Whiterun

Ash continues her search for survivors, including her mentor, Wulf, and the wayward student, Eva in the ruins of the once magnificent hold of Whiterun, where only draugr, vampires, and other hostile creatures lurk. Meanwhile, the Legionnaires at Camp Argentum have broken camp, and hastily moved into Fort Greymoor, where they plan to spend the coming winter...

Finding Wulf

Ash's mentor, and Grandmaster of the Witcher's Guild in Skyrim, Wulf has been hunting the ancient vampire, Gorlok the Pale. Turned two millennia ago by the Blood Matron herself, Gorlok fears neither Aedra, nor Daedra, and has been on a bloodthirsty rampage since Lamae's return. Skilled in the dark arts of necromancy and blood magic, Gorlok's unfortunate victims are often raised to serve him in death.

Afterward

Spoiler

I had planned on doing a good, long chapter this weekend, but I spent most of the weekend patching the LE port of Northern Roads to work flawlessly with the LE port of Shattered, and the dozens of other landscape altering mods I've been using. Camp Argentum was going to stick around, but I would have had to completely rebuild the camp in the CK due to the mod author positioning it where he did, so yeah... They're moving to Fort Greymoor, and the story must go on!

 

I wish someone would port Project Proteus to LE so I didn't have to use Familiar Faces, or manually turn my other characters into in-game npcs just so Ash can talk to people like Marius, and Freja. Familiar Faces has broken just about every save I've ever used it on, but maybe I'm just really unlucky. I'm going to attempt to turn Gorlok into a mod sort of like the old Sinister Seven, where he'll hunt the PC throughout the game, appearing where you least expect him, or sending undead minions after you. Someone needs to make addons for the LE port of Shattered, right?

 

Aside from using it for the blog, I've actually been having a lot of fun playing through a shattered Skyrim with the slightly absurd load order I've put together. It's definitely a challenge when you're fighting a bunch of low level creatures to clear an area, only to have a modded creature that's twenty levels higher than your character show up and force you to use every trick you have just to survive the battle. Demonic Creatures is a fantastic mod, and I've customized it to fit the shattered world perfectly. I've also customized SL Defeat so there's still a chance my character will die, especially if she can't get away after the lewdness is over. Poor Eva barely made it out of Bleak Falls Barrow, which I added a few high level vampires and gargoyles to.

 

Now that all the patching and sorting the load order is done, I should be able to spend enough time actually playing the game to have plenty of screenshots for a new chapter next weekend.
