I am going through Skyrim withdrawals! Help!

[AJK]

So, I know this is kind of sad, but I'm out of town visiting my father, and I don't have my xbox to play Skyrim on. I want to play so damn bad and I miss by stupid Wood Elf character (can you tell that I need more friends? Probably.... Oh well.)

Soooo to save myself, please share your latest adventure on Skyrim. What did you just do today or the last time you played? Whether that be fighting a dragon, leveling a skill, a quest, something stupid, slaughtering a whole town, running into a glitch, discovering a new location, finally finding something you've been looking for, etc.

Share whatever it may be. Doesn't matter. I look forward to reading!

My Khajiit character had been traveling with Kharjo as of late. He was decked out in dragonplate armor and an ebony helmet, and I in my Nightingale armor and Krosis mask. So we looked pretty badass. I decided it was time to go it alone for a while, so last night I dismissed Kharjo. I figured it would be a good time to do one of my first Dark Brotherhood contracts, which I'd received a few days prior.

I headed to Dawnstar and had fun with Beitild. I pickpocketed her key from her while she was walking to her mine, then waited for her to go to sleep, entered her house and killed her in her bed.

After that I went to Solitude to steal an amethyst from somebody for the Thieves Guild. I noticed the "Lights Out" quest was still in my journal so I decided to finish it. Put out the lighthouse fire, killed the Argonians, yada yada yada, (just watched that Seinfeld episode last night), got some loot.

My general plan for the next little bit of time is to start the Dawnguard quest, and once I finish it, to cure my Lycanthropy. I figure might as well keep the vampirism resistance while I'm fighting vampires. I'm also thinking about using Jordis as a follower for a bit, I just recently purchased Proudspire Manor.

Also, I just got my Enchanting to 100 and got the "Extra Effect" perk. So far I've made an Ebony Bow with Paralyze and Chaos Damage. I'm excited to do some necklaces and things with multiple enchantments. It will be hard to stop me then!

I started Dawnguard and went through the place where you discover Serana, so she's now following me, waiting for me to bring her back home. I made a stop in Dawnstar to finally start the "visit the museum in Dawnstar" quest, then headed back to Proudspire Manor to stash my loot from the dungeon. I decided to go ahead with the Civil War storyline, I had sided with the Imperials but hadn't started the Jagged Crown quest yet.

Has anyone else tried to do the Jagged Crown quest while Serana is following you? I kept having to save and re-start because she would occasionally accidentally hit one of the Imperial soldiers with her magic and then they would start fighting. Since Legate Rikke apparently can't die it seemed to create an endless fighting loop. I tried having her wait behind but she will only stay back so much. When fighting starts she wants blood. A couple of times I was physically restraining her from moving (standing in the way) while the Imperials took care of the Stormcloaks. It took a little bit of doing, but I finally made it through without any friendly fire incidents.

Later, I found myself in Riften doing some things when I decided it was time to Level Up my pickpocketing. I've hardly used it at all so it was at like level 34 or something. I wanted to get it up to 50 so I can get the "extra pockets" perk. I had some enchanted apparel with pickpocketing bonuses so I donned it and went to work. I walked around the market lifting gems from people, and my pickpocketing skill was rocketing up like mad! I think I was around 60 by the time I stopped, and it didn't take much time at all.

Then I went down to the Ragged Flagon to sell off some of the loot, and figured I'd see what the thieves guild members had to steal. Well, I found out something interesting - when the TG members catch you pickpocketing, they don't turn hostile! At least for my character, I've finished most of the TG quests. So it's a good place to practice pickpocketing.

At this point I'm not sure if I want to drop Serana off, or keep her for a while and do other things. I'm considering heading back to Solstheim for a while, I've only explored it a little bit.

I killed thomas the tank engine...

Arnstein-Bjorn is looking to join the Companions, but first he'll need to train some more before going up to impress. To do that, he is going to have to train with the giants. So hitting the markets in Whiterun to prepare for the hard lessons the giants will surely dish out.

