If it keeps my interest, I will write up a second journal. There is a lot to tell. I think the first run through I found the Cumans (bad guys) so bloody hard I gave up.
This time, it was several sparring sessions with the Captain before I did that main quest.., and they fell easily.
I played an expansion to Skyrim once that was like that, the difficulty was so amped up that i had to put it down and come back to it some time later.
I will keep all your tips in mind!
