    In Which Kendeshel Journeys to Skyrim, Again

    This is take two of Kendeshel’s starting session in my Legacy of the Dragonborn Skyrim playthrough. As I previously posted, I had to start over because I found annoying mod breakage that I didn’t want to put up with! Action is almost the same as in my previous starting session, minus stopping in Dragon Bridge, plus a bit more exploration in Helgen given that this playthrough also includes Alternate Start.

    Revised Kendeshel load order

    This post documents take two of the official load order for my Legacy of the Dragonborn playthrough. This is taken straight out of the loadorder.txt file generated by Vortex in my Windows 11 VM, and since the same loader is in effect on the Deck, it applies there as well.

    This is current as of the new mods I added to the load order last night, as I wrote about in the previous post. And it’s long, so info is all behind the fold.

    Keeping this around for reference in case anybody wants to know what my load order is for this run!

    Needing to redo Kendeshel’s starting session

    I tried to run Kendeshel last night to take her forward from level 5, only to discover a problem. I started running the quest In My Time of Need in Whiterun, the one where you have to decide between helping the Redguard fugitive Saadia, or the Alik’r warriors led by Kematu who are looking for her.

    The problem: Saadia’s face was fucked up, showing the so-called “black face” bug I’ve seen a lot of references to in looking up how to mod Skyrim properly.
