Well?

Last few days I've created a Forsworn agent concept. Well, not so much "agent". She walks around in the 'uniform' without a care in the world. And before she even hit level 5, she had a few bounties in a few holds.

Alas, I could not keep that up for long. Eventually my practical nature overrode my roleplaying and had to visit towns, clear the bounty in whatever method I could, and start using their facilities. (Especially when I began leveling smithing).

So, the Wanted achievement (1000 bounty in every hold) will have to wait. For now. At least until the guards stop kicking my ass.

I also got her the Savior's Hide, and it looks tribal enough. Indeed, I daresay she looks like a distinguished member of the Forsworn! Though I wish, after that quest, most forsworn would stop attacking me other than a single bloody camp. Would make my roleplay a tad more viable.

Anyway, she's around level 22 or so... Gonna get her last 6 points of smithing and then resume the companions questline so I can get Aela as a wife (and a free archer trainer). Funfun.

I'll bite.

I'm trying to get to Ivarstead to speak to Fastred about her prays to Mara. Now, wait, that's not as easy as it sounds.

Attempt one: I buy a horse in Riften, meet bandits on the way, they shoot the horse from underneath me and I get killed. Back to Riften.
Attempt two: I buy the horse, mount, a dragon flies over Riften and engages me in a battle. I die.
Attempt three: I buy the horse, dragon swoops over but doesn't notice me. I head off, meet a Thalmor prison-colonne on the way, naturally I kill the Thalmor and free the prisoner. Walk into Ivarstead, get arrested. Back to Riften.
Attempt four: Buy the horse, get to Ivarstead, decide to visit the pub first to drink to my arrival. I get given a bounty letter for the dragon at Autumn Watch Tower. Then I notice this stranger in the corner who invites me to a drinking competition... .
Attempt five: make my way back to Ivarstead, cursing all the way. Decide to take on the dragon first.
Attempt six to twelve: my, he is one tough bastard!
Attempt thirteen: I arrive at Ivarstead, battered, bruised, covered in dragon blood and in a really foul mood. I grab the girl and drag her to her boyfriend, all the while yelling at them to get their behinds to Riften and not to bother me anymore!

I am never, ever going back to that town.

Recently started the stormcloaks questline. To arms!

I've been going through and getting all of the shouts. I'm almost done. In the meantime I've done the main quest and the companions quest. Now starting the mages guild quest.

Now that I've gone to all the trouble to get the Dragonstone in order to get Breezehome.... I think I want to start the MQ.

The sane person inside of me is screaming NOOO!!, but my character Sasha is whining about needing more excitement in her life...

Eyes-Of-War just went over to Riverwood to kill Alvor because he put a contract out on me for stealing some Ingots from his forge. I wanted to do it in fancy evil fashion so I attempted to kill his wife, thrall her and have her murder him, but it didn't work out so well, I ended up having to kill half the population of Riverwood, including all of the guards, and either Jenassa or my Flame Thrall killed Alvor instead of his wife.

I quit the game after that since I have to go to work in a little while, I will attempt it again later.

Killed Heimskir the priest of Talos. It was so worth the fine.
I killed him in full view of everyone and waited for a guard, paid the fine.
The man never shuts up! I could'nt go for a walk through my own town without him bellowing constantly.

Next on the list.
Nazeem, muhahaha.

"...your family, your children, EVEN YOUR LIVES?!!?!?!"

lol. well done.

Derik and Lydia, got Esbern out of the ratway, took him for a carrige ride to Whiterun, then a nice pleasent walk to Riverwood. Then Lydia, Delphine, Esbern and Derik made their way towards Skyhaven Temple, he lost Delphine and Esbern along the way, Had to fight one Foul tempered Blood dragon. Found Delphine and Esbern right outside the Temple....they all fought their way inside. Derik and Lydia then had to make a trip to High Hrothgar and got to speak to "The leader" of the Greybeards. From there Lydia and Derick headed North to Winterhold. Along the way they stopped at Windhelm where Derik helped to catch a local serial Killer. After a very quick trip to the College they are headed further north to find a crazy old man. After all this excitment Derik think's he may have to take a quick trip home and relax for a day or so.

My stage 4 vampire just finished the DB quest and now she is going to travel the back roads of skyrim and perfect her assassination skills. She will try to remain stage 4 as much as possible.

Level 3 redguard. So far, he's just hung about Falkreath, cutting wood, hunting and slowly exploring the area about. He's done no quest and right now has no desire to. He's visited with Angi and learned some archery from her. My first char had done all but the last few side quests to finish the TG questline, sided stormcloack in the CW, finished the main quest, school of winterhold's questline, and explored a whole bunch (but not all- damn there is a lot to see and find and do). He took out the DB and ignored the bards entirely.

This character? I have no idea what he's going to do. He's avoiding his responsibilities. Why wouldn't he? He was almost beheaded coming to claim what he was told was his birthright. So he's a bit ... uninterested in the politics of Tamriel at the moment. Can you blame him?

honestly, i am 95% of the time finding new mods, 3% of the time trying them, and 2% of the time actually playing. The only progess i actually made was 2 weeks ago, when i try to walk all the way from dawnstar to falkreath without dying. Well, i ended up with 3000 bounty on the way. Dam farmers...

Niamh is revisiting Fort Amol on the way to Snapleg. She's just got hold of the books from the renegade mages and plans - (actually she never plans) - on taking an indirect route back to Windhelm.
She has a vague thought to head back east to markarth and then double back to Rorikstead, where there is some outstanding business to be done.
Oh and she found one of those walls full of words. They look like they should be significant but she can't for the life of her figure out what they are for.
And... Dragonpriests are HARD.

