annathepiper: My character Nona the Imperial in Skyrim using the Tuxborn modpack (Nona in Skyrim)

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!

annathepiper: My character Elessir the Dunmer in Skyrim (Elessir in Skyrim)

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.

annathepiper: (Alan LOL)

Long overdue post, this was the last session we did in Skyrim Together, way back at the end of August! Action covered in this run: advancing the Thieves Guild plot; reporting to the Greybeards finally on High Hrothgar; going after the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller; meeting up with Delphine and killing Sahloknir at Kynesgrove; and returning the Horn to the Greybeards.

annathepiper: My character Harrowhark the Imperial in Skyrim (Harrowhark in Skyrim)

And now, to swing back around to my ex-vampire in Skyrim! This is a multi-session post, just because I’m way behind on getting posts up in general. But also because most of this is familiar territory, and I didn’t have new to say to do all of these in fewer sessions per post.

annathepiper: My character Harrowhark the Imperial in Skyrim (Harrowhark in Skyrim)

This is a multi-session post, but it actually replicated some of the action I did in running Moonpath to Elsweyr. Because y’all may recall that at the end of my Moonpath to Elsweyr post, I reported seeing some crashing behavior on the way out of the area set up by the mod.

This behavior has, unfortunately, persisted. And investigating what was going on caused me to have to roll back a bit, as I will detail under the fold.

annathepiper: My character Kendis the Redguard in Skyrim (Kendis in Skyrim)

Main action in these sessions: getting started with Dawnguard, and in fact making serious inroads on the plot, getting all the way through running the Soul Cairn and getting Valerica’s Elder Scroll. And in between all of this, I kept bouncing back to Whiterun trying to spawn the Traveler. Which did in fact finally help me solve the problem with Carlotta and Mila being stuck!

Meanwhile, I also picked up the thaneship in Winterhold! For free, pretty much, since I’d already helped enough people and had put the new Jarl into power by way of winning the war.

And last but not least, I got onto the trail of finding the Dragon scroll, needed not only for Dawnguard, but for the main plot as well.

annathepiper: My character Kendis the Redguard in Skyrim (Kendis in Skyrim)

This was a very eventful session, in which I managed to get both Goldenhills Plantation and Hendraheim for Kendis, and also finally make it up to High Hrothgar to see the Greybeards. At which point I discovered exactly how big of a problem Survival Mode makes out of getting up and down High Hrothgar.

annathepiper: My character Faanshi the Khajiit in Skyrim (Faanshi in Skyrim)

As predicted, I spent another couple of sessions finishing up Faanshi’s playthrough so I could free the Switch for running Survival Mode! This therefore is Faanshi’s last session post, covering both of the sessions I did with her.

Main actions in this pair of sessions: defeating Miraak in Apocrypha, Ahzidal in Kolbjorn Barrow, and Alduin in Sovngarde!

annathepiper: My character Harrowhark the Imperial in Skyrim (Harrowhark in Skyrim)

This is a double session post! I would split these up into individual posts–except that a good part of the first session had to get retconned due to very strange aggressive behavior from Lydia! So I redid a lot of that content in the session after, and I’m bundling the two together in this post.

Got a whole lot of quests started, and most notably of the bunch: I have now met Vilja, since I’m running her follower mod! Lots of commentary on her and everything else behind the fold.

annathepiper: My character Shenner the Nord in Skyrim (Shenner in Skyrim)

This post covers Shenner’s final sessions, two sessions in which I made a hard push through the end game: confronting Alduin on the Throat of the World, arranging the peace conference to pause the war, trapping Odahviing at Dragonsreach, fighting my way through Skuldafn, and last but most definitely not least, slaying Alduin in Sovngarde.

annathepiper: My character Shenner the Nord in Skyrim (Shenner in Skyrim)

I actually did main plot stuff in this session–i.e., visiting Paarthurnax and getting the objective to find the Elder Scroll, and learning the Clear Skies Shout–but I’m way more amused by how I got word that a song was written about how awesome I have become at fishing. LOL. Spent time on other side quests as well, finishing off the Pets plotline, recovering a staff for Enthir to get Onmund’s amulet back, and finding a couple aspects of the game that were buggy even though I’m running the USSEP in this playthrough.

annathepiper: My character Faanshi the Khajiit in Skyrim (Faanshi in Skyrim)

Continuing action with the main game plot here, basically running straight from going into the Ratway to find Esbern, up through meeting Paarthurnax, and then going back to the mage college to ask Urag how to find the Elder Scroll.

With a side helping of, as always, dragon fighting!

This post was for play done on Tuesday 6/28.

annathepiper: My character Shenner the Nord in Skyrim (Shenner in Skyrim)

Big, busy session with a lot of action in it, a mix of old stuff and new stuff! Main highlights: ran Ustengrav; went to Kynesgrove with Delphine and slew Sahloknir; acquired the new version of the dragonscale armor; slew the dragon and the Dragon Priest Krosis at Shearpoint; got a new bunny pet; and got the orcish plate armor you can get by clearing Embershard Mine and investigating the orc smith there!

This session was run on Saturday 5/28.

This session on PC was a mix of familiar stuff and new stuff. On the familiar side, we have visiting High Hrothgar for the first time, running Shroud Hearth Barrow, and moving the quest In My Time of Need further along by talking to Saadia. On the unfamiliar side, we have the quest to acquire a suit of Silver Armor!

Also, I have commentary behind the cut about my current mod list (it’s short), and my current FPS performance.

As one does upon finding out one is Dragonborn and being summoned by the Greybeards, Faanshi went on the strongly urged pilgrimage to High Hrothgar. Which, this time through, provided rather more challenging than previous playthroughs!

annathepiper: My character Ysani the Breton in Skyrim (Ysani in Skyrim)

This post, as anticipated, covers Ysani’s final session! Started with the peace council at High Hrothgar, hit two different dragon lairs, and then finally reported to Dragonsreach to call Odahviing–leading to Skuldafn, and finally, to Sovngarde!

annathepiper: My character Ysani the Breton in Skyrim (Ysani in Skyrim)

Back to a single session post this time, but one that packs a lot into it. Because I got Vorstag inducted into the Blades–and then returned to the main plot, having round one of the fight with Alduin and then proceeding to set up the peace conference at High Hrothgar!

annathepiper: My character Ysani the Breton in Skyrim (Ysani in Skyrim)

This is another session in which a lot more went on than I can easily fit into the subject line of the post! So let’s run with being recognized as the Dragonborn by the Greybeards, since that’s the thing most relevant to the game’s main plot.

Other highlights of this session include advancing the mage college plot far enough along to go to Mzulft, following Delphine to Kynesgrove and slaying Sahloknir there, a fair number of challenges fighting both dragons and cultists, and questing into Dead Men’s Respite in search of King Olaf’s verse for the Bards College.
