Gaming

you'd think having your head blown off meant instant death...
and... Dogmeat? Poor mutt.

The other day I realised I had forgotten which mod I was actually "working on" for Skyrim. Took me a while to remember the chests. But while I'm still considering whether to just skip the whole "animated latch" bit, I decided to continue working on jewelry.

So obviously I am changing Ivarstead.

I seem to always carry a lot of loot once I arrive there and there's no good trader. So I figured I'd add one. And then I realised that the guards have nowhere to gather/sleep or whatnot when not walking around. Which they do all the time, since it's a game, but still. I gave them a guard tower with some bedrolls... And then I realised that Narfi (and his dead sister - no wonder she drowned) has no way of getting from their house to the rest of the village without going through the stream, so I added a small bridge. And then I started wondering where Temba slept. Turns out 4 people sleep at the inn and one regularly visits (when he's not walking about on the 7000 steps and wondering what the plaques say) and there are exactly 4 beds and a bedroll at the inn. Seems a bit insufficient if actual travelers come by, doesn't it? So I added a basement...

And well... Apart from adding an NPC I haven't yet thought of a name for (the merchant) I guess it's mostly setting all the furniture and clutter straight, navmeshing, checking light bulbs and such... I don't intend to add anything more major. Hopefully.

I often wish my grasp of American geography was better whilst driving around in The Crew.
"Travel to Kansas to..."
Oh, where's Kansas again?
*opens up map*
*zooms out*
Kansas??
Is it in the North, or the West or...

Anyway much later on (long after finding Kansas) I managed to find a shuttle!
 
There are two and I stopped what I was doing to get plenty of screenshots.
Then twenty minutes later after arriving in Miami I got the instruction to go and find the shuttle near New Orleans.
*turns bike around*

It wasn't even a great reward after all that.

But ignore my petulant emojis, I enjoyed it all really.

Well? Where IS Kansas???

I still don't know.

I sort of went to Chicago (wherever that is) and kept going in ..erm... that direction for a bit longer.

tsk... should've just followed that tornado...

It's the rectangular one pretty much right in the centre of the US. 

Oh. There's a rectangle?

It's South Westish of Chicago 

I guess that explains how Val passed Chicago on the way over...
