The mod I use doesn't make every kill a decap....but it ups the probability from something like 40% to 60% (of those deaths that would be kill cammed). We still get plenty of conventional stab kills through face, back, clavical and gut...plus throat slitting in sneak. I enjoy a good decapitating...the extra blood and the satisfying finality of it. Adella enjoys a good solid kill....but tbh....I am not sure how she feels about decaps. Also we have been doing a bit more archery of late.....Adella is a Ranger afterall and a return to bow and dagger over the last few weeks has been a nice touch of nostalgia from Ulda days. When we do the Companions....Adella wants a return to the heavy Diano armour and she is making noises about trying two handed again....I am not keen on slow weapons personally......but increasingly I find myself saying 'she's the boss' so we will see....I am trying to put her off the idea! |

Here's the thing about that "slow weapon" done right.. with the right timing... ie learning it.. you can beat the tar out of anyone using sword and Board. |

Oh, thanks a bunch Trace! You knew Adella would spark on that as soon as I saw it eh! She is poking me with a 'told you so' invisible grin. When she is really wanting something her words inside reduce and it becomes an emotive level...feelings you can't describe in words....but the same 'feel' as when you see that 'must have' shopping purchase. So yeah, cheers Trace......I got my hands full now! ;) Edited by Rick, Sep 16 2017, 05:50 AM.

<snicker> your welcome... Create a good 2h weapon, get some training.. ie go find some low level bandit's. It's not a far stretch to get the timing right.. well It generally takes me a few hours to switch from 1h to 2h and do it well.. |

Ok, ok. I have let her resurrect Vorrindor. Her top legendary smithed Dragonbone battleaxe....damage unenhanced comes in at 81 with a Two Hander skill of 9 and zero perks. Thats the starting point. Adella can 'play' with a few ner' do well scum bags for her amusement , but that's as far as I am willing to bend. Edited by Rick, Sep 17 2017, 05:26 AM.

Well, Adella has enrolled with the Bards College in Solitude 😃 To prove her loyalty and committment to the Bardic way....or perhaps just to pay for entry, she was sent to recover a lost poem buried deep in a draugr infested tomb (aren't they always). You can see how she got on here in..... More to follow soon :) Er' now, in fact :) Having returned the Bardic verse to Viarmo they had to fudge it a bit then get the ceremony re-instated. Afterwhich Adella was officially made a Bard of The Bards College :clap: Being an adventerous sort she was soon called upon to retrieve all sorts of mislaid items for the incumbent staff.....to follow :) Edited by Rick, Sep 17 2017, 10:34 PM.

Following her successful recovery of the Bardic verse and re-instatement of the ceremony, Adella was pronounced "Bard" by Headmaster Viarmo. However, to cement her place amongst the erudite faculties and senior staff, she was encouraged to perform a few adventuring quests to retrieve various items which the College staff had not the skills to do for themselves. "Finn's Lute" "Pantea's Flute" "Rjorn's Drum and conclusion" With the completion of the final task there was no further need for the Contessa to prove her dedication to the College and so therefore time to move on. I guess she may return from time to time as an old friend of the faculty, catch up and enjoy the hospitality, but for now another destiny awaites.... |

The Contessa is just about to knock on The Companion's front door, so I thought it aposite to let her change into something more fitting for a warrior and tryout her new Two Handed weapon, 'Vorrindor'. Since she has also attained level 60 a stats update would seem in order :) (Dragonboobs rides again! :bunny: ) Edited by Rick, Sep 21 2017, 05:36 AM.

Cheers Trace....probably the highest overall I have ever seen from Ulda to Adella. Plus...did you see the time....500 hours! Thats a first for us, DiD normally kills the run before this. (I know you have done between 500 and 600 before). I am loving Adella very much both as a build on screen and as a personality....she is coming to the fore exceeding my expectations......she also knows that, and it makes her practically radiant. What a woman! <sigh> Ha ha ha....just thought of the ludicrous irony of that :lmao: Edited by Rick, Sep 21 2017, 08:23 PM.

You started this run on August 7. That's 500 hours in 46 days, I think. Something like 11 hours a day, on average. I'm thinking that's some kind of record. :zap: |

Yeah it's quite the daily grind ;) But I am in the situation of being a full time carer.....meaning full time house arrest ! So during the day between the care necessities I do two things.....Skyrim and Haven. Adella needs lots of love too (whining puppy noises) and she spends quite a bit of time over on Beths site answering her fan base and adding to her trial challenge thread (17k views!). Thankfully there are 24 hours in a day and I only need five for sleep ;) |

Yeah, I know about your situation with your mother. I went through similar with my mother about 30 years ago. And I spent a lot of time on the computer then, too, just as you do. :) |

Glargg :thumb: Of course neil was in this boat too, for a long time It's just the way it is. We do what we have to do. Right, moving on...cheerier matters now...a new video :) Yes...The Contessa has now started the Companions questline. You can see she got her own way with the damn 2 Hander weapon which has nothing to do with the stiletto holes stomped all over my cortex. :bonk: I just hope she knows what she is doing <rolls eyes> |

Adella worked hard to get through Dustman's Cairn, and I worked hard to get it all edited, but I think the end result was worth it. :) Here she is, scything her way through the draugr hoard in... And The Contessa is formally now....a Companion :) |

With my internet restored, i was able to upload the last two videos i had and i can announce the demise of Harkon, thus my business with the Dawnguard is mostly over. But let's start at the beginning. Spoiler: click to toggle I see Adella pulled the "clunky two-hander" lever and you chose the Dragonbone Battleaxe. I must say, that's a really good choice. It's more powerful and swing faster than my Dawnguard Warhammer, but i had my reasons to use the later. When i started training my two-handed skill, the damage was about 250 with a two-handed skill of 9. Now my skill is ~ 70 and i have 4/5 Barbarian perk, bringing the damage to 570. At first, the warhammer felt so slow and weak, leaving me open to enemy attack, but now, with the Great Critical Charge perk, even those archers and mages don't stand a chance. It's my favorite move so far, pretty much like the Werewolf's Sprint Power Attack. I'm close to the mastery of the two-handed fighting style and i have to plan for the next big change, dual wielding, but at the same time i will change my armor from heavy armor to light armor. It's getting late now, see ya. |

Brill AD! Funny...Adella's starting 2H skill was 9 and Vorrindor's output was 257....almost identical starting stats to yours :) Adella has 3 Barbarian Perks and a damage output of 426....not too shabby. Krev The Skinner took 2/3 of her health, but thankfully he then suddenly folded...ha! Looks like you're having a good run.....I will finish the Companions then do the CW....then I will be braving DG :nails: A whole village of Falmer eh! Holy cack! Hate them.... |

I am now halfway into the Companions quests. In this next video I narrowly escape death in beast form due to the Whiterun guards, then go on to help Aela clear Gallows Rock of Silver Hand. :) |
