Day Three: Forging the Bonds of Love
Basically, this is a play-through of the PC game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but in a non-linear fashion. I am playing the game as if I was an average Nord, kind of like an NPC (Non Player Character) being thrown into the position of the Dragonborn, and I’m acting and reacting like a normal Nord would.

At 5am, my body clock goes off and I rise from bed. Just like yesterday, I walk out of my room to see Sven playing his… Drum? Well, it’s a pleasant change, that’s for sure!

I pick myself up some baked potatoes (they look like good breakfast food) and some cooked beef and grilled pheasant breast. The pheasant looks pleasant, and the beef looks neat. I try my hand at mixing some ingredients from yesterday, but unfortunately nothing I mix seems to create any potions. I feel kinda lousy, but I leave the inn to head over to see if Lucan is open yet.
