Hello and welcome back to Skypothesis! Once again, it's Anniversary Edition Skryim Build time! This time, a Redguard scholar of the Dwemer who takes full advantage of several creation club content packs, including Forgotten Seasons, Arcane Archer Pack, Redguard Elite Armaments, and several others. We really love the way the Dwarven Brawler Gauntlets tie the look together, and had a grand time going on expeditions and studying the Dwemer. Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for dropping by, and helping us keep the magic of Skyrim alive! Check out the links in the description to join our discord server + get some sweet swag! One quick correction: he uses the Thief Backpack, but for some of the footage he’s wearing the adventurer backpack. Both look cool, we just like the buffs that the Thief Backpack give!

One way to make it possibly more interesting for us to anticipate the arrival of your next build, could you guys try to make a riddle about what the build will be? It would be best to stop at the type of build and not to try to have the name of the character as the answer, it may take hundreds of guesses.

@Skypothesis then perhaps have the riddle of what the character will be wearing? The armour styles that you guys make can say a lot about a character, but not entirely reveal the type of build you made

hi i'd just like to sat this build is amazing, i've just started using the dwemer scout goggles mod from nexus since its dwarven and for me it's a game changer because my build doesn't use magic at all pure archer. thanks again for this amazing build
Added role-playing suggestion: you can turn any Hearthfire home into a Dwemer museum by building an armory, trophy room, and enchanting tower. Fill the armory with Dwemer weapons and armor and fill the trophy room with reconstructed Dwemer automata

@@orangeraptor4259you probably already found out but incase you haven’t it’s nchardumthamz or something (something like that)
A build I would love to see you guys do is basically just like the Tonal Scholar but instead of Dwemer ruins he’s obsessed with it’s the Nordic crypts and tombs. Unlike the scholar he will use magic mainly conjuration to raise the dead in the tombs for him to study and help him fight as well as for the bound bow. Call him the Tomb Lord or Crypt Stalker.
Never thought in a million years that the Redguard Remnants and a Dwemer Scholar would go together! All the more proof of how creative your backstories are!
You could also get hopesfire, trueflame, volendrung and spellbreaker for your museum collection since they’re all Dwemer made as well and could be considered curious oddities due to volendrung landing in hammerfell hence the name of the province the fact it’s an orcish artifact is also interesting. Hopefire and trueflame are both gifts directly made by kagrenac for indoril and almalexia and their design not being traditionally dwarven is also interesting. And the spellbreaker is both a daedric artifact and a Dwemer creation but doesn’t have traditional Dwemer design. It could be a research project to figure out how and why daedric princes have Dwemer creations
Between the Fudgemuppet boys revamping their old builds and you two putting out the unparalleled best character creation content ever offered for this game, Skyrim’s never been in a better place.

