Went up the mountain level 2, came back down again level 5
Twitter thread from May 4, 2021, in which I successfully run Bleak Falls Barrow and make it back down the mountain!
Today’s Things Accomplished in Animal Crossing: K.K. Slider made it to my island! And will do songs every Saturday, joy oh glee! And now Tom Nook’s given me access to build paths on the island as well, so now I can do additional landscaping.
11:10 PM · May 4, 2021Today’s Things Accomplished in Skyrim: Went up the mountain level 2, came back down again level 5, by which I mean Bleak Falls Barrow _accomplished_.
11:10 PM · May 4, 2021Lots of creepy dark corridors filled with creepy dark draugr, one very cranky and very large spider, and one bandit asshole who got what he deserved by triggering a trap after I went to the trouble of rescuing his ass from the spiderwebs.
11:11 PM · May 4, 2021Took the Golden Claw off of him, eventually found the door it opened, AND the dragon wall with the word of power on it.
11:11 PM · May 4, 2021(“Whoa,” said the player. “Whoa,” said the she-elf in character, as both player and character figure that that wall was something Important. ;))
11:11 PM · May 4, 2021Returned to Riverwood to give the trader his claw back and now his sister is a lot friendlier. Elf archer Faendal is still very, very surly at me however.
11:11 PM · May 4, 2021Next on the agenda: returning to Whiterun to give the Jarl and his wizard the Dragonstone! Which, I am advised, will trigger the next chain of Very Important Plot Events.

Made it up to Bleak Falls Barrow
Thread from May 3, 2021, in which I’ve progressed far enough in learning the controls that I’m ready to take on Bleak Falls Barrow!
Today’s Things Accomplished in Animal Crossing: paid off third bridge on the island, also paid off loan on the second room of the house, and oh hey somebody named “K.K. Slider” wants to come to the island and Tom Nook flipped his shit about this.
9:16 PM · May 3, 2021I’m all “does he play fiddle and do podorythmie and sing in French? No? Then WHY DO I CARE okay fine fine I’ll pretty up the island”. 😉
9:17 PM · May 3, 2021Today’s Things Accomplished in Skyrim: made it up to Bleak Falls Barrow, a very aptly named place, although sneaking up there just before the break of dawn let me see some _stunningly gorgeous_ auroras. Screencapped that shit.
9:17 PM · May 3, 2021Also killed another wolf and, in a first, several bandits! They were all yelling variations on “YOUR KIND HAS NO PLACE HERE” (read: because I’m a Wood Elf), and I was all “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you over the sound of my STABBING YOU INTO OBLIVION, Chucky”.
9:17 PM · May 3, 2021Also, levelled up to 3, picked up stamina and ability to make steel things in smithing, and grabbed a bunch of gold and interesting loot. Made it as far as the bandit campfire just before the menacing-looking passageway down into where all the scary shit probably is. FUN TIMES!
