In Which Finds-The-Way Finds Her Way Out of Helgen
In which the Argonian Finds-The-Way escapes a dragon attack at Helgen, and is recruited by the Jarl of Whiterun to recover a Dragonstone from Bleak Falls Barrow. New playthrough, featuring running in the German language! Expect a lot of language geekery and very long compound nouns. This is a mod-free playthrough, and I will also be tracking how many Achievements I rack up, since I haven't done that before in Skyrim.

Thanks to a disastrous attempt to fix Harrowhark's broken playthrough in Skyrim, I only wound up losing the last several months of her run. So I'm going to have to cancel that playthrough. AUGH.
