I spent hours and hours on Morrowind and Oblivion. I felt like something small was missing... I wanted more snow. More mountains. More trees. That was my dream of an elder scrolls game. When Skyrim came out, I was mind blown. This IS the game I have been waiting for. Masterpiece.

Trailed back to Skyrim. Ah, such a relaxing rpg. Well, it should be, but I had a spot of trouble with getting beaten up everywhere. My head got chopped off in a random cavern (I didn’t know there was an animation for that!), and I had a bad time trailing through a dungeon filled with destruction mages. I decided to fight fire with fire and saw the limits of my mana as I waded through mage after mage. Eventually I had to get my sword out and in one fell swoop I killed the last destro mage... *and* my companion. Gah.
I can’t stand companions dying, so I had to load to my pre-dungeon save to save dumbass Goldur or whoever.
I visited the witches shack to get my wedding ring back (?), and robed a dwarven city of all it’s smeltable materials (the parts I could enter, anyway) and spent a small eternity enchanting and alchemising. Time to take my flame-retardant dwarven armor to a certain destro dungeon.

Finally got some Skyrim time, which of course I spread across two characters.
Gidget the Non-violent trekked across the map to Winterhold to join the Mage College. I figured there must be a good way for her to level up, so let's go to school. Well, I managed to get one free spell, before setting off on a quest. I felt a little unprepared, but figured, hey, it's for novices, how hard can it be? Well, I was completely ripped off. This turned out to be a combat heavy mission, that was completely unplayable by my pacifist. I actually let the other mages kill off a bunch of the enemies, but even then, that was hardly a non-violent means. I broke down and read up on the quest and found out that this would be a task my Nun would not be able to handle without killing. So much for College.
Back to my main Nord Ranger character. In my last exploits, I was nursing a bad hangover and trying to figure out what had happened after a drink induced blackout. I set out for Markath, and ran into a couple distractions along the way. I found a bit of an Easter Egg when I helped a young Mark Hamill look-alike farmboy set off on a life of adventure. Once I got to Markath, I immediately became involved in some sort of conspiracy. To make matters worse, I then got roped into working for two evil Daedra. I was a little ticked off, but my Ranger is a bit of neutral type, so I may come back to those later. One involves cannibalism and the other the ritualistic slaying of a priest. I'm not sure I want any part of these. After getting jerked around so many times in Markath, I decided, to just figure out what the heck happened that night in Riften. Something about goats, giants, a staff and a wedding! Well, after chasing down the phantoms of my own doing I finally found the punchline...I was a bit shocked to learn the real story. Spoiler (mouseover to reveal): Duped by another Daedra  At least it was fun.

Are you the Dragonborn? Let's hope so or that weird magical pryrotechnics scared the crap out the guards for no reason.

It was a game-heavy weekend for me. I reached the end of Costume Quest (including its DLC), Skyrim, and Rock of Ages. I'm steadily trying to work my way through all the games I bought in November/December, and shrink rather than grow my pile of shame. I've since moved on to Bastion, which I hope to finish up in the next day or so. From there, bigger games, far further from completion beckon me.

I finally got a couple of free hours to throw towards Skyrim. My ranger is still only level 12 or 13 (I don't always level up when I get the message). I've headed off to the other side of the [game]world just looking for some adventures. I recruited my favorite Dunmer mercenary, Jenassa and met a talking dog, who led me on an interesting adventure. I revisited Helgen for the first time and found a friendly little Stray Dog that's been following me ever since. Without going into to many details, I now have two canine companions and a Dark Elf that love to kill everything in my path before I can even identify the threat. All was going well until I heard the familiar barking and noticed that the dogs had run off after another "kill". Unfortunately, the prey was now fighting back, and much to my chagrin, it was a Giant that was coming my way. The dogs had definitely bitten off more than they could chew. Apparently, "I'm sorry" is not phrase recognized by Giants.

