Skyrim Together Playthrough

This is the page for play sessions in Skyrim Together Reborn, a mod that allows you to play Skyrim with friends in a party. In September 2022, my wife Dara, her friend Mel, and I started playing with this mod just to see what kind of play experience it gives! Answer: so far, kind of hilarious.

I’m not going to go into as much character roleplay depth in this playthrough as I’m doing on my main Skyrim playthroughs. The reason for this is that the point is more to play with friends, so I’m taking this a bit less seriously than I do the main posts. So I’m not going to worry about developing a backstory or anything for the character I’m using for this.

(But I will note that I’m playing a character called Luciriel, named after the queen of the Unseelie Court in my Free Court of Seattle books! She’s an Altmer, and I’ll be playing her primarily as a mage.)

Nonetheless, I wanted to write about it, just so I can share the experiences of how it goes!
