Don't touch it! The color is perfect for her. The reddish color really goes well with her eyes, and compliments her fur color fabulously.


The new vid with Vilja as wonderful! What fun she looks to be. And another visit to that wonderfuful Aleswell Cottage. I really enjoyed this vid!

I love Aravi's hair color as it is, but you can go into that on the console and check out different hair colors and styles - if you find anything you like just save and reload (don't click 'done' !!!).


I think she looks cute and the red hair suits her nicely.


Make the vids you like to make, I enjoy both her adventure ones and these quiet ones too. - it is like seeing Aravi in total, (not just the fighter but the person she is at home with Vilja).

I enjoy these vids a lot, and the screens too. You have such a knack with the camera that you make it look like it should be easy to do. It is NOT easy at all (as I found out, lol), which shows how much talent you have.

The smooth junctures overall - I don't know how you do that !! I finally edited a screenie in those places and put titles on it to keep from having a jarring change - but even in the battle scenes you never had any jarring changes !! You have a real knack for doing these !!


** I loved this vid, the author could use this as an example of Vilja's personality and sayings - telling Aravi she worried about her, complaining about the mess and asking Aravi to hire a maid !!! ROFL !!! Oh, and the sweetrolls - I read that in the read-me and determined when I load that mod to start carrying them around, lol.

It still looks to me like she took the bigger bed, (I thought that was really funny !!!) - but for her to get up and sweep - that was cool, especially since she complained the whole time she did it !!!

Ha ha! Ok I won't! Hands are off!



Since it seems to be the general consensus that the red hair is great I will not change it.
Thank you for the compliments, I must be doing something right

You are correct, she did take the larger bed. Typical Vilja.

Ok this is a new quest mod that I downloaded. It's called Vampire Hunting – Order of the Virtuous Blood Expanded. It's a compilation of several mods that make the Order just a bit more involved.

The mission:

The first video is traveling to Cheydinhal to get some rooms to stay at. Not much action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB3HyBgKk6Y
APPROX TIME: 8.7 mins
The second video is heading out to look for the vampires. Not much action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifwXXbO727U
APPROX TIME: 1.93 mins
Final video is the fight. Action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlAebYy338Y
APPROX TIME: 12.6 mins

I really enjoyed being in town and traveling with Vilja again. And a highwayman attack! Why are they all Khajiit?

Barren Cave has those beautiful waterfalls. How could Aravi possibly pass them by without a swim?

The vampire mod looks like it is working well and seems fun. I like fighting vampires because they are tough and come in lots of flavors (archer, warrior, battlemage, etc). Aravi and Vilja are fighting very well together.

I like those little sceptor/torch things they walked home with. I wonder what that dream means?

I am so excited about seeing this series as Aravi goes through this mod !!! But I sure am worried about those nightmares !!!

I wonder if there is a mod that adds other races to the highwaymen. It kind of bothers me that most khajiit are portrayed as bandits and other criminals. Oh Aravi thought about a swim but she wanted to get to Cheydinhal before dark so that she could get a room rented.


They are pretty scary. Everyone knows what those mean.
--------------------------------

I know this is very quick for an update but the subject is very closely related to the last update. I'm not trying to rush you all, so I'll not update for a few days after this one.
No combat again.

Vampire hunting mod content.

This last vid is a very powerful statement to Aravi's worry over what those nightmares could mean. The frequent checking of her "active effects," eating the mandrake root for healing, getting the healing cleansing from that device that is like those in the chapels - bathing; these are such realistic reactions and demonstrations of how concerned she is over those nightmares.

The last scene where she stands looking out over the Rumare was poignant and profound, especially when she turns to face the sun, almost as if testing to see if its rays will burn her skin.

I love all your vids, all are interesting and well done - but I think this one has a powerful impact, and I have to say it is one of my absolute faves. Aravi's fear and worry is tangibly displayed and bleeds through to the viewer, leaving us with the same feeling of dread she is experiencing. AWESOME VID !!! And BRAVO for capturing such an emotional scene so clearly !!!

Those vampires were certainly tough. Especially that one with the uber-flame dagger! Aravi should have used that against the other vampires instead of her sword. Vampires have a weakness to flame, and it did 20pts of fire per hit.

That Ayleid Bow of Fracturing looks neat. What mod is that from?

Interesting storyline in the quest, with the differing vampire factions not getting along.

Did that last message when Aravi woke up say that she was hungry, or hungry for blood!

I loved this one! mALX summed it up perfectly! Gulp, now I'm scared for Aravi.

