#1... depends, I try to make racemenu presets of my characters. So I tend to start them from that preset IN the Mara room of AS-LaL #2.. what everyone doesn't check every urn every time? :ohno: |

Once you complete the Mysterious Gem quest for Barenziah's Crown and get the buff many of those urns do indeed then have Posted Image in them. :) |

Uh..... but I never do the TG questline. And even if I did, it wouldn't be before doing BFB.... |

I've only done the full TG questline once, and got every single darn thing, including all those stones!! It was so aggravating, and by the time I was done, my character had more money than she knew what to do with and didn't need any more gems. Then, got the bug where Brynjolf doesn't talk anymore, and I was so mad that I've never done the TG again. Grrrr..... |

#1... My characters are always different, even when they're competition restarts, so no. I don't really have much of a starting pattern, although my Helgen-start characters generally do Embershard before going to Whiterun, just to have some cash. #2... Yep. Every urn, every time. You never know. :) |

For me it wouldn't matter how different the characters are because: A) competition goals are going to be about the same no matter how different the character, so the object is to get back to the same number of accomplishments or better. I.E. dead character cleared 25 dungeons, character replacement needs to have 25 dungeons cleared. B) It's not about skill level but game level, so if the dead character was level 13 orc fighter, the replacement would need to hurry back to level 13 even if they are an Altmer illusionist. |

You guys rifle through burial urns? The ashes of our honoured dead....for mere trinkets? Despicable :( We never disturbe the sanctity of our forefathers cremated remains. You'll be confessing next that you push you fingers into the disgusting leathery husks of defeated bonewalkers for a few paltry Septims...ugh! Pl...eease, some dignity for the dead <shakes head> Edited by Rick, May 9 2017, 07:13 AM.

Heh heh, the only respect or dignity afforded to the dead in this game is to those dead who are still walking... if they are powerful enough. In the end it's all about power, don't you know? ...and the dead in urns have none. Have you ever heard the legend around Sir Walter Scott's mother? An interesting tale, and shows that disturbing the dead can save lives and bring about great things. I don't know if the tale is true or not though... Here's a fun little video of the Ghost of Tubasha and an encounter with some Bandit Chiefs. I thought y'all might get a chuckle out of it. The Ghost of Tubasha and the Bandit Chiefs (about 3 and a half minutes) By way of update, The ghost of Tubasha has cleared: Spoiler: click to toggle As well as the unflagged: Spoiler: click to toggle She's now level 7, has finished off Mirmulnir and is headed for High Hrothgar. Total gold: 8147 ( I think she's a kleptomaniac, she keeps stealing nearly worthless items when I'm not looking... I mean, what's she going to do with a wooden bowl and a cast iron pot? Then she gets caught and has to pay off a 1 gold bounty. Sheesh! Edited by neildarkstar, May 9 2017, 07:38 AM.

Andrenar has been getting his hands dirty again today, wiped out Valtheim Towers for a bounty, retrieved the Amulet of Arkay for Andurs, mopped up the bandits at halted stream camp, cleared out the bandits under the Whiterun overhang and helped the guards at the Whitewatch Tower. He's filled his pockets with all the iron ore from halted stream camp and is currently emptying embershard of all it's ore in preparation for a trip to Left Hand Mine. Current funds are just short of 8900 Septims and almost at Level 8. He's considering taking on BFB after his trip to Markarth, but i'm not sure yet....our only ranged ability comes from resurrected enemies (found a staff of zombies at Valtheim Towers) or the basic flames/sparks spells. Gets us a little too close for my liking as a squishy mage. Half considering doing the thieves guild once we have a decent ranged spell/staff....would reel in a good amount of cash and clear a few locations. Also need to get round to unleashing the dragons at some point too so we can spit fire and death at enemies (also whirlwind sprint to move faster when overloaded) |

Well, in my case, with characters with different skills, while the competition goals are the same, the approach is different. My first Cora, a Breton with three magic skills, needed to acquire spells as a first priority. So she went to College, visited the Atronach Stone, and raided mage lairs until she had all of the novice spells for her skills. Second Cora, the destruction/sneak/archer, went after bandit lairs, where she could accumulate arrows and pick up better bows. (There's usually a nice enchanted bow on top of the boss tower at Valtheim, for instance.) Third Cora (Conjuration/Archer/Sneak) has no kind of close-fighting skill, so she needs to avoid melee fighters until she can pick up a staff of some sort. |

<sigh> I lost the last save for Mel'Anathia.. which mean's she has to do Embershard over again.. which we just did...I know she had went into Whiterun and talked to the Jarl.. Joined the Companions, but not much in the way of Dungeons... Bites, but for some reason.. I think I over-wrote it. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. |

Heh, I don't really think your case is all that different... I mean my Orc Warrior and my Altmer illusionist are going to have entirely different approaches as well, eh? It's not approaches that are the question. In the end, no matter how you approach the problem, you have a limited amount of time (40 hours) or X number of days in which to clear dungeons. If you don't clear dungeons, it won't matter what else you do because it won't mean a thing. Every character we run uses up days remaining. So, do you feel the pressure of time pushing you to get things done faster to get back to the number of dungeons you have cleared previously regardless of your approach? That is the essence of the question. |

No pressure because there is no spoon! j/k I do find that subsequent character have a greater sense of urgency to "get shit done". |
