In Which the Dragonborn Buys a Horse
This was a very low-key session as I was doing a bunch of side things, to take a break in between doing the Dawnguard plot and doing the Dragonborn plot. My main goals for this session were:
- Visit all my houses where I had loot stashes, and organize, sell, craft, or otherwise deal with a lot of the backlog of loot
- Visit all the towns I’m thane of and invest in any shops I hadn’t invested in yet
- Do the side quests on my queue from the college
- Visit Fort Dawnguard again and see if I could trigger the conversation to persuade Serana to cure her vampirism, and also see if I could trigger any Dawnguard side quests
- Experiment with a game feature I hadn’t played with: riding a horse!
And I did number five first, which helped out a lot with all the other goals for the night.

In Which the Dragonborn Becomes Thane of Riften
For this session, I’d thought about hitting the mage college for the next round of Arniel’s plot, taking care of the situation with the anomaly in Markarth, and then maybe going and wiping out the Dark Brotherhood. I took care of two of these things, but not the third. Instead, I wound up becoming Thane of Riften!
