QUOTE(Lopov @ May 12 2015, 10:45 AM)  Mania was bright and luminous as were its sunsets. Its dogs, however, were a bit unusual and not friendly at all. So Vion had to kill them. He spent the night under (or inside) a large trunk. And finally met a wanderer that didn't attack him on sight. He got lost along the way and crossed the border between Mania and Dementia. Serching for fabulous New Sheoth, the town of the Mad God himself, he finally spotted it in the distance. The path to it, however, was long and dangerous. Before reaching the town, he stopped at its graveyard and chuckled upon some epitaphs. Gates to the demented part of New Sheoth were guarded by a Dark Seducer. After opening them Vion finally arrived to Crucible. "This probably counts as the inn...and this as the general store." Crucible definitely had the most unusual blacksmith. And he quickly attracted attention of the suicidal Imperial who wanted for Vion to kill him. He ignored his plea and instead went to the inn. But he had to admit that the room wasn't bad for only twenty gold. Not bad, not bad at all. However, he didn't feel comfortable in Crucible. Either its residents wanted to get someone else killed either they wanted to die themselves either they were kleptomaniacs or addicts. But Vion was on a lookout for doing something noble, so he agreed to find a cure for Sickly Bernice. She was sick, by the way. The cure was supposedly located deep below in a cave called Knotty Bramble northeast of Crucible. Fortunately, Vion found a deserted bedroll inside it and took a nap before descending further down. I was really surprised how nice the room was at Sickly Bernice's! Did not expect that at all! You did an amazing job on Vion's face; he has to be the best looking guy in Cyrodiil, lol. QUOTE(Lopov @ May 10 2015, 08:52 AM)  A neat meadow with abundant flowers which Vion found west of Bravil. He decided to find out what is the mysterious statue about. As soon as he got out of the water, he noticed unusual vegetation. But even more unusual was the man on the other side of the "door". If you're wondering why he's shirtless, it's because he left his shirt and shoes at Bawnwatch Camp when going for a swim. He had a short conversation with Haskill. And then butterflies appeared. Plenty of butterflies. Seeing the Gatekeeper in action made Vion convince that he shouldn't tackle him unless prepared. He met some sane and less sane residents of Passwall in the Wastrel's Purse and finally found a vest to wear. And though he still found no shoes, he had to admit, that afternoons in the Isles were beautiful. But to see more of the Isles, he had to get past the Gatekeeper. Jayred Ice-Veins was there to help him, and he also allowed him to take a pair of boots from his house. He called the Warden Power upon himself, and the battle could begin. Though as he quickly experienced, the Gatekeeper wasn't the one to be underestimated. He sent Vion flying all over the battle place. But in the end the size didn't matter, and Vion's sword finished Gatekeeper's reign over the Gates of Madness. And so a new tourist entered Mania. I don't know how you managed to capture those butterflies in two screens, that happens so fast I've never been able to get even one screen of it! Amazing shots, those are my favorites. This set is such a strong reminder of how awesome the quests and questlines were in Oblivion; that Gatekeeper was one of my favorite things - especially how it ties in to the whole SI story and having to build a new one, lol. Awesome shots! QUOTE(Renee @ May 10 2015, 08:32 AM)  One who roams forever - what an amazing shot, what made the fog so thick? Holy Cow, but it made for an amazing shot!

Thanks all!QUOTE(mALX @ May 12 2015, 06:38 PM)  I don't know how you managed to capture those butterflies in two screens, that happens so fast I've never been able to get even one screen of it! Amazing shots, those are my favorites. I disable menus and then press PrintScr, because of disabled menu you won't get a notification that a screenshot was taken, so you can press it as many times you want and then choose best screenshots at the end. -- Vion found the cure for Sickly Bernice but got lost on the way back. It is quite difficult to get oriented in Dementia, especially if gaming without a compass. Nonetheless, with time he found his way back by following creatures which he killed on his way to Knotty Bramble. In the following days he socialized with friendly citizens of Crucible and explored more of the town, so he found its chapel, and even got a blessing. He also ascended up to Palace Grounds, realizing that the Mad God lives in a far more luxurious palace than the Emperor of Tamriel used to live. For now he didn't dare to enter the Palace itself, instead he took a stroll through its gardens. Exploring a vicinity of Crucible, he found Deepwallow, a small settlement where residents refused to leave their houses. Ever. Since swimming was his favorite free time activity and he had free time in abundance, he couldn't resist a swim in the unnamed lake close to Crucible. When he felt that he had just become more athletic, he returned to the town. Exploring some more areas around Crucible and fighting Balliwogs on his way, Vion found the infamous Hill of Suicides. But being in Dementia was making Vion feel gloomy so he needed a change. What better to do than to enter Crucible's counterpart - Bliss. Its streets were bright and tidy, but its residents weren't much more sane than in Crucible. Others just wanted some Saa-WEET-ROOOOL. And a seductive bookseller wanted to spend a night with Vion. Or with Vion inside her. This post has been edited by Lopov: May 14 2015, 06:42 PM

