Here is a full update for Phineas Gage:
Phineas Gage

Denied entrance to the College of Whispers and to the Synod, a young Breton novice Mage decides to head for Skyrim's College of Winterhold. He has a chip on his shoulder and is out to amass as much power as he can. But first he needs to get to Winterhold.

A Nord thief had stolen Phineas' gold and headed off over the border into Skyrim. Using his conjured familiar to track the thief led Phineas' right into an Imperial ambush. He was thrown into the same cart as the dirty thief, Lokir.

After following Ralof out of Helgen, Gage spent time doing odd jobs for easy coin. Mostly courier type work. While doing so he met with many of the court mages, collecting information and buying up small soul gems. During his travels he found some silver swords on the bodies of some werewolf hunters who had attacked him. He also managed get his hands on a fine set of steel plate armor, compliments of the companion of a back stabbing Argonian.

After his tour of Skyrim, Gage tore through Bleak Falls Barrow. He has kept the Dragonstone for himself, hoping he could use it as leverage to get into the College. He worked his way north to Windhelm, where he solved a string of murders, and tracked down the White Phial. Continuing north he has been given a task to aid Azura. He is currently thawing out in the Frozen Hearth in Winterhold. He will shortly approach the College as well as track down the enchanter that Azura has sent him after.

He has just reached level 20 and is now on Adept difficulty.

Interesting how we all have different approaches to this.

Cassalda is high level 9, just about to turn 10. She has done none of the MQ, except for the initial trip to Whiterun, and doing Farengar's little "frost salts" quest. The whole dragon thing will wait. She's concentrating on mage-y stuff for now.

She went straight to Winterhold, did Saarthal, and then did "Hitting the Books" simultaneously with Azura's quest. Killed Krosis on the way back. Did the little quests for Brelyna and J'Zargo, and found Tolfdir's Alembic (that one should be a one-time-only, I think).

She's now in Mzulft.

A question about the Difficulty?

LvL 1 to LvL 9 - Novice

LvL 10 to LvL 19 - Apprentice

LvL 20 to LvL 29 - Adept

LvL 30 to LvL 39 - Expert

LvL 40 to LvL 49 - Master

LvL 50 to LvL ∞ - Legendary


Dose this one have to play all the above & in the order of levels? or can this one start from level 1 on Legendary?

are there any restrictions on skill tress?

since this is a mage round ...........weapon & armor restrictions are in place YES/NO ..............can this one use the spellbreaker?

as for the books ...............is it just reading the books or do we have to collect them too?

SAH; so sorry every one for asking things that have been already talked about but has been sick and not online all this time, things are much better now.

this one will start after she gets the above answered .................BTW whats the leader board look like ?..........will there be a page with this information available, 2 months is a very long time

Sah... the difficulty slider is part of the rules for the round... so no, skipping straight to Legendary is against the rules. ..

Books must be "owned " at end game, skill books can be read..as the game keeps track of that.

No weapons or armor restrictions, but you can't make a skull Legendary. ...so careful with the perks.

"Love is a camera" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

The song depicts a strange love story. The woman is a witch who captures the souls of her lovers by camera and imprisons them on her wall.

Sah's vid is equally thought provoking.....

Gonna have to get that song.... it was - mesmerizing. Of course the vid was equally great - but I had to re-watch it, because I was sidetracked by the song to the point I didn't really "see" the vid the first time. I'm less "visual" about stuff like that than I am "audial"....

LoL...skills.

Yes you can use Sword and Shield...and armor. But be Aware that part of the point system and what you get the most points for.. is "mastering" a magical school by finishing the Ritual Quest..it is against the rules to make anything "Legendary".

So Adryannia Fought the Dragon at the Watch Tower...and...no soul, quest did not progress. .. I reloaded as she was leaving Whiterun ( out the gate...auto save) Ran through killing the dragon again.. no soul, quest did not progress. I "setstage" to that point... but as this IS a competition, so I thought I would ask...

Restart from Ulfric/Ralof or continue to play from the Watch tower?

I would vote for allowing you to restart from Ulfric/Ralof without a time penalty, and I think it would be wise to do so. Once a save is corrupted (and yours is) there's no telling when the next problem will arise.

If you happen to have an intermediate save (earlier than that autosave) you might try that. Otherwise, I'd say just start over.

I agree with Glargg
The general Did rules allow for restarts due to glitches bugs, cats on keyboards and anything else outside of player control.

The original did rules are the framework upon which our rules (modified) are predicated. Therefore it is reasonable to allow restarts for glitches, bugs and corruptions....back to the conditions prevailing at the time the affected run commenced.

OK..Thank's guy's... Ugh..I'll start over, thankfully it isn't that much in time lost. Like you said Glargg the file is corrupted...their IS another issue and I didn't even think about it. Erik is carrying around a shield that Adryannia took away from him.

Hmmmpm I may just save her preset's and start completely over...just to be sure.
