    I do this thing where I check the percentages of likes to views. Can't help rooting for my favs. I find it hard to believe it is under
    10% for this episode. It has everything; pathos, humor, witty dialog, and pretty darn great pictures. Whether one has followed
    along from the start, or just stumbled upon it, doesn't matter. It works as well as a stand-alone piece, as it does part of the whole.

      Sometimes people happen by and see the cover picture and look at it while at the same time not really interested in the content. I have found that an 'attractive' cover shot pulls more people in. for example, the one early on when she is topless with her back to the camera pulled in over 400 with no trouble at all, but had 16 endorsements. So far (I've not checked for a while) the most endorsed ones are Call to the North and Goodbye My Friend. The latter is the most poignant one and to my mind deserves it.

      So to pull more people in I now tend to select the most eye-catching 'attractive' shot of the set and hope more people will fall in love with Freyda and/or her story.

    I like the candlescene. Loyality at it's best.
    My own (background)stories have often lead me to the halls of the dead, to honor my ancestors. It gives me a nice reason to be in Skyrim

      I thought up that sort of shot a few days ago and wanted to include it in an episode, and it led Freyda into helping the priest as a small side quest, of course. Freyda is the kind of character who has a big heart and she will always have a place in it for Lydia.

      Doesn't hurt to include these small humanity pieces in the overall storyline of Skyrim.

    First I have to say, that I like Freyda´s idea to light up a candle for the lost friend ... Hall of Death is one of my favourite locations for the nice lightening there. I realy like your storytelling around this location

      Yes, its all too easy to forget a follower who falls in Skyrim, as you can get another easily enough. But Freyda would not be the kind of person to forget. So she lights a candle in memory of their friendship.

      Thank you for your kind words, too.

    Fashion > Saving The World. After all, there's no point in saving the world if you can't look fabulous while doing it? The Hero can't look like a beggar, the bards can't sing of that, oh no!

    Also, I like the priest's stare at the end. He looks like he can't decide between laughing and sighing in exasperation.

      There, you've got it! Freyda has to have style, panache. Aye, the priest has the look of a fanatic - or he's had one too many.

    Very touching, and nicely balanced by Freyda's repartee. I'm sure Ceri is thoroughly confused trying to read her charge,
    and is probably wishing she'd stayed at home.

      Indeed, it is always difficult for one who is serious to try to understand someone who has a strong streak of rebelliousness in them

      And a bit of humor too.

      oh yes, sometimes humour is lost on certain people.

    Had to look this one up, won't spoil it for those that don't.
