From The Archives The Original Salaryn's Sword

 


 I found some posts from my original Sword blog on an old storage device.  Looking at the dates, I realize that Salaryn's Sword was actually my first blog.  I started a more general blog in early 2008, and it still lives, but the Sword came first.

I'm not sure I like the need to repair weapons and disassemble and reassemble them into new ones, but the concept seems from familiar from some other game I can't recall. The lead dev is the guy who did the Dark Brotherhood quests for Oblivion, I'm reminded by this article. Since I only play the good guy, I haven't done those so...this Emil guy looks all sweet and cheery in his pictures but...tsk. No other articles really of interest to moi in this one.


Secret World Legends Uniforms, Codes and EMPs

 Pfft.  I had so many odd issues trying to complete this mission.  Getting the uniform on is no small task.  Even when you do get it, it tur...
