As already announced today on the Livestream, Kahdzbar is not the only Let’s Play I’m exhuming. Starting around this time next week, I will be resurrecting my tech-aborted LP of Oblivion<\/a>, which will be continued on a weekly basis for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

I’ll be picking up where I left off–stranded in Bravil, contemplating the Dark Brotherhood plotline. I’m not sure I can recover my original save, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to regain the handful of levels and smattering of meager equipment that I’d accumulated when I left off, and I don’t plan to return to any of the questlines I’d already started. Either way, I should be fine.<\/p>\n

One thing that’s exciting is that I’ve acquired all of the expansion material, which I have thus far not had access to. This means Knights of the Nine, Mehrune’s Razor, Shivering Isles–I’ve never played any of ’em before. It’ll be interesting to see whether I can sustain a blind Let’s Play in this format–whether I can deliver entertaining commentary on something I’m experiencing for the first time. If the answer is yes, it might motivate me to do an LP of my first Skyrim run. It would mean breaking my Bosmer dynasty from Daggerfall through Oblivion, but I think I could just about be persuaded to trade in a line of solemn shadow warriors for a single inveterate nudist. And besides, despite his long track record of failure and incompetence, I’m rather more fond of Cahmel than I am of my more successful, well-balanced characters.<\/p>\n

Anyway, be on the lookout for that. I’m off to go fill up my gameplay buffer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
