We went to whiterun, and I sold my stuff, got Mjoll'S load, and sold that, sent her home, and rejoined Lydia, got her parcels, and then sold these. It all worked well.
But after just two days and nights of play, I have not seen much, mostly Whiterun and Rifton, and some of the icy North when doing the quest for Mjoll'S sword. Solitude I saw from a distance, Windhelm I bypassed during that quest, and Markath I have not even discovered so far. But many dungeons I stumbled over.

Tell me about it. I have been playing almost every day since before Christmas, sometimes for 24-36 hour stretches when not working. On my second character and I *still* have not completed the main quest. I know it's probably not true but I'm a little afraid that after it's done everything else will seem almost anticlimactic.
I think the thing with the followers and the encumbrance issue starts to be a problem if you acquire and dismiss them repeatedly and never remove/reset their inventory using the console, and the game resets their default inventory on acquisition enough times that they end up carrying a lot of weight you can't see. If you are using removeallitems on them as a matter of course in order to insure that they use only the weapons and armor you give them, it should never be a problem.
Actually I think the removeallitems console command probably works on any NPC, I may have to try it the next time I'm in Windhelm paying Ulfric a visit. Just as an experiment to see if it, you know, really works on everybody.
I'll give him his clothes back when I'm done, I promise. Altho I've heard that he pretty much just ignores you once the Civil War quest is over, so maybe making him walk around in his undies is the only joy I'll get from him from now on.
The quest for Mjoll - I've got it in my journal but haven't gone any farther than that. I don't know if the location is randomized or not but in my current game I think it's in some Dwarven ruin and I really hate those. OTOH, I've got the Muffle enchanted boots now and I've gotten pretty good at stealth attacks... it even makes fighting the Falmer less repugnant altho they still give me the creeps. But I cleared out the excavation and ruins under Markarth again, which was my *least* favorite place with my previous character, and it really wasn't too bad. About 90% of the Falmer we encountered never knew what hit them. (Hint: it was an arrow.)
