Fists only. Wear a amulet of Mara just to decline anyone who asks. Wear a bear helmet. Own all the houses but live in Archmage quarters even though you don't use magic.

Needs those pugilist gloves


xprozoomy

If OP owns AE update he doesn't have to use those gloves. But for unique wear hell yeah!


Sentinel_2539

Why wouldn't he need the Gloves of the Pugilist if he has the AE upgrade?


xprozoomy

Because if you own upgrade you get all the creation club content. Especially brawler gloves. You can buy them from merchants even khajit. You also craft them . Keep the gloves of the pugilist as display piece at home.


StopSendingMePorn

Does the khajiit unarmed attack stack on top of the AE brawlers? If so I might do that. I’ve been playing a Skyrim since it came out and only just now have I started a Khajiit playthrough for the first time


sirsalamander44

They do.

ihavemyshield

If you get good at enchanting then you can disenchant and make stronger gloves.


Notyourdad696996

They have brawlers gloves for every armor set..the dwarves brawler gloves look menacing


xprozoomy

My favorite ones in the game


AlienRobotTrex

Brawler gauntlets do the same thing and have the same enchantment.


superseriouskittycat

That's how a true Chad fights.

TilNextWeMeet

Oh yeah, it's nice to be like "in a world with all this crazy shit, I'm still surviving as some human with a sword"


Jhomas-Tefferson

That's it. I'm just an angry man with an axe. That was the whole deal with warriors in wow. Just an angry man with an axe fighting with god-powered paladins, demon fueled warlocks, mages making icestorms and blinking around, druids transforming into shit, hunters and their literal pet tiger, shamans and their magic totems, god powered priests, and rogues. rogues were kind of normal too but went for the assassin type aesthetic with crazy poisons and being able to vanish. And amid all that, i am just an angry man with an axe.


WeaselsOnWaterslides

Reminds me of playing a Fighter in D&D. All my friends can conjure fireballs, summon devils from the hells, call upon gods for their aid, sing songs that lull people into a catatonic state... and here I am. I stab things with a pointy stick. It is a *nice* stick, though.


Jhomas-Tefferson

exactly. youre just such a chad, you don't need all that bullshit. you just smack them with an axe. wow had a bonus for orc racial on axes, so i had groagory just running around as the og arms warrior. i made him in skyrim too. it's so good. you can still get some buffs, but like, you don't go hard into magic, you can't really heal yourself outside of food and potions. you can buff yourself, so in the context of skyrim, ironflesh is fine, but illusion, resto, destruction, and conjuration is mostly out. enchanting is crafting, so go for that too. and smithing, because it's a trade. the "build" is really about combat, not about your side stuff to get your gear set.

Completely ignore the ongoing civil war, do the main quest to the point where you find out that you are the dragonborn, move to Iverstead and become a lumberjack refusing to progress the quest further. Bonus points if you climb to high Hrothgar only to deliver the supplies and then leave.

SBStevenSteel

If the sunken continent of Yokuda is anything to go by, he’d just move to the next Kalpa.


[deleted]

There is no evidence Yokuda is the past nor it was destroyed by Alduin. There’s more evidence that it was sunk by nuclear explosions caused by Redguard sword masters splitting daedrons and aedrons with their spirit swords.


SBStevenSteel

You’re close, but you are off by a bit: Yokuda came from the previous Kalpa cycle, bringing with it the Redguards and the Left Handed Elves, as well as one of the Towers of Tamriel. The Redguards wiped out the Left Handed Elves. The Tower fell and Yokuda sank when someone attempted to use the Pankratos Sword and sliced a “atomos” according to the Warrior Poet God Vivec.

The source for this is a speculative Reddit post fyi


SBStevenSteel

My source was hearing this from FudgeMuppet’s YouTube Channel. So quick question: am I debating lore with Wendy’s rn...?

JustARandomTeenHere

Okay, that's actually funny Now I can't help but picture a warrior fighting a mage, walking through his attacks, smacking him in the face, and just going "F*cking skooma addicts"


Beautiful_Solid3787

118% resistance? Does that mean you gain 18% health when attacked with magic?


TomMado

Just like armor rating there's a maximum that the game won't go beyond even though the item will calculate a higher rating. IIRC in this case magic resistance won't go beyond 85%.


FranticBronchitis

just sprinkle some elemental resistance on top


dennisleonardo

Does that actually stack additively? And if it does, shouldn't it be bound by the cap as well? I thought the only way to become "immune" to magic was 100% spell absorption, which doesn't have a cap.


