The city looks great, you've got those classic "first time city" conversations that happen everywhere, and the city itself is laid out nicely. Eventually, I come up on Bruma, and enter the city. I ride around the map a bit, just checking out where the borders are, some of them being a bit frustrating when I can see a town and people in it that I can't visit, or a map marker for a cave I can't get to, and I run into one more random event where someone tries to shake me down for some gold. So what the hell was that? Was she just being attacked for no reason? Was it a random shakedown? I guess so? and besides a little reward for saving her, she doesn't talk. Protect the Herbalist, hop off my horse to talk to her. Alright, maybe this is a main quest hook. Alright, keep walking, here's a neat little Radiant event, a Herbalist is being attacked by some people called Cutters. The people inside just seem to hint "Hey, come back when more of Beyond Skyrim is done, then we'll have a greater purpose.". Obviously Bruma isn't all of Cyrodiil, but beyond a little worldbuilding, the location doesn't really do anything. I go inside, there seems to be a guild holed up in there, you can talk to them, but they just kinda seem like a stub. Spoiler: It isn't a main quest hook so, I move on from Fort Pale Pass, fight some Mountain Lions, that's kinda neat, and I stumble upon Frostcrag Spire. Cool, that might be a main quest hook for Bruma. Alright, fine, I finish the quest, and he gets taken off by some Penitus Oculatus agents. No one mentions it, and I'm not talking about it to anyone else. Talking to the Stormcloak, I can't say anything like "The Battleaxe on my back was covered in Ulfric's blood a few days ago", I seem to have forgotten that and my service to the Legion. They have a quest for me, alright I need to interrogate. and no one seems to know that I'm a Legate, they're all treating me like a random civilian. First thing I encounter is Fort Pale Pass, garrisoned with Legion soldiers. I get to the gate, talk to the gate guard, tell him I'm the Dragonborn, he lets me through. I looked around the map and noticed the Pale Pass marker in the South. Maybe this is because I used Alt Start, I've seen things that suggest one exists, unless that isn't what I think it is, but missing it because of Alt Start seems off to me. I was Level 25 at this point, and sort of thought there would be something like a courier letter or a random event to send me towards Bruma. I started the Skyrim main quest, finished the Companions questline, finished the Civil War questline on the side of the Legion, and waited around for a couple days in game, crafting and leveling with some trainers. I was really excited to try the mod, I built a new modlist, and started a new character in SSE. I've decided to make this a self-post, rather than just a comment on the daily thread.
