Review of the mod The Tools of Kagrenac, as played by me in the Tuxborn load order. Contains spoilers for the mod, as well as one spoiler relevant to running it in the Tuxborn load order in particular.

Spoiler-free picoreview: found several aspects of it frustrating and the narrative a bit weak, but despite this, did actually enjoy playing it.

A look at how I choose to set up my radial menus and back buttons when playing Tuxborn on my Steam Deck.

And now, just because I felt like it, the character I'll be playing in my next full Skyrim playthrough, when Tuxborn 1.2 drops!

Some of you long familiar with my musical tastes may find this guy looks a trifle familiar. ;D My only sadness is, bouzoukis do not exist in Skyrim, so Imma hafta have him play the lyre!

And for those of you familiar with my Rebels of Adalonia books, yes, I WILL be naming him Kestar!

Wrapup post to formally conclude Elessir's Skyrim run, long, long after I actually stopped playing him. LOL.

In which I finally finish off posting about Elessir's playthrough, covering his last ten or so sessions. This post finishes off the tail end of Solstheim action; the tail end of Lucien's personal quest; and running Beyond Skyrim: Bruma for the first time! Contains spoilers for Lucien's quest, as well as spoilers for Bruma.

In which Siobhan helps Riverville's alchemist by recovering a lost elixir; and learns more about the Magister who'd killed himself.

Next Enderal playthrough post. This one's pretty short, but so was the play session!

In which Siobhan flees her homeland of Nehrim and stows away on a ship to Enderal, only to have that go VERY badly; wakes up on an unknown shore plagued with a weird fever and visions; makes it through an abandoned temple; meets a mercenary who saves her from bandits, and agrees to help him on his mission; rescues a baby leor; and finally reaches the safety of Riverville.

Very first post in a new playthrough! This is me playing Enderal, a total conversion mod for Skyrim, that turns it into a completely different game. I'm using the Emissaries of Tux modpack to run it, since Emissaries is done by the same dev who does Tuxborn.

I have NOT been doing much in the way of playthrough writeups lately, especially for ESO. But here at least is a status check for Gyllerah, my main, the Templar healer.

Some tips on ways to make modding Skyrim easier on a Steam Deck, drawing on things that have worked for me personally.

I did a test install of Emissaries of Tux, the modlist by the same dev who brought us Tuxborn for Skyrim. Since there isn't a formal install guide for how to install Emissaries on Steam Deck yet, I wrote this post up to cover my notes for how it worked for me. Emissaries is not currently installable due to a mod in the list going into Nexus mod review, but bookmark this post to refer back to when the list can be installed again.
