2.1 Riverwood




After spending some time in Riverwood, I learned about several topics some of them are within the town and some involves Skyrim as a whole. The information I gained during my time in Riverwood was through observation and interaction between certain villagers. When I first stepped into Riverwood I immediately formed that idea that this is a small village with mining as the main profession of the village, but little did I know that the village was a lumber mill.


Most of the information I gathered about the village was through talking to other villagers and asking them some questions .when I approach one of the villagers and try to talk to them a list of options drops so I conclude that they are interested in talking to me. I feel that sometimes that list limits the question I could ask to a certain character. For example, interactions rarely show an option where I could ask them about who he is and information related to the character I am talking to. However these option have been quite informative in terms of the broader scope of knowledge. Of all the villagers the bartender Orgnar was the most informative because apparently he interacts with most of the villagers with his position as supply provider. I came to that conclusion because he is aware of the love triangle between Sven, Faendal, and Camilla and he was also aware of the robbery that occurred at trade store.



The most valuable information in terms of Skyrim as a whole was from Gredur because she sort of explained some of the major events going on in Skyrim. The most interesting information was about Ulfric the kings slayer it was interesting how he got that title and Gredur shared with me the story were he the high king Torygg to a duel were he won. Gredur also, explained why she is on the side of the Storm clocks by saying that the imperials were good in the past but they are no longer and it is time for change. 



Here is an interesting song that captures Sven hatred towards Storm Clocks even though Gredur is the lumber mill owner and her brother which is a supporter of the Storm Clocks live in the same village

  1. It seems like you spent a good amount of time in Riverwood. You got lots of important information from the villagers that I hadn't learned. I really like how you incorporate pictures into your blog it helps me visualize what you were doing in Riverwood.

  2. You were very thorough with you time in Riverwood! I really liked how you talked about different key pieces of information you learned and in what way they were useful to you. You found information that was most useful, provided background knowledge, and most interesting to you, all types of information that should be included within a non-digital text. I also liked how you analyzed your resources of your information Saying the bar tender was the most helpful because he knew about multiple events in the village tells you they could be a good resources in other towns you visit.
