just get them to attack each other).\u00a0 I wasn&#8217;t stealthing a lot then but found my illusion spells weren&#8217;t leveling up fast enough so did some enchanting and used a stamina stealing mace.\u00a0 I loved that strategy.\u00a0 Just whack &#8217;em until they&#8217;re exhausted then finish them off.\u00a0\u00a0 Things were going well until the Bard college started looking interesting.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t want to give up my magical-ness I had been accruing as I had just started some of the mage quests at the college of Winterhold.\u00a0\u00a0 I started a new character which went to the bard college for a bit and then decided I would just do everything with the one character.\u00a0 Well, I got bored one day and helped out a little kid doing some ritual wanting someone dead.\u00a0 Well, he was part of an orphanage and I thought &#8220;just one evil deed to round out the character.\u00a0 Besides I&#8217;m going to check out the evil quests eventually with this character.\u00a0 Why not now?&#8221;.\u00a0 Now I didn&#8217;t make my character sleep in inns &#8211; or much at all &#8211; so I did the assassination and went my merry way for quite a few levels before anything came about it.\u00a0 About 10 levels later I was unearthing a dragon priest mask and thinking about how to solve the Labyrinth quest when I came across a quest that required me to go to sleep.\u00a0 When I did, I suddenly woke up to the Dark Brotherhood asking me to complete some more assassinations.\u00a0 I actually saved here and tried all sorts of ways to get out of it, but there wasn&#8217;t much option but to kill one of the characters or die myself.\u00a0 So, I went through with it and considered just ignoring the assassin quests.<\/p>\n<p>I went on to try companions helping me in quests so I could heal them and lightning bolt the enemies, but they kept getting in the way of my lightning bolts which I was getting quite good at.\u00a0 Since I was so frustrated with them I thought I&#8217;d try a ranged attack that was a bit more precise &#8211; Archery.\u00a0 This was a skill I was trying with the temporary character and really enjoying.\u00a0 So I tried it out a bit and enjoyed the stealthy sniping.\u00a0 That&#8217;s when I realized &#8211; Stealthy Archer Assassin! so cool!\u00a0 And then even cooler &#8211; ASSASSIN PRIEST!\u00a0 Life and Death with one character.\u00a0 How even cooler!<\/p>\n<p>And so, I went forth as the assassin priest.\u00a0 Making potions and enchanting bows to great awesomeness.<\/p>\n<p>My last aside which I think is worth mentioning.\u00a0 right in the beginning I really enjoyed the underwater breathing of argonians.\u00a0 I swam through the rivers EVERYWHERE.\u00a0 So much! They were my transit system.\u00a0 So cool.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Check out Skyrim if you haven&#8217;t yet.\u00a0 It&#8217;s lots of fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huzzah!\u00a0 I have gotten the Elder Scroll, gone over to Sovngarde, and defeated Alduin!\u00a0 I am Dovahkiin!\u00a0 Having completed the main quest I feel I have &#8220;finished&#8221; Skyrim and now will get to muck around doing whatever (which is still lots of fun, but also means I&#8217;ll be okay with working with the creator tool [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=534"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":539,"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534\/revisions\/539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenpugh.ca\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