Same...Except 3 days for me. Started in Solstheim as a Morrowind-esq Dwemer.
Can we petition to rename Friday to ‘skyday’? You guys are killing it with these builds
I am absolutely crazy about all things Dwarven! The way you mixed the remanent together looked like it was meant to be! I am totally jumping on this one after I complete my Dawn Knight build game. Thanks again for another spectacular build!
You guys killed it again. I love this aesthetic. You guys always renew my desire to play this game.
Such inspiration! If anyone wants to add some magic to this build without changing its play style or backstory, try adding Alteration: Tonal Architecture is all about ‘reworking reality’, so it would make sense for someone studying it to explore Alteration magic, as the two arts possess similarities and overlap. Some scholarly works may cite Tonal Architecture and Alteration as being one-and-the-same (though the Tonal Scholar’s studies would likely debunk this), so it could make sense for him to become adept with it as a result of his studies. It also provides a lot of stealth based utility that won’t change the play style: detect life, paralysis, and telekinesis in particular fold nicely into the whole ‘time/space manipulation ’ aspect of the build (alongside the Telekinesis Arrows and Slow Time stuff), whilst also giving extra utility for thieving, and defence for when stealth isn’t an option. Extra points for those with mods that allow Telekinesis to target foes as well!
I'm happy to see that i had reasons to be as excited as i was for this build ! He's such a unique and well written dwemer scholar who fully thrive on the contents added with the anniversary edition ! I'm really surprised to see another character using Lockpicking. I thought The Sapphire Smuggler was going to be your only Lockpicking build but it make perfect sens for him as he probably need a lot of money to craft his arrows, improve his gear and finance his researchs and expeditions. It's so brillant to go to the College of Winterhold as a scholar and not a mage and i really like the fact that this build force you to return regularly to the overlooked and underated atronach forge. This build really shine just by his gameplay and aesthetic. I'm really happy for the way this build turned out. I'm still kinda sad than The Deadeye Phantom won't get the love he deserve but it's a true blessing to have you being abble to fully explore the anniversary edition and bring amazing characters like this guy to life
Genuinely this is my favourite armour combination you guys have come up with. Amazing
Huh, first time I’m this early… what a wonderful delight
He joins the Thieves Guild because he likes to Delvin to ancient civilizations. 😏 Witty comment covered, I'm definitely going to this build for a Dwemer focus. I especially like the Atronach Forge use and the expeditions tying different quests together. On the mod side, I think this guy could team up with Lucien as a fellow scholar, and this would lead to another expedition.
I cant wrap my head around the fact that you manage to produce so cool looking characters every time guys.. Props
Always good to see you guys making new builds thank you 🙏
Another great build! I'm really excited to see what else you guys come up with using the full AE content. So far it seems to be providing quite the spark :)
Holy moly, another Skypothesis build! Oh, happy day! I love them all! Great vid, keep up the great work! I will always want more of these! Ya'll are the best story & build peeps for Skyrim, PERIOD! ;)

The armor blends so well. Plus redguard builds always niceeee
YES! I was thinking of doing a dwemer researcher playthrough! perfect timing.
Fantastic! 🎉 I was waiting for a Dwemer themed build and you did not disappoint!!! Great build and inspiration, thank you so much ☺️
This is definitely in my top 3 builds of all time! I have been dying to see telekinesis arrows utilized they have such a cool thematic use :)
Yet another fantastic build! I love characters in fantasy settings who are scholars without being mages and you guys do them really well. The stereotype of magic being the most/only book smart fighting style in fantasy is so pervasive and I like subverting that. Although alchemy is mechanically considered a thief skill, I've still always wondered why the college of winterhold doesn't have an alchemy professor when they have so many alchemy labs everywhere. Inspiration for the next character build, perhaps? I think destruction potions should be able to improve the damage of some shouts...
Reminds me of my favorite Dwemer build from the old Skyrim Blog/Tamriel Vault days: *The Aetherial Mystic* Still play my own version of it from time to time. Can't wait to give this one ago... months from now, when I get through my backlog of (your) builds. Cheers +1 for Redguards 😉
It's a theme I'm very fond of explored in an inventive and exciting way. What's not to love? Another Skypothesis instant classic!
This is what i have been looking for. I love the Dwemer Lore and always wanted a build that is as obsessed with the Dwemer as i am. Thanks Skypo.
I just started watching this but had to stop to congratulate you guys on the banger aesthetic as always, I really don't know how you do it!
Another fantastic Skypothisis build. Thank you guys :D
you guys always smash these builds out the park another great video
Legitimately one of the coolest builds I've ever seen. Definitely playing this build
This is such an awesome build! I’m always impressed with the armor combos you guys put together, but this character’s aesthetic is absolutely fantastic! This might my new favorite build! I also really like that you made a Dwemer themed build that is so different from Fudgemuppet’s Clockwork Apostle.
Skyrm has been a part of my life since the release, im now 29 and when i see these kind of videos from you guys it makes me feel like im watching a series or a movie about it, very nice keep it up the amazing job!

