Skyrim Roleplay builds
Builds where character and theme come first and efficiency second. The picks follow the character you have in mind.
Holy Knight build that uses the Crusader's set from Skyrim Anniversary. Restoration, Heavy Armor, and Block are great for survival and crowd control. One-Handed is a solid and versatile melee skill. Undead especially fall to you hard thanks to Stendarr's Aura and other Sun spells.
A savage hunter. A single surprise attack followed by a volley of poison-tipped arrows as the prey draws closer. When surrounded and out numbered transform into a deadly werewolf to tear through their ranks.
A challenging experience for Expert Difficulty. Roleplay a scholar, preserving history and purifying the undead. A tactical fighter, One-handed weapons and a torch or nothing, play reactionally with Quick Reflexes. Plan before engaging: Detect Life/Dead to scout the opposition, flesh spell pre-buff, Turn Undead for crowd control and Wards to recharge Magicka, Soul Trap to "Purify" Draugr. Use whatever Enchanted Gear you find most useful.
This build is a tweak of the "True Warlock" build posted here by @Halkaun.
The changes are designed for play on Adept/Expert.
Spell absorption has been removed; instead, the build relies on the healing power of the Staff of Magnus, Histskin, and Vampiric Drain to sustain mana via Equilibrium.
The melee aspect has been dropped in favor of a purely arcane focus.
No mods, no CC needed.
Thanks to the author of the original build for such magnificent work.

Ultimate canon Last Dragonborn build. Well-rounded Nord fighter. Stormcloaks, Dawnguard, Companions, College of Winterhold.
Mive fast to stay alive, kill everything with fire and lightning, avoid fights with humanoids unless quest locked, You're not a murderer.
The Vigilant wields Stendarr's hammer, admittedly a difficult but powerful weapon to wield
The hammer will slow the user down, draining their stamina per swing as it has a carry weight of 100
The hammer should only really be used when enemies approach, not to chase down
Using a mixture of ranged Destruction Fire magic and Restoration, the Vigilant will use these spells to destroy any undead and daedrea princes and their worshippers
Inspired by BADCompanySarge, the Silver Slayer is a hunter of the undead, vampires, daedrea, and werewolves
This build focuses on everything silver from weapons, armor, and jewelry, fully enchanted to give an edge over the dead
This build does not use any magic and is susceptible to magic to give some healthy challenge against mages and vampires
This is not a stealth archer build as wielding heavy armor and a two-handed sword compliments the crossbow
Brutal and deadly but with a heart of gold she will tend to the needy and helpless. Since she was a kid she dreamed of traveling to skyrim someday, a provenance that she heard was blessed by Malacath himself. Her time with the legion forged her to become a great warrior and a talented blacksmith. Special attacks: Malacath's offering: berserker rage + soul tear + power attacks. Trembling hearts: disarming bash + dismay + veggie soup + sweep.
For anyone that wants to roleplay a Witcher. For the Signs I tried to stick to the effects first and look second which is why you see Frost Rune (only one that slows) for base Yrden instead of Lightning Rune since the later only deals dmg and acts more like the alternate mode for Yrden. The only sign for which I couldnt find an equivalent spell was for the alternate mode of Aard which is meant to be a 360° push effect. This is intended for Vanilla.
The Champion is a Dunmer that is a unstoppable force that dominates from the shadows and on the battlefield
Using a blend of spells in Illusion to stay hidden, Destruction for ranged fire attacks, and Alteration to stay in the fight longer
Wielding Goldbrand to finish the fight as a stealthy first strike or a flashy finisher when things go loud
Depending on your roleplay and origin of your Dunmer, they may join the Dark Brotherhood or destroy it
The Hunter is a self-reliant woodsman who worships Hircine and Kyne
Using his bow afar with stealth and precision
When targeted, reposition or use woodcutting axe or dagger
If cornered, become a werewolf and consume to become stronger
Potions to heal and poison to deal extra damage if needed
Goal is to fully build Lakeview Manor
Marry Aela the Huntress
Faendal as a steward
Dog as a hunting companion
Use shouts to control animals or the weather
A scarred female Imperial vampire who worships Clavicus Vile
She will collect Bittercup, Mask, and Umbra as her daedric artifacts
She uses Illusion spells from the shadows to manipulate her foes
She uses Umbra to attack when enemies approach
She will have any dog companions to distract her enemies
Charming merchants, she will become very wealthy
When push comes to shove, she will use her Vampiric powers
She will make her home at Proudspire Manor
A male warrior who follows Malacath Code: Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not attack without reason. Fight with honor. Protect your tribe. Those who break these rules must pay the Blood Price.
The main goal is to complete all related quests with the four Orc strongholds across Skyrim, collect all daedric artifacts of Malacath, and to build your own home using the Hearthfire homes.
Marry Borgakh the Steel Heart

This Breton Light Paladin blends swift mobility with divine destruction. Outfitted in light Elven armor, you use Breton Magic Resistance to shrug off spells while weaving Restoration magic (healing, Sun Fire, and undead turning) into fast-paced combat. You snipe with Auriel's Bow, then rush in with Dawnbreaker and Auriel's Shield to blast foes back with holy shockwaves.
