-If quests glitch will try to go back to previous save and fix. If still glitched will continue without quest if possible

-Will play on normal, but if unable to complete quests due to difficulty will reduce to very easy

-Mods, food, and chems can be either crafted, bought, or found

-Will probably stream some, but not all, of the gameplay

-Will try to upload one video per day, probably about 1 hour long each

FAQs
-Why do this?
I have played through this game at least 20 times and have still not seen all the game has to offer. So this challenge has been developing in my mind for several months due to a desire to experience as close to 100% of the game as possible with one character. Most 100% runs involve merely completing most quests, DLCs, and collecting the bobbleheads and magazines. That just didn't seem enough to me.

-Why peaceful endings?
There is no way to complete every quest in the game in one sitting. The peaceful endings of the main storyline and DLC stories allow the character to play through the most faction side and radiant quests.

-Why not use mods?
I seriously considered using mods. There are two mods that specifically would help prevent me from getting a migraine due to game elements. However, as I planned this challenge I realized that parts of the series would be off air (especially the cataloguing of items in the spreadsheet I created.) I didn't want anyone to be able to come back and say I cheated in items off the air. The only way to prove this would be to never use a mod with this save file since by doing so the file would be marked as modded.

-Why on normal?
I always play the game on very easy. Playing on normal will be a big challenge for me. If someone else wants to do this challenge on survival they are free to do so, but that is not for me, not now anyways.

-Why on Xbox One?
I have the game on all available systems and have gotten all the achievements so far on each. I chose the Xbox for this series mainly because I had the fewest game breaking glitches with it. It also helps that the way I record it would be more reliable and produce better quality video than with the PC version.

-What if it is a terrible failure?
I will likely start over if the failure is due to a corrupt save or a game breaking glitch. If it's because I missed some quests or items and am unable to obtain them anymore, I probably will let it slide unless I am totally unhappy with the series and want to try again.

My Thoughts on the Hobby Lobby Ruling

Yesterday the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. The internet immediately exploded with liberals and feminists claiming this ruling was anti-woman. Indeed, you would think the ruling was the cause of the downfall of society.

I have news for you: it isn't. Couples are still getting married. Babies are still being born. Life is going on as usual.

Here are some important thoughts from my brain on the ruling:

1. The case is basically one of religious freedom. If I start a company and want it run based on my religious beliefs the government has no right to step in and interfere with the practice of those beliefs. Would it be okay for a Jewish faith based organization to be forced by the government to provide ham lunches for employees just because non-Jewish employees think they have a right to it? Absolutely not! Those employees can buy their own lunches.

2.  Birth control is still available to those who want it throughout the country. Even women who work at Hobby Lobby have access to birth control. Depending on the type, Hobby Lobby may or may not cover it, but women still have the ability to BUY IT THEMSELVES. The ruling was NOT a ban on birth control, so stop acting like it was.

3. Just as before this ruling, women can choose to NOT work at companies that don't support their own beliefs. For goodness sake, if you work at Hobby Lobby and you are not happy there then find a job somewhere else! If you want better insurance coverage by an employer then find a job that provides it!

4. If you are trying to explain to others why you think the ruling is unfair and use use name-calling, insults, and swearing to do so, you will convince no one. In fact the opposite is true; you will appear to be unreasonable, selfish, and negative. Other people will not care what you think if you are yelling 4-letter-words at them.

5. If this ruling, or any other thing going on in the world, causes you to lose your faith in society, it is up to you to restore it and make the world a better place. The best way to do this is by living an honorable life and being a good example to others by what you do and your positive outlook.

My Theory on Doctor Who and The Valeyard

When I watched the season 7 finale of Doctor Who I was confused. I had never heard of the side of the Doctor, now being personified by the actor John Hurt, called The Valeyard. My son tried to explain it to me and found a wiki description for me. It stated:

The Valeyard was similar to several of the Doctor's incarnations, cunning and verbal, with a knack for manipulation. He had a bit of a temper, and was prone to outbursts, but generally calm and collected, traits of several incarnations of the Doctor. However, his actions were constantly defined by his egotism. The Valeyard would risk or sacrifice anything to ensure his own existence, even break the Laws of Time and kill his own past self and try to control the Dark Matrix despite the dangers its presence would pose to established history. (TV: The Mysterious Planet, The Ultimate Foe, PROSE: Matrix)

Suddenly it all made sense to me. The Valeyard is simply the incarnation of the Doctor that is trying desperately to hold on to life. I remembered this Doctor Who Interview in which the new idea of unlimited regenerations for the Doctor is discussed. Putting 2 and 2 together I came up with the following scenario and told my son about it.

Since John Hurt is an older individual, and they obviously would not reveal him as the Valeyard/Doctor without his actually being able to play him soon for age reasons, Matt Smith has decided his tenure as Doctor will end soon. The next regeneration will be the John Hurt Doctor. As the Valeyard he will cunningly try to do all he can to bypass the time lord's regeneration limit, and he will succeed at a price. The price will be his own end I.e. The Valeyard/Doctor must die/regenerate in order to have the unlimited regenerations problem solved. Since John Hurt is also a big name actor I am guessing that the BBC cannot afford to pay for him to be the Doctor for more than one season. Therefore the Doctor following John Hurt will be known within a year.

I know I'm onto something because my son immediately told me to shut up. He hates it when I'm right. Now that we all know that Matt Smith is leaving the role by the end of the year I know at least part of my theory is correct. What do you think?
