Day 2

I awoke to a Khajiit standing over me. Startled, I started my flames, but he threw his hands up and asked for peace. Apparently I had made camp on the location of this travelling merchants regular shop location. I packed up, found a carriage, and rode the rest of the way to Winterhold.

The town I arrived in was nothing compared to what I expected. I had heard of the collapse, after the explosion of the Red Mountain of Morrowind, but the effect it had on Winterhold was truly terrifying. This once magnificent city all but reduced to rubble. One day I wish to rebuild this place to it's former glory, but for now, thankfully, the college is unharmed.

As I made my way up to the bridge, I was stopped and forced to show my skill if I wished to continue to the college. What has the college come to if the so adamantly refuse to allow the unskilled entrance. What of those those that, undeterred by the college seek education elsewhere? Somewhere more dangerous? Maybe I can change this one day as well. For now though, I must prepare for my first lessons.

Day 1 of my Journey.

I awoke in my camp east of Windhelm. I've almost made it to my destination, the College of Winterhold. By tomorrow, I should begin my journey to becoming strong enough to avenge my father.

Something odd happened though, shortly after I left my camp, I came across a small mill run by a woman named Anga, where I was attacked by a Dragon. A DRAGON. Dragon's haven't been seen in over a thousand years, where did this one come from. All I had to defend myself was my father's sword and my fire. I prayed to Akatosh for help, and something even stranger happened, the dragon died. It just died. The gods truly answered my prayers. The strangeness then continued as the dragon's very essence flew into the air and into my body. As this happened, I heard what sounded like the voice of lightning, speaking in a strange tongue. Terrified, I ran, and didn't stop until I reached Windhelm. There, I heard gossip of these legendary greybeards who called upon the Dovahkiin. Could that have been the noise I heard? And why did it happen after I absorbed the dragon's essence. Maybe the will know more at the college, but for now, I shall make a camp outside of Windhelm. Tomorrow my destiny begins.

So I'm finally back

and after a long hiatus from this blog, I have the GOTY edition of Skyrim on my PC, and have already downloaded about 20 mods. Hopefully with time I'll have a lot more stories to tell. Plus, with these new mods, Jacob Flamecrow may have new life breathed into his story.

Skywind - Official Development Video #1

A team of modders, programmers, voice actors, and artists are developing a remake of Morrowind, the beloved third entry in The Elder Scrolls series, using Skyrim’s game engine. They’ve built the entire world of Morrowind again from the ground up, without porting a single thing. They still have a lot left to do, but I can’t wait to see the final product. It already looks incredible.

Morrowind, however dated it may be, has a much more interesting and unique world compared to Skyrim. The landscapes and towns were more beautiful, the questlines were longer and the roleplaying aspect of it was more central to the experience. Using the Skyrim technology to bring the world of Morrowind into the year 2014 will be the best of both worlds.

This is why I love PC gaming. For all the chest-beating mouth-breathers touting “PC master race!” and scoffing at anything below 1080p 60 fps, an enthusiastic modding community can completely transform games and breathe new life into old ones. And it’s all entirely free.

Sorry I seem to have abandoned this blog, I didn't really mean to.

I've been super busy with work and school and getting engaged, that I haven't had much time for games. The little time I have had has been devoted to Borderlands 2 and Assassins Creed 3, but once the newness of those games wear off, I'll be right back here with more Skyrim adventures.

The problem with that is that Camilla is already married to me. Stay away from my wife...

How fucked up would it be to marry Camilla and then ask Faendal to be my steward?

So Hearthfire comes out today

and quite honestly, I'm super freaking excited. I just love the thought of finally leaving a real piece of me on the land, and as someone who spent three nights this week playing Minecraft till 5:00 am, I don't think I ever even had a chance to dislike it.
