My head-cannon is that Douglas happens to be the Dragonborn's doppelganger, so people keep confusing Douglas for a legendary hero and he's like "Guys, I ONLY cut wood. Well, and that one guy in Whiterun... but it was self defense!"

Douglas has certainly crossed a line now. Robbing the dead was already bad enough, but this... Self-defense or not, killing a man is something he can never come back from. Now he has a choice to make. Will he try and set things right, trying to redeem himself somehow for the rest of his life? Or will he continue to justify his actions and continue even deeper into the darkness?

I like to think that at first Sigurd saw you on his chopping block, calmly accepted it and went to the one by the Bannered Mare. But after hours of hearing the shopkeepers say the same thing over and over again he couldn't take it anymore and went back to his and pushed you out of it. And then you pushed him out of it and called his mother a horker and he had enough. But damn, i didn't expect him to pull out the shiv.

The tale of Douglas ultimately seems like s cautionary one - how the myth of the "self-made, rags-to-riches" man ultimately corrupts even the most well-intentioned people. Starting with nothing, Douglas just wants to work hard and earn his place, but ultimately he can't avoid compromising on his morals... One has to wonder, would the man he was when he first arrived in Riverwood even recognize the man he is now?

Its crazy to think that Brenuin just goes around begging while you just pick up an axe and start chopping for hours to sell it to the Bannered Mare. He could easily earn enough to buy himself some decent clothes. Also side note: you could cut next to the market and lower the volume of voices to role play zoning out the noise

Loved the episode. When you said you were going to Whiterun, I was worried about trouble with Sigurd, because he does monopolize that chopping block. I didn’t expect what we got though. I agree with you that Douglas should stay away from Whiterun hold for a long time. I would like to remind you that if you need another cash injection for the mill in the future, you can go work at half-moon mill in Falkreath hold. Also, you really need a waterskin, and because Whiterun and Riverwood are not safe for you, while Falkreath I think lacks a general store, you might need to go to Markarth or Riften for it. Or I guess you could maybe make one on your own. Anyway, I’m kind of rambling but I also want to say I love this series, and I also have been going through a couple of your old series after discovering your channel a couple days ago and I’m loving everything I see. Keep up the great work.
