Hm, It would definitely feel weird to play somebody else's character, not knowing his playstyle or his playing history, but then again, that might be the charm
We could compare our outcomes.
Tell me, but only if it's not too bothersome, what mods are you using?
p.s. Despite my profile stating "Rhodok" I usually tend to side with the Nords, and like to think my vanilla character has Nordic origins
If you want i have no probs at all. I can send you the save game if you're up to it. Let me take you back to Jarl Celian's origins. (Yeah he's called Celian).
Celian has always been someone in my own head, which means that Celian is already a complex persona. He's fiercly loyal to King Ragnar and he believes in the power of justice, world balance and protecting his family and his closest friends. He can't stand betrayal, which means that everytime someone turns khergit, Jarl Celian goes looking for that traitor. His father-in-law is Jarl Reamald, and Celian is highly loyal to him too. He's probably the only one that Celian actually bothers to save from being held at a castle/town.
Although Celian was at first a freelancer warrior, he was always helping the nords, like villagers, caravans, town masters, lords, the king, etc. Until one day he actually got invited to be a part of this awesome kingdom. He became a lord, and a few months later, after doing so much for the nords, he got his first invitation to become the marshall, and so he did, he fought, and fought, and defended, and fought again. He led the nords to victory against the swadians, the sarranids, the vaegirs and the rhodoks. (This doesn't mean that the nords did all the work, the khergits have always been a strong force in calradia) Now, the final battle has started, 10 rounds of war have already passed, now the khergits and the nords are in round 11. Everytime there is an election for the marshalship, Jarl Celian get's invited, but he always refuses (since the final battle) because he has a lot to do for himself, like take care of his wife, Lady Thera, take care of his fiefs, Wercheg, Yalen, Khudan, Praven, Chalbek Castle, Fearichen (which is his favourite fief) and odasan. Celian, carries an 'army' of 160 men, vaegir and swadian knights, mercenary cavalry, mamlukes, khergit lancers, all mounted units. It seems like having an army like this is the only way to get out always on top of the battles.
I'm sure i could write a lot more, maybe an aar, but i'm a bit lazy right now, so.. Oh i forgot, Celian picked up 3 companions when he first entered Calradia. Rolf, Nizar and Lezalit.
"Rolf is a major master freaking super brave fighter, i mean he has the house of Rolf complex but that is gone now i think, one time i saw him going down the hill with about 5 soldiers (rhodok spearmen i think) and i thought damn, now i have to go and help him, but i was surrounded myself so i couldn't, but, the next thing i know, is me watching the messages about - "Rhodok spearman killed by Rolf" - This message poped up a bunch of times and then i see the guy coming up the hill, no shield, only his morning star, filled with blood and then he came to help me. Man i was proud of him that day. If i could recommend him to King Ragnar to make him his vassal that would be super cool.
Lezalit is something else, i mean the dude is just crazy, he doesn't know the word "Fear" and he doesn't drop back. During sieges (when i'm defending something), he's there at the stair end waiting for them to come with his war cleaver and he just slashes them in pieces, man he's young and a crazy bastard.
And finally nizar, who is fast, accurate with his javelins (every companion of mine has a bag of those) and he knows when to raise his shield and when to attack, he's the one i love having in the front line fighting off rhodok seargents (i'm in the middle of a massive war between the Nords and the Rhodoks). He doesn't care if the enemy is wearing a metal helmet, if it's a head and it's still alive he hits it like a lion (his weapon is the same as the vaegir knights, which i don't remember the name)."
(This above was taken from another reply of mine in another post)
PM me so i can send you the save game file. And if you want to know anything else, just ask dood.
EDIT: Using diplomacy + PBOD.
