I got sucked back into Skyrim this week. My first playthrough didnāt get very far; I was tromping around as a Nord warrior, and it didnāt really connect me to my choices, and my choices to the story, as much as I would have preferred.
After watching the Grosjean Brothersā hilarious Skyrim 2012 sequel, I decided to re-roll and create āGregethor,ā in the image of their friend Greg, who plays the distant descendant of Whiterunās sleazy merchant, Belethor (that picture, above, is of the two meeting). As Belethor is a Breton, I chose that race for my Gregethor, and that made going the mage route more sensible. I decided to play it loosely like old D&Dāno armor, but I allowed myself the use of one-handed weapons and, of course, a bow (until I acquired firebolt.) Iām going up the destruction power tree, with some attention to enchanting and alchemy.
