Who should I send to Valenwood? Options

[Renee]

I am finally going to try the Valenwood Improved mod after all these years. Lady Saga is from Valenwood, which means she's already familiar with the province of the Bosmer. But I am not. So the idea is I want to send some other character down to Valenwood first. This other character will explore the place for awhile. This way, when Saga heads down there, it'll be like I already know where she lives. Her family will already have been created, and so on.

Question is, who should go?

Balztu Dahwalz -- this will be either an orc or a wood elf. I'm not entirely decided yet. But I'm leaning toward orc because I've never had an orc. Balztu will be pretty much an Adventurer, just like the orc adventurers we see occasionally in TES 4. He's wanting to get rich!

Snaat Rayag (pic) was my first active PC character, who started way back in 2014. He is a skooma dealer. I haven't gamed with him for several years. He'll go down to Valenwood mostly in search of new, illicit substances, which he'll then import back into Cyrodiil.

Come one, come all! Cast your vote today!

Yikes! That sounds scary! Hey, thanks for any notes or links to mod additions you can provide. I'll be needing some help.

It was raining last night and in the middle of the night I got up with my new housemate and made some waffles. She's never had homemade waffles before! I was thinking I'd roll my orc after our meal, but I merely went back to bed.

Thing is, to make a character on Xbox is so easy. You just make the character. If you have a sewer exit save, you can use that instead of doing the tutorial over again. Since Balztu'll be a PC character I'm going to need to consider his actions which mods will go in his game, and for sure he'll have TU Starting Options. But some mods are specific to Snaat Rayag's game, which I have all set up, meaning I'll have to go through and decide which ones to keep and remove.

So.... as cool as PC gaming can be, it's more complicated as well. And it'll take over an hour just to get to the character creation part! Once it's all set up though, it should be really fun.

I might start him as a prisoner of bandits or something. TU allows these sort of ideas. He'll fight his way to freedom, and decide he's had enough of Cyrodiil. Maybe Valenwood will yield easier adventures, since he's a BIG strong orc in a land of scrawny (err, sorry, Acadian) wood elves.

That's what I got so far.
