After 150 hours and four characters lost to the fiery gates of permadeath, Redditor Inward_Perfection finally did it!
Their advice on the best character build?
Well, it’s the same thing wed all recommend, I guess: stealth archer.
“Be a stealth archer!
“Illusion spells like Calm/Pacify are also good, they work regardless of the difficulty setting.
Lord/Atronach Stones are the best on Legendary.
Without magic and elemental resistances, dragons and mages will be frustrating,” they encouraged onReddit.
“Violens has that feature, I just didn’t activate it for the ‘pure’ experience.
Don’t know if it works on consoles.
Rely on followers or summons to do the fighting early on, they’re not affected by difficulty.”
That’s all invaluable advice for those hoping to tackle the same challenge.

Just remember: when in doubt, go stealth archer.