Thank you very much. That was exactly what I was trying to do, I'm glad it turned out well.



Yeah she should have used that dagger. I'm not sure why we didn't... Oh well!

The bow was added by Francesco's mod.

Lol! She woke up without vampire active effects so I'm going to say just regular food!



Thanks! I'm glad you think so as well!

More Vampire hunting mod content and Vilja!

The actual quest was going around town to look for people to join the Order and that turned out to be a very boring video. So instead I'll just show you these screens and post a scene of Aravi and Vilja in the market district during the quest.

Aravi spent most of the day walking around town. Nobody was interested in joining. Except an ex guard captain in prison. Aravi has to go back and talk to him later to see if he's made up his mind about joining (and how he's getting out of prison).

Like I said before, this is just Aravi and Vilja.

ROFL !!! Ok, first. Let me go ask Jakben, Earl of Imbel if he will donate to my vampire hunters ... or maybe join our order! We have lost our resident vampire... ROFL !!

Then Vilja - she was a bit insulting today, turning even her compliments into back-handed slaps, lol. She had me rolling with her smart aleck comments! Did Aravi make her mad? If you ever decide to tell her you don't like her as a companion, better hope you have saved first in case you want to reload something, ROFL !!! (and PLEASE record it for us !!!!)

Next - Dear gods !!! No wonder you are named King Coin !!! What a bank balance !!! I would love to have a bank in my game, if you want to share the name of the mod - but I doubt my balance will ever reach that high, lol.

I have to say, I loved this vid from beginning to end !!! AWESOME VID !!!!

So Vilja likes Aravi's company too, even though she needs a bath! Now I see, Aravi is Vilja's sugar momma! "Sure give me some gold..." I can see why too! Aravi has more money than Croesus!

Her remark about the mattresses that can walk away by themselves was priceless!

Wait, blue suede shoes with a red velvet outfit? Better send her back to the store!

Vilja is hilarious in this one!! She’s probably right about the mattresses. Wouldn’t want to cast “detect life” and then look at the bed!

EW! Like those shows that reveal what is REALLY on hotel sheets ... GAAAAH!

So Vilja finally got her book! Oooh! And clocks and banks! As ever, I love the interaction with Vilja. Great fun!

Lol yeah, we need another vampire!

I was not happy with Vilja that day. She seems to be moody at times… no more comments on that.

On my Xbox games I always had lots more money than that. Probably because there wasn’t much to do but raid dungeons.



She didn’t need a bath though! That’s was ticked me off! This was recorded right after the Bad Dreams video at the end of which she took a bath.

And Aravi has money to throw around so it really isn’t a big deal if Vilja spends 300 on some silver ware. Heck Vilja spends more than Aravi does.



The funny thing is, she is the one that always chooses that inn. She could go to the Tiber Septim, but nope, always the Merchant’s Inn.


Yeah it only took a few days of not so subtle hints for her to get her book. And the best part of it isn’t even up yet. teaser
---------------------------------

I downloaded two homes for Aravi to choose from. Unfortunately because of some mod conflicts her choice was made for her. I was still able to make a video of both though. Enjoy!

Red Rose Manor

Green Gables

Green Gables was the one I had conflicts with so I was not able to get into the cellar. In my case deactivating The Lost Spires restored full functionality of everything.

The big hearth in the middle of everything is neat in Red Rose Manor. So is the stonework around the windows, and the balcony/battlement. So can you make your own clothing with the sewing kit, spinning wheel, and loom? What was that globe thingy by the statuette of Azura in the attic alchemy lab? The secret passage goes to a neat grotto. It reminds me of Teresa's Astral Temple.

Green Gables looked more ritzy inside, but a little too much so I think. It seemed too modern, and broke the whole suspension of disbelief that this is in a fantasy world. Especially the modern furniture, sinks, and flush toilet. And Mythic Dawn statues? I think you are far better off with Rose Manor.

Ooo, is the magic crystal ball the one that was under the alchemy desk upstairs? I love Red Rose Manor, for the secret grotto alone!!

But Green Gables has all of those sweet rolls, I know which one Vilja would pick!

They both look neat (and big). Thanks for sharing! Red Rose suits my style more. Which one are you keeping?

I liked them both, but was not thrilled with the idea of having to use night eye while inside one's home (Red Rose). It seemed awfully dark inside.

I liked Green Gables better mostly because of that, (I see I'm in the minority, lol). Really love these walk-throughs you do, you could post these vids on each mod you have DL'd, because they show more of the mod than the screens do, a lot more !!!

I love your vid collection !!!
