The Rigmor mods are by far the best and most emotionally involving experiences I have had in over 50 years of being a gaming nut! They have opened up a whole new world of canon interpretation and therefore lore and therefore Fanlore (or Headcanon or Fanart or whatever your favourite term is). Nobody on Nirn respects the fact TDB saves their very existence on several occasions. The rudeness of Imperial Guards after the civil war is another example despite TDB (The Dragonborn) reaching the rank of legate. He never mentions it even after you have joined them. Eorland Gray-Mane never thanks you or treats you with any respect or shows any recognition that you rescued his son when you ask him about “The Companions”. A classic example in Skyrim is freeing Thorald Gray-Mane from his Thalmor jailers at Northwatch Keep. To make a game like Skyrim seem as open as it is and to give the player a sense of freedom of choice some “if-then-else” logic is applied but nowhere near the amount necessary to cover every situation. That requires a lot of “if-then-else” logic. The difficulty with such games is cohesively tying together each action you choose with appropriate responses from NPCs you encounter. Skyrim is of the game genre “action role-playing game” or more precisely a sub-genre known as “action-adventure”. Take a look at how the definition of “Dragonborn” changed between Skyrim and earlier Elder Scroll games for an example of changing and contradictory canon. The canon is loose enough, and on many occasions so contradictory that re-interpretation is not only valid, it is necessary. If you are one of them, then do us both a favour and move on.
They often make disparaging comments online even when discussing the most popular and critically acclaimed mods.

They will argue with mod developers from an imaginary level of superiority. Some aficionados believe they know the canon as well as the writers and developers. I will refer to The Dragonborn as a male as that is his gender in this journal. The events in the two best mods I have ever played for any game, “Rigmor Of Bruma” and “Rigmor Of Cyrodiil”, have influenced my choice of canon. These journals are my interpretation of the lore with some personal choices made on which canon to believe.
With the addition of spin-off games, DLCs and an online world, The Elder Scrolls universe has become rich in lore and canon.

The game’s full title, “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” tells you it is the 5th game in the Elder Scroll Series. More than seven years after its release the mod community keeps adding to the game and has made its replay value second to none. It won many “Game of The Year” awards from the primary game sites and magazines. After its release on the 11th November 2011 it broke many records for total purchases and downloads. Skyrim is one of the most popular games ever. In short, the New Journal entries will differ by a small to large amount from those in the Old Journal. The proposed changes for the RoC Reboot and those already in the RoB Reboot make it impossible for me to change a few words and reuse old journal entries. His relationship with Rigmor and how that develops is also different. The relationship between Wulf, my Dragonborn, and The Divines develops differently in the updated mods. The New Journals cover the RoB Reboot, RoC Reboot and the Rigmor of Tamriel mods. The same as the first RoB and RoC mods were learning experiences for Jim, the mod author. I regard the Old Journal as a chance to hone my style and skills. They are worth reading if you are familiar with those mods. The Old Journal covers the original Rigmor of Bruma (RoB) and Rigmor of Cyrodiil (RoC) mods. For the New Journals, I will say the mod(s) and quest(s) used. In the Old Journal, I never mentioned the mods or quests involved in a particular entry. Warning! This work of fiction includes spoilers for Rigmor and other mods.
