@Gnewna

I haven't read your blog but the first part seems really awesome so I'm going to have to rectify that at some point. I can see why you might want to abridge Serana's a little bit more though if your working on a build (and whatever else) at the same time, it's still fun to read so that's the important thing I say, if you can say something in 100 words instead of 1000 that's all well and good :D

@ShinJin

My first instinct is to shake you and scream "NO SHIN UPLOAD NOW" but really I don't have an issue with you choosing to upload it all at once. I mean, I think there are benefits to both approaches, with the longer wait and large post you've got a lot more time to make them connect a little bit more and I guess it might read a little bit more like a story. Anyway, consider my approval granted, but not happily because I'm just that eager to see your Log :P

HEad's up Deebs.

Smilodon + Morrowloot Ultimate = freaking Requiem and fooooooook no. Was not fun trying to clear White River Watch and if I go on that route, I'll play a sneak archer and I really don't see Uthgerd with the snek r'chry. 

So, I'm ditching Smilodon. It's a great mod, love it, with Ordinator and Morrowloot, but not with Vanilla perking. So if that means option one for me, buildwise, that's fine. I know Morrowloot is an overhaul, but not a combat, perk, or AI one. I can still do the modder's log though cause Morrowloot's pretty huge. 

On the plus side, thank you Smilodon author for making such a tiny mod that I can ditch mid-game.

[/blockquote]That is a relief (though it's kind of a moot point right now--new baby in the house, and family visiting for the next week or so... I won't be playing for at least a week anyhow xD)

Which is part of the reason for wanting to pull the trigger all at once. If I don't make deadline, I can just release it all as a regular modder's log w/out pulling out of the event and changing tags and feeling all embarrased for missing the deadline, etc.

Also, I am a perpetual revisor/editor. I would keep changing things even though I know that folks who have already read an entry would most likely not read it again. The longer I keep it, the more likely it is that it'll be in the form and format that I want it when folks read it ;D

@Dragonborn. No worries. I can make do with Imperial Leather armor. My plan is to run Vendicci's adventures as a newly-minted soldier/East Empire Agent. Same character, only younger, like Zachary Quinto. Civil War Quest, Companions, maybe use Alternative Start and have her arrive in Solitude. Is that better? :)

Gee Shin, what is that number 8? (assuming that it's your new baby and not just some random one) :P Congrats and all that Shin, but yeah feel free to do it however you want, I'm down for anything as long as I get to read a ShinJin Log eventually :D

Alrighty Liss I'll make the changes to the list (if I need to, can't remember if we added you in for all the mods). I was half debating the idea of dropping Requiem the other day but ended up going with it just for...well I don't know why. Anyway, good luck with Uthgerd even if she isn't dying on a minutely basis :D

That sounds good Dallan, actually it seems like a really cool idea, would you end it with the East Empire Questline bit that you can do in-game as kind of the, well ending note of the build? I think that could be a really cool idea to work her in, starting off from when she first came to Skyrim and ending on her in-game quest. Anyway, sounds good mate, very interested in what you do there.

Yeah, I found that Morrowloot on it's own really is plenty. I mean when your level 4 and messing around with nearly top level bandits, Smilodon just makes it crazy and no longer fun. Lilithia is a build specifically designed for Requiemesque mechanics, Uthgerd is not. I think if I did her with Ordinator, the combo would work better and maybe after the event, if I have time, I'll reroll her with Ordinator.

[/blockquote]Actually, #9 (#8, oddly enough, came exactly 2 years ago this very day). I went dark for 3-6 months with the last one, and I'm really trying to avoid that if I can this go-around... I'm hopeful :D
