So let’s leave High Hrothgar and head back down to explore a less-chilly world for a bit, maybe even find this horn of Jorgen Windcaller the Graybeards want me to find.First let’s tell Klimmek we brought his supplies up to the monastery, & spent the night at the inn. #skyrim

I declined to steal a horse from the Stormcloaks encamped near the road to Helgen. I did choose to fight a wispmother with my greatblade and some fire magic. #skyrim

A view of Bleak Falls Barrow across the valley, through falling snow.I had a run-in with some bandits. I killed them, read their skill book, took their stuff, and warmed up at their fire. #skyrim

Snow in Riverwood as I chat with Embry; snow turning to fog as I follow the river down toward Whiterun.(The weather mod + ENB/Reshade combo is Haze: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/33316 ) #skyrim

Danica Pure-Spring wants me to stab the Eldergleam with this evil spriggan-killing blade and steal its sap. This Breton Maurice Jondrelle wants to come with me. He & I both follow Kynareth, so this seems fine to me. We go to my cottage to rest & eat first. #skyrim

We get up before dawn to get to Eldergleam in good time, but are punished for this decision. It’s raining, dark, and so cold I need to carry a torch. #skyrim

We arrive mid-mid morning and um… oops. Time to fight a Primal Dragon. I am eventually successful, but it was a long and brutal fight. Apparently this nearby dragon grave has been disturbed. Hmm! #skyrim

I go in and am talked out of stabbing Eldergleam by Maurice. I entirely failed to record this important decision!Maurice stayed in the grove. I left to wander around the hot springs & check out Mixwater Mill. #skyrim

I spent the night in the Braidwood Inn in Kynesgrove. They have a mine and an unsuccessful lumber mill. Apparently the village has trouble recruiting workers because of the nearby dragon grave, which causes some superstitious fretting. #skyrim

Time to head to Windhelm! Windhelm has a lot of racist Nords in it, as well as a lot of Dunmer & Argonians for them to be racist at.#skyrim

Malcolm had been thinking he really hates the Thalmor a lot, but now that he’s talking to the Dunmer of Windhelm, he’s starting to hate the Stormcloaks too. Plus they keep snorting at him for being an Imperial. #skyrim

Malcolm went to the Windhelm docks to talk to some Argonians. He found the East Empire company dude quite depressed about a pirate problem. So he set out on foot to try to find these pirates, who were a ways to the west in Dawnstar. #skyrim

The woman in Darkwater Crossing wanted him to kill some bandits on a shipwreck, and Malcolm was happy to oblige. It was not an easy fight. (Switching to Blade and Blunt mid-playthrough was not a successful experiment. Next one! https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34549)#skyrim

Malcolm went back to Windhelm to run some errands. He met Kai Wet-Pommel on the way. He super-Stormcloak-y. Speaking of Stormcloaks, Malcolm went to meet Ulfrik himself. #skyrim

Then he headed off toward Dawnstar and whatever he might find along the way.That turned out to be a dragon at Anga’s Mill.At least he now understands what happens when he kills a dragon!#skyrim

Turns out Dawnstar is having a hard time because nobody can sleep. Bad dreams or something. This Dunmer named Erandur says he was sent by Mara to help. I have nothing better to do, so I decide to help him. We walk through the snow up into the hills.#skyrim

Turns out there’s a ruined temple to Vaermina in the hills above Dawnstar. Wonder why it never occurred to anybody to check it out when they all started having bad dreams.Erandur is suspiciously well-informed about it. #skyrim

Erandur makes me do all the legwork to find a book and then a potion for him— these things were just lying around on the ground. He could have found them himself, Is all I’m saying. Then he sends me back in TIME to release miasma.#skyrim

We meet some of Erandur’s former bestest buds, waking up from suspended animation now that I’ve stopped the miasma. I kill them.And then, well, I decide not to go for the full set of daedric artifacts, and I don’t kill Erandur. I follow Kynareth, after all.#skyrim

@ceejbot I've never played Skyrim, likely never will, and enjoy the hell out of your posts.Maybe it's the same bizarre couch-potatoism that makes my kids watch Minecraft videos instead of exploring it themselves.
