Beautiful sunset, Lopov! It that Loypuur?

Yes, that's him.

Some recent random Buffy shots:

What’s the news in Cheydinhal?

A cold and rainy day.

You can come inside after I clear out the necrodudes.

Yay! Some Buffy pictures! I´m glad she decided to put herself in front of the camera again

I saw the first two earlier in the week, but not that third one! Love them all!

While I wait for a couple more Maxical pics, here´s a few oldies of Lothran I wanted to bring up again. The light is magnificent!

Sunset over Imperial City
Sunset over Topal Bay
Anvil harbor

Yes tmar, I will shoot some new ones soon...

Nice, mirocu, especially Anvil harbor.

Some more sunsets:

Sunset in Anvil
Sunset near Kvatch

Aahh... If only someone would rebuild Kvatch and put things back in order. It´s sutch a ginormous shame they didn´t include a rebuild in the vanilla game like they did with Cropsford

Yay, Buffy pictures! Her wardrobe is a continuing source of delight. That cold rain probably didn’t even touch her. My favorite is the last one. What a sweet moment with the adorably lethal bowgirl and her precious mare. (And I must say how perfect her hair looks in that picture!! Magnus loves blondes. )

Lovely shots of Lothran, mirocu. The Anvil harbor is my favorite.

And I love those skies, Lopov. At least the sunsets are still pretty over Kvatch. I like to see how Loypuur's armor choice is evolving.

Fabulous sunset shots, mirocu and Lopov!

Thanks, Grits!

Kvatch Rebuilt does good job in rebuilding the destroyed town even for those that don't want to tackle the MQ since the only condition is to close a portal of Oblivion and save the town and that does not spawn random gates across Cyrodiil as long as one doesn't ask Martin to accompany him in the quest Find the heir. It's true that to fully complete Kvatch Rebuilt, one must finish MQ but I think a major part of it can be done without doing the MQ.

I was using that mod on one of my previous character, got about halfway to completion and I really liked it. I also run it now, with Loypuur, and who knows, perhaps he might help rebuild it.

Regarding the mod, Kvatch Rebuilt, I have been very pleased with it. Here is a copy/paste of an article we did here at Chorrol on Buffy's Potpourri thread (in my fanfic sub forum). I realize there are a lot of older photobucket shots here but, for those interested, it does give a good feel for the finished product as Buffy sees it (some of the names and details are more reflective of her story/world than the actual mod):

Some overviews to give perspective. Note, the farther the camera, the greater the perspective offered at the price of some rich details-

Some closer shots to show more detail of what I think is a beautiful city-
A refreshing light shower.
A stately manor.
High Priestess Oleta’s Chapel of Akatosh.
Sigrid is still Guildmagister.
Weedum-Ja’s tavern.
Captain Lucilius Marcus.
Entering Castle Kvatch.
The throne.
The Royal Dining Hall.
Private quarters of Countess Odalys Goldwine.

Amazing pics, Acadian! I wish I could do the MQ to get all this but I won´t. Not even half-way through or something. Can you enter every building in town and does the arena work?

We used a lot of super secret magic so that Buffy lives in a post Oblivion Crisis world, but she is not the Champion of Cyrodiil. This suited our purpose; enabling the full rebuild of Kvatch is just one small benefit. At this point, we are well adjusted to the post crisis world and no one ever calls Buffy a hero or any sort (mod) so it is easy to roleplay and move beyond the crisis.

There are less than a dozen dead Oblivion Gates marring her world. In her world, Kynareth's spriggans have planted vines that reclaimed the ruins of countless other gates across Tamriel. A few are resistant. It seems those that were sustained by a fire-based sigil stone either burn forever or, when their flame goes out, the scorched ground refuses to accept any plant growth. The stuff about blaming fire sigils for those gates that burn forever is purely my imagination at work trying to answer my curious elf's questions. Lol.

The city of Kvatch is fully populated with shops and guilds. All the buildings work and the population is a mix of repatriated familiar encampment refugees and new NPCs. We have not tried using the Arena, since for Buffy's purposes, Kvatch's new ruler has transformed it to a cultural ampitheater. My understanding from the mod's thread however, is that the Arena does work, albeit with some bugs apparently.

I've added so many post-MQ quests into my mods that I'm also looking towards creating another to bypass the MQ, so I can create new test characters without having to take them through it. I like the "someone else did it" principle, as it make sense that all the MQ events should have happened, even if the Player Character didn't get as directly involved.

The "past game PC" characters are routinely acknowledged but put of range by the game. The Nerevarine has gone off on an expedition, etc. I'm sure the same could be done for the CoC, but my own FF has him become the new Count of Kvatch, so I'll likely make a private mod where that happens, and work on top of some of Kvatch Rebuilt to make it happen.

If anyone else likes that idea, I could try and package it up. I don't want to make it too public, as there would be way too many opinions on what quest-lines to shortcut, and who the CoC actually was. Kvatch Rebuilt gives you the choice of installing yourself, or a son of Goldwine, so the easiest path is probably converting the latter. As my need is for an add-in mod for my test characters, I'm biased towards simple and easy.

I'll open a fresh thread in "Mod Ideas" where we can discuss this.

I can almost hear her tapping on the other side of the glass on my monitor

Phon - Yay, a close up of the elusive Niamh!

Lopove - Nice ones. 'Onward!' is truly inspired! What a fabulous action shot - backdropped perfectly by the Deadlands, and with the Kvatch Wolf rightfully taking center stage.

Awesome pics, Lopov! Great actionshots right up there with tmar!
