the hard way during a previous attempt at an assassin build.

[@aedican9719]

[@countdread6467]

Absolutely brilliant build and my go to archer. I added 2 shouts I use. Throw voice and Slow time for if she gets caught. Other then that it's spot on. Figured since we're legendary Dragonborn which in her case doesn't need to be known to her or anyone else. I did eventually take a few into pick pocketing as she loves wealth and "To live like a queen". Thanks Fudge as always, guides are 100% A+ content. Back Stories are just amazing.

Fallout and Skyrim. These guides are incredibly detailed and entertaining. Thank you, Fudge, for your great work.

[@markdevlin150]

well made video on the build. it feels balanced because of your approach isn't to maximize on everything the game offers. I like that as you describe how accessible it is to different playstyles. Something rarely seen in youtube videos. Especially some of the early skyrim ones that basically have you grind out enchantment and alchemy and blacksmithing before you start playing the game. This was a refreshing change. I honestly didn't know about the bow until this video. Or maybe I forgot. So thank you muppet for bringing this to light. I really like the build it feels comfortable and simple. Again your description of the build isn't to be OP in everything, but to build as you play. Ive found this to be more enjoyable and I play the game longer with that new start.

This is an amazing build and has inspired me to write a story in the form of a diary using elements of this build and backstory(credit will be given once it is officially posted ofc) with some creative liberties taken for personal preference and expansion on her background(and also to avoid blatantly copying the idea and character completely). This build, and video, is truly a work of art and you are a great inspiration

[@ezrasatterfield3787]

You can go to solstime at any level, regardless of whether or not you do the main quest line. Just go pay the captain of that ship at windhelm. There is even a loading screen that tells you this. The dialogue just changes if depending on if you did the main quest or not.

[@DavidbarZeus1]

Scott, if you use Andromeda Standing Stones, then by Mephala, you should consider using the Serpent Stone. Sneaking costs magicka, but it makes you move faster and sneak attacks are 20% more effective.

[@TheUnseenPath]

With the Dragon born story line you miss out on some shouts that may be beneficial to this character so probably best to pick up some of those along the way. For me the Shadows Stone is a "better have it and not need it than need it and not have" because while 30 seconds is pretty good for stealth it can go by rather quickly in some cases so having a backup invisibility helps out a lot. Plus, daggers would help in this build as the bow of invisibility would make it easy to get behind people and then backstab them upon switching to daggers.

[@shadows7114]

Would love to see how you built this character(all the sliders and stuff). love the look and the voice acting! keep up the great work!👍

(Also enjoyed the female voice over for the backstory. Kudos to whoever lent their voice to the character.) Been binging a lot of your videos on Dunmer Lore, and it all fits too well into everything that is Elder Scrolls Lore. Still working on the Hand Build, but may give this one a try at a later date.

The Khajiit are one of my two favorite races, but none of the builds so far interest me, and I'm having trouble writing it in. If you couldn't do a build and still happen to see this, how do I write a convincing tale of a soon-to-be king, who lost his power, and now has to gain it back?

[@idoldissr]

Well, that was fun! I'm very partial to your build idea because this build of mine has been, and still is, one of my all-time favorites. I do something similar, but with a Bosmer who is part of their' Rangers troop. As a Silvenar, and learning how to 'sing' the magics of the Elders, he is versed in the art of Enchantment. He takes the Green Pact's rule to protect all plant-life seriously, which makes learning alchemical skills anathema...since most ingredients are plant-based. However, he has aligned himself with those Bosmeri who, since the death of Y'ffre, have found a 'work-around' for never changing form...and, so, he is a werewolf. He hates Thalmor and takes (literally) every opportunity to kill them. His greatest skills are Sneak, Archery, Enchanting, and one-handed weapons (daggers and axes.) His stamina is very high; his health is 1/4 to 1/3 of his stamina; and his magicka is somewhere in-between. He's incredibly fast, evasive, and invasive. A fun character to play.
