    In Which Kendeshel Joins the Imperial Legion and the Companions

    I thought I was done with commentary on Project AHO, but not quite. Got a couple more minor spoilery comments about the AHO in this post, pertaining to rewards given in that mod and how they apply to my playthrough moving forward, as well as Kendeshel’s mindset after her experiences with that plot.

    Also, spoilery commentary in this post about Legacy of the Dragonborn as well, as this features the Shadows of One’s Past quest for that mod.

    Aside from that, action in this post that isn’t mod-specific includes getting the Daedric plate armor, cleaning out the first Saints bandits camp for the Saints and Seducers quest, joining the Imperial Legion, joining the Companions, running Dead Men’s Respite, doing the civil war champions fight, and running Korvanjund to get the Jagged Crown.

    In Which the Dragonborn Hunts for Fun and Profit

    No particular goal to yesterday’s Skyrim playing, really; I wanted another break from the bigger quests, and to see what I could do about building a gold reserve to go buy Proudspire Manor. Plus, I wanted to use the elven bow for a while to hunt things and refill some of my soul gems. But even though I had no particular quest-related goal, I did have a few interesting encounters!

    So what I wound up doing included:

    • Another hunting run in the plains around Whiterun
    • Encountered M’aiq the Liar
    • Encountered a jester-type character called Cicero
    • Additional smithing and potion crafting to sell stuff
    • Following up on a treasure map I’d come across to find a treasure near Riverwood
    • Killing another dragon (like you do, if you’re the Dragonborn)
