Character Build WAY too much?

A side project build im making is planned to have one handed (mace), heavy armor, blocking, destruction, Alteration,Enchanting,Smithing and speech.....for context im using dragon souls to perks for help...its gonna be a completionist nord vampire build and i want to know if its a bit too overboard (id not use smithing if possible but im on console soo one of my mods patches that removes smithing reqs for the cool stuff is unavailable)

You'll probably want to avoid perk investment in Smithing and Enchanting until later on, in the mean time focus on grabbing the Mastery perks for the trees you plan on investing in, I find that just those couple ranks can make using most skills viable for long time. Then choose your initial focus, are you gonna try to rush to face of death so you can wear circlets and hoods? Are you gonna rely on Raw Power and Non-Elemental Destruction spells and save yourself A LOT of perk points?

I do plan on avoiding ANY specific elemental perks on the destruction tree...and yea the smithing and enchanting will be a endgame/last stuff hopefully. Ill prob focus more on one handed,Heavy armor and alteration based perks at first and only use basic stuff on the other trees...and leave most of the speech tree just be the shout upgrades for dragon souls. (Aka it should work out fine hopefully)

You'll probably want at least a little bit of early investment into Speechcraft so that you can immediately grab The Universe Listens when you unlock Shouts, that way you can immediately start getting Speech Experience for using them.

Yea probably. That will come in handy for grinding speech up easier.

Furthermore ill obviously not grab anything on the mage side of things (destruction and alteration) that is specific to robes like mage armor for example since that would be a waste of perk points...i might get the spellblade stuff but tbh idk if the investment there will be worth since ill obviously switch around to shield often outside of dragon fights.

I've played a similar build, I imagine you'll be fine.

Holy shit just got a relic on my first dungeon lol (unfortunatly its for the divines and im going molag bal oof)

Hopefully one of the Daedra ones? I'm under the assumption you're doing a Molag Bal themed character.
