7 Best Powerful Builds For Skyrim

In , the possibilities for different builds are nearly endless, and with so many possible variations, it would take thousands of hours of game time to play them all. It is perhaps partially why the game has stood the test of time in a way others have not, and players continue to soak hundreds of hours into it. However,some builds are more fun or more powerful than others, which might make your playtime that much more enjoyable.

Classes in already offer several possibilities, but that is just one aspect with wide-ranging skill trees and tons of possible weapons, armor, and spells.

You abuse your way through the system between these three and defeat the game. However, this build will take a long time to see through, without the glitch at least, and while fun it works best in combination with other builds such as Vampiric builds in .