After several weekends of no games, I finally got some time in on my best Christmas present, Skyrim.
So far, I'm really enjoying the latest TES game. They've watered down some of the character customization, but it's still quite fun. I'm playing my standard Ranger character that I've been playing since my first SSI Gold Box. In older TES games (The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls: Chapter II Daggerfall) I usually picked Nord as my race for my ranger, so it's nice to get a game world devoted to Skyrim. The archery component is good fun, although the decision to make the Eagle Eye perk require a 30 skill level is a bit puzzling. I still haven't committed to one-hand or two-hand weapons (meaning I have tons of unused perks still). Two-hand seems so slow, where as the one-hand combat seems like it's geared towards dual-wield, which I always thought was a bit goofy. Sword & board seems a bit cumbersome for my stealthier character, so who knows, maybe I'll embrace the restorative arts for my left hand.
I'm enjoying the game so far, as obviously I haven't gone too far into it. I've done a couple of side quests, and joined a certain group of companions, but haven't done anything too earth shattering yet. Avoiding the MQ like the plague, as usual, although I'm thinking of caving in and talking to the Jarl in Whiterun. I'm still running around in stock fur armor, which is consistent with my survivalist type character. I'm loving the feel of the game world, enough that I put my New Vegas and Fallout 3 games on hold.

My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. In the Emperor's name, let none survive.
When I now saw this Coppelius, the frightful and terrific thought took possession of my soul, that indeed no one but he could be the Sandman.

GM: You will be executed. One of the guards leads you to the block. Fortunately a dragon appears out of nowhere, and the guards run away scared.
Player: I run as well.
GM: One of the guards orders you to follow him if you want to be saved.
Player: I don't want to follow him, he tried to execute me. Why is he trying to save me in the first place?
GM: There is no other way, you must follow him.
Player: Huh?
Later:
Player: I jump on the steps.
GM: You can't.
Player: Why not?
GM: I haven't told you how to jump yet. Wait till I make the dragon blow a big hole in the tower. Then you can jump out.

I had the entire week off, so I got to play a lot. I apologise in advance for spamming but I had to share this awesome week of gaming

Still going strong on Skyrim! I didn’t play all that much, but whenever I boot it up something cool happens. This week (Spoilers, ho!):
- I fought a lady bandit on top of a tree trunk bridge. When he died, she fell and somehow snagged her foot on a tree branch, resulting in this weird image:
- I visited a mountaintop where white will-o-thewisp’s were delicately floating through the air leading glowy white trials floating through the trees. But when I got closer to marvel at them, the wisp mother attacked me and I had to kill her. No more wisps!
- During an epic run of crafting, buying and selling my cat walked over the keyboard and quickloaded. One our of craft grind... gone in one paw stroke. Damm you, kitty!
- I found a fort filled with destruction mages! Unfortunately they didn’t want to practice with me, only on me. All they managed to burn was a lot of my healing potions.
- I did the quest to restore the tree in Whiterun. I had to travel to a nature sanctuary and this really weird guy called Maurice wanted to travel along with me. He wouldn’t let me look at this stuff and didn’t want to talk to me much (though he expressed his admiration when I killed a Dragon along the way), so naturally I assumed he would backstab me in some way as soon as we got there. Fortunately the story turned out much cooler! Plus, the Eldergleam was real pretty.

You carefully pick your way through a dungeon, unlocking, picking and looting everything of value. You confidently dispatch all manner of beasties. You reach the miniboss person at the end of the dungeon. You get your butt kicked or just miss that opportune moment to pop a potion. You die. You realise you haven't saved since entering the dungeon.
RAGE.

This certainly didn't make me want to quit playing but it does definitely qualify as a WTF moment.
Without spoiling too much, there is a quest in Skyrim that requires you to give some of your items for safekeeping to be smuggled into a place that you need to infiltrate. My character had given over almost all her weapons and armor, all her potions, and her food. To further that quest she went to talk to another NPC. At that very moment a frost dragon decided to attack. Here my character is without any bows, staves, or healing items. All she had was a pair of gauntlets and a decent one handed axe. I didn't think I was going to win, but decided to attack anyway.
After a lot of shouting, spell slinging, dragon dodging, and praying my character ended up victorious. A major WTF moment turned into a "Hell yeah!" moment.

Platform: PC
First time beaten
While there's a lot of Skyrim's content I haven't fully explored, I found that around the 60-hour mark or so I was starting to get a certain amount of burnout, so I returned to the main quest line and finished that. While I expect I will do some of the stuff I missed this time around on a later playthrough, that's a contemplation for the future. For now I will retire my Dragonborn and move on to the next challenge.
I really need to get around to finishing Xenoblade Chronicles methinks.
