saving in Skyrim

27/8/2019

Response to an elderly gamer (83) on youtube who consistently keeps dying after doing whole dungeons because she doesn't save her game (on a video in which her follower got stuck):

"This is why saving is so important WHEN YOU HAVE A FOLLOWER.

Because when (not if) something happens to your follower when eg:

1.they get in the way of an arrow and die (it's happened in my case numerous times) or

2. they get stuck like here or

3. you're relying on them to fight for you and you die,

you're done for. When they die, the "resurrect" cheat brings them back without your added apparel/weapons you've improved by smithing or found for them. 

Don't trust Autosave (it could be way back in your travels), always get in the habit of pressing Esc to Manual Save and keep an eye on the red bar, and you can also save mid-fight in time for running away or potions."

(Her reply? "No kidding.")

Yet she keeps not saving and then dying. Each to their own if you love dying and don't care for progression and keeping all the goodies you found or prefer to work your butt off getting somewhere for no reason other than dying.

a long-forgotten draft from March 2015

I'm satisfying my itch and replaying Skyrim from the beginning. I'm about 2 months in or some such. A few hours here and there because I've started a study course and can't afford to waste time. HOWEVER, that said, Skyrim is not wasting time and it's a wonderful way for me to relax. Yup, I relax killing trolls at Keeps or Draugrs (notice the word "guard" backwards?) in long-forgotten dungeons.

I'm giving you the finger! Back off!
Skyrim's music is just beautiful. Sometimes I play just for the music. Jeremy Soule wrote the score. Here's his Streets of Whiterun theme, my video from my riteasrain youtube channel:

The Solitude of 'Skyrim' Remains The Remedy For An Overly-Connected Age

And a comment someone made on there:

"Multiplayer is incredibly overrated. It makes it so the games have a shelf-life, a moment where there’s not enough people playing it anymore and the only way you can play with them is to painstakingly gather enough people to play it and even then a lot of the game’s content is locked away for public matchmaking. And that’s assuming the publisher doesn’t shut down the servers completely after a few years. Games like Skyrim don’t have that problem, in fact as time goes on modders make hundreds of hours more content to play."

Too True!

Here you go, my Skyrim painting in ArtRage 4 of Hildegarde on Shadowmere, my gameplay. The armour is a mod. I added some preset grasses, mainly used oil brush, palette knife and ink pen, with 8 layers altogether. I used the trace function to pick up the colours. Took me around 6 hours.

My gameplay. Trolls, necromancers, bears, ghosts, bandits, the lot. Oh yes, and
dragons. Except they kill Hildegarde.
