About this image

In all of the years I have played Requiem, this is the first time I have made it to the mountain top. I am still playing Gyllena without shouts and she is not the Dragonborn, but I am doing the main quest to keep the story going. I just pretend I am helping the Dragonborn out here and there and then go back to doing my own thing. I think I am at 120 hours on this save so far, level 47 and still dying a lot.

    Great shot and congrats on reaching the top finally. You like a challenge from what I've seen. Me, not so much--I get way too frustrated being killed over and over again.

      Thank you Pat. Playing with Gyllena is extra tough with all of her roleplay restrictions. I honestly didn't realize how tough it would be until I got to about level 25. Playing as the Dragonborn and using a bow helps a ton. Gyllena does neither.

    Sounds tough...very tough! Just curious, what are some of Gyllena's main skills by the way?

      Two handed axe, light armor, alchemy, smithing and she wants to learn more about all types of magic except Conjuration. She does not like the idea of force controlling any entity or soul trapping. Destruction and Restoration have some special interest to her because of healing and ranged attacks without the need to carry a cumbersome bow and ammo. Shes kind of a "jack of all trades" and that has caused her to need more levels to become effective.

      I know you like the details Here's a link to her story/background. I play her that way. Gyllena

      I enjoyed her story very much, Patrick! Thank you for giving me the link to her backstory. I left a comment on that image/narrative as well.

      I really do enjoy playing her even though it can be tough sometimes with the way I decided she would be. No bow! No shouts! No conjuration! Really fun though. Thank you Heike.

      This is indeed a very hard way you have chosen for her ... I like it more light

    The main storyline can feel cumbersome at some point, but when you complete it, it feels quite rewarding

    Good luck

      Thank you Will. I think I have only fought Alduin once or twice and both were before Requiem.

      Thank you Izzy. I plan to attempt to kill Alduin, but I don't know if it's possible without dragon rend.

      Thank you Erwin. It would be a lot easier if I played her as the Dragonborn and used the shouts. And a few other quirks of hers, but that's why it's still a real challenge.

      Thank you very much Jonathan. It's usually some major mod update that gets me to start over; surprisingly, all of the recent updates have been good for current game saves.