This is 🤯. As always guys you’re truly creative Wyeth it comes to these builds. The aesthetic alone would be enough, but you go above and beyond with the backstory, perks, etc. Great work. *chef kiss*
Maaan, i simply loved this one. I aways wanted to make a dwemer themed build, but never find a suitable and fun playstile. You guys are absolute legends, keep up the amazing work!
This... this is the best build I've seen on this channel great job guys
Ooh I love this one! Great job guys!
I love the aesthetic and the story behind it! Fantastic video!
This is definitely my favorite story and build! I am obsessed with this channel lol
Love the builds cuz! Keep up the good work
Your best build yet I think. Bravo!
I'm so happy to have found your channel! You're gonna be big someday. I can tell.
You guys make amazing armor combinations!
I admire and respect every video involving the Dwemer. I don’t want to think about how often I would have bitten my tongue trying trying to pronounce the location names. (Even through my native language is an Austrian German dialect that doesn’t use many vowels to begin with)
ive probably said this on other builds, but - this is my favorite build/ backstory of all time. I'm obsessed with the dwemer, and always love seeing new takes on the "dwemer scholar/ dungeon crawler" style builds. this is concise, tight, makes lore sense, and just enough ambiguity to suspend disbelief. it owns. ❤️
Having tons of fun with this build. Great aesthetics and gameplay.
GASPSPPSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A DWEMER BUILD FROM YOU ALL!!!! AZURA BLESS YOU!!!
Great builds for anniversary keep them coming awesome :-)
As always, I loved the lore and backstory. I like the Dwemer scholar approach to this character and his particular interest in metallurgy. I love that his involvement with the College is as a scholar rather than as a mage and that his primary use of the College is for the Atronach Forge rather than for spell-learning. I like the opportunity for character development as he travels and expands his interest from being focused on just Dwemer history to becoming interested in the history of the land and how he realizes it’s related. As with the Stylite Storm, I like your unique approach to him becoming Arch-Mage - not necessarily a mage, but in his case a keeper of magical artifacts. Just as you had a separate Bestiary section in The Witchkiller video, I love how you have a separate Expedition section for The Tonal Scholar.
You can use nchuanthumz house which is a dwemer house from the creation club which you can get by reading a journal in the inn at winterhold I believe that this guy would definitely stay there as his home and he is a scholar of a sort so he would definitely would stay there
This one is by far my favorite build and rp!!!! Previous playthroughs i never bothered with dwemer stuff. Never took interest in dwemer ruin’s. But because science and physics is one thing i love in real life. And when you guys told in this build about the Dwemer alloys that are closer to the mountain, and there for affected by time, I immediately thought of the theory of relativity! So went to make and play this build with the rp because of that. And it is seriously amazing!!!! And this character has by far the best looks with the armor/gear!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I loved the oblivion sentinel build and I'll adore playing this one too
You guys are so fuckin creative! Another amazing build that I cannot WAIT to try! I loved playing as the Relic Hunter (I named her Ruby in my playthrough), and it was awesome to see hints of her character in this build. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is a good take on a artificer build. Usually builds like this heavily depend on mods to function but y’all were creative enough to make it work in vanilla
Honestly it’s upsetting that you guys don’t have more subscribes this builds and how you lay them out are just Incredible! It gives something nice to play Skyrim in its vanilla version again for me! And I just got Skyrim on PC so I’m ready to grind out the achievements like I did in Xbox with this build! Great content you guys have!

I've been hoping for a telekinesis arrow build since your first Anniversary Edition build! So cool!
I used to hate Dwemer stuff, but this and Fudgemuppet's Clockwork Apostle changed my heart on the matter. I truly underestimated how cool Dwemer stuff is.
I don't know why, but I'm just fascinated with this build and it seems like a perfect build for me to try. Time to save it to favourites and go binge watch all your Skyrim build vids
damn it, you guys are really making start another skyrim playthorugh. i swore i was done with this game but he were are lol amazing work as always!
Sick build!!
Your work is so inspiring guys, thank you for putting all this time and effort into these builds. I'm having a blast playing with your creations!

