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 devil
At least it was fun.

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.

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.

Introduction

The Eye of the Gods. For as long as you can remember, your father searched for the Eye. The gateway to a new world and a life of everlasting peace. Some say it’s a myth. Others say it existed once but the fates have destroyed it to prevent contamination of our world with a would-be-paradise. But a few believe. Your father got close - and promised that after he found the portal, he would return and take you and your mother through to a safe place, free from the daily worries and dangers that plague the world you live in now. That was almost 20 years ago - and he never returned from his expedition to the Greymoor Mountains. The Mountains of Madness, or so they are known, have long been a mysterious place which few mortals dared to cross. They are so named because many who attempt to cross them wind up with few wits with which to cope with life. The terrible creatures are only part of the problem - and the slow march into derangement has claimed more than a few poor souls.

In the fateful days leading up to your decision to follow in your father’s footsteps there was much trepidation. You tried to make it in this harsh world but too often life’s pains bore down on you. The time has come for action. You gather what few bits of equipment you own and head to the Tavern of The Falling Leaves.

Your equipment currently consists of: Rusty Longsword (+0), well-worn Tunic, some old Leather Boots and 2 gold pieces.


Prelude - The Tavern
The barkeep, Sama, has been busily serving patrons this fine fall day. The harvest festival is nearly upon the town and the locals are getting in their last cozy visits to their favorite watering hole before tourists flourish here and take the place over for a week. You’ve already been mistaken for a harvest-goer by more than a few locals. You look around and see a few friendly faces among the crowd. Perhaps one of them would make a fine adventuring partner on your journey. Then again, it may be best to go this alone. That choice remains yours. In the meantime, one well-dressed halfling patron, who may have had more than his share of ale, comes up to you and offers to play a simple game for a wager. He describes the game as follows:

~ The Barbarian Dice Game ~

“You see, it’s easy. Even a child can play! This game requires us to cast these strangely shaped gaming pieces which the gods call ‘dice’. I’ve got five such pieces, one with four sides, one with six sides, one with eight, one with ten and one with twelve. For some reason, Barbarians are fondest of the 12-sider but I’ve no idea why. Anyway, we roll all five dice each and we compare results. For every like-sided die that you roll higher on, you get a point. Whomever has the most points is the winner. You, fine friend, break all ties. How can you lose?! What do you say? Shall we wager?”

You may decline to play or you can wager 1 or 2 gold. This game is available to both you and your adventuring partner separately if playing in a 2P game. The choice is now yours. If you decide to wager and play, please use the geek-randomizer to roll five separate rolls: 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10 and 1d12.

You lose 1 SP but just about keep your wits about you, however the great beast lumbers forward, as if to crush you...

This is a Combat Challenge: TITAN AC 18

This is a special combat. For a 1P game, you roll 4 attacks as usual. For a 2P game, each player will roll 2 attacks each to try and topple this mighty foe. For both 1P and 2P games, each player gains a special bonus to these attack rolls equal to the greater of their current HP and SP! You must score two or more successful attacks to defeat the Titan and survive the adventure!

it is about now that a +2 sword would come in handy

YES! Ha Ha!

Do or die!

Attack 1: 1d20+3 = (20) + 3 = 23
Attack 2: 1d20+3 = (7) + 3 = 10
Attack 3: 1d20+3 = (10) + 3 = 13
Attack 4: 1d20+3 = (2) + 3 = 5

The great old one over-powers you in mind, body, and spirit. It eviscerates you with a mere flick of its claw, causing you grievous injury! You start to fall into darkness as the Titan comes in for the final blow. Somewhere between death and insanity, your body fails.

You have died facing the Mountains of Madness. But let no person doubt your heart and conviction. The mortal shell which you call your body has given out. While the spirit remained willing it cannot do so without help from the flesh and blood which drives it. As light fades to black you think back over your adventure and can’t help but smile. Bravery and valor were yours, dear adventurer. And nothing can take that away.

Your adventure has concluded, brave adventurer. We want to thank you for playing The Mountains of Madness. Within a few days you will receive all microbadges and geekgold due - please be patient. In the meantime, we invite you to kick back at the Tavern of the Falling Leaves for some stories both brave and bold. You can enter the tavern by clicking here. The design team and GMs that brought you this adventure feed off of the stories told in the Tavern - so please feel free to contribute to the post-adventure fun! In addition, we would love for you to rate this adventure - you can do so by visiting the official Mountains of Madness RPG entry and at the bottom you can ‘Add Information’ to give it a rating and comment.

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.

Wow, that nature sanctuary thing actually explains a lot! I never met Maurice and that questline felt quite odd. (I had a choice between killing everyone there, or simply not finishing the quest).

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.

I feel for you. That tends to happen to me in over land travel sequences since the game seems only to autosave when you go into buildings. Saving before trying to fight a dragon is probably a good thing, right? laugh

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. laugh

I can't think of any specific examples, but I know I've had stuff like this happen to me in RPGs before, where I think "fuuuuuuuu..." and then just go for it anyway.

If Skyrim is as good as it seems like it is, I bet this all happened on purpose! And it makes me want to get it all the more

Fantastic game. Loved almost every second of it. I could talk about it for hours but I won't.

Looking forward to DLC.

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.
