I did it.

I did it.

I only went and fucking did it!

I retook Kvatch.

I thought it was impossible. I thought even clearing the first courtyard was impossible. But I did it. It took all my useful potions. My armor and weapons are in tatters. My magical weapons are completely depleted. I am tired and worn out and covered with dirt and drenched in blood and I will have scars aplenty, but I am alive and I am triumphant.

I’m not at all sure it goes any better than this.

Just time for a couple of Dark Brotherhood missions today.

The first one was a major one and has left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. I guess that’s what I get for being a hired murderer, though.

Second one was a lot nicer. Lovely horse ride through a forest, then a nice kill of someone really very evil indeed.

Mainly Dark Brotherhood missions this evening. Good stuff.

Unfortunately I had to kill a guard when I forgot to take off my costume and change back to my civilian identity before wandering into Imperial City. He saw, decided killing me would give a fast track promotion and followed me all the way to my bedroom, so I had to kill him there, meaning I’m left with a naked corpse in a corner of the room. I’ve tried to hide him as much as possible, but I can still see him scrunched up between some crates. Annoying.

I’m having real trouble finding places to sell stuff I find. I used to sell all my weapons at the Smash ‘n’ Slash – the orc there loves me now – but I can only get a maximum of 800G for everything there, which is a bit rubbish when something’s worth 3,000G.

I’ve not turned the difficulty level down yet, but I might at some point. I ran into some ice giant today and my arrows just bounced off him. But I suppose I did choose to be a thief. I’m not meant to be going toe-to-toe with giants. So maybe I shouldn’t complain… except that means there’s a lot of stuff I can’t do. I guess I need to wait for cover of night and sneak past, or lure it away and then run until I lose it and then try to beat it back to where it started if it’s somewhere I need to go…

We’ll see.

Oh dear.

I was trying to prove that it’s possible to kill people for no reason and get no bounty for doing so. So I snuck into a house in Bravil and slaughtered the woman I found inside eating breakfast.

I then went out and talked to a guard, who didn’t arrest me. And my stats screen showed no bounty. So, the perfect crime.

I wasn’t going to save after this, not being the murdering type. But the game had autosaved when I left the dead woman’s house and my last maunal save was right before the tricky bit of a mission I did a while ago.

So I’m stuck as a murderer. Oh well, I might as well embrace my new calling. There’s a man called Rufio…

I finished the Thieves Guild missions last night.

The final two were excellent. The penultimate mission I used lateral thinking to get past and the final mission was all about the sneaking.

Fantastic stuff.
