First off I've not played skyrim in ages. My W key is broken and my laptop gets to 80c + while playing it. It's been so long since I last played that I forgot various hotkeys and all the mods I had installed or what I was doing last time I was playing.
So I loaded up the game and found myself outside a cave near white run.
I walked to whiterun (expecting that to have been my destination to sell loot and possibly get a new quest spoiler: It was! ) on the way I came across a guard tower manned by some guards. I saw a man and a woman in leather/fur armour. At first glance I thought they were bandits but heres the twist: they had unique names I was mortified that the guards were killing unique characters. Still I joined in because thats the sorta person I am.
Turns out they were just bandits and I had jasonx renamer installed. A relief but also a minor bewilderment: how was I supposed to know who I'm allowed to kill?
Highlights:
The log: I came across a log across a ravine in the wilderness. As I was crossing I noticed a fella stood on it taunting me. I decided to cross anyway. He attacked me. I shield bashed him off the log into the waterfall. He was never seen again.
The path to winterfell: I had to deliver a letter to a farm deep in stormcloak territory. On the way I got attacked by 2 wolves. This fight latest ages. A real struggle. Used about 10 potions fighting those guys. I have some combat mod which I don't fully understand. Something like if you're moving forward when you get hit you take loads of damage.
The delivery: Once I reached winterfell I had to deliver the letter. Sadly the guy I was delivering to, a dark elf farm worker, lived inside the city. It was full of storm cloaks and I am an imperial so I wasn't welcome. I had to wait till the next day to meet him. I decided to spend the night in an inn. Sadly the inn was guarded by 3 storm cloaks.
The infiltration: I had to get into the inn to sleep but it was guarded. I tried to fight my way in but the fight was too hard. So I decided to sam fisher. I watched the guards from atop the hill, to see if they had patrol routes. I snuck down and did a sneak attack on a guard. The game crashed. Reloaded and fired an arrow near him (not at him on purpose) lured him to a forest and killed him. Then I sneak past the other guards into the inn and got a bed for 10 septims. When I left in the morning there was a ruckus but I could run away.
The tomb: I came across a tomb in the wild. A man asked me to stop a guy from defiling his ancestors. We went in and killed some dragurs. I looted chests and the guy complained saying that stuff belonged to his ancestors. Then there were dragur wights. Then like 4 at once - I struggled here. Then later I met the necromancer and he summoned lots of dragur. like 10 at once, wights, mages etc. I fight these using a spirit dog. After fighting for a long time the necromancer reappeared (he had invisible before). I went to attack him with sword. He 1 hit me with magic and I decided that was enough excitement for the day.
