Superian is better than a mountain goat!

Yay, screenies! Teamwork is a perfect demonstration of the team in action. I just adore Buffy’s four-legged companions.

Oh, I spit tea at the sight of Superian inside Breezehome! I imagine Buffy is reluctant to stay where her mare is not welcome. Helmets off to Lydia for her hospitality. What a lovely, homey scene.

Gulp, what a display of sure-footedness from Superian! She must be part mountain goat. Thank you for mentioning that Kitsune is safe and snug in Buffy’s lap. With Superian, Buffy is the ultimate path-finder. I love how you framed the scene with snowy evergreen branches.

Why, yes indeed. Buffy is all kinds of hot in this picture! Wow. Her expression and pose are just perfect!!


Safe journey, Acadian and Buffy! I hope you have a wonderful trip, and we look forward to your return.

Enjoyable screenshots, as always. I do like the last one as it captures Buffy's personality so well.

My regards to Acadian Sr. I'm at a point with my mother now where I feel like each season with her might be my last. So I know how poignant this visit can be, and yet how wonderful that you get to see Sr. again.

Buffy is doing some neat horse-archering! I could never get that to work well.

Buffy is warming herself by the fire, and Lydia is not eating bread?

I see Buffy bought Superian some anti-grav boots! She had better be careful, gravity is a harsh mistress!

Yes, we definitely wanted you Buffy!

Have a good time seeing Aviator Sr!

Buffy's outfits always look good. I know a certain lizard who'd be green(er) with envy if he saw them.

Lydia doesn't seem at all bothered by the horse in the house, though any friend of Buffy and co. should probably be used to it

Hope you have a good trip!

BWAAHAA !!!! I didn't see Superian in there !!!!!

She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes!! Gravity indeed has been defied. A majestic scene with a majestic steed and a wkmderful rider.

Buffy once more shows us why shes someome to be reckoned with, with that bow.

I had to look twice to see Superian in the backround. Hehe.... Methinks our bowgirl might have some cleaning up to do in the morning. Unless Superian is stable-trained.

Yes, we wanted you Buffy, very true.

The trio is back in action, it seems, this time against a bear. Each of them contributes something in bringing the beast down.

How nice to pay a visit to Lydia! I didn't notice Superian at first either but if the back of Breezheome is left unfurnished, there's even some hay placed on the floor so it makes a good place for the mare.

Yikes, hopefully Superian won't overturn like tractors on steep terrain sometimes.

Thanks, all, for the well wishes during my recent trip. Acadian Sr is still doing pretty well and it was great to see him.

mALX- Thank you! Buffy’s gotten to be quite the little horse archer – as long as she has a critter out front to keep the attention of her foes.

mirocu- I’ve always loved how TES horses have such amazing mountain climbing ability. Not very realistic I suppose, but helps compensate for some of the many drawbacks of horse ownership.

Grits- Thanks! Mounted archery can be frustrating with just Buffy and Superian. Without a helper, darn foes get inside her shooting arc and all she can do at that point is break contact using the mare’s amazing speed, then try to reacquire and reengage.

Rider- Thank you! I did like how Buffy looked in that last screenie inside Bronzewater Cave with her head tilted like that.

SubRosa- Thanks! The frustration caused Buffy to cry when she first tried horse archery. Then she gritted her teeth with determination and spent loads of time (and misses) getting reasonably good at it. Certainly a challenging skill, given her dislike of non-stealth encounters and my old fingers.

hazmick- Thank you for the kind words regarding Buffy’s voluminous wardrobe. Her primary outfits are variants of the College robes, Assassins Creed type robes and Triss outfits. Since they all come in plenty of colors, we roleplay that Buffy can manage color changes via alteration magic. We’ve grown to rather like Lydia and pretend she is just a Whiterun guard / housecarl under training who lives in Breezehome and has befriended Buffy.

DE- Thanks! No, Superian is not stable trained. . . after all, she has an attentive elf to clean up after her.

Lopov- Thank you. Yes, we’ve left Breezehome only slightly upgraded so it has the hay and more open spaces for that spoiled horse. Skyrim’s terrain can be very rugged and channeling of course – but Superian really allows direct line travel when Buffy wants to. Although it is a fun challenge sometimes for Buffy to play ‘pathfinder’ for followers, it is then refreshing to dump any followers and go ‘off road’ wherever she wants.

Buffy is getting suspicious that perhaps Acadian is wiping her memory and occasionally starting them off anew in Skyrim. She recent joined the Dawnguard and it feels. . . somehow familiar to her. Her current game is ‘Dragons Lite’ and she’s knee deep in the Dawnguard at the moment.

Serana. . . your resurrected battlebunny was of great help during that last fight.

There are times when Serana does prove her worth however.

Glad we got you out of those vampire clothes and into an official Dawnguard mages uniform.

Everybody got their protective aura’s up?

Back from the Soul Cairn, Serana opted to spend some time training the Dawnguard knights to know the nature of their enemy, while Buffy sets off without her for the next quest.

Summoning Durnehviir drew some unwelcome attention.

