• Finds-The-Way Playthrough,  Skyrim

    In Which Finds-The-Way Becomes Arch-Mage, and Thane of Hjaalmarch and the Pale

    Swinging back around to my ongoing Argonian playthrough in Skyrim! Main action here: becoming Arch-Mage at the College of Winterhold, running Runoff Caverns and getting its assorted quest rewards (including the Dwarven Horse), running Laid to Rest and becoming thane in Hjaalmarch, and killing some giants and helping some Dawnstar residents to become thane in the Pale as well.

  • Kendis Playthrough,  Skyrim

    In Which Kendis Gains a Thaneship and Dawnbreaker

    If you’re looking at this post going “hey, didn’t Harrowhark also just get the thaneship of Falkreath, and Lakeview Manor, and the Masque of Clavicus Vile?”, you are correct. This is kind of what happens when you’re doing two parallel playthroughs, it’s very easy for them to fall into similar patterns!

    Aside from those two things, though, I also raided Faldar’s Tooth and actually saw more of that particular bandit hideout than I ever had done before, so that was cool!

  • Dawnguard,  Delga Playthrough

    In Which Delga Rescues a Vampire and Searches for a Moth Priest

    Primary goal of this session was moving the Dawnguard plot further along, from the point where I rescue Serana to the point where she and I are looking for the Moth Priest.

    With a side helping of killing a whole bunch of dragons, getting issues with the Standing Stones sorted, and selling and stashing stuff in Whiterun!

    (This post is going up on Thursday 12/23, but this is actually for the play session done on Tuesday 12/21.)

  • Delga Playthrough

    In Which Delga Acquires the Rueful Axe

    Main theme of this session was Daedric questing–not only going after the Rueful Axe to satisfy Clavicus Vile, but also bringing Meridia’s beacon to her statue and beginning the quest to get Dawnbreaker!

    And I’m way more interested in Dawnbreaker than the Masque, so Vile’s just going to have to wait until I cleanse Meridia’s temple for her!

    (Posting this late on a Saturday but this is actually the play session for Friday the 5th.)

  • Alarrah Playthrough

    In Which the Dragonborn Takes on Alduin, Round One

    This was a big crunchy run too, not just for length of play time yesterday, but also for big significant plot points that got carried out. And big significant bugs that interfered with my ability to do that, even though I did finally make it through the buggy parts!

    Skyrim is a ten year old game at this point, but I know of at least one player now playing it on the Switch who hadn’t ever played it before. So for the sake of hiding major game plot points, I’m putting everything behind the fold.

  • Alarrah Playthrough

    In Which the Dragonborn Discovers the Oghma Infinium

    This session was basically all about these goals:

    1. Improve my carrying capacity as this is an ongoing problem
    2. Finish up the Discerning the Transmundane quest
    3. Burn through more of my excess building materials by building more things!

    This was a very scattershot sort of session, though, since I bounced around all over the place. And I’m not sure I have everything in exact order. That said, highlights and details behind the fold!
