Mod review: The Wheel of Time
A review of the mod The Wheel of Time - Fully Voiced Follower and Quests. This is a mod that does a crossover between Skyrim and the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan, and includes a main quest line as well as a follower.

Also: I am officially canceling Nona and Alecto's playthroughs, so that I can focus on playing Kenna in Tuxborn's current build.

Found it very much a mixed bag in terms of my player experience, but ultimately did enjoy running it, and expect I'll get better at the difficult parts with practice. No spoilers.
