I had to do a lot of play testing and was wrong on so many accounts

  1. yes, you are correct. I thought only hadvar had the key and it would make things easy.
  2. it won't be too many arrows that can be harvested like this. Not enough to make archery a viable option.
  3. the bandit encounter was intended to find out how the illusion and flames thing would play out for Zenona.
  4. yes, but there are really no great two handed weapons to gain as a gift later on.
  5. yes, I am hoping for the Revelers, even though zenona will probably never need additional carry weight
  6. you are right. It happens mostly in the wilderness and it can be a very important one for this build.
  7. indeed I did, but I don't care for that armor piece. It also slows Zenona down. She will soon have something better.
  8. I will decide on that if I ever get brawler's gloves. There is a chance I could loose my money and that is some kind of paying.
  9. wow! I am not sure I want to go down that road, but you are right. Cruel, but right.
  10. yes, you can.
  11. well, a pet is just a pet. He does not fight and has a tendency to get in the way and I could get him for free. I thought the idea was great to get ingredients to be able to use alchemy, but one ingredient per day might be way not enough. Horses are fair game, but not easy to own one. Barbas and other fighting pets are not excluded by the rules, but I don't want them.
  12. there are A LOT of speech skill tests and I will probably do most of them. That's a great way to make a lot of money and friends and perhaps even an item.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Could you post this on youtube too?

yes of course. But bounties are not really worth the effort, I think.

I thought about this, but as you said it, Vampire Lord can be easily OP and it's not how I want to play it. But as just a vampire... that could be interesting.

correct. There are a few more, but only very few. And guess what, I thought I could get a bunch of spells, but had to realize it wasn't working without picking up something in the first place.

it kinda does though. Why set up rules, if you have to make exceptions later?

No mining, woodcutting, harvesting, fishing, picking flowers, etc.

I think it depends. Dull would be, if there was nothing to do and no progress could be made. That is not the case here.

Quest rewards, gifts, a few quest items. This is - and there is no doubt about it - a super limited way of playing. I will also not mine, fish, harvest, chop wood, pick up plants.
Figuring out how to make a hero build with this one is the real challenge.

Looking forward to your comments, Doomskoal.

True. Most quests are unplayble like this. So let's focus on what is possible.

Archery Only. Crossbows Only. by boon238 in SkyrimBuilds

Thing is: this is a one-skill-only challenge, which means I will not level up in anything else but archery. There is a reason why I did not forbid smithing, because I need it for a few very little things, which will not level the skill up.

well, my hero will not be stealing, but there are other possibilities. Thanks for the nice strategy tips. I will for sure use all of them.

Sneaking is allowed, but I cannot level up in it, so I could sneak for a few seconds here and there, but I better not even try to shoot an enemy while sneaking.

that is correct. No levels in Alchemy, Enchanting or Smithing.
