I'm running a mod that lets you play as any creature in the game. This run I'm a snapjaw brute, a low-level creature that's not much of a threat to anyone.

It's a very difficult start, because you don't even get a waterskin. I was fortunate enough to find a ruin just one parasang away from the starter village, so I sold a couple of the books for a hundred drams of water and a skin. I hate selling books, but it was enough to get me started.

I'm also running a mod that lets me change the appearance of myself and my followers at a gutsmonger. I gave everyone a dye-job so that I can tell them apart.
