Tirdas, 18th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 2

July 17, 2012 Leave a comment

I woke up bright and early so I could get a head start and look round the village. I heard last night that the local woodcuters were looking for work so I thought I’d spend the day chopping wood and learning to use the forge.

I ventured into the local store and spoke to the owners who were having an argument about a gold claw which I promised to get back for them. The owner’s sister tried to escort me out of the village but I had to go back and finish my training at the blacksmiths.

I did run into the owner of the lumber and she told me to speak to her husband about getting some work. Read more of this post

Morndas, 17th of Last Seed, 4E 201 – Day 1

July 16, 2012 1 Comment

Today is most definitely a bad day.  I was crossing the border from my village to get work in the next village when I was ambushed by Imperial troops.  They seemed very excited by someone else who was ahead of me and they thought I was one of his troops.

I was bound and thrown onto a cart and taken to Helgin. With me was a thief, a soldier and an Alfric Storm Cloak. General Talius was taking us to be executed.  As I said, it was a bad day.

I’m a Redguard, born and bred for battle. My name is Stave, son of Lews Darksabre, chief of the Redguard clan Treides, and this is my story.

The day just seemed to get worse, not only was I captured by Imperials for supposedly working with the Storm Cloaks but I was now about to be executed. Read more of this post

The Chronicles of Skyrim

July 16, 2012 Leave a comment

Here I am writing a series of diary entries for my adventures in Skyrim. I chronicle the adventures of Stave Darksabre a Redguard and his adventures.  I will write honestly and truthfully about what my character does including the good and the bad.

I won’t cheat, use bugs or any other means to advance my character outside of the original intentions of the developers.  Everything you read here is the happenings of Stave on his adventures in Skyrim.  I will be doing my best to release one a day however there may be times where I put the series on hold for a few days or weeks as I go on holiday (vacation) and the sorts.

If you have any questions let me know and I shall do my best to address them. So I hope you enjoy following the exploits of Stave Darksabre in Skyrim and I hope it excites all those new to Skyrim and brings back fond memories to those who have enjoyed the game already.

Why Windows 8 should be a success

Windows 8 regularly gets lots of negative comments from people online. Now I don’t know this as fact, however it feels like many of the posts by bloggers and reviewers are describing how they are becoming won over by the new UI and the new way of operating the system (see what I did there!) However on the other side of the fence is the community (i.e. the users) who seem to be very vocal  about how bad the OS is despite some, if not many, never even trying it.  I have seen many comparisons between Win 8 and Vista saying that it is destined to fail and so on.
