Here are my screenshots for the playthrough for the Redguard Kendeshel! I cannot paginate these, so apologies for the length of this album list.
Several of these screenshot galleries contain significant spoilers for the mods I’m running in this playthrough: Legacy of the Dragonborn, Project AHO, Moon and Star, and Wyrmstooth.
And a couple of the galleries are explicitly password-locked. Use the following passwords for these specific galleries:
Session 10: haunting
Sessions 22-23: moonandstar
Kendeshel's New Hairdo 1
Had to use a different hairdo mod because the one I was using to give Kendeshel her lovely cornrows broke all the Redguard female NPCs in my playthrough. Oops. Started over after removing that mod from my load order, and gave Kendeshel a hairstyle out of KS Hairdos instead. Let's see how this works out! First of three shots.
Kendeshel's New Hairdo 2
Second of three shots showing Kendeshel's revised appearance, and the Solitude docks behind her, as well as the entrance to the East Empire Company warehouse.
Kendeshel's New Hairdo 3
Third of three shots showing Kendeshel's revised appearance.
Rumors of Helgen
Eh, I'm sure whatever's going on in Helgen is nothing the Legion can't handle! I mean, how many Stormcloaks could there be there? Five?
A Nice Sturdy Horse
Still not entirely used to the color of this horse after using the red one near Whiterun so much! But I appreciate the chance to vary things up a bit.
Chatty Carriage Driver
And here's that line of Solitude's carriage driver that I liked before, this time with an actual visual to go with it, of my climbing into the carriage. Let's assume we got my new horse to come with us, anyway!
Tell Us How You Really Feel There, Idolaf
It occurs to me to wonder though why Idolaf is the one actually hitting up Adrianne for this order for gear for the Imperials. I always see him in Whiterun, even though he's wearing Imperial armor. Does he actually, like, y'know, get out and fight the Stormcloaks at any point?
Hiring Jenassa
Gotta admit, she does have a hell of a pitch!
Hadvar 1
Well pardon the hell out of me for wanting to come in here and maybe save a survivor or two, asshole. Do you want my healing potion or not?
Hadvar 2
So we're just going to not look for the other guy you came through here with, even though his quest marker is right over here ? No? Guess your differences didn't stay settled for long, then!
Jenassa's Career Choices
I cannot find any flaw in her logic, here.
Now Who the Hell is This, Then?
This guy was hanging out in the Sleeping Giant when I got there. Chatted with him a bit and learned that he was looking for help, but only from someone extremely powerful . No obvious sign of which of the mod plots I've got in this load order he's involved with, since he didn't have any option I could take in his dialogue that would give me a quest. I'll have to check back with him later.
Shipment Crates
Finding two different shipping crate stacks in Whiterun alone probably made Kendeshel think Auryen must be very well connected indeed, if he's got dropoff points set up all over Skyrim. And is presumably paying people to send him stuff and get it conveyed to him.
Contradicting Belethor's Sales Pitch
Found this unfamiliar and expensive thing in Belethor's sales inventory! This does not seem to match his whole 'trinkets, odds and ends' description of his wares. ;D Is he dealing with his own antiquities business on the side? And if so, who exactly in Whiterun does he expect to sell this to?
Clearly Not Looking Hard Enough
I realize I'm a stranger to this land, M'aiq, but--and stick with me here--have you considered maybe looking in an actual city for calipers? Pretty sure you're not going to find any lying around out here.
Heidrun at Camp
Okay horse, I'm going to set up camp here and I need you to stay right here and not let any bandits take either you or the tent. Also, don't get eaten by wolves. And keep the dog company, too. Can you do that? Awesome . Back in a few hours!
A Few More Accoutrements
I like the addition of the cloak and the bandanna to my outfit, except for the part where the bandanna doesn't really clip well with my hair.
Maybe Take Another Look or Two Around, Jenassa?
Because from what I'm seeing so far, these chambers are still home to the ancient Nords. And they aren't exactly pleased that we're here, as you observed yourself!
5 of Walls
Started finding Fate Cards again. I need to remember to store these somewhere so they don't start making a gigantic list in my inventory.
Fate Card Instructions
Useful to know. I suspect it'll be a while before I find enough cards to fill out a deck, though!
Dig Site in Bleak Falls Barrow
So I wonder who was last in here looking for relics?
Pyrite
Pretty sure I can't do anything with this but send it back to the museum or sell it? Will be interested to see later if any of the in-museum replica recipes or anything like that will let me make anything with these additional materials.
Nordic Keystone
Will be interested to see what I do with this, too.
Nordic Fragments
And this.
10 of Demons
I have a hard time buying that a Demons suit of cards would go over well in a Tamriel card game! But that said, the art on it does look cool.
Eager Camilla
Ah, I don't think I've heard Camilla throw this line before! She saw me coming back into her brother's shop with the claw.
Your Observational Skills Are Unsurpassed, Farengar
I am not only not dead, I even brought you that Dragonstone you wanted.
Not Buying the Housecarl's Pep Talk
Don't worry there, my dude, I'm sure Mirmulnir will fry you only a little.
Better Observational Skills Than Farengar
And I gotta admit, killing that dragon was pretty awesome. Though I'm not sure where this urge to yell FUS at the top of my lungs came from.
Not That I Mind the Compliment, But...
Pretty sure you and Irileth and Jenassa and the rest of the guards all had something to do with it too.
Aw, Thank You, Jenassa!
I like you too! I promise to come back and hire you again later.
4 of Walls
Another Fate card, sequential even with one of the ones I've found already? Maybe gathering these things won't take as long as I think...?
Denstagmer's Ring
I feel like maybe I better try to make a replica of this thing, because I really rather want this back in my inventory rather than having it on display!
Second Nordic Excavation Site
This was in the room of Silent Moons Camp underneath that tower trap door. So apparently somebody thought this was a worthy site to explore at some point, at least before they were killed by bandits? Presumably the dead guy with the journal was working on investigating this place.
Bow of Obfuscation
Another thing I'm going to need to make a replica of! Because I am not leaving this bow in the museum, at least not for a while!
Whiterun Guard and Thane Display
Gotta admit, this looks way better than the guard armor collections I've tried to set up in personal houses before! Hopefully Balgruuf won't mind that I brought this greatsword all the way to Solitude to show it off in the museum.
Levitating Meeko
Caught Meeko not lying on the floor while I was in the library, LOL. I think this may be another indicator of what I've read about with Skyrim dogs having way bigger hitboxes than you'd expect for creatures their size? Because Meeks kept pushing me in weird directions as I went through the gallery, and he also did this lying in mid-air thing, too!
Buying a Unique Relic
Something tells me Matriarch Drevlan is not going to be pleased if somebody sold Skull Crusher out from Ashfall's Tear's armory. Unless she is selling their weapons on the sly. ;D DID ALMALEXIA TELL YOU TO SELL THIS STUFF, DREVLAN?
Skull Crusher
And yep, looks like pretty much the same weapon! Looks like the same stats and enchantment as what I see on the wiki for it. Since I also know this weapon respawns in the armory at Ashfall's Tear, maybe you can handwave this as a replica? 😀