Thanks all!QUOTE(Acadian @ May 14 2015, 08:36 PM)  Bliss is beautiful. Luvs Golden Saints.  If they were only a little more polite.  Dark Seducers are very kind compared to hot-tempered Golden Saints. But in any case, Bliss is a really beautiful place as is entire Mania and its skies. QUOTE(mALX @ May 14 2015, 08:53 PM)  If you are a female that seductive bookseller threatens you not to take any of her men,  QUOTE(SubRosa @ May 14 2015, 08:56 PM)  I remember that bookseller. She always threatened my characters too!   I just checked her responses on the UESP if playing a female. QUOTE(mirocu @ May 14 2015, 10:22 PM)  Lothran doesnīt want to go back there so Iīm glad we get these pixies from Vion  Why is this?  Did he get bored of the Isles or he just doesn't like madmen in general? This post has been edited by Lopov: May 15 2015, 04:17 PM

I have a LOT of trouble capturing good screenshots. (but my biggest problem is remembering to hit "PrintScreen" when the action is happening instead of after it is over, lol).

An old/new dweller in Cyrodiil - welcome to Persephone! Great shot with the Emperor, he looks as he is supposed to look. Seems she safely led the Bloated Float back to the Imperial City. Agarmir's days are numbered...great shots altogether! -- Leaving Bliss, Vion walked through what he called " the mushroom avenue". He passed the legendary ruin of Milchar and spent the night by a nearby lake, to be awakened by the warm Sun. He found Hale, a small settlement of artists, among which was also Halion, quite a poet. To Vion's surprise, Hale was also a home to another dweller from Cyrodiil - Pyke. Pyke was a former Knight of the Thorn from Cheydinhal and he asked Vion to retrieve his stolen amulet from nearby Fetid Grove. At night residents of Hale locked themselves in their houses and Vion climbed up a giant root to find a place to sleep. The next day he walked to Fetid Grove, found its " heart", and gathered some amber. He returned to Hale in the late afternoon and returned the found medallion to Pyke. His words made Vion think whether he'll ever return to Cyrodiil himself. He spent another night atop the giant root, reading Saints and Seducers before sleeping.

Renee: The truth is, I cannot count how many times I have remade Persephone's face since I created her late Friday night. Every time I think I have it good, I see it from a different angle and cringe. I have gone back to the drawing board and started over from scratch at least three or four times. I think I finally have it together now. I just hope I don't jinx it by saying that! Lopov: Maybe Persephone will make it to the Isles. But I installed Unique Landscapes a while ago, and have not had the chance to see all the things it adds. I think I will finish up exploring those new areas first. I am using a mod that makes Uriel and Martin Septim look like their voice actors. I have to say I love it. mALX: It is nice to be back in Cyrodiil again, after being away for so long. Tbh, one of the big reasons I am not interested in ESO is that I could not play my favorite characters in it. It is has a class system, and there is no modding. I could not play Persephone because while she is mainly a fighter, she is also a necromancer as well. Conjuring the Darryls is just as much a part of who she is and what she does as swinging a greatsword. Likewise, while Teresa of the Faint Smile is mainly a woodsy archer, conjuring animals is just as much a part of her as using a bow. Of course I'd never be able to do either in ESO. I am using Qarls Texture Pack 3, which really turns up the quality on the textures. It really makes it look like a different game. I am also using the face textures from Robert's Female Bodies (but not the actual body textures or meshes  ) I liked the BAB body a little better, but I think Robert's has the best facial textures I have seen for Oblivion. Acadian: Persephone has been everywhere else, so it is high time she visited Cyrodiil. Who knows, maybe I'll take her for a spin in Morrowind someday, and try out Skywind with her. She has rapidly become my favorite character. I just can't quit the living dead girl. Agarmir just had a very bad day. Stay tuned. That you too, Agarmir?Visiting an old friendVilverinSettin' for a spell&*^%$#@*&^ Archers!The sun sets on Nath DyerHelp the light, find my face...Looking back
