QuestsEdit

• Woodcutting

TriviaEdit

• In Norse myths, Hod was the brother of the most beautiful god, Balder, and son of the fertility god, Njord. Hod was blind, and was tricked by Loki, the god of mischief into shooting an arrow which killed Balder.
• If the Dragonborn is male, Hod may have dialog about Camilla's physical attributes. If the Dragonborn is female, Hod may have dialog admiring her attributes.
• If the Dragonborn chose to follow Ralof at the beginning of the game, he/she will inherit 100 upon the event of Hod's death, delivered via a Courier.

BugsEdit

•  PC   360   PS3  Hod never leaves his house, regardless of time of day. This is apparently triggered on the Dragonborn's first visit to the town, and lasts for the rest of the game.
  •  PC   360   PS3  Solution: Pick the lock, enter Hod and Gerdur's house then leave. Gerdur and Hod should follow the Dragonborn out of the house.
  •  PC   Solution: This is to open the console, clicking Hod, then typing disable then enable directly after. In many cases, this resets the character's AI.
  •  360   Solution: Activate the log pile in the mill and use the lever to activate the saw. Hod will suddenly appear leaning against the railing behind the Dragonborn.
