  • The ores here last longer than the usual ones simply because I found it to be wasteful and considering  there’s only two corundum mines in Skyrim… I thought it’d be fun. See also: I never play a thief and want more ways to earn gold that won’t require me to steal

The Working People of Our Cities:

• The trash collectors
• The Water Plant Workers
• The Construction Crews
• And anyone else who does a job that we don’t remember to be thankful for

These are the people who work to keep the circulation of our cities and town moving. The stories you find in Settlements are the stories and lives of those I’ve met in my life transposed into Skyrim.
