#lotro challenge (3)
11. Pic of your choice I’m fairly certain that this is Bâr Húrin (Húrin’s Home), South Ithilien, the ancestral home of the Stewards of Gondor. I was really struck with how pretty this whole area is,...

View Article#skyrim special edition – mods
well so much for my mod light playthrough /cough. Here a list of mods I’m using, the modders have been absolutely awesome at getting their mods converted, there are still a couple I’m waiting/hoping...
View Article1 – a new start
[decided I wanted it on my blog after all – a vaguely in character diary of my playthrough] I received a letter saying that my Aunt had left me her house in Falkreath, in her will. As my face may have...
View Article2 – the house
We arrived at my Aunt’s house and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a large, well furnished building with plans for a new bedroom, a kitchen and an alchemy tower. I found a stash of building materials...
View Article3 – caves and dragons
I feel this diary entry title could benefit from some alliteration, it’s a shame I wasn’t investigating Dungeons today… anyway, I left Rayya finishing the house-building with some locals she had...
View Article4 – Helgen
We arrived at Helgen to find it burning and abandoned. Where did everybody go? I hope some escaped. We need to warn the people of Riverwood which is close by, as they may be next. As we were wandering...
View Article5 – Whiterun
I took the opportunity to sell the items we had looted from the bandits and my purse is now comfortably heavier. I bought some iron ingots for the house needs and Lester is now carrying these for me....
View Article6 – bleak fall barrows
Ugh, a tomb filled with bandits, skeevers and the undead. Lester wisely refrained from making any smart remarks. We were both straining under the weight of looted goods, who knew the Nords buried so...
View Article7 – ale
[rate of posting will slow down once I’ve caught up ;)] We stopped off at Riverwood to sell some of our loot and restock some provisions. We may have stopped at the Sleeping Giant Inn for a...
View Article8 – Dragon!
I spent a few days at home, I was nursing a dreadful hangover and felt like I’d had a fight with a giant. Once recovered, I travelled back to Farengar, who was very pleased with the discovery. While we...
View Article9 – wait, what?
[for those reading through Feedly, or another reader, I’m using a featured image for each post which may not show up. It’s not necessary but visit the blog if you want to see them] I’m supposed to...
View Article10 – enough
[I’m using darker nights mod, full list of most of the mods I’m using can be found here] I left. I did leave a note, apparently the cold is still getting to me. I’m halfway to Riften now, the Khajiit...
View Article11 – don’t kid a kidder
On the way to Riften, I came across an injured man who claimed he’d been attacked by bandits and left for dead. I gave him a healing potion and agreed to escort him back to his camp. I was slightly...
View Article12 – Riften
It was a long journey, I did have a few stops along the way to stock up and check I was heading in the right direction. This Thieves Guild doesn’t seem to be doing very well. Their recruiter Brynjolf,...
View Article13 – thieving
I’ve been keeping the carriage drivers of Skyrim in business! I’ve been running burglary and numbers jobs for Vex and Delvin. I like these jobs as they are quick, quiet and effective. The Thieves Guild...
View Article14 – it’s cold
[vaguely in-character diary of my playthrough | all entries | mods I’m using] I’m keeping my head down. Rumours are flying about the dragonborn appearing but I’ve heard so many different descriptions,...
View Article15 – change of plan
[vaguely in-character diary of my playthrough | all entries | mods I’m using] I’m not going to Snow Veil Sanctum! I am so happy I don’t have to brave the snows! Brynjolf pulled rank on me and wants...
View Article16 – windhelm
[before I started this, I thought oh yes, I’ll just write up my playthrough in the form of diary. easy I thought. I soon realised that just writing up the quests as is, was very boring so I tried a...
View Article17 – a loss
I returned from my job in Windhelm to find that Frey had returned. Alone. Brynjolf had been murdered by Karliah at the Sanctum. I can’t believe he is dead – he always seemed so competent and in...
