Moving along on getting Finds-The-Way’s posts finished up! Here’s her session from August 11th. Main action in this was finishing up Dawnguard, and also the quests for the Fishing content in the AE.

Catchup post for Kendeshel’s Skyrim run! Main action here is post-Alduin, doing some side stuff to acquire Mehrunes’ Razor. Also ran the Unholy Vigil plot in Dawnstar.

Session number 6 in my ongoing active playthrough of Tuxborn, the Skyrim modpack. Main action here: moving the plot along in the Wheel of Time mod included with Tuxborn, but unfortunately not enjoying that very much; running the In My Time of Need plot, this time in favor of Saadia; killing a bandit leader at Silent Moons Camp, this time on behalf of Belethor; and acquiring relics for Auryen at the Dragonborn Gallery.

In Which Elessir Clears Shriekwind Bastion
Jan. 2nd, 2025 03:19 pmCatchup post for my Elessir playthrough in Skyrim, from late August. This is a very short one, just getting this posted to get it out of my queue.

And now, finally, a new post on a current Skyrim playthrough! Here’s the fourth session of my playthrough with Nona the Imperial, featuring the Tuxborn modpack!
Main action: heading to High Hrothgar to talk to the Greybeards, but with a heaping side helping of mod-added content!

Swinging back around for a short catchup post for Kendeshel’s playthrough in Skyrim, now! This one’s very short, and just covers a bit of Kendeshel finishing off the main Companions questline to the point of her becoming Harbinger.

And now, swinging back around to catch up on Elessir’s playthrough! This is his turn to take out Alduin in Sovngarde! But with a hefty side helping of becoming the Guild Master of the Thieves Guild, too.
Also, this post features my first actual run of the Paarthurnax Dilemma mod, and my thoughts on how that played out. So in addition to this being an Elessir session report, it’s also a short review of that mod.

Time to swing back around to Finds-The-Way, to try to catch up some more on her Skyrim playthrough. This post is mostly familiar territory, since it involved moving the Dawnguard plot further along, and in particular running the Soul Cairn. So the main interesting content here is the language geekery! Enjoy!

There’s a big gap between my previous session of Kendeshel in Skyrim and this one–about six months. Part of this is because I decided I was going to go through Finds-the-Way’s and Elessir’s playthroughs, and finish them off before I swung back around to Kendeshel. As of this writing, Kendeshel’s playthrough is now actually finished, but her posts are not.
So here’s me swinging back around to get caught up on Kendeshel’s posts! Main action here is moving the Companions questline along, but with a side helping of working on Mehrunes’ Razor. So this post is fairly light on the commentary, since most of this is stuff I’d played before.
This post contains one very minor spoiler for Legacy of the Dragonborn (a custom location for an artifact normally found during the Fishing quests of the AE).

I am finally done with my very first Skyrim playthrough involving Legacy of the Dragonborn, so I can finally put up some organized thoughts about it! This review will avoid spoilers as much as possible; if you want to see in-depth spoiler commentary, pick any post in Kendeshel’s playthrough, where I talk about my experiences with the mod in depth.
Also, this review is based upon version 5 of Legacy, since that’s what I was running when Kendeshel’s playthrough started. Version 6 dropped before I could finish her run–and I did not update her to 6, on general “because it’s extremely unwise to try to update mods in the middle of a Skyrim playthrough, especially a mod as big as Legacy of the Dragonborn” grounds.
I’ll do a followup post later, since I’ve launched a new playthrough that has version 6. For now, though, this post will focus on what I encountered with version 5.
So let’s start this off with a picoreview out of the gate: I loved the hell out of playing Legacy. I have some quibbles with it, but these quibbles are minor, and are not in the slightest going to keep me from playing through it again.
More behind the fold.

Short catchup post to cover action in early March, for my Orc character Veghra in ESO. This covers a sizable span from mid-March, but only three actual sessions’ worth of doing anything interesting, since Veghra wasn’t getting as much of my attention in March as Gyllerah and Marwyth.
Actual RP action here is Veghra pushing the ESO Main Quest a little farther along.

Initial Commentary on Tuxborn
Nov. 14th, 2024 04:30 pmI hadn’t intended to start my playthrough of the Tuxborn modpack quite yet; I’d been thinking I’d finish Kendeshel’s playthrough first.
But well, hell, it’s been a bad week, and I wanted to do something to lift my spirits a bit. So I got started running my latest Skyrim playthrough, starring Nona the Imperial!
I’m going to put up two posts about this–one to cover the actual played action, and another to cover a bunch of thoughts about all the changes Tuxborn makes to the game. Doing this to cut down on length for each post!
This post will be the one with general commentary about the modpack, so consider this to be the first wave of commentary in what’s likely to be a lot of thoughts to come. Commentary here isn’t in any particular order; it’s just thoughts as they came to me, reviewing the session’s screenshots. But the post is arranged roughly in order of how I encountered things as I played my first session.
And just about all of this commentary is spoiler-free, unless you consider discussion of character appearances, game behavior, and game mechanics spoilers.

In Which Nona Has a Long and Bumpy Start
Nov. 14th, 2024 04:18 pmI hadn’t meant to start a new Skyrim playthrough quite yet–but I decided to change my mind, on general grounds of “well, everything sucks and dammit I want to play some fresh new Skyrim.”
So here you go! Brand new playthrough starting, featuring the Tuxborn modpack. I will have a lot of commentary about Tuxborn and everything in it! This initial post is covering the general action in this first session, but I have a related post up as well, with commentary about the modpack in general.

Quick-ish post to move Elessir’s playthrough catchup a little further along. This session is from mid-April of this year, and mostly features a bunch of running the jobs for the Thieves Guild.

Opening post for March of this year in Gyllerah’s playthrough on ESO. This is a short one, with action featured in Wrothgar: recovering a relic for the House of Orsimer Glories, running the Nikolvara’s Kennel delve; and moving the main Wrothgar plot further along at Graystone Quarry.

In the first week of March of this year, I arguably only had one session for Marwyth that counted as a proper session… but I’m documenting three here anyway, because one of them was parsing, and another let me find an amusing NPC in the Alinor Outlaw Refuge! The post is super short anyway, so I don’t mind a bit of non-adventure detail here.

ESO catchup time again. This is returning to the playthrough I’m running for Veghra the Orc, and this is from late February, just as I was getting Vegs started in the plotline for the Daggerfall Covenant. Other action here includes main quest and Mages and Fighters Guild stuff.

Getting back finally to some catch up on my Finds-The-Way playthrough, which is now completed, but I still need to finish its posts. So here’s the post for the session from August 2nd, where I finished up the Dark Brotherhood plot! Contains a bunch of commentary on the whole Brotherhood plot in general.

Another peek at Gyllerah’s ESO action during the middle of February. This post covers a week of play, but only four sessions with actual RP/adventuring in them. Main highlights: running more action in Wrothgar for the Orsinium plotline; running the Rkindaleft public dungeon; running the Vile Manse in Reaper’s March; and finishing up Azandar’s personal Companion questline!

Finally, a second post for my Orc character Veghra in ESO! This is a super-short one, since this post is mostly just me derping around with Veghra running writs, hitting dolmens and geysers, running surveys, and generally exploring. I wouldn’t normally have spent an entire post on this, but I’ll go ahead and do it for a short one. And there was at least a little bit of main quest action here, too.
