ROFL !!! I nearly sprayed coffee everywhere when I saw that !!!

I smiled at that part. She took it better than I thought she would.

HUH? Wait, what are you talking about? Someone PM me with it before I burst from curiousity !!!!!

Trey: The New Edition has been avoiding doing anything that might cause giant flying lizards to show up.

That means a fair amount of wandering around looking for other kinds of trouble- I mean "work."

He still got caught up in a drinking contest with a fellow named "Sam." Less said about that, the better.

Apparently due to his name being familiar to her, Azura dragooned him into- no wait- ASKED for his assistance. He obliged and got a rather large, ugly, and seemingly useless piece of jewelry for his trouble.

On the way to Windhelm, Trey and his new friend, Vorstag ran into a woman who had a rather disjointed story about some bandits who have apparently made kidnapping for ransom their specialty.

Investigating caused something of a dilemma, and Trey is still not sure he chose the right path. Vorstag was less than helpful, remarking only that, "Bandits are usually cowards, but these were different."

Back in Whiterun, the two picked up a bounty on a giant. Seemed straightforward enough, except that the giant's herd of mammoth decided to rush to their keeper's assistance. How Vorstag avoided being stomped into jelly is a mystery. Trey avoided such a flat-- I mean "FATE" by rushing directly to a stockade full of bandits. Oops.

Oh well- mammoth steak all around. And a final mystery- how exactly a supposedly HERBIVOROUS mammoth happened to swallow a suit of steel armor... All Trey knows is- if those things ARE going carnivore- he may decide to take his chances with the dragons.

Oh noes, Skyrim doesn't have cliffracers does it!

It’s great to hear from Trey, The New Edition! I imagine the giant/mammoth/bandit event was quite a scramble. I love Vorstag’s comments. He’s so earnest and completely unhelpful.



Here's an update from Jensa, Nord barbarian:

So I’ve cleared out a few bandit camps for the Companions. We get paid for the contracts, and all the salvage we find gets spilt between those who did the work. Today I was with Farkas. We got the job done, ate some lunch, and then dug through the cave for goods. I found an amulet with little gems set in it, so I slipped it over my head and went to show Farkas everything I found.

There he was by the cave entrance, dropping mammoth tusks on the loot pile. I swear he does things like that just to annoy me. How am I supposed to find the shiny stuff with my feet tangled up in tusks? Anyway, I laid out the weapons and armor real neat in a row, to show him how it’s done.

Farkas gives me this odd look, and his tone of voice is even stranger. “Are you wearing an Amulet of Mara?”

I say I don’t know much about jewelry. I would feel a little funny telling this huge, filthy warrior that I thought the stones might make my eyes look pretty. Especially since I was sure I still had blood on my face.

“Do you know what it means?” he says.

It means this time you have an excuse for looking at my chest, I almost say, but I don’t want to tease him until I know what’s going on. “Brother, I have no idea.”

He tells me it means I’m interested in marriage. Well, that’s not the way we handle matters in the high passes. I whip the necklace off and put it right on the pile. If we end up keeping each other warm some night, I don’t want him to get the wrong idea.

How dare Jensa refuse the adorkableness of Farkas!
I myself won't mind him keeping me warm at night

Yes- dear old Vorstag. I like his response to "here please carry this heavy loot" a LOT better than Lydia's eyerolling sarcasm.

Of course, he was also with Trey on the return to Bleak Falls Barrow (to retrieve the Dragonstone)- at which point he provided the wonderful insight:

"I don't like the looks of this."

A barrow full of draugr, spiders, bandits, traps, and ancient dragon magic- YA THINK?

GAAAAAH !!! So you didn't have to become a werewolf and finish out the whole questline for him to show interest ????? The books and internet were wrong ??????????? "Farkas here I come !!!" Maxical yelled, her voice echoing from Riften to Whiterun and scaring the mammoths and giants.

Maxical, noooo! You do have to do all of those things, but Jensa's game has advanced considerably and I didn't post about it. If those journal pages get dropped in, they'll have to be de-spoilered and out of sequence.


Fawkes, you and Jensa agree. Farkas is so sweet. But marriage? That's crazy talk!


Has Trey taken Vorstag through a Dwemer ruin? He's quite the meathead philosopher.

Maxical is hoping Farkas has some unique marriage dialogue since he had his own voice actor instead of the generics. Does anyone know?

He has the same generic dialog, I know i test married all the guys in the game

What does Balimund say when you ask him to make you dinner?

Sigh, Balimund.

GAAAAH !!! How cool !!! I'm dying to know what kind of things they say after marriage !!! (especially the followers).





I think he's probably the nicest male in the game, or tied with Farkas for that title.

They only have two lines of new dialog depending on their voice. Plus what they say when you ask them for food.
AKA, Balimund and Farkas have the same voice,so they both have the same three lines of dialog
Vilkas, Filnjar, Calder have the same voice so same thing.

Don't remember what Balimind says, when I get home I'll check, since Godfrey married Balimund

WOO HOO !!! Oh, when they are your spouse and also your follower, do they call you those sweet names out in dungeons?

I had a scary incident with Allek the thief and Balimund. Allek chose to do a job and then felt bad about it. So he broke back into Balimund’s house and stood there watching him sleep. With a dagger in each hand. (Allek had the daggers, and for once that’s not a euphemism. ) Killing him is going to make you stop feeling guilty about what you did?! NO!!! Thankfully, he didn’t.

I believe that they just say what they would normally say when they are your followers i'll have to check again when i'm home , HOWEVER they are portable merchants, so you can buy off them , from the companions that I seen each one has a unique set of dialog during dungeons.

any more questions?

"I feel so bad that I broke into your house and robbed you, really guilty. I hate feeling guilty. Hey wait - if I kill you, I won't have to feel guilty every time I see you...because I won't see you anymore! So I'll just break into your house again, but this time I'll murder you! Whew! I feel so much better!"

Oh, that is really cool !! I haven't had a follower yet, other than going into that one Cairn with Farkas.