I'm doing this build now and using illusion magic for silent casting and destruction magic for runes, I'm playing him more as a night blade than a pure ranger and am using the ring of masser instead of the ring of surroundings, it's a powerful build and I love the role play, I used to have a build very similar to this years ago to get over my dislike of going through Dwarven ruins, this updated AE edition will be a permanent fixture in my character build library now and will not be considered complete until I have every single Dwemer artifact in the game, you guys are the greatest Skyrim character build channel there is, hands down, the best!!
This is my favorite!!!
I'm here for the special moves and for the fashion!
god i miss these builds, i hope to see one with the daedric horse in the future
By far my favorite You guys are so creative its insane
Awesome Dwemer builds are my favourites
Im excited to get these anniversary builds ... Crossing my fingers for an awesome survivor type build
They thought he was a just another conspiracy theorist, boy were they wrong!
Oooe! I love Redguards and I love this idea. Yup, my next playthrough sorted 😁
20:25 this is actually a Jojo reference
I love the idea of a stealth Archer that can fall back on unarmed if disarmed. Its soo cool. Im so indecisive i just keep making new characters to try out all of these builds

I threw some illusion magic into this build and it’s so much fun! Since the helmet has a reduction I also got the ring of Masser which boosts illusion, sneak and stamina. Perfect for the build. Fenrik’s welcome makes all the dwarven chests and locks a breeze and allows me to save lock picks for master chests. Also frenzy and pacify are great defenses in a pinch!
Incredible build! Just a thought - since thu’um is a variation of tonal magic, you can do Words of Power quests from Greybeards to gather shouts. Also, if one wants to go zero magic, there is a copy of Aetherium Wars in the Bards College Library and one of its teachers is in fact a teacher of history. In order not to miss out on Dwemer ruins in the college quest line and on Atronach forge, you can either enter via speech check (teacher of history should be able to articulate his mind well after all) or while on Elder Knowledge quest.
AMAZING
WOW! Another great build! Can you also please make a build about a lich
Very interesting and great 👍 build 😊
I cant lie this gotta be my new favourite build
definately adding some one handed to this, with keening fix mod and also the creation club one handed hammer and arm piece
This build REQUIRES the Legacy of the Dragonborn museum in Solitude... THATS his faction.
This need to come out everyday, I be fiending
Posted a comment 5months ago.. still playing this build! My all time favorite! After i did all the rp quests and stuff i didnt want to stop. So i roleplayed that when he helped the temple of mara to help the “lovers” and get the 15% magic resist, he was so moved by the reactions of the ppl (and ghosts) he helped. He decided to help as much ppl as he can and so becoming the ppl’s hero in Skyrim. So still playing with the tonal scolar and still rocking with his awesome armor combo with the backpack and zephyr! And patiently waiting for a new awesome build you guys will create in the future!!!

Even after all this time, I still think this character's look is one of the coolest. Hands down! So cool looking.
This is the build for my legacy playthrough now
This is awesome! I love the scholar aspect! I prefer to play as a female as I do enjoy a strong female lead. I've been looking for a good reason to use the Arcane Archer pack. I've always wanted to delve into the lore behind the Dwemer and now i can along with an awesome arsenal and an amazing Backstory! I'll admit, I'm sad I hadn't come across your channel sooner.
I don't think I have ever played a Redguard before. Going to give this a shot.
Funny how about a week ago I came up with a similar cosmetic combo, except I use the remnant gloves and went a different way, non dwemer related, more close to the sunfire herald (using the new staff arm of the sun). Definitely will be doing this build but changing backstory a bit as I been trying to fit a orc into the whole dwemer ruins exploration.
Best home would probably be the dwarven home added with the creation club....it larger and it built into a dwarven ruin it's near multiple other dwarven ruins too near riften for the thieves guild
Thanks for this video. I have been contemplating using the tonal architect mod and I had been thinking about what his story would be. I have been thinking along similar lines to your build and your ideas have fleshed out what I have been thinking. In mine the character is to be a Nord who wanted to be a mage but plans to use the Dwemer technology in place of magic. This way he can be a spellsword without the need to learn spells and it fits in with the Nord aversion to magic.
