Technicalities

Hello again, my few blog followers.

In the hopes that the first post got you interested, I’m writing this second entry, which will mostly be about the slight differences between my story and Chris’ story. So, without further ado-

Adventuring: My grand goal of 49,000 Septims will be difficult to achieve through just picking apples and Aloe Vera leaves. Also, a nobleman must do SOME adventuring on his own, although not too much, since Grugzob gro-Boguk (Official name) doesn’t like to get his hands dirty. So expect him to peek into an old fort or alien ruin. However, since Grugzob isn’t the bravest of Orcs, he’ll probably run at the smallest sight of danger against himself.

Mugging: Grugzob has certain feral Orc tendencies… like bashing in the odd skull. So expect him to summon a scamp or two to rip up a beggar, or a thief, or someone, as these characters will appear due to my crowded cities mod.

 Travelling: My sub objective will be to buy the most expensive horse in Cyrodiil (Cheydinhal’s horses, methinks). Any proper nobleman NEEDS a horse, everyone knows that. So I’ll be doing that. Also, don’t expect Grugzob to be doing too much staying in one place, unless he really takes it to his liking, so yeah.

That’s pretty much the main differences, except for the fact that Grugzob’s adventure will be starting in Leyawiin…

Mais Ques’que c’est ca?

Hello.

That’s French for “But what is this”?, By The Way.

I assume that A lot of you have come from Christopher Livingston’s blog ‘livin’ in oblivion‘, which I must say, is awesome. So awesome, that, in fact it has inspired me, an average gamer, to make my own version.

As you have probably guessed from the title, my character will be an Orc. And not just any Orc, an Orcish Nobleman... Forced to start from the beginning in the vast world of Cyrodiil. Don’t expect much yet, as only tomorrow will I begin the process of mod downloading and character creating, so expect the first entry on Wednesday or Thursday.

I’m carrying over many of the rules and mods from Mr. Livingston’s blog, So, because I’m a lazy bastard, visit his Rules page and his Mods page. However, I am adding a mod of my own.

Even though my character is a nobleman, he’s still an Orc, and if he don’t bash skulls himself, he’s going to get someone to do it for him, so I’m going to be using the Crowded Cities mod, which basically adds a whole bunch of people randomly mulling about each one of the towns.

A large difference between the adventures (NAME) gro (SURNAME) and Nondrick P. Cairk’tir is that Nondrick started out in Anvil - Whereas (NAME) gro (SURNAME) will start out in Leyawiin. Since the Oblivion Modular enhanced mods’ main quest delayer plugin starts you in Anvil, I’ll have to break the ‘No Fast Travelling’ rule once to FT to the North East Gate of Lewayiin, where my boat has dropped me off.

Also, unlike Chris’ blog, mine has a set goal: For (NAME) gro (SURNAME) to restore his title of nobleman by buying Rosethorn Hall! This is the largest house for sale in all of Cyrodiil, costing a total for 49,000 Septims to purchase the home with all its’ upgrades.

However, If I see that I am too rapidly progressing towards my objective, I will change it to this one:

I must purchase EVERY home in Oblivion, complete with all the upgrades. I don’t think I’ll be changing to this one anytime soon.

And that’s all for today!
