You thought I only added elves? Nope. I added pretty much everything. Here are details on Argonian’s, Khajiit and orcs.

This is all for this part. Later/tommorow I will add the details of the human races.
One melee build I'm gonna rock in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special Edition is an unarmed build. Even though it's not as powerful as others, it's quite satisfying to take on a bandit fort or fire-breathing dragon with nothing but your fists.
The game isn't really catered towards unarmed builds, though. Unless you turn the difficulty way down, there are a few things you pretty much have to do to make this build viable without mods.
Here are the key components.
Skyrim Unarmed Build Race: Khajit or Argonian
I'll start by saying you don't have to use these two races. I just recommend them for one reason - they have racial bonuses to unarmed damage. Khajit have a starting unarmed damage rating of 22, while Argonians are at 20.
Makes sense, right? They have freaking claws! Humans (i.e. every other race) do not.
In fact, these races actually do more damage unarmed than they do with most starting weapons.
Personally, my favorite race is Nord -- which surprisingly can still work. Having the Battlecry racial power is nice if you get into a jam. It just means you will always do less damage, so you need to account for that with other things I talk about in this article.
Skyrim Unarmed Build Armor - Heavy Armor
There are two reasons you need to use heavy armor for this build.
The first is that you need all of the protection you can get. You won't be taking out many enemies in just 1-2 swings, so you'll need as much armor as possible to protect yourself. Fights won't be long exactly, but they'll be long enough that you'll definitely be taking damage.
Reason #2 is a certain perk in the Heavy Armor tree -- Fists of Steel. This skill adds your heavy armor glove rating to your damage.
Booyah!
This is one of the best ways to add damage to your fists. And if you can get a nice set of Daedric or Dragon gloves, it is a very nice damage boost.
That leads to the next necessity...
Skyrim Unarmed Build Crafting - Blacksmithing
To make Fists of Steel effective, you need the best gloves you can get your hands on. Even though you can find/create/buy some heavier armors without Blacksmithing, they get much rarer as you go for the high end stuff.
Hence, the need to invest heavily in this skill tree.
You don't necessarily have to go all the way to Dragonplate armor. You can still do pretty well with others, like Ebony (which I think looks the coolest). But if you want to maximize your character's damage (and defense), you'll need to go all the way to the top.
Not only does investing in Blacksmithing help you create everything, but also lets you improve your armor much more. Even though improving armor/weapons is easy to forget about, it will make a huge difference over the long run.
But Blacksmithing isn't the only craft to invest in.
Skyrim Special Edition Unarmed Build Crafting - Enchanting
If you want to roleplay, Enchanting may not make much sense. After all, a brawler probably HATES the idea of spending time at a crafting table. Instead, they'd rather be wandering around Skyrim punching people in the face.
But if you want to get the most out of a brawler build, you need to embrace your inner Enchanter nerd. Why? Because there's an enchantment in the game that improves your unarmed damage. The problem is it can only be found in one place -- and it's on a set of light gloves.
To get the gloves, go to Riften and into the sewers (called The Ratway.) As you navigate through, you'll meet a guy called Gian the Fist. Kill him, loot the gloves, then go disenchant them.
From there, you can start putting the enchantment on everything you'd like. Not every piece of armor can use it, but just putting it on a few pieces should be more than enough.
Skyrim Special Edition Unarmed Build - Shouts
You're the freaking Dragonborn. There's no reason not to use shouts to help you dominate the battlefield.
Even though you have lots of options, these make the most sense:
Again, there are other good shouts to choose from, like Ice Form or Marked for Death. But these four are (in my opinion) the best.

The bad news is that most perks don't really help you as an unarmed combatant.
The good news is there are two that do. Dual Flurry helps your dual-wielding attacks (including unarmed) fly much faster. The other, Dual Savagery, makes dual-wielding power attacks stronger.
While it'd be great if a perk like Armsman (which increases your damage) worked for unarmed, that doesn't seem to be the case. But still -- you can use the other skills referenced earlier to boost your damage to a sufficient level.
The Best Follower for an Unarmed Skyrim Build
The general thinking with followers is that you should have a companion who complements you and covers aspects of battle that you can't. So because you're a melee character, you may want to go with an archer or mage.

A few archers to consider are Jenassa in Whiterun or Faendel in Riverwood. If you prefer a caster, Marcurio in Riften is great.
...but there is something to be said about taking a melee follower with you. The main reason I say that is they will help draw fire away from you, whereas a ranged follower needs you to draw fire from them.
Since you are more important, it makes sense to have someone else helping you tank. This is especially true when going up against multiple enemies, where your melee follower can charge towards whichever ranged enemies are targeting you.
Unarmed Build Combat Gameplay
No, I won't go into details on how to roleplay here. Instead, this is just to give you a general idea of how fights will often work out.

When going up against dragons, consider having a bow or or magic staff to attack while it flies overhead. You don't have to, but getting in a little extra damage before it lands doesn't hurt.
The best shout to use (assuming you don't have the one you find at the end of the main quest) is probably Become Ethereal. That way you can become invulnerable for a few seconds if you caught in a blast of fire or frost breath.