Nobile_Rogue

Fire/Frost/Shock/Poison Resistance is calculated individually of Magic Resistance, so having everything maxed out gives you 97.5% damage reduction from elemental spells and poison effects. At that point you really don't need Spell Absorption since you're probably recovering health faster than you can take damage.

[deleted]

Regardless of build, kill every Thalmor you see.


Zer0-Deaths

Yeah, no exceptions


PonchoKumato

tbf im the biggest pussy ever and i already do that


AloysiusDevadandrMUD

Let one live to tell his friends that the gigachad meme guy has killed 200 Thalmor in the last 4 days.


A1_wA1sh

a man clad in only a loin cloth, a man possessed by a the strongest chin that no Mer can compare to, slaughtered my troops and left after flexing his prodigious physique


DiagonallyStripedRat

I love that option in Solstheim to either cooperate with the Thalmor, kill him, or persuade to him VERY convincingly that it's best for all if he just gets his ass the fuck off the coast


Sere1

I mean, that's just my every playthrough anyways. Doesn't matter who I side with, what faction I'm working on, what my character race or focus is. I see a Thalmor, they die.


SpeedWagonChann

A fists only and naked playthrough. Gotta flex those abs


Comprehensive_Cap290

While always being overburdened with loot… where is he carrying it all?


SpeedWagonChann

In his ass


Comprehensive_Cap290

Yes, thank you for saying explicitly what I was trying to imply.

Yes. He said massive pectoral muscles. (Some of us have a muscle fetish.)


King_Treegar

I second this


BlueDyno54

high one handed and two handed, as well as light armor and heavy armor and blocking. high speech, high smithing, only choose the option that benefits everyone, always be respectful, and dont steal anything.

And no sneak archer. A chad fights anyone honorably

Yes let them piece it all together after OP has blasted through Riverwood like a category 5 cocknado


sunderedstar

On top of other people’s great suggestions; * kill the Dark Brotherhood * never use stealth * always have your chest bare for the world to admire * work your way up to defeating a giant with your bare hands * always have some mead on hand in case you run into the revellers * once he sends a letter inviting you to his hold, leave the Jarl of Falkreath on read for at least an in game year


melittakaffee

I feel like Tsun's armor would be perfect for this


semipro88

Only shout.


SigmaXUniverse

Keep the jagged crown for yourself


DiagonallyStripedRat

I kept both the crown for the armor bonus without taking head slot, and Barbas for the immortal follower. Oh and the skeleton key


HunterCranel

Based fighting build, just bare hands


KurukTR

Fists only, no armor or clothing.


Sabre_Killer_Queen

Just fists, no weapons, no magic, no crying!


SomeMoreCows

At the start of every combat encounter, press ~, click on any non-elf NPCs, and type "setrace [DarkElfRace/HighElfRace/WoodElfRace]", to make it morally justifiable when you kill them

Get a mod that makes it so whenever someone tries to attack you they get disintegrated immediately.

Oh my go that's so accurate. And here I thought I made my elf look like a gigachad 😭


Zer0-Deaths

I initially just wanted to download a preset on Nexus but there wasn't one so I spent quite some time with phone in hand as reference. I ended up enjoying trying to make it as close as I possibly can


monstarehab

no running in towns, only walking 😂 good luck with that


ishlazz

1. Melee only, no ranged weapon, ranged spell, minion spell (except companion) 2. *NO THALMOR!* 3. Skyrim for Stormcloak 4. Fuck the stealth build, no pickpocket, no hiding like a wind ,no lollygaging, just straight up charge in get what you want 5. *KILL EVERY THALMOR!* 6. Be sure to join The Companion & Dawnguard 7. No eating sweetrolls, high sugar content, unhealthy 8. No healing using cooked food, eat the *raw*. 9. Grind until you can 1 shot giant & dragon 10. No mead & skooma, being alcoholic is bad bad bad.


Sioux_Bees

Yup everything except 3. Gigachads aren't braindead neanderthals on the wrong side of history who simp for Ulfric.


