It's Druja from the Skingrad guild hall. She kind of does look that way doesn't she?



No I didn't! I think I found it too. Xtudos Neck Seam?

I think that is it, it is in that page full of Vilja downloads, lol. That screen with Druja is the first time I ever noticed it, but it was clearly visible there.

Great screenies! Not only does the armor really bring out the color of Aravi's eyes, but I noted in the second one how fabulous her hair color looks given the color of her cute little nose. And yes, her ears are priceless for their expressiveness!


For mALX, I saw the shadow you mentioned in that vid as well. I have sometimes in game noticed such things and they have turned out to be opticle boo boos or bleedthrough from an NPC upstairs or in the next room.

I think Aravi will be in Elven armor for the rest of Oblivion then! (maybe even when she moves to Skyrim)

I never thought about the hair color and nose but I can see where you are coming from Acadian

--------------------------------------
Aravi and Vilja find and investigate the mansion described in the note, after Aravi does a quick favor for Vilja.

With her pale skin and white hair, I bet Falanu liked Vilja!

I cannot wait to meet Falanu's mother!

Boring! I love hearing Imoen say that!

I bet that rare wood stake will come in handy!

Aravi thought the note was boring - hilarious !! The vid was great for giving a lot of background on Vilja, I was really surprised how empty the mansion was.

One thing I found fascinating was the journal entries - so glad you decided to post them !!! Those clarify a lot of things !!! Really awesome mod - I am loving this trip through it with Aravi !!!!

This was great. I love the choices you made in deciding what to show us. It felt very natural and unrushed, yet was not overly long. Well done!

I thought is was a nice (and helpful) touch that you circled the 'boring' bits with the mouse that you wanted us to read of long document.

Vilja continues to be just adorable! "You know, you're actually rather cute. I ran across a couple mud crabs the other day, you know. Annoying creatures."

Oh I'm sure you will all enjoy meeting her a lot. I hate strongly dislike her.



I was surprised too. I was expecting enemies in there. If not vampires then undead.



Vilja says some funny things. I've heard her complain about how much mudcrabs are discussed and here she is talking about them!


-------------------------------
The journal found in the mansion says Aravi has to travel back to the Imperial City... Just when she thought she was getting away from there for a change.

After talking to Kendrel: http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/2828/qu4h.jpg

Vilja is hilarious again. I mean, why wouldn’t the vampires want convenient access to the shops?

Vilja is hilarious, vampires wanting to go shopping !!! ROFL !!! That daughter is TALKATIVE !!! GAAAAH! Aravi has a lot of patience !!! ROFL !!! Great vid !!!!

So they found a vampire lair? I love the things Vilja buys! Yup, ya never know when you'll need some bound axes or unlock scrolls to help that skellie key along.

As ever, this was great fun to watch!

I think the vampires of Skingrad want to be able to go shopping with their buddy, the Count!

What other explanation is there?



That patience must come from her high willpower lol


At least it wasn't silverware again. Aravi has 2-3 sets sitting in her home. The scrolls may be useful at least.

Aravi and Vilja explore the buried temple.

I have decided that now, since I fulfill all the requirements, a new quest mod is going to find its way into my game.

It's called Integration: The Stranded Light, and it requires users to have already installed two other mods (Race Balancing Project and Less Annoying Magic Experience) and have the SI Expansion in order to use it. However, if RBP and LAME are anything to go by, I think this one will be worth it.

GAAAAAH! The slo-mo at the end gave a powerful effect to the fight - my eyes were forced to her health meter and I found myself freaking out as it dropped to zero !!!! GAAAAAAH !!!!

Hmm... a back door. I would not have thought of that. Unlike Vilja, I don't think it is nice though!

I love how the floor of the temple seems to be at an angle. It reminds me of the villain's lairs old Batman t.v. show. They always put the camera on an angle when they shot those scenes, to show that the villain's point of view was skewed from reality. It is a bit disoriented after a while though.

More invisible vampires too. I hate those guys. I see these ones drop twice the amount of vampire dust as regular vamps though.

Yikes, 4-1 at the end, and one of them has a paralyze!

By Mara, that was good! Well done throughout, and the end of the segment was simply magnificent! Holy imp chips, gotta find out what happened!

This is the reaction I was looking for!

If it weren't for the requirements I'd strongly consider getting it. However I like the magic the way it is in my game. The RBP sounds interesting though. I will look into that one. As long as it doesn't remove my Khajiit's nighteye I'll probably like what it does.

The slow motion was great, thanks for suggesting it!

Vilja can say some things that are very awkward based on the situation.

I really liked the tilted floor as well. I used to play a game called Far Cry 2 that shipped with a map editor. I always did things like that just because it was so unusual.

That paralyze spell really hurt Aravi. She could have taken them if it weren't for it.

Thanks! I put a lot of time into perfecting that end segment.

---------------------
Just a note: I feel like I owe mALX some kudos. She saw that last video like a billion times because I'd change a little bit and and then upload it for feedback. She suggested the slow motion effect for the last video and I don't think I would have turned out nearly as well as it did with out it. Thanks for the help mALX!

The continuation of the previous video... Starts at the very beginning of the battle.

"Did you want some help?"
Yes!

That four-way beat down on Aravi was just horrific. Good thing you got out of there before it was too late. Then back into the breach once more. But this time better fortified. That was still one jaw-dropping fight!

"This is nice, don't you think so?"
Aravi shakes her head!
