    It does help somewhat. But my mod list is far closer to vanilla Skyrim in control than not. The options for the event are quite clear - modder's log using an overhaul mod. And it's quite clearly specified what an overhaul mod is - at least one of "Difficulty", "Enemy AI", or "Perks" changed. The closest I have is a four-rune maximum, and runes frankly kind of suck. And while I could install Apocalypse (arguably a difficulty change by the letter of the definition, and definitely "affecting the entire game from Helgen to Sovngarde" by the spirit of the definition), I think I'd rather do, well, what I planned to do. It promises to be great fun regardless of whether I get a shiny participation medal, as well as, primarily, a good way to get "into" the community (if you haven't noticed, I tend towards being quiet and reserved).

    I do have exams going on in June, so I may need to be recused from the shiny participation medal regardless. But I'm almost definitely going to do something, even if I post it on July 1.

    Well. Certainly it makes twisted sense that if you, the player character, are Lydia, then your follower is the Dragonborn and should be perfectly capable of Shouting you out of the way. May I recommend the "Familiar Faces" mod?

    Great Idea, Varg'Ette! I'm loving the suggestions, as well.

    Except for you, Bonelord. Why did you have to choose my beloved Mjoll? Whyyyyyy? There is truly no kindness in this world of the Elder Scrolls :(

    A few questions, Vargr:

    One, am I allowed to do Barbas? I know he doesn't really have any skills, but I thought it would be fun to try to redo a dog, maybe khajiit unarmed build?

    Two, am I allowed to not use any mods? I think it would be a lot cooler to try and recreate the character only using the vanilla skills and perks.

    Three, am I allowed to use weapons or spells the follower doesn't use as long as it fits under their skills? Eg; could I use a daedric sword instead of an iron sword, because Kharjo has some one-handed? Just checking.

    If not allowed Barbas *sad face* and Bonelord doesn't show consideration (give me back my Mjoll!) then I'll have Kharjo! (Because Khajiit's got your back)

    *You should probably sign Sotek up for Aela*

    Familiar Faces is a great mod, if I could participate then I would probably actually bring this idea into reality.

    Ah, I was just clearing up that you could post a Modder's Log outside of the Event, more clarifying that for a Modder's Log (outside of the Event) it doesn't have to be something that's all that large. I think it was more an immediete reaction because I've said something similar to about half the people I've talked about the Logs with but yeah, for this Event it is a bit more of a requirement.

    Hey, Dragonborn? Can I has Barbas?

    If not, Can I has Mjoll as well? (Bonelord, you horrid Draugr! You stole my beloved Mjoll!) If not Mjoll or Barbas, sign me up for Kharjo, cuz khajiit's got ur back!

    In that case, thank you for the clarification - but I think I'd rather head over to the Story Corner instead anyway. I believe I told Sotek a year ago that I'd publish something, and while the something I'd had in mind is a first draft and also a steaming pile of crap, like many first drafts, I can definitely clean up a log/journal-style piece quickly enough to be fairly presentable and therefore fit my "publishing" criteria. It's long past time anyway.

    Yo IK, I'm no Vargr but I'll answer anyway. EDIT: Bugger you even asked me afterwards, consider yourself answere.

    1 - Sure, why not? He's a follower and has the Heavy Armour, One-Handed, Archery and Block skills so (according to UESP anyway)...You know, I really don't see why you couldn't run Barbas. 

    2 - That's the first option, this doesn't have to be a modded Event and instead you can create a vanilla playthrough, the idea was to allow everyone to participate even if they aren't real big on modding their game so it's a part of the Event.

    3 - I'm tentaviley going to say yes to this as well. I don't recall if we talked about it but as far as I can remember (and from all our notes on the Event) there was nothing that specifically mentioned the equipment the character uses, or whether they have to stick to certain spells if they're a mage. The only rules are really the level cap and the fact that it has to fit the skill set the character has.

    I'm down for either the Barbas or Kharjo, though honestly I'm more interested in the former which is expected :D Good luck mate, and I'm throwing you in for Barbas for now.

    You ain't no Vargr, but you're sure one good Dragonborn!
