18 what to do
Frey has gone. Without telling anyone, very unusual. Did he get a lead regarding Karliah? I think I need a backup plan, I’m not sure where this Guild is headed. Perhaps I ought to see if I can gain...

19 a new Thane
Well, a now defunct skooma operation, some fire salts and ice wraith teeth later and the Jarl here has offered me a Thaneship. I’ll have to keep my nose clean in Riften now, but it should be a good...

20 Nightingale
I don’t even know where to start. I don’t even want to write this down in any detail. I think it mostly ended well. Short version – Brynjolf isn’t dead! Karliah isn’t the enemy, Frey was, he’s now...

21 really?
Lester found me in Riften. I didn’t think he would come after me. He’s staying at The Bee & Barb and wants me to go to the Greybeards. He’s refusing to leave until I agree so I’m avoiding him...

22 Solitude (the town not the state of being unfortunately)
The job went well, well sort of. I hadn’t planned on having a hulking, blond Nord blunder about behind me while I’m trying to be discreet. I don’t know how he managed to follow me, I tried to shake...

23 a new tent
My new fur tent was an amazing investment! It actually keeps me warm, even on the North coast! Lester had gone from the path by the time I returned – I think I must have finally convinced him. Even...

24 dawnstar
The museum of Dawnstar was incredibly disappointing – seems to be more of a front to lure adventurers in to collect pieces of a daedric weapon than an actual museum. I’ve had enough of Daedric Princes...

25 thalmor
I’m now travelling south with Lester, towards Ivarstead. He caught up with me yet again, this time with a Thalmor in tow! That was a meeting I wanted over very quickly. Part of the reason I ran to...

26 bears
It is slow going in this cold. I do seem to be acclimatising a little to the cold, but we still need to make frequent stops so I can thaw. One such stop was in a cave, I felt quite guilty clearing...

27 treasure
[vaguely in-character diary of my playthrough | all entries | mods I’m using] We were attacked by a dragon, it seems we travelled too close to its lair. He was guarding an enormous treasure chest – I...

28 more bandits
Well there’s nothing like a long protracted fight through a blockade to help thaw a frosty attitude! I had previously apologised on the road, which was met indifferently but I kept up a steady stream...

29 Ivarstead
The rest of the journey to Ivarstead went without incident. I ended up telling Lester how I came to be in Skyrim, of the disaster that was Auridon and he did look quite horrified when he realised what...

Hope
I’ve been feeling very upset and angry about some of the events of this year and instead of burying my head in the sand and whinging, I’ve decided to try and do something about it. In particular,...

#eso preparation for the February housing update
Anyone who’s a long time reader of this blog will know that I love a decent housing system in a game. It’s not the reason I play MMOs but it’s something that I very much enjoy doing when I’m not...

#eso new life festival!
I’m really enjoying the New Life Festival so far, the quests are very fun and so are the rewards. There does need to be a couple of improvements, in my opinion, to make this run a bit more smoothly…...

#eso housing!
The housing system has just gone live on the test server and at first glance, they have done a fantastic job! It’s almost everything I wanted – free placement, player crafted furniture, achievement...

all the elder scrolls
I don’t know what it is about this series but it’s kept me hooked for nigh on 20 years now… Well probably something about the sneaking, the thieving, the freedom, the world… Anyway, I have been...

#eso stamblades and pirates
Yes I know, this blog has been very quiet lately. It’s mostly an issue of RL stuff taking up headspace. Everything’s OK though. I have still been doing plenty of gaming though (shocker!), it is a...