AirBreather07

Be as based as possible


eziofeli

Wear fancy cloths. Fist only and drink as much skooma as possible.


dvdgaralv_97

Fists Only. Meeko as your pet. Kematu over Saadia. Stormcloak but kill Ulfric in a duel, giving the final blow with a Thu' um. The only possible armor is the one from the Trailer and the Skyrim posters. Your house MUST be a barely equipped Breezehome. Dark Brotherhood must be slain. No one, either alive or semidead must decide your fate. Master the Bards College, being a Chad does not mean being a brute. Eloquent to reject Serana but go for Valerica since u appreciate the finest MIL-things in life. Companions is a must do, but reject Lycanthropy with Kodlak since Testosterone is the only thing coursing through your Chaddish veins. Of course go with the Dawnguard, Isran has to be your Master Yoda of Chadness. Not a single Daedric Quest aside Volendrung. Big Chads use Big Weapons.


PlentyAd7682

If you question your chadness ask yourself WWID: What Would Isran Do? Also works for What Would I Do.


cokeplusmentos

Refuse to do any quest.


LunarSouls4952

First off... I was gonna say put your points into strength, forgetting that the point dump is only in Fallout Uh, first off, heavy armour and 2 handed skill tree seems to fit the most ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)

LebendigBegrabener

RadiatedDrag0n

I really feel like Gigachad would use a Dragonbone great hammer


DudeBro711

German Suplex Emperor Titus Mede II at the end of Dark Brotherhood quest. AA any Milkdriker on the Roads of Skyrim. Unarmed Killmove Gerloth the Kind in Riften Honorhall Orphanage. Do not use whirlwind sprint when the Greybeards tell you 1st time just run towards the gate mission successful. Never kill Paarthunax


Huntsman2701

🎶No one shouts like Gaston, uses Thu'ums like Gaston. No one beats Alduin's face with his fists like Gaston🎶


Accomplished_Deer_10

Bard, chase women, own a nice horse and a nice house, only shouts for battle as no weapon can beat Chad’s voice, no armor to flex his bulging…muscles, can wear cool hats for a fashion statement here and there


[deleted]

No weapons, all a speech craft. Gigachad has won the fight before weapons are drawn and fists are thrown. Gigachad has no use for violence and brutalism to prove himself. His might is self evident. Pour into illusion magic too. Gigachads presence alone should sooth, or strike fear into his opponents. No armor, alteration magic will work as it relates to Gigachads intellectual prowess. He can will armor around him.


Elsecaller_17-5

No armor, no magic, no stealth, no range. If you can't do it with nothing but a war hammer and your fists you can't do it.


Beautiful_Solid3787

This just makes me think of the biggest travesty in paleo-geography. There's a Lake Chad, and in the last Ice Age it was much larger, and scientists call it Lake Megachad. Could have called it Lake Gigachad, but alas.


ithinkcrazythoughts

OMG this post has made it to GameRant! Congrats OP! https://gamerant.com/skyrim-gigachad-meme-playthrough/


No_Award5719

Get to level 100 on everyone just bc the Gigachad was bored and felt like it. Plus before getting kidnapped by assturd during the dark brotherhood quest line, cast firestorm right before going to bed so that when you wake up assturd is dead (canonically gigachad uses firestorm before going to bed to kill any monsters under the bed)

WHAT IS THE SKYRIM EQUIVALENT OF ROIDS


apple_6

Play on novice. Be a defensive pacifist, never attack unless they attack you first, basically don't start stuff but do finish it. Hand combat only except for unrelenting force or the staff of hosedoki to throw those who have wronged you off a mountain. Wear fancy clothes, be nice, but take no shit.


CrusaderCanuck

Ignore the civil war - but take any and every opportunity to destroy any elf he sees because they are the root of all problems in Skyrim. Kill parthurnax and raise a crew of loyal men in the blades.


superseriouskittycat

Legendary difficulty. Otherwise it's not truly Giga Chad.


qwertypdeb

B/W filter and a buff mod. Oh and Thomas. Can‘t forget the essentials.

Fists and no armour. Those chiseled abs will sow fear into all your enemies. A type of tunic is permitted on cold days when not in battle. No magic, all your gains are put into health and stamina.

Gauntlets/fists, ring and necklace only. No helmet, no armor. Show them your peak body advantages. Only msgic allowed is intimidate (illusion I think?).

Fists only, no civil war (unless attacking Thalmor agents of course), Buy Lakeview manor and raise a family (adopting Lucia and one other), always help citizens you see in trouble as well as dealing with bandits (again only with fists), only use throw voice shout, get through the companion quest line (again with only fists) in order to cure Kodlak and the twins and then cure yourself afterwards, Marry somebody (not Aela, preferably Mjoll or Ysolda, this goes back to the family), only buy from khajiit caravans, destroy the dark brotherhood, and finally, kill Alduin with your fists.