Presently, I'm summoning 20 Arch Pyromancers at the gates of Whiterun and 150 Stormcloak mages, archers and swordsmen at Dragonsreach. God, what a battle! Staying alive is near impossible, I love it.

Jerian - Dragonborn, Thane of Whiterun and Apprentice of the College of Winterhold - made his way from High Hrothgar to Fort Hraggstad. There he slaughtered many a bandit with Lydia at his side, before returning to Legate Rikke. He then proceeded to Korvunjud, where he recovered the Jagged Crown with his legion comrades. True, as a mage he prefers his robes over his Legion light armor, but he's a proud legionnaire, and wore his armor with pride throughout the battle. He's currently resting in Solitude's inn. Come morning, he'll deliver the Crown to General Tullius.

Edit: Lisette (the Bard in the winking skeever inn) just wandered into Jerian's room, sat down and began drinking from her tankard. As he approached her, she said 'sit down, have a drink and rest your feet a while! Perhaps Jerian could be in for an interesting night ...?

I'm trying to gimp myself not trying to use bows or lockpicks and using ONLY destruction in a spellsowrd character...

Locked chests and places are a minority in this game but I do miss the bow to exploit the deficiencies in the NPC ai

The whiterun marketplace is getting thinned out. I recently killed Nazeem (flawless, no bounty) and completed the contract on Anorian (sp?) the hunter/meat vendor (botched, triggered bounty and guards would not accept my yield so I found Sigurd and punched him and then was able to yield. Paid 500 gold fine - thieves guild discount for murder).

Went to Solitude to 'enjoy' a wedding! (flawless, no bounty). Now that was fun. Seeing the father of the groom (nord) and mother of the bride (Imperial) arguing is funny. If you find yourself at the wedding don't forget to speak to Nura Show-Shod (mother of groom) she has a funny comment about her new daughter-in-law.

Now I am hanging out with a spectral assassin at my side. Nice enough fellow but boy does he dance around alot in battle! I guess I need to be more careful with my bow......

I finally reached 100 in enchanting and smithing and craft myself a full set of double enchanted glass armor. I was so happy. It was hard leveling up smithing in 1.5. Then 5 minutes later I feel too overpowered and and not having fun anymore. I dump all my glass gear and get myself a wolf armor set and skyforge steel sword, and my heavy armor skill is going up very quickly. I'm back to having lots of fun.

Brunjild Hanin has realised that joining a group of rogue Mages and exploring Dwemer ruins was a very bad idea. Her former mentor was correct about the location of the famous Alchemist Sinderion, but Sinderion was long dead. He was most likely a victim of the same Dwemer Sphere that killed her mentor and revealed the fact that his other assistants were just Thralls. Sinderion's journal revealed that his former apprentice may have a use for the Crimson Nirnroots she has collected while exploring this strange place, before the residents became hostile. The Ruin her group entered was on the other side of this ancient chamber, and is to close to the Dwemer fortress that is occupied by the Falmer and thier cannibalistic slaves, perhaps the Giant can be tricked into assisting in her escape? Hopefully the elevator close to her hiding place still works.

That's some real bad luck right there! I bet you were wishing you could just hire a carriage to take you there, eh?

Flying Snow is resting in the courtyard of a fort after being attacked. She's a little dizzy and can't quite place her location on her map. She doesn't want to go wandering off into the wilderness without knowing which way she's headed.

Winter is so harsh in Skyrim. After slaying a pesky dragon atop a mountain near Morthal, Faeron has headed home. Now he's on his way to Whiterun, where he'll stop for the night and then proceed to Windhelm. He has to prepare for an even more tiring journey, for he has to speak with the Greybeards about what has been discovered on Alduin's Wall.

Jerian has been fulfilling his duty to the Imperial Legion - he was instrumental in reclaiming the Pale and the Rift, not to mention preventing the Stormcloak soldiers from getting anywhere near Whiterun! He's enjoying a meal in Solitude this evening - it seems to be becoming his home. My other characters always seem to like Whiterun or Riften, but apparently Jerian is different! And a guard mentioned to him that there's a house for sale in Solitude. Perhaps, when the war is over, he'll talk to the steward about making a purchase?

He's been neglecting his College of Winterhold studies - the librarian asked him to retrieve some books pertaining to the orb they found in Saarthal, but he's too afraid. He visited the fort the rogue Mage's with the books were hiding in, and was nearly blown to pieces by the few mages on the exterior of the fort! He has no intention of going INSIDE the fort for quite some time!

Well it's not been the best, to be honest...
...First, Niamh got svckered into "escorting" some idiot name of Telrav who promised her bandits to kill - turned out that was him. This has done nothing for Niamh's innate distrust of EVERYONE. Then in Ivarstead she gets stopped by the guards - on this occasion she chose to pay rather than fight, sometimes even she can see that hacking everything to bits is not always the sensible option.
Of cause, she ended up in Riften - mind you it's not like she can't afford it.

Still and all, the occupants of Greenwall fort benefitted from her newly-elevated levels of rage.
Although I suspect they don't see it quite that way...

We just left Hag's End where I used the Slow Time shout for the first time. The Hag didn't seem to move at all while the Staff of Fireball was blasting her but when the shout wore off, she went flying off the balcony. I never found her. After that, Barbas, who I had decided could come along and help, pushed me off the balcony. I tried to Fus Ro Dah him for a little payback but no luck. It's time to find that axe for Clavicus Vile and take Barbas home to his Master.
