I have struggled to continue the story to my satisfaction. I have written myself into a corner.
So…
I will be starting again and will have a simpler path to RoC.
I want to write regular blog entries, so this is the way forward. Rigmor will be introduced early and will participate in the major events of Skyrim before crossing the border.
Personally, I enjoyed where you were going with the story, hell I’ve enjoyed where you were going with each one, but YOU are just as much part of this wild ride, as the author, as Wulf is on any adventure Rigmor takes him on. We all know that you will do an amazing job on the story of Wulf and Rigmor, and can’t wait to see where they go in this new adventure. I mean by now we know the “story beats” with Rigmor through the mod, but through your own load order you create an amazing story for everyone to enjoy so its always feel like a new story/adventure with Rigmor everytime.
I welcome the change and believe we who write, especially about a character like Rigmor need to do a reset once in a while and think differently on how we want to tell the story. Although I have not been on Jim’s server for a long-time now. I have continued to follow your writing through the emails I receive and always enjoy them. I wish you the best in your fresh start. Tell everyone on the server I miss them all but being an old fart. I am too settled in my ways and my path like Rigmor’s has never been the easy one.
Your writing has never disappointed Mark. I look forward to your coming offerings.
Honestly I’m fine with anything that allows for the continuation of these journals as i love these journals and love your writing in general and have thought many times what kind of interesting story you could write for Wulf if completely separate from the constraint of gameplay and go full just story blog but i also understand that would most likely make these journals a lot harder to make but anyway cant wait to see where we pick up at with Wulf
If you de
Sorry, looks like my comment was cut off. Just wanted to say if you decide to start again, I’m sure we’re all with you. And it might even be easier for me to follow this time. 🙂
A lot of newer mods ended up incompatible. So…clean start with a whole lot of mods I have never used. It will look pretty and I there will be three way conversations amongst the followers, which means I might have to record some parts to video to capture it all. RoC will be 4K parallax. I might use the new versions of RoB and RoC we have been beta testing.
That definitely all sounds good to me. I always try to get my Skyrim looking as beautiful and realistic as possible. Thanks, Mark, for all your hard work!
I breath a huge sigh of relief because I thought there was something wrong health wise that was causing the time span, being bloody hot and all. I was wondering where your journal was heading and looking forward to finding out. Now I’m excited to read the next one. I have found that a few of the mods make The Dragonborn too powerful and a little complicated. I like the Follower Dialogue Expansion group of mods, Alternate Start and the Dragonborn powers and Ningheim race. Also Ashe, she is interesting and talks to Serana a lot.
I tried different approaches, but nothing fitted the direction I wanted. I got frustrated and when I read back on earlier journal entries, I realised the formula for entertaining and fun to write stuff was not what I was now doing. Rigmor will aid Wulf in every major quest of the original Skyrim and anniversary edition. Well known NPCs from other mods will join them. Their relationship will be strong and the break before RoC will be difficult for Rigmor. My load order is stable and I am confident I can add to it if I want to pursue new mods as they are released.
Newer version of RoB and RoC? Didn’t know that was happening, are you allowed to give us some hints as to the changes and or extras.
RoB Directors Cut will return some of the events to their original locations. That might cause problems with other mods but it matches Jim’s vision so be it. Areas such as the destroyed Azura shrine and the Black Diamond Mine have been redesigned. The RoC map has been changed in preparation for RoT. When the map is released, you will see a difference in many of the existing buildings, however, much of the map will be inaccessible until RoT even though they are populated with people and buildings as we test it.
Thanks Mark for that info, I bet the others were itching to ask as well.
Mark, not trying to hurry you up, you would tell me to go anyway, but when will you start publishing you latest journals? I’m suffering from with drawl symptoms something badly.
I’m right there with you I’ve been checking here literally several times a day at this point lol
Oh’ your waiting for the updated Rigmor mods.
I had been playing through a few days worth of journals when a warning appeared about the number of references being used. Skyrim has a limit of just over 1 million and I was over the 800,000 mark. ELFX and the tree mods I was using would eventually break the save games. So I had to do a quick rebuild, again, and now it seems stable. Understand that I must be comfortable I am not going to have issues. So, I am currently playing through the first journal entries again.
Thanks for that info Mark, I was getting worried. I am really looking forward to reading the next set. Have finished reading the second set again I will start reading the first set again while I wait.
