I'm so sad for you and the pooch's mommy Poncho. That's an awful thing to deal with.... *HUGS* for both of you.

Dhark Level 30, finally found the vale and spoke to Isran. He is none too happy about having trek all the way back to the other side of Skyrim to investigate a rumor about a vampire artifact in Dimhollow Crypt.

Instead he went on up to Winterhold and got himself some soul gems, a few new spells, visited Azura's statue and picked up a quest for Azura's Star. He wondered to himself, if the Daedra are as powerful as everyone says, then why in Oblivion can't they keep track of their damn artifacts instead of letting mere mortals steal them?

He'll be heading back down to Windhelm in the morning. He needs to stop in at the White Phial and pick up the last item on Wylandriah's list. He definitely would like to get that done and overwith before continuing.

He's not too sure about the newly acquired Crossbow as yet. Seems to need a bit of over correcting to the left and up a bit in order to hit his targets at distance. He's certain he'll get practice on the trip to Dimhollow, so maybe he'll start to like it better by then; it's definitely no Spray N Pray he'd purchased from Cricket in the Commonwealth.

I definitely need to focus! My ADDHD/whatever has me (as usual) getting sidetracked and then spending a lot of time just staring at the sunsets ;) I will say they have been rather grand this round.

Lexi is 36 now, and when I checked hours played I couldn't believe it. 5 days into the competition and I played how much? Yikes :O Good thing we have the 80 hours :)

In addition to being terrible about planning ahead to accomplish multiple objectives, we are always running home to drop off loot. I am a sucker for Ebony weapons and of course I can't leave Dragon bone and scale laying around. I have no use present or future for the Dragon bits, but have to loot and lug it home.

Have a few things to do first, but Dawnguard is going to happen soon. I think B-)

One and only one of my characters ever made dragon bone armor or weapons and that was only so I could see what they looked like.. 360...no add item..

But I wasn't impressed by the looks, liked steel plate (( on males)) better...carved Nordic and Dawnguard.. othereise5, iron... on the 360...now moded armor.

But one of my characters ended up with like 200 dragon scales or bones.. . I forget which. ... it's gold at the store or left now.

I'm not a hoarder IRL but in Skyrim I am. The first step is to acknowledge you have a problem...and I have a problem :) Tonight will be the start of our new "lean adventuring" campaign! :tes:

Our place looks like we are horders, but its really just the tiny space...and lack of storage.

tried to make a start today, but all i'm getting is the infinite loading screen, so i'm going to have to do a full clean install when I get chance...I have a late shift tomorrow, so should be able to get the reinstall and a little testing done then...Sunday and Monday off, so hopefully that'll be my opportunity to get some movement made...if not, I may have to withdraw. Lots of demands for my free time at the moment.

Hopefully everything works out..

I've started, but I think even though it's new ( less than 3 months, but more than the 14 days return policy) , I need another controller. I've googled and tried most of what was suggested.. tearing it apart and fiddling with the internals is.. not something I am going to do.

I even started a new character and tried mouse and keyboard... didn't work out to well.. So Saturday, I am going to check Wal-Mart and Gamestop... in that order, cause cheaper at Wal-mart, generally.

Lexi had a successful trip through Alftand and Blackreach last night. Had some hairy moments when her Frost Atronach would lose to a band of Falmer and then it's time for Lexi to to put up or die. Most of the Falmer had Glass arrows, and those hurt, but I forgot how deadly Dwarven Spheres could be at range. Those bolts from their crossbows are nasty, and took us by surprise :O

Low point came after we emerged from Alftand and were heading back to Winterhold. During a wolf pack attack Lexi accidently Soul Trapped a stray dog and her Frosty killed it before she could react. Sounds silly but that weighed heavily on us the rest of the night. I do love my dogs! :)

Tonight Lexi will get her Expert Destruction spells. She has been relying on apprentice stuff a lot, and the Alftand trip really showed her need for an upgrade. Fireball and Chain Lightning are great, but not for close support with an Atronach!

I always hate it when I accidentally kill a neutral or friendly animal. It feels like the ultimate betrayal somehow...

Me too - and beyond that, that's one reason I can't "keep" the stray dogs. And the little bits of the early FOs I played (before I admitted I was just too uncomfortable with the whole franchise) had my girls dying while trying to keep Dogmeat alive.

Can't do it.

My solution is simply to send Dogmeat to Sanctuary and forget he ever existed... :)

I almost never adopt Meeko in Skyrim either or buy a dog.

Either doggie goes home... or is made essential..

It's easier for me to just load an earlier save and avoid the entire thing. I just.... CANNOT go there.

I do the same thing as neil. Dogmeat has never been a companion of mine further than Concord. I lose my shit when he gets attacked.

Same for me in Skyrim, too. I never buy or take in dogs. The stretch of road that Meeko's shack is on, is one of the least visited parts of Skyrim.

Yeah. I've been on that piece of road exactly once in all my playthroughs - and that was the very first one. After I realized about the dog, I reloaded and went somewhere else.

I go by Meeko's shack now and again... I just don't actually follow him to the shack. So, I approach and see Meeko... as I get closer, he goes back into the woods where the shack is, and I just go on down the road. Most of the time I never see him again.
