This is the page for my Skyrim playthrough for the character Nona, wandering Imperial.
Nona’s playthrough has as its major goal running the Tuxborn modpack, which is a Wabbajack-based load order explicitly assembled with the Steam Deck in mind! It is a huge load order, nearly 1,600 mods, and as such will also include a whole lot of mods I’d already had my eye on, conveniently rounded up in one place.
Those interested can find more information on Tuxborn on its Github page.
This will also be my second attempt at a Legacy of the Dragonborn playthrough, since Tuxborn features v6 of that mod, and my prior character running Legacy (Kendeshel) is using v5.
And last but definitely not least, this character is going to be take two of my failed Harrowhark playthrough. As such, she is most likely going to wind up a necromancer, and possibly also a vampire. Tuxborn includes Sacrosanct, a lightweight vampire mod, which ups my interest in taking another crack at that.
As anyone familiar with the Locked Tomb series of books by Tamsyn Muir will likely guess right away, Nona, like Harrowhark, is named for a major character in that series. Astute readers will also see right away how I’ll be playing Nona as compared to Harrowhark!
Nona’s Backstory
Ah, now that’s going to be the tricky part.
Tuxborn includes Alternate Start, and I’ll be starting Nona’s playthrough with the option that lets you start off with having been attacked and left for dead. I’m going to take that as an excuse to have Nona start off entirely amnesiac. So she won’t even remember her own background!
(Which is probably for the best, given that she’ll also have had some version of the same background I gave to Harrow. Muahaha.)

- Initial Commentary on Tuxborn - 11/14/2024A post with my initial impressions of the Tuxborn modpack for Skyrim. Including how leveling works; changes to the look of the world and the characters; UI changes; map and music changes; new armor on NPCs and available to the player; some bumpiness with settings I needed to figure out how to change; and more!
