The Tale of Aryndra’s Domestic Bliss (fraught with tragedy and confusion)

So it went down something like this:

In a fit of pique over having lost my trusty desktop of six years, I decided to take a risk and install Skyrim on my laptop. Put the graphics settings way down. Added a core temperature background utility. Resolved not to go overboard with mods. Crossed my fingers and created a brand new character. Haven't played in a while, and I was never much of a master gamer, so I went ahead and put it on the lowest difficulty setting because fuck, I play for fun and that's what's gonna make it more fun for me.

Foregone conclusion: I created an Argonian character. My very first Dragonborn was an Argonian named Alika who gave no fucks and ran around the countryside doing whatever she felt like. Normally I trend strongly towards stealth characters but with Aryndra I decided it would be fun to try messing with more warrior-like skills and gave her a sword and shield instead of making her a dual-wielder or an archer. And promptly had her join the Companions. Blocking with a shield is tricky because it runs contrary to my usual play style, but she was doing okay. Went to Bleak Falls, started progressing the man quest, all was well.

Since I was into breaking patterns, I wanted to try recruiting some followers I hadn't messed with before. Once I finished to Companions quest line I started in with Njada because she trains you for shields and that's useful, and she proved to be unexpectedly amusing. Except the lower level Companions followers run out of steam pretty fast, at level 25. Really, it's best to race through the whole Companions quest line early on, so you can best take advantage of them, otherwise by the time the younglings are available as followers they're no use to you. So after I took on Njada I started looking into orc stronghold followers, because I had never messed with them, either.

Now, Aryndra's a warrior and a good & pure soul, but the stealth skill lines are super useful and I almost always end up having to invest something into them. I can't do without lockpicking and speech skills at the very least. Still, when I finally fought my way to Mor Khazgur and tried to sweet talk Borgakh into ditching her dad and going adventuring with a strange Argonian, it didn't go too great. So I doubled back and went to do some other things, and waited until I had the necessary speech boosts to try again.

When I showed up at the stronghold again, a fucking dragon showed up. Out of the blue. A big old frost dragon. I forgot to take a screencap to commemorate the occasion, but it was pretty epic. So Aryndra shows up to beg Borgakh to come with her, because she's not willing to pay her dowry even though she has the money, and next thing you know she's slaying a damn dragon in the middle of a stronghold surrounded by grizzled orc warriors. Naturally from that moment I knew that it was Fated that Aryndra and Borgakh must marry. She slew a dragon for her, for fuck's sake! She's a hero!

Except I still wanted to try her out as a follower first, so I kept dragging her around Skyrim beheading everything in sight until Ary hit level thirty, when we would head to Riften to do the wedding thing and live in wedded bliss. I have Hearthfire, so she had already been working on building her beautiful lakeside manor house for some time now. I'd also stashed away some fancy clothes among all the other "someday" junk she hoards in her various chests and containers. While I was dragging Borgakh around to get to know her better, I had Aryndra make her a "promise ring" and enchant it with frost resistance, so I could give it a corny name like "Ring of Warmth". And then she wouldn't wear it because it was inferior to her existing gear.

Of course, by the time I was pretty much ready to do the wedding, I'd forgotten all about the fancy clothes and ended up in Riften having proposed and set a date, but with nothing to wear but armor. On a whim I started rampaging through the city, looking for free clothes I could appropriate. The fancy clothes are too pricey for friends to let you just take them from their houses, and Aryndra is too Good & Pure to steal (unlike most of my PCs). So she ended up going to the altar in regular day clothes and  was resigned to Borgakh being in full steel plate.

Except I had taken away her default chest piece when I replaced it with one that Ary had upgraded, so when I walked into Mara's Temple Ary's bride was facing her in steel greaves and gauntlets, and weird leathery Skyrim underwear. Looking exactly like a pinup from an old school sword & sorcery novel. At least a couple of her family showed up to the ceremony? And Ary's side had Vilkas, plus two people that I honestly did not recognize. I chatted a little with Vilkas on the way out and he was much less grumpy than usual.

While I was chatting, Ary's new wife exited the temple and fucked off to who knows where, without their having made any arrangements about where to live. This is a notorious bug, so I was freaking out a little. Especially since Ary had shortly before purchased a second home and I wasn't sure where Borgakh would be headed. I looked for her in Whiterun and she wasn't there, although Lydia seemed relieved not to be forever sitting at the dinner table in Dragonsreach. I looked for her in Lakeview. Resignedly, I decided that it was time to look for her in Mor Khazgur with her family.

So I fast traveled to the stronghold and ran around looking for her. She wasn't outside and the door to the interior was irritatingly locked, s that picking the lock and going inside, though easy, would have landed Ary in hot water with the in-laws. I was starting to get pretty crabby with my lost wife and contemplating how far back a save I would need to load to fix it, and then I heard it. An unmistakable roar.

"You can't and you won't," I thought, naively.

But he could, and he did.

Two days after Ary and Borgakh's wedding, a dragon attacked Mor Khazgur for the second time.

After she killed the damn thing, I lost patience and opened up the console. I found Borgakh stranded cheerfully, still in her underwear, somewhere west of Solitude. She seemed to have decided to walk from Riften to her dad's house, and it seemed like it was slow going to say the least. Fortunately, when I caught her and spoke with her the usual marriage dialogue triggered and I sent her off to Ary's fabulous country estate in Lakeview. Then I headed to Riverwood where Delphine was waiting for me, with about thirty invisibility potions stashed in inventory.

Now I had planned on Ary adopting two of the Hearthfire orphans, since she's too Good & Pure to join the Dark Brotherhood an so the orphanage is perpetually out of bounds for her. Of course I knew in theory that the other kids in Skyrim that had parents could lose them, but I thought, hey, what are the odds of losing both parents? Maybe one of the single-parent families would get stranded, like those girls in Dragon Bridge with their d-bag dad. But both parents getting killed? No point in waiting for that to happen, right?

