Josée does Skyrim: Of Werewolves and Marriage (and Leaflets. Lots of Leaflets.)

[Part 1 of ???]

Okay, so those of you who have read this blog before (or who have taken a peek now because of that) will know that this is a bit of a jump from what I usually put up here. However, it is me, it is gaming, and it is going to be different to anyone else’s Skyrim stuff because that’s the joy of Skyrim being as big as it is: while the quests are the same for everyone, the order in which you meet them (if at all) is always going to be different. I should warn you now that spoilers will abound so please ignore this post if you intend to play Skyrim, or have begun to already. If you read on, it is completely and unequivocally at your own risk!

This particular post boasts spoilers for (not necessarily a conclusive list, as it is hard to know what is a spoiler and what isn’t in some cases…):
The Companions Questline

The Dark Brotherhood Questline (minor)

Mara’s Quests

Now that’s done, I present to you:

Josée does Skyrim: Of Werewolves and Marriage (and Leaflets. Lots of Leaflets.)

I first began to play Skyrim on my housemate’s Xbox while winding down as the University year drew to a close. I then struggled (for reasons unbeknownst to me) with the Steam version as it seemed far more difficult even when I dropped the difficulty to the lowest, and then two on my (not-so-shiny-but-still-playing-games) secondhand 360 I bought from my brother. One of those was on a non-live account, so was deleted just so I didn't keep accidentally logging into it and wondering why I was playing a level 10 Argonian rather than a level 2 Imperial, and now I have a shiny Xbox Live account with an (no longer level 2) Imperial player character.

A New Type of Gaming for Josée...

Hello everyone!

I, as you've seen, usually cover my tabletop, live-gaming and LARP gaming here. Well...today I have decided (due to spamming all my Facebook friends for the majority of this evening) to start chronicling my Skyrim journeys too. Mainly because I found myself simultaneously laughing out loud and facepalming at the strangeness of some of what was happening in my questing this evening, and the fact I was still enjoying myself.

I don't know how long these posts will be or how often they will go up. I'll write, and write and write and then decide "This is too long, I'm going to split it!" or "This is okay, this can go up!" and see how it goes.

All I will say is, there will, of course be spoilers, so skip the posts if you wish (I will try to signpost potential spoilers the best I can, and give each section a clear heading, but you read at your own peril, I am afraid!) and I cannot guarantee the words I use will be grammatically correct (I enjoy making words up to suit my needs) or that there will be no adult humour or language. Sorry.

Enjoy, and please do feed back to me what you think. I write and then post (no proofreaders here, I'm afraid (I'm proud and hope my grasp of the English language is decent enough to not require one.)) and so never have a clue as to what people might think when they read the things I post. I enjoy getting feedback, and would love to know what brought you to my blog and what you think of what I write.