Sounds fun, that sounds like an intense situation with Legate Rikke, she's a little intimidating to me lol. But just FYI in case you don't know, if you bring Serana back home, you do one mini quest (for whichever side you pick), and then you can have her join you as a follower. Instead, this time, you can tell her when to wait and go home.

Thanks, I did know you can have her as a normal follower later on. I just wasn't really sure if I wanted to bother with the quest to take her back right now. I probably will though, because I was thinking, Serana is probably going to get in the way again if I'm doing Imperial stuff. I might do the Mehrunes Dagon quest first, then take Serana home, then kick off the battle for Whiterun.

Glad you're back home and getting your fix. I'm a little late but you said to add more if we want and, since I don't know where else to post this...


One of my characters is a young (late teens, early twenties) female Breton who only uses magic. She was created so that I could do the darker quest lines while letting my Nord still be good. She’s a member of the Companions, the Thieves’ Guild, the Dark Brotherhood, and the College of Winterhold but is loyal to none of them. She isn’t what you’d consider evil. She’s more of a sociopath. She would turn on any of them if it suited her and once killed a thief instead of telling him she was a fellow guild member just because she wasn’t in the mood to put up with him. She also feels no remorse if she accidentally kills a follower during battle. She doesn’t own a home and never will, which means she can’t own a lot. Her plan is to max out her Enchanting then enchant some ragged clothes/trousers to essentially be mage’s robes. She is also a werewolf but only uses it for fast travel or to travel while encumbered. Recently I realized she has far too much crap and I needed to clean her up and get her back to her original purpose.


It was night. She was in Riften sleeping in the Bee and Barb. Or at least trying to sleep. She hadn’t been able to sleep since she joined The Circle. But she had never regretted her decision. Her wolf form gave her freedom and made her one with the world around her. Suddenly she woke in a panic, feeling trapped in the room. She had to get out. She didn’t belong here. And not just the room. She bolted up and ran from the inn and out through the city gates. When she couldn’t run any further she transformed and kept running. By the time the transformation wore off she was lost. She wandered naked until she came upon a cage in which a wolf had been trapped. Another was outside the cage, sniffing at the door. Its mate? In the past wolves had always attacked her unless she, too, was a wolf but this one ignored her as she approached the cage. She opened the cage door and, as soon as she did, heard the trapper behind her. “You should never have come here.” He attacked and in the fight that followed the trapper and both wolves were killed. She thinks the trapper killed one but she’ll never really know. However she killed the other. Of that she’s sure. For the first time in her life she felt sadness over a death. A third wolf suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked. Vengeance for her act or its natural instinct? It didn’t matter; the end result was the same. Later that same day she was set upon by a bear and several spiders. While she almost died during the attack at the same time the adrenalin cleared her head. She finally knew who she really was. She’s not a child of the cities. She’s a child of the wilderness. She’ll live off the land and sleep in the caves and forests carrying only what she needs and leaving the rest. She’ll only enter the towns when it suits her immediate needs. She’s a wolf. She’ll drink from the streams and hunt for food. She’s a thief. She’ll take what she needs and buy only what she must. She’s an assassin. She’ll kill without mercy when she has to and feel no remorse. In her mind she’s no longer a human. She’s better.

Hmm my recent skyrim stories well first My vampire Lord character mocked the other vampires for their ridiculous dress sense and their thinblooded inferiority then he turned into a bat and flew outside anyway the Vampire stopped by Northwatch keep afterwards to fuel up on some elven blood to power his blood magic before ripping the inhabitants of that fort into more pieces then one can count then he flew past some horkers on the shore and soon after he found himself in the middle of the whiterun plains playing how far can you throw a giant with many of the giants that frequently inhabit the area then the sun began to rise so then he took shelter away from that cursed star meanwhile a little bit later my Lich character was floating about the same area along the roads when he spotted a group of thalmor escorting a prisoner so then he killed the prisoner to get the elves attention and what does he hear? "elven supremacy is the only truth"? they think they are superior to a Lich with a Dragon's Soul? Seriously? Hahahahaha that made me laugh so then I just vaporized them within seconds before reanimating them as my undead slaves after I was done the end. that was my most recent skyrim story
