I actually started this thread on another profile.

Last night I spent my time finding building materials and a steward, I ended up with some guy from Morthal apparently I'm his Thane (next time I play through I must stop killing so many followers) and finished building my house then I moved all my stuff in. I surveyed my new home then climbed to the top of my tower and sat down in the chair and watched the sunset. Sadly it is the end of the adventures for my current characters (until the next DLC comes out).

I bought a plot of land in Morthal, recruited my new Morthal Housecarl for a bit, and began building on my new plot of land. Went home to Falkreath, gave my daughter's some dolls, then headed off to Riften to buy Iron from every shop keeper there, including the ones in the Ragged Flagon. Oh, and I hunted some deer in the Morthal swamps while traveling to my new land.

Overall, pretty uneventful day.

The usual stuff, killing dragons and [&@%!]

I ate human hearts, just for the fun of it.

Regained the Pale for General Tulius, and got promoted. The next few seconds went like this:

"Here, take this blade as a symbol of your new rank."

'Dwarven Shield added'

Me:"....wat"

What a coincidence, I just took back the Pale for Ulfric Stormcloak, and actually got a sword. Smaall(done for sarcastic emphasis) World.

I ran around Falkreath doing a few minor quests while I tried to decide where to build my new home on my Thief/Assassin character. I eventually gave up and thought I'd finally start a heavy armour character that will be allied with the Empire, but I can't decide on a race. Not very eventful today, like most days

I say an Imperial would be your best choice.

Lets see...my elf explored some Dwarven ruins and roamed around the hills of the Reach like a wildchild. And my Imperial made jewelery.

I realized I had a backlog of 1489038920839201 misc. quests and grabbed my husbando Onmund to clear 'em out.

I'm a terrible completionist and want to get things finished before I further the Alduin/Civil War quests :p Folks need their Finely Cut Void-Salts and missing books before the world goes to hell and all :'D

Today I completed the "Lost to the Ages" quest and I decided to make the shield, although the enchantment wasn't really as great as I thought it was going to be.
I think the Aetherium Forge is the only place with lava in Skyrim, I saw a rock in the middle of it, and tried to Whirlwind Sprint on to it, but I overshot it and burned to death rather quickly.

I killed the "bear eating a mammoth" bear. He didn't stand a chance.

Today, I filled the bookshelf in Lakeview home with spell books. I consider them important for my children's education.

My Altmer had the pleasure of dropping in on a Winterhold college lecture today, done by Phinis Gestor on the Eye of Magnus: "Any and all theories about the Eye are open, if you are interested please speak with Mirabelle." That had me cracking up the way he sounded so "scholastic". With the glowing orb behind him. Heeelarious.

I got 100 enchanting on my Khajiit mage.... And can't enchant anything good on anything due to the game limiting what you can enchant on certain pieces of armour.

I ran through all the dungeons that aren't connected to any questlines, joined the Companions and completed the Companions questline, fought two Dragons at Dragontooth Crater, fought three Dragons in Falkreath, accidentally shot a Falkreath Guard while taking screenshots and then murdered them all, ran to Whiterun and got attacked by an unusually angry Vilkas (he must have been friends with those Falkreath Guards), hung out with the Guild in the Cistern, and then became a Vampire.

All in a days work for Maar "Dur" Staadnau.

Finally got my Breton battlemage at 100 Destruction (guess who forgot to read the Oghma Infinium?) and completed the Dectruction Magic Ritual. Fighting dragons has never been easier when you're kamehameha-ing the absolute -life- out of them >:3c

Finished 'Lost to the Ages' and was spoiled for choice at what to make at the forge-- settled for the staff because for all the grief those spiders gave me, the least they could do is valiantly fight for me.

Still clearing out the misc. quests boohoohoo

I wandered from my base at the college in Winterhold to Windhelm. On the way I came across a NPC called peddlar. Unfortunately, he was dead killed by a group of bandits he got four but the fifth got him, I killed the last bandit and looted all six bodies, (the peddlar had a random inventory with some really nice items in plus a horse) and continued my journey to Windhelm where I got in a fist fight with another Nord over his racist attitude.

With the help of some mods, I created a Skyrim-ized version of Merida from Brave. Her preferred attack method is stealth/archery, and if she's detected she uses conjuration to summon a bear. It's the most fun I've had with this game in a while.

Today, I completed the exterior of my third house.

Following that, I recruited Serana for a bit of vampire hunting at Haemar's Shame. Following that, we returned to Fort Dawnguard, where Florentius informed me that my wife had been kidnapped by vampires. Again. I really wish I could figure out how these vampires keep kidnapping her. I'm married to Mjoll the Lioness. She's only one of the toughest warriors in the game, armed with a Dragonbone Battleaxe I forged for her, though she doesn't wear her Daedric Armor when we're not adventuring together. And at my home of Lakeview Manor, she's constantly surrounded by my new housecarl, Rayya and my Steward Annekke Crag-Jumper. Ofcourse, that still doesn't beat the first time she was kidnapped by vampires, while she was with me in Fort Dawnguard, surrounded by a small army of vampire hunters, hounds and armored trolls. Seriously, how are these vampires turning Mjoll into Princess Peach?

Only thing I can think of is that her stalker, er, manservant Aerin still isn't over the fact that she married someone else and keeps helping them get the drop on her, hoping that maybe this time the vampire will be able to kill me and he'll have another shot at her. I really must instruct my Housecarls to beat him more often.

So, anyway, I rescued my wife from Hobs Fall Cave. Most enemies fell quickly to my Dragonbone Bow and Arrows. Not how I usually play this character, but Sneak and Archery are amoung the few skills I haven't mastered with my original character. Aerin survived the cave inspite his stalking tendencies taking him to a place where he should die in seconds. Which gives more evidense to the notion that he was in on it. Definitely need to get on the housecarls about those beatings. Then, on arriving home, found my house under assault by a Legendary Dragon. Which is good, I've got alot of weapon racks that will be needing Dragonbone weapons to display on them. And all is well with my family once again.
