With my characters light varies.

Snaat Rayag -- My skooma dealer doesn't know a whole lot of magic. He uses torches.

Lady Saga -- My adventuring wood elf uses Light spells, Night Eye, and Detect Life. The ultimate adventurer's kit.

Joan of Arkay-- Light spells + Detect Life spells & items.

Renee Gade III -- Ring of Light, but its diameter of illumination is small. 🔦 She backs this up with gauntlets of Detect Life and a ring which detects life. She's got a helmet which Nighteyes as well, but it's ugly. She tries not to wear it because it musses up her hair. She's Xena's clone, after all.

Me myself, I like making dungeons DARK! I've got a mod which darkens caves, ruins, forts (etc.) and if I'm playing a human character I'll also push a setting on my TV remote which darkens those areas even more.

Light spells came in handy for Saryn today. She went and investigated Crowhaven for The Champ. Now she is on her way back to the IC to relay her findings. Agronak seems like such a good guy, how will the news that he is a dhampir (half vampire, half mortal) affect him? Will Saryn even be able to break the news to him? Find out next time in “As the Gladiator’s Head Rolls”…

Same Khajiit time? Same Khajiit channel?

----------------------

As for light in caves, Lothran uses Eye of Khajiit when he wants to be and a strong Light spell when he wants to

Oh my gah… ugggghh! I forgot that as soon as you talk to Agronak after getting back from Crowhaven he automatically grabs the journal and finds out the truth. I was thinking you had to pick a “Lord Lovidicus” topic or something, but nope. My last save game before doing Crowhaven was many, many hours ago, so this is the outcome we are stuck with, and I hate it for Saryn’s character. She would have much preferred to avoid telling him the truth and challenged him to honorable combat for the Grand Champion title. Oh well. There’s always the Tournament of Ten Bloods!

This one doesn't remember that one

Boethia’s Shrine

Ah, ok


Lothran probably did that twelve years ago

Lol

I think it’s time for ‘Rocu to start a new character!

Shum gro-Yarug seems to have met a mysterious end. Authorities in Skingrad report that the count’s butler was traveling to town from the castle one morning, as was his custom, and inexplicably ended up falling off the castle bridge to his demise on the cobblestones below. Was it the Dark Brotherhood? Suicide? The Skingrad Guard have no leads at this time.

As gro-Yarug was the only one who could handle the deed to Rosethorn Hall (for reasons), Saryn will be unable to purchase that grand manor. She offered her condolences to the gro-Yarug family, but remains quite miffed about the situation.

Partially because of what was described above, and partially because of the weirdness with the DLC, I have decided to cut Saryn’s playthrough short and start a new one on PC following my favorite witchy lady Brenna. I’ll now spend the prerequisite time setting up the game, which hopefully won’t take too long as I’m not planning on running it mod heavy. Maybe just the UOP. Not sure yet.

Awesome. It's killing me that I haven't got my game up and running yet, arrgh!!!!

Is Brenna someone you've gamed with in the past?

Brenna was originally a character from Skyrim.

Her original backstory, in brief, was that she was a young Breton woman named Jeanette l’Fleur, who became wanted for a theft in Wayrest, High Rock. She found her way to Anvil, Cyrodiil, via ship, where she fell on very hard times and turned to a life of crime to get by. The authorities eventually arrested her and transported her to the Imperial City for imprisonment, but her prison transport was attacked by highwaymen on the way and she managed to escape in the chaos. She then fled to the border with Skyrim, where some things happen, she ends up with amnesia, and is then taken in by a bandit clan. The chieftain, a Reachman, gives her the name Brenna (which means “Raven” in the old tongue of the Reach), because of the color of her hair. Later on, a clan raiding party, which included Brenna, blundered into the Imperials ambushing the Stormcloaks. Her friends were killed in the fighting and Brenna was overpowered and taken captive, leading into the events at Helgen and Alduin’s attack.

She has since had many incarnations in various other games.

Nice, that's awesome. Wow, some backstory, even! Really warms my heart when we take the time to flesh our characters in such a way.

Nice, Khajiit! Welcome back to Brenna then.

Thank you. I actually try to write backstories for all of my characters, if I find them interesting enough. Playing D&D has really reinforced this, as I find part of the fun of playing these characters is thinking about what their life was before they are thrust into these extraordinary circumstances.

That is quite the journey taken by the Raven!

So much fleeing, lol

GOT IT! The game that is. Got it all installed, wooo hoo! Cake for all.

Snaaty the skooma dealer's just outside Chestnut Handy Stables, 131 hours on his latest gamesave. According to my notes from May, Trying to rent a horse at Chestnut Handy but the orc is nowhere to be found. Pretty sure she got pwned. So gonna have to wait 3 days, in the I.C. Maybe it won't be so bad though. Snaaty has plenty to sell.

So looks like he's going in the I.C. for three days, while we wait for an NPC to respawn. Which is fine. He'll have plenty to do.

Is that a mod, ‘cause normally they don’t sell horses there.

Congrats on getting the game up and running!

It's one of my mods. Can buy or rent horses from Chestnut Handy. Renting is much cheaper, but after a month the horse walks away. But this idea is most convenient for my skooma dealer because he's terrible at keeping horses alive.

And thanks! Feels great to be back in Cyrodiil.
