I’m not sure whether I can technically call this a postmortem, since I’m going to continue to play the game, but I finished Skyrim’s main plot last night. Not only did I finish the main story, but I found 20 shouts, read 50 skill books, got married, and I’m the guildmaster of the Thieves’ Guild. You see, I’m going for 100% completion on the game’s achievements<\/a>. I believe I’ve got most of the harder ones at this point, but on my second runthrough I’ve got to focus on the Wizard, Companions, and the Dark Brotherhood storylines, which I pretty much ignored my first time through. I’ve also got to get all the Daedric artifacts, which I expect to be the toughest remaining achievement. I got something like 13 of them during my first playthrough, but I screwed up on two and wasn’t able to get them. I’ll have to be very careful next time.<\/p>\n

I’m going to start a new character, since my current character is level 51, and the game is no longer much of a challenge. This time I plan to focus on the skills I neglected with my first character: pickpocketing, heavy armor, and blacksmithing. I’d like to try out 2-handed weapons as well, but there’s a perk that enables slow motion when you block with a shield, and I’d really like to try that one.<\/p>\n

So tonight, in my hour or so of free time, I get to hunt for some new mods to install in prep for my new character. Looking forward to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