The frost dragon made the mistake of focusing on Durn instead of the lethal little elf.

If I woke up and saw her like this, I´d take her for a Valkyrie!


How do you get Buffy to stand in those cool poses?

aaah the Dawnguard. They have an excellent taste in uniforms, forts, and pets. Glad to see Buffy helping them out, alongside everyone's favourite vampiress.

Then there's the Soul Cairn. Very cosy. Having your own friendly dragon is worth the trip though.

Serana and her undead bunny minion! That reminds me of the Chickenmancer outside of Ivarstead!

Serana and her black steed of doom are really putting it to that frost troll! And I see one of Buffy's ethereal arrows was caught in mid-flight just a moment before finding a new home in a troll's head...

That is a neat remake of meshes and textures in the Dawnguard Mage Robes. I see Serana still has a hood though, and she's still wearing it indoors!

Buffy has quite the entourage in the Soul Cairn. Did she leave Superian behind and summon Avrak?

Oooh, dragons do battle! But Buffy is the decider of things.

This is a spectacular update! I have been waiting for this!




Buffy & Bunny - DAAAAAW!!!! That is such a Buffy moment, it is so like her to sit quietly enough in thought that a wild bunny felt safe enough to come that near, that is Awesome! And a very Buffy screen, too!


Werewolf attacking Serana - GAAAAAAAH!!! I didn't even see tiny Buffy on her etherial horse till I caught sight of that arrow, then just followed the trajectory to find Buffy, lol.


Buffy & Serana dressed to kill and on the strut - my absolute favorite Skyrim screen of Buffy EVAH!!!! I see Buffy is finally getting back to the clothes horse we all know and love; and is teaching Serana that even the undead can enjoy life when it comes to a new outfit! I absolutely LOVE this shot!


Next: "Nothing to see here, just keep moving..." I got the biggest kick out of this one - most especially because I know Buffy was trying to look inconspicuous as they traveled, Then I thought Serana was also in flames (like her horse); but leading her horse for some odd reason! But no, Serana is riding her horse, so ... who is that walking in front of the horse? Is this Lydia being punsished for her sarcastic gripes about carrying your burdons by having to walk while everyone rides, while Buffy and Serana make sure everyone sees her by having mounts that light up the night and a fox to match,


The next shot - at first I thought this was two birds flying, and was craning my neck to see what was at the bottom of that mountain that had Buffy's special attention!

Then I saw the next screen and realized it was two dragons fighting - had to go back and look again, lol. What a great shot!


It didn't take Buffy long to get out of eye level with the dragons, I don't blame her! (although she didn't pick the safest alternative, lol).

Awesome shots, all of them! My top two faves are Buffy and Serana strutting and Buffy and the Bunny, could you tell?

Lol, I love this shot and your comment regarding it. Also, Buffy seems to stare at a bunny, thinking sth like "You're really cute but I don't get what Serana wanted to achieve by resurrecting you."


Great timing as the summoned arrow is just about to hit the troll. Love Buffy's pose too.


Girls look great. I assume this shot was taken in the Volkihar Keep?


Another great shot, Buffy's horse blends well with the color of the sky in Soul Cairn.


Something else got my attention more than dragons...


It's too late to correct his mistake by now. The scenery looks great in this pic.

Good to see Buffy back and kicking some dragon's ass!

Without wifi at home for in he moment but I will be back to campus catch up, Acadian.

Not too happy about your pic of the month, Acadian. We don´t see Buffy´s face



But other than that....

I'm wondering who the person is with the heavy armor behind Superian and Buffy - the one taking the picture. Is that Serana? Mjoll? Lydia? ACADIAN? It's a mystery!

Serana spamming resurrection spells again, I see. Buffy's looks on her face is priceless. Same reaction I'd get if someone brought a butterfly to life if I was battling a group of bandits.

But while she does have her bringing bunnies, chickens and mudcrabs to life she can be real useful with those destruction spells. One of the best allies to have!

Walking through an eerie castle with style and grace? Yes please! You know Acadian, the red looks good in Serana and the Mages clothes suits Buffy. You can see the individual style for each of them

Protective auras is necessary, but so is a scarf to cover their noses. I bet the Soul Cairn reeks of dead things . . .

I think those two dragons are arguing . . . hehe.

mALX, I think that's a troll and not a werewolf

Oh, I think you are right!

Battle bunny! That’s hilarious. Serana works with whatever she finds. I see she is bundled up in vampire robes and still bearing her Scroll in this picture. Funny that Buffy is catching on to you!

Is Serana hitting that troll from horseback with a flaming sword?! Nicely done!

I love Buffy’s restyling of her vampire friend. The red Dawnguard mage robes are an excellent choice for Serana’s coloring and for… other reasons.

I love the matching blue/flame auras for Buffy and Serana’s mini-groups.

Buffy and Durnehviir make an awesome team out on the tundra. That frost dragon probably never even saw the arrow that killed him. He landed a little too close for comfort!

You picked a cool and refreshing screenie for July. I love the detail on Superian’s outfit. Very nice!

It’s always a delight to catch up with Buffy’s adventures!
