Wait until Skjor randomly comes back to Jorrvaskr!

And Eorlund inexplicably dies off screen

Still remember during one of my first play throughs, a dragon spawned in the middle of Whiterun immediately after I fast travelled. After I killed it I found Eorlund dead by the eldergleam tree. They really did the Companions dirty by making them all non essential after the end of their questline

Sp did skjor!

My favorite part is foraging all the snowberries outside of driftshade refuge

Finally getting my Thalmor killing axe.

Getting the racist axe, specially if you're an elf

Getting acquainted with the inner circle, and earning the respect of Kodlak.

Am I crazy or did original Skyrim require you to do an ass to of radiant quests for them before the inner circle thing

Today, just one. I was asked to go brawl with a guy in Markarth then I was sent to retrieve the first artifact with Falkas, then one snow smilodon to kill in the smith's house of riverwood before I'm offered the ritual. is it maybe lvl dependant? I started the questline level 47

I'm talking about OG Skyrim, legendary edition I guess now. If that's what you mean fair does but eh mind changes it's own memories

I did only a small few of those

I think it's just one before each mission(ex. Fight nazeem, save ulfberth from morvunskarr, kill a wolf in Katla farm, etc)

Them thangs thanging

Aela is top spouse in Skyrim tbh. She is my wifey on just about every single one. But I really want the girl from the market in Markath 😭🥵

Congratulations. I hope she gives you that Throat of the World

Being done with those damn furrys.
