Yes that's very true, I don't think you've ever had anybody make it into the teens, not even Marcos. Not since I've known you, anyways. That deserves some cake. Any excuse for cake, right?

I've not had any actual characters make it to this high a level, I don't think, but I did have a couple of builds that did. One went through the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, all I can remember of him was that he wore light armour and blades. Another was an Altmer Battlemage that massacred his way through the Main Quest in a hurry by exploiting spell stacking, but I think that's it.

Says a lot about the efficacy of this style of play though, if even a renowned slayer-of-characters such as myself can pull it off

Sundas, 5:24 pm, Heartfire 30

Joan of Arkay is back in Battlehorn Castle. She half-cleared Fort Rayles. Managed to *spoiler* with a bow she found to open up the place for further exploration. And then she took care of several scamps. Found some loot to sell (mostly potions and one common soul gem) and is headed to Chorrol with one of the men-at-arms who have mysteriously showed up at her castle to sell this stuff.

I have discovered something really cool about Joanie. She is apparently going to be one of my Morrowind characters, whenever I get to that game! I got the sense as I was gaming with her tonight that she was over there before coming to Cyrodiil. And this means she won't be dead-is-dead. Because if she lives this far....and plus, she's got the hidden blessings of Arkay on her side at all times. She's that devout.

Neat! But when you call her Joanie, I cannot help but to wonder if she loves Chachi?

So Joanie will be cross-gaming? Nice


But where are the pixies, Renee??

SubRosa: Joanie's game will be on PC, so it's very possible I could make a Chachi. Maybe he'll be Khajiit. That does sound like a Khajiit name.

mirocu: I probably have a spare Joan pic, I'll go have a look. I'll put it in the screenie thread, if so.

Severan's had a mixed time of late.

On the one hand, he got his final two recommendations from the Mages Guild. On the other, he got mauled by a mountain lion and only survived by turning invisible and running away. I think the seven points of armour from his base ring of shock shield might actually have saved his life.

He's currently planning to spend another day in Skingrad, gathering alchemical components on the road to Kvatch before heading back to the Imperial City.

Yeah, never underestimate low-powered protection. But don´t overestimate it either


What level is he, Callidus?

I don't know what's a Chachi but the other day I was thinking about a good name for an Argonian and I thought of Chach as fitting.

Joanie loves Chachi was a show that was on probably before you were born. I could totally see Chachi as a beastfolk, heh.


Middas, Sun's Dusk 7, 4th Era 20: Renee Gade III is back in her home, relaxing after some hardcore adventuring. Pics soon!

Level 13. But unfortunately his two highest skills are illusion and mysticism, so he's not as powerful as he should be.

Today, Severan went back towards Kvatch, gathering alchemical supplies. Until he stumbled across Fort Istirus. That turned out to be a pretty extensive dungeon crawl, necros everywhere. Severan ran through half of his poisons dealing with them. He got some decent loot; a couple of enchanted items with resist normal weapons, a few staves, and a mass of potions and scrolls.

Now he's just got to keep casting his feather spells until he can reach the Imperial City and sell them all.

I don´t know if Lothran has ever found an item enchanted with resist normal weapons!

The Knights of the Nine armor has it; and so does the Bladeturn Hood and Morag Tong outfit from Mehrunes Razor. Other than that, I've gotten the "Ring of Steelskin" with it before, but that is random loot and not a sure thing.

Ah, the Ring of Steelskin! I had forgotten about that one!

Have not seen the other items though on account I don´t do drugs DLC

Wiki says.

I don't remember seeing any of them very often, but apparently they exist. I think I may have found the Quartz Cuirass once, and maybe some of the other armor.

Oh, you are missing so much with those two DLC, they are spectacular!

Probably, but Lothran and I are so far past the days of questing now that we simply cannot go back


I´m just happy to have an unopened (sealed) KotN retail disc

I know we've been through this before about a dozen times, but mALX is right. KotN is one of the better ones. Part of it seems almost Morrowind-ish, in the sense that not everything is shown conveniently on a map, with map markers.

But whatever. Your shrinkwrapped copy will gain value as it sits on your shelf. Just waiting for its day to dazzle with its content.

Deep within Silver Tooth Cave, Lothran is hunting for goblins...

Good to know, crow. Last night I made yet another quest for RG3's game, I think this is the fourth or fifth one I've written. In this one, a new merchant shows up in the Market district and all the other merchants get jealous of course, because this new guy is a "pawnbroker" who buys & sells, yet does not bother to rent a shop, or even a stall. He's just using the same space they are, but rakes in mad profits because he's not renting, you see.

So the other merchants tell Miss Gade to speak to Jensine, who (of course) wants RG3 to oust this pawnbroker. Well, she finds the guy, tells him the concerns of the others, and he then replies that he is indeed legal--he's even got a document signed by Vinicia Melissaia (spelling). RG3 looks at this document, and notices it's got a bunch of misspelled words and whatnot.

So she goes to Vinicia, who (of course) denies she's ever written such a document. RG3 returns to the pawnbroker, who then confesses. He's not legal. And I made it so that after Gade confronts the guy, he then leaves the Market and goes to the Waterfront instead. I had to learn how to do this by looking at what causes Guilbert Jemane to leave Cheydinhal, which took awhile to figure out! It's an AI package, basically.

RG3 returns to Jensine. Well done! she says, and gives her some gold, but then Jensine wants RG3 to do something else, somehing much more dangerous. I forget what it is though. My memory's pretty bad, folks. But that's a good thing, because even during that very first part (when the merchants tell her to go meet Jensine) I was genuinely surprised that they say this!
