I had finished Skyrim for the third time and was trying to figure out what to do next. I thought about loading up a bunch of mods and starting a fourth playthrough, maybe taking the Nords side in the Civil War this time, then I thought maybe I would play through Morrowind and Oblivion again [...]

So I finished Mass Effect 3 last week and I immediately went back to playing Skyrim again. I think it is telling that I am done with Mass Effect after what Raptr tells me is around 35 hours (for now anyway) while I am still engrossed by Skyrim even though I am closing in on [...]

When you first start your experience in Skyrim you are a prisoner on your way to be executed. You are a prisoner of the Empire, who captured you along with a number of the rebel Stormcloaks. One Imperial realizes that you aren’t supposed to be there, but his superior insists that you be sent to [...]

So I’ve been spending a lot of time in Skyrim lately. I’m the Harbinger for the Companions, the Listener for the Dark Brotherhood and a Nightingale and the Master Thief of the Thieves Guild. I’m also apparently the Dragonborn, whatever that means. I guess I should get around to completing the main plot at some [...]

The first thing I encountered upon entering Windhelm was a pair of Nords harassing a Dunmer woman. It turns out that the native Nords of Skyrim don’t just want freedom from the Empire, they don’t like anyone who isn’t a Nord either.

The Silver Hand I’m abandoning my prose walkthrough for the moment because of time constraints. These will be quick rundowns for a while. I’ll come back and do a proper story walkthorugh at some point. So just a quick summary here. After becoming a full member of the Companions you can do additional quests for [...]

After leaving the Jarl’s palace I descended the steps to a large plaza dominated by a dead tree. Nearby, a half-crazed man stood on a bench while shouting praises to Talos. The locals seemed to be ignoring him so I did as well and climbed the stairs towards the Companions longhouse, which I soon learned [...]

I had recovered the stolen dragon claw artifact for the store owner in Riverwood, had cleared out the bandit from the mine south of town and and even gotten into a fight with a couple of necromancers who were experimenting outside of town. But now it appeared that I had exhausted the possibilities of this [...]

Skyrim, the latest game in the Elder Scrolls series, came out last Friday and I’ve spent most of the last few days playing it (to the detriment of my NaNoWriMo output). I feel like I’ve barely put a dent in the game world but already I can tell this game is going to solidly in [...]
