So tonight I'm sneaking around inside of Rannveig's Fast...when a Stormcloak courier runs by. Inside? Anybody ever have that before?

^ No :D

I love ancient nord armour, just made a trip to Forelhost for a set and a bunch of spares for later. Looks great on a female character and good on a guy too. The great thing about the armour cap is getting to wear almost any type of armour and in practice all sets are as good as each other (weight aside, without perks)

I just wish it had greaves of some kind! But yes, one of my favorite sets. :beermug:

I attended the memorial for Kodlak this morning. It would have been a very somber and sorrowful occasion if Serana hadn't decided to start stoking the skyforge upon where Kodlak's pyre sat.

Thankfully, the companions overlooked Serana's social awkwardness as Aela stood next to her to light the pyre.

I just wanted to say that using the Ritual Stone power when you have killed 12-15 of the dragr in the boss fight chamber of Dead Man's Respite is the most awesome thing ever.
Nah, the best way to use the Ritual Stone is at the siege of Whiterun. Kill all the Imperials and guards outside, raise them, and when you go inside you've got an undead army backing you (I had the Dark Souls perk, and at the end of the battle had 4 Stormcloak, 6 Imperial and 7 guardsmen zombies beating up Balgruff).
I miss being OP.

Ever actually sit in chairs and on benches? It's one of those little touches that no one ever talks about, but I do hope gets carried over to the next installment. If there's a seat available during a long dialog or speech, I take it. Like the time when I took a seat at one of Harkon's long-tables as he and Serana were carrying on. Just one of the guys...when he began speaking to me, I didn't get up. I was comfortable. Then he banished me from the castle... Playing Morrowind, a few times I tried to take a seat somewhere. When I couldn't, I realized how much I'd miss this feature if it were gone.

Also, I was playing Skyrim on a different Xbox, and (because I use discs) as such I had no DLC's. The game felt so weird for some reason. I kept thinking "Why can't I harvest Mudcrab legs?" and "Why won't the Sawmill let me make Flour?" (Hey look at that, two Hearthfire features:)). I just picked up on these things at random (spent the day living a hunters life in Falkreath, gave me some ideas).

I like the Jarl pose. I try to sit like this whenever I'm in an armchair

Jarl_Siddgeir.png


My dream would be having a job where I spend all day in my own office with nothing much to do except deal with people who visit for favours now and then. I could sit like this all day, occasionally sending people off on little tasks to fetch me things or deal with people I don't like

When I was teaching I had a classroom to myself with an armchair at my desk. There was literally nothing stopping me (after classes) playing the Jarl theme tune over the speakers, shifting my high backed armchair to the front of the class and just sitting like this until someone came in to ask for something. Well, the fact that I would have been exposed as a weirdo and I had things to be getting on with were probably what put me off- but nobody could stop me doing it, and I liked knowing that.

I hate mudcrab legs, for a petty reason. When I select a dead mudcrab I just want to select 'take all' with a single click and run off with my one or two mudcrab chitins. Now they've got legs I have to click on the chitin pieces individually then press back to get out, when previously I could have just done the same with fewer clicks. Very petty, I know. I should just take the legs too and eat them later or just throw them away. That makes more sense

My Ingin is sad. :sadface:

As she was wandering through Riverwood on her way to take Esbern to see Delphine, up runs a courier bearing bad news.

Apparently Faendal is dead! Aww... Of course, I have no idea how since I'm not using him as a follower (hey, I'm level 88 now, he wouldn't be appropriate). Nice of him to leave me some gold though.

I went about my merry way, when it hit me that I had made him Steward at Lakeview! By the Nine! What the heck has happened at Lakeview! My kids are there.

So I made my way down to Lakeview to find everything looking pretty normal. My cow was there, as are my chickens and my carriage and there's Ryya as well. Lucia and Blaise are fine.

Oddly though, I can't find my bard anywhere (and I still haven't).

It was as I was inspecting the grounds that I realized that my horse was missing (and apparently dead, since I'd never ridden it at all) and, as I came around the animal pen, there was Faendal, with his head embedded in the staircase. Poor Faendal. Needless to say, I took back the armor and weapons I'd given him, as well as took all his cash and they key to his house in Riverwood (hey, none of that should go to waste!).

Can't move his body and was worried that his corpse would be there forever and disturb the children, but, when I came back a few days later, it was gone.

Now I need to find that dingbat of a bard. Where did he go?

Unlikely to ever find him at this point, I fear. One should be able to recruit from the bard's college. I actually tried when my first bard was killed. I wanted Lisset.

On console, I end up keeping Faendal forever, even though he caps out at 30. With legendary armor and weapons, the right combo of elemental resistance and health enchantments, and a few potions, he's nearly unstoppable, but as soon as you dismiss him, he goes back to clothes and gets chomped by the nearest dragon.

Well, he's Dead so it's too late now. Plus his body has disappeared so I can't even raise and thrall him. :sadface:

3 years and over 200 characters made (it's not as bad as it sounds as over half of them never made it past Helgen) and I noticed that I've never picked the option that said that Hadvar helped me escape from prison when Alvor asks how I know him. How does he react to it?
Good question, neither have I. Hmm...

I don't think I've chosen that option either, but I usually follow them right in. I do know that, if you've followed Hadvar, Alvor's ingots change from "steal" to "take."

I immediately set out for the Riverside Shack near Windhelm when I start a playthrough. No extra loading screens just to dump your stuff and I do love me some leeks.

I wish there's a way I can curate the owner's ribcage.

Every time I have to "Brawl". I switch it to Novice, then play for two more hours forgetting I switched.
spent about half an hour beating up the guy on the markath forsworn quest until I remembered that it might be a good idea to lower the difficulty that I had recently upped to legendary :/
kept punching him until my wrist hurt and wondered why his healthbar wouldnt move.
