Dave the Argonian

Dave was a simple Argonian dock worker. Where will his life take him? Will he spend his whole life in Windhelm, or will the vast lands of Skyrim and beyond beckon him to great feats and incredible adventures? You decide! Each week, readers will be given options to vote on as to what Dave will do next or where he will go next. The option with the most votes will be the direction Dave goes. I'm even willing to accept options that don't match with what is currently happening in the story, assuming enough people vote for those options. You decide what will happen to Dave; I am but the story teller.

I’m really good at procrastinating...sorry...

My school lies on the cusp of finals week, and I find myself preoccupied in a flurry of projects and assignments that I could have done weeks ago, yet did not. To, my loyal readers, I apologize once more. I have more week of this chaos, and then I shall be home free. So, I am afraid I will not be able to make the new post this week, nor will I be able to make it next week. I may find time to make a couple of short gag posts, but not one for the full story yet. Do not fear; I shall make the next story post on 31st of this month and not one day later. I will understand if you give up on me and leave, but know...know that I will never give up on you. That Dave will continue on, even without you here, on to new adventures and discoveries. Carry on my wayward son! (drives off in a Chevy Impala).

I am very sorry it has taken me so long to get this next post out to you all! Things have been very busy for me the last couple of weeks, but I am determined to get back into the regular swing of things going forward! As always, you have until this coming Sunday to make your votes, and I will make the next post next Tuesday. Again, I apologize, and thank you all for your patience. I hope to continue to make it worth your while.

To my avid readers (and the new ones too)

I normally try to update every tuesday, and close the voting every sunday, so that i have a couple days to work on the next leg, while still give you, the readers, a chance to vote on what you decide to happen next. This last weekend, I found myself to be particularly preoccupied, and I have been especially busy this last week. As such, I’m allowing voting to continue on until this next sunday and will make the new post on this following tuesday. I apologize for putting this off for so long. As I said, I have been busy, but i shall strive to prevent this from occurring again going forward. I apologize once more, and I do hope that you will be understanding and patient with me. And as always, thanks for reading and for voting. I’ve greatly enjoyed all of this. :)

Is the adventure over? Or has it only just begun? Can Dave ever truly return to the life he once lived after so much has happened to him? Choose his path, dear readers, and watch the tales unfold as we continue the adventures of Dave the Argonian

Also, side-note, to those of you that voted for him to enter the college, they really did turn him away at the gate. I didn’t make that up. Dave is gonna need to learn some magic before they’ll let him in.

I have failed you.

So sorry, but the next Dave post is gonna have to wait till tomorrow. I’m putting a lot more into this next branch, and I want to make sure I do it right, and with that and some extra stuff I’ve had to do today, I just won’t be able to finish today. I am so sorry. But hopefully what I have for you tomorrow will make up for the delay.

Dave heard several rumors while in the inn, though most of which he didn’t fully understand at the time. There was one about a college for mages that was accepting applicants, and another talking about a dragon attacking a town called Helgen. Plus another strange rumor about a young boy asking for someone to be killed. Where should Dave go? Should he follow up on these rumors, or find his way back home at long last? Vote for the best path you want!

Also, in case you didn’t notice, Dave actually went up two levels, so I increased his stamina, then put a perk into speech and stealth, because those two were the skills with the highest votes.

[davetheargonian-blog]

Dave has gained a level! For this next vote, you must choose two things; whether to increase his health, magicka, or stamina, and which of the many different skill trees he should put a perk in to. I use a modded version of skyrim, so some of the skill sets are a little different. For that reason, and because not everyone plays skyrim, I will list the possible skill trees down below before giving you the voting box. Choose wisely! What the majority votes for will dictate who Dave becomes in the future, and will possibly alter certain aspects of the story as we progress.

The skills are; Stealth (being sneaky), Dexterity (pick-pocketing and lock-picking), Light weapons (one-handed stuff), heavy weapons (two handed stuff), archery (bows and arrows and crossbows, oh my!), light armor (like.....not heavy.....), heavy armor (you’re basically a walking wall), smithing (making stuff with your hands), enchanting (making stuff with magic), wayfarer (good with animals and tracking and stuff), speech (makes you better at talking people into stuff), alchemy (poisons and potions (do NOT mix those up!)), blocking (using shields and such), destruction (fire, ice, and lightening at your finger tips), alteration (make the world the way you want it), illusion (make people think the world is the way you want it), restoration (healing), conjuration (ghost weapons, ghost people, and beings from other worlds).

Voting issues

Someone messaged me today saying they were having trouble voting using the link at the top of the page. If anyone else has had trouble as well, I apologize. I’m new to this tumblr stuff and I’m still trying to learn what will be the most effective way of doing this. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to comment on this post or send me a message or something, and in the mean time, you can vote by reblog or by messenger. I’ll accept the votes in any way you can manage to get them to me until I’m able to come up with a better method. Thanks for your understanding!

update: If you look at the bottom of the pictures, you will see a nice, new voting spot. :) I’m still working out the kinks, and the thing won’t work if you are on the mobile app, so if that isn’t working for you, I’ll still accept votes from messenger or reblogging, and of course the link at the top of the page that says “What should Dave do next?” Thanks again for your patience guys!

[davetheargonian-blog]

What happens next? You decide! Get your votes in by 10 pm PST on March 27, and I will (hopefully) post the leg of the adventure you decided on next Tuesday, March 29th. Let the adventures of Dave begin!
