annathepiper | In Which Alecto Escapes a Shipwreck and Wanders South (Reply)

This is the first of my playthrough posts for Alecto the Dunmer, and featuring version 1.0.1 of the Tuxborn modpack. Main action here: trying out the Alternate Start option that strands your character in a shipwreck; getting back to the mainland; having my ass kicked repeatedly until I finally made it to the relative safety of Dawnstar; stopping in Whiterun, and being stymied from proceeding to Riften by bandits also kicking my ass; and finally going to Solitude to talk to Auryen at the LOTD museum, and pick up Katana as a follower.

Since this playthrough is my first time running Katana, I’ve got some review commentary about her in this post, too. (A full review of her and her associated NPCs, Megara and Shale, will come later.)