While all that was going on, I had spent several game days running around between different settlements in Skyrim trying to get my equipment together for this particular quest. I really wanted Ary to be able to cast Muffle, which should be easy enough since it's not a very high level spell and it's terribly useful for infiltrating embassies and so on. Except I had forgotten that Ary's a warrior and I'd never once upgraded her magicka pool, which left her well short of the required amount without proper equipment to enhance it. And in the course of my rambling from merchant to merchant, looking for some kind of magicka-boosting ring or hood or something, I ran into another dragon, this time in Riverwood.

The mod that prevents civilians from trying to kill a dragon with kitchen utensils? It recently updated to merge with another mod, and now requires a second DLC which I don't have, or else it crashes my game. Very tragic. While Aryndra and her intended orc-wife were frantically trying to slay the dragon, that scaly bastard killed two Whiterun guards, the smith Alvor, and his wife. The smithy in Riverwood? Abandoned now. One less smith for me to buy iron ingots from so I can make thousands of nails for my homestead. This, I did remember to catch screencaps of.

When Ary returned to Riverwood alone, ready to infiltrate the Thalmor, she ran into Dorthe, Alvor and Sigrid's daughter, and young cousin to our old friend Hadvar. 

So, that's the story. That's how Aryndra the Harbinger ended up with an orc wife and a little orphan girl, living in a beautiful lakeside estate. With her housecarl Rayya of course, who she might end up dragging on adventures next. And Njada, who's been permanently "retired" to the countryside to serve as steward. I'd say between these three ladies, Dorthe is pretty well-protected. Even if her new orc mom is still wearing underwear.

Attack on Backlog 2017 - No. 2 

DOOM (2016)

Breakdown: PS4 version at 38% cheevos and just under 16 hours; played the first few areas on Ultra-Violence and toned it down to Hurt Me Plenty because holy moly the enemies become bullet sponges, not unlike fellow FPS stablemate Wolfenstein The New Order at higher difficulties. Did not touch MP nor SnapMap because I don’t have PS Plus nor do I particularly care for multiplayer and self generated content.

I like this game! I like it quite a bit. It’s not as crazy and inventive as Painkiller Black Edition though. But, whatever. I’ll take good enough!

My memories of DOOM (or was it DOOM 2?) are hazy at best, but I do remember being quite scurred as a little babby child playing it. I’ll remember it best for those iconic sound effects and the meaty shotgun. Glorious, glorious shotgun. Even talking about it now I want to tip Steam a tenner and pick up the classic games. Goddamnit. Why am I still here?

Moving on, my experience with DOOM 3 taught me that monster closets are bullshit. DOOM 3 is the king of monster closets. It’s not my favorite thing. I believe, if memory serves, I got fairly far into that game, into Hell, and I put the thing down, because monster closets everywhere. God.

I even watched the DOOM movie in theatres and I enjoyed that one too but the DOOM 3 inspirations were a bit much.

So here we are with new DOOM. It’s really fast, it’s really stupid and it makes the fans in my PS4 weep and my my is idTech 6 pretty. Like really pretty. And 60fps too! Still, I’d say if you have a capable enough PC, just get it for that platform. You’ll want it to do the crazy acrobatics the air control rune upgrade affords you. The controller layout is great but it is what it is.

I also really like the big dumb lore dumps they throw at you! I’m a fan of that cheesy lore with the big stupid Mortal Kombat-like Hell levels and the reverence for the DOOOOMSLAYERRRR. It’s like the shooter equivalent to Diablo 3′s tone. I even own the artbook for that game! Though I am not a fan of the aesthetic they’ve chosen here, and again I’ll level the same complaint with D3′s art direction (and seemingly all of Blizzard’s homogenized, teen-friendly fantasy output since World of Warcraft). To me, both games could stand to be grimier to truly emulate that 90s/early 2000s aesthetic. And for DOOM 2016, I’m still not a fan of the overly sci-fi approach to storytelling and environment design and yes I know the UAC’s always existed in the first games and he’s always been a space marine. I guess I wanted a deliberately low-tech approach to everything in the same way the newest Star Wars movies and Alien Isolation pays homage to vintage looking tech? Meh.

But, if we’re going to have high-tech gadgetry then make it more like this! The weapon designs are wonderful. Truly wonderful. The pistol is kind of underwhelming though; I’d have preferred if they kept the sidearm from the classic games but this is set in the distant future so okay, fair enough. And the upgrades are all pretty good! The mods are all quite useful (Plasma’s Stun Bomb being very very useful) and I appreciate that the upgrades are all designed to remove their weaknesses and make them more effective. 

The game truly gets good in the last third because it starts featuring the densest combination of enemies and it’s where a lot of the level design opens up to become more gamey where you can use your double jumps to full effect. When a track like BFG Division comes on and you get the Glory Kills going whilst swapping weapons out and the gore and particle effects are going wild it’s quite a thrill! I even enjoyed the boss fights! They’re very videogamey and almost character action in style. I also briefly tried the Arcade Mode that was patched in and it seems pretty cool, though its seemingly just a score multiplier overlaid on top of the existing game, without altering the mix of enemies nor their bodycount. I would’ve preferred a wave mode kind of implementation but such as it is, its a decent if not stellar addition. 

Also, playing with classic view (where it centers the model) is amazing and actually helps your aim! 

So to conclude... I enjoyed this quite a bit more than the new Wolfenstein, which I also liked but never found myself truly enjoying. But! I do want to revisit that one again on PS4 now for some odd reason. Hmmm...
