I finally went into White March. At level 13, and with scaling turned off, it's actually almost too easy. Oh well. I'm still not going to fight the white dragon, so if I want to finish that quest, I'll have to get my attributes high enough for the conversation somehow.

I'm really liking the soul-bound items I find. Mostly because I like the idea of giving one to someone and having it upgrade by itself. Come to think of it, that makes me a bit apprehensive of the planned changes to crafting to encourage using different weapon. I prefer to have one weapon and stick with it. If I could get away with never changing my weapon and just upgrading it forever, I would.
