Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
I’ve discovered the Wheels of Lull. It’s additional content for Skyrim that adds more quests, custom NPC’s with excellent voice work, and kind of a tech theme to it. Not to mention custom weapons and armor. Check out what I’ve obtained:
A fancy watch AND a strange visor. A Skyrim VR Headset perhaps? 😛
Played Skyrim during my lunch break today, because that’s what normal PC Master race types do when they’re forced to take an hour to eat :v. I’m on the same character as my desktop version, but I’ve been taking different paths and making different choices. I finally got into Solitude to watch the execution. Only it wasn’t an execution… It didn’t execute.
Some of them were stripped down to their loin cloths and were left in a stupor. When I spawned the bath-house there is a little basket where you can leave your clothes while you take your bath. Apparenly a couple of the NPC’s not only left their clothes in the basket, but their weapons and scripted death as well. 😛 Had to reload that save. Now when I return I can rekindle my lost bond with corpse buddy. 😀
I spent most of this rainy day adventuring into new worlds. I came across Warriors Vail, which is hidden inside the temple of redemption, a huge haven for vampire cultists… until I showed up. Warriors Vail seemed rather friendly once I entered through the portal from the temple, although this world a bit lacking in a few places. Like on the hunting grounds.
After claiming ownership of a house in the Vail I traveled to Solitude where I had a bath, and then laid with my best friend looking up at the beautiful night sky.
I was really distraught when I came back the next day in game to find that my corpse buddy had gone away. Did we not bond well that night?!?!?! CORPSE BUDDY WHY?!?!?!?!?!
My friends have been listening to my small bits of commentary during gameplay while we’re chatting in Mumble, and we think I should keep what I spout out in a journal. So that we can place my words into another book for the potential mod we’re working on. I’ve also been toying with the idea of an In Character Skyrim blog, but I’m still not sure. I’d center it around my current Skyrim Character, which isn’t exactly a lore friendly, and parts of my adventures aren’t always lore friendly either. I think for now I’ll keep my ideas in a notepad until I either decide to go through with it, or when the mod is done. I’ll just sit and mull it over for the time being.
Last Saturday evening my Skyrim character could no longer save once I returned to Wyrmstooth. But much like the mighty pheonix my character was reborn anew. Starting over again isn’t so bad considering there are lots of different ways of playing the game, even morseo if you add tons and tons of mods. My friends recommended some to me that add extra lands and objects to the game, and I even ventured out on my own to make the game “fabulous”.
That armor…. That hair!
I found an interesting lair today a bit outside Whiterun.
Going inside leads you to a gem dragon. Upon destroying it you’ll earn it’s head and some other swag.
I’ve also added some different children to the game. One thing that always bothered me was that you had all these races you could play as and run into… but the children are so plain and look so much alike. So I added a mod that improves how the children look, added extra children’s clothing, and even added little khajits.
My new character is completely different! I added a scarf…
My playstyle is a bit different this time around. I’m taking the time to learn more about alchemy, and doing some enchanting here and there. I’m not sure how anyone can properly claim to “finish” this game. It feels like it never ends.
I reached a sad point in my Skyrim game that lead my game to crash every time I tried to save after awhile. It happened in one of my castle mods, then I backtracked to an earlier save and had issues again when trying to leave or save within the Soul Cairn.
With guidance of my friends I installed Mod Organizer and went through a clean reinstall of my mods. My goal was to get everything nice and neat, then create a new character. But I loaded my saves and the crashing was gone. So now I’m not so sure… I think I’ll just ride it out until I have problems again. So far I spent a good few hours running around the land doing quests and going about my business. So for now it seems my adventures haven’t been brought to a screeching halt.
I’ve gotten back into Skyrim again over the last few days. Partly because there’s still so much to do in it, and so many more places to visit since I’ve installed more mods. We’ve also been taking ideas from my dreams, like throwing the idea around of creating a custom adventure. If this became an actual thing it would probably remain a private adventure because it wouldn’t make sense to anyone else. But basically we’re giving my character a story. We already have a book and a ring, so that’s pretty cool.
I won’t go into full detail about it, as that could become a novel. But the ring is cursed and the book I found explains what the curse does among other things. The curse itself isn’t really terrible either. In fact it’s quite fabulous you could say, and overall strange. I can’t really explain it without going into full detail. And the details would ruin most peoples Skyrim immersions. :v
But ever since I was younger I’ve always liked taking my dreams and doing things with them. I would turn them into stories, and later on when software and computers became more powerful I would turn them into animations, now my Skyrim dreams seem to be transforming into a mod. 😀
If you are reading this I need help: This game has taken over my life. Can’t… Focus… Oh look more mods!
I haven’t really had much to write about but I’ve had plenty to keep busy with. Things like what you don’t ask? How about some Skyplatoon?
I’ve been having fun painting all of Skyrim and killing enemies with blue and orange inks. I even killed a dragon.
I’m currently wandering the land of Wyrmstooth; it isn’t perfect but it’s still loads of fun. If you haven’t played it yet and want new land to explore you should download Wyrmstooth and Falskaar. Both are amazing new world mods with lots of looting and adventuring. I’ll probably wander around in it some more later. I also played some Skyrim during my lunch break the last couple days… I think I need mental help. That’s not really because of Skyrim though, I’ve needed mental help for years. 😛

It’s a multiplayer mod, a very buggy one at that. But it seems to hold the most promise so far, that and lots of players running around in their undies…
I like how Rick and Morty continue to invade gaming. I just found this video, and while I don’t really play Dota 2 I was really amused by it.

Seems to be official. Unlike the Rick and Morty Skyrim mods, although those did get a tip of the hat from Rick and Morty’s creator.
