I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case... I mean, I love bacon as much as the next person, but eats bacon and wishes it was more like popcorn? Or eats popcorn and wishes it tasted like bacon? Madness, I tell you! MADNESS!!!! And yes, I know that three or more is the generally accepted criteria for madness

QUOTE(Callidus Thorn @ Jul 28 2016, 11:28 AM) On a related note I've stopped having bacon sandwiches for breakfast twice a week.
I could read that as "i used to eat bacon sandwiches for breakfast twice a week, but I stopped" or "I only eat bacon sandwiches for breakfast five days a week now." Were they displaced by sausages? black pudding? deep-fried Mars bars?

Haha, the former, not the latter. They were displaced by cornflakes, which are now my breakfast of choice. Edit: Also, deep fried mars bars? *shudders* definitely not, least of all for breakfast This post has been edited by Callidus Thorn: Jul 28 2016, 04:43 PM

Nobody, and I mean nobody, takes my heart the way Maxical can. Her vivacious and infectious manner will stay with me forever. Thanks for bringing back an image of her again, mALX. **** I have a question- Has anybody here played the Witcher series. I just bought number 3 on Xbox and hooked up online to see how many updates and free content they added. It said 18GB. Insane! D'Awww!!!! Thank you so much! My son played the new Witcher plus DLC almost straight for a couple weeks; he loves it!

QUOTE(Callidus Thorn @ Jul 28 2016, 04:17 AM) I'm actually too jealous right now for my typical Magnetoesque response to mods, that just sounds seriously cool.
I've never played a Khajiit, their faces just don't work for me. Maybe if I spent thirty minutes or so trying to sort one out...
Same here. I played Maxical as a vanilla Khajililt on the XBox for years, but was really, really not happy with her looks at all. There was nothing about her that I could feel attached to; but I liked the Khajiit racial bonuses. I saw this screenshot on the internet one day and it is the whole reason I went out and bought a gaming PC and Oblivion for PC: The mod is fantastic. Her facial expressions go from sad; surprised; bored; happy; angry; really angry; injured = and the ears reflect everything you see in her face; which is something the vanilla Khajiit player character never did. It also made her look younger; and unique. That was a huge thing, to me - and one of the reasons I couldn't play Maxical in Skyrim. I couldn't give her a unique look there, she looked exactly the same as every other white Khajiit there. I had never seen head tracking in the game before; and the first time I saw her do it I got hooked on playing in 3rd person just to watch her nodding at people in passing and smiling at them - or glaring at them and laying her ears back! The mod gave her the personality that the vanilla Khajiit totally lacked. I added voice to her so she hums when she is walking about; and sighs; and then found that great Scottish voice files from Annah-of-the-Shadows, from Planescape: Torment - she even talks about having a tail; and is kind of scrappy like Maxical is - so the voice fit. Maxical's mod is the only mod I will not play without; the game would never be the same with a vanilla Khajiit for me.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Jul 28 2016, 10:28 AM) QUOTE(Callidus Thorn @ Jul 28 2016, 04:25 PM) Maybe I'll try something a little more conventional for my next character, rather than an exclusively magic-using character who's weak to magic.
I think it´s an interesting concept, maybe you just need to take it a bit slower. I could be wrong of course but I get the feeling you´re kinda rushing your characters instead of really taking the time developing them I think he hasn't found the right one that is "IT" for him yet; and he is searching for that one particular intangible that makes one character so special that you can't put them down. (IE: Buffy; Lothran; Jerric; Maxical; etc) QUOTE(Callidus Thorn @ Jul 28 2016, 10:32 AM) .
That and I really wasn't expecting Caminalda to throw lightning bolts around. I've never seen her do that before.
You are right, she normally throws frost spells. I wonder what happened? QUOTE(mirocu @ Jul 28 2016, 10:47 AM) ICE CREAM Just realized that haven´t been said for awhile now Will peach yogurt do?

I seem to recall him being something of a disappointment. But I think he ran into my Altmer Battlemage, who pretty much broke the game(weakness to magicka stacking) In game he could be tough or too easy, depending on what you came after him with. But by fan of his, I was talking about his dialogue; he is kind of charismatic when you first talk to him (like Mankar Camoran is) - I really like when they make the enemies feel a little grayish and make you wonder before killing them, lol.

Oh yeah, I've seen your pictures. You have a LONG time to not be worried about it, QUOTE(SubRosa @ Jul 28 2016, 06:01 PM) TBH, I think there is something wrong with the website, that is causing it to report the wrong character set. We shouldn't have to manually set our character encoding to Western every time we view a page. When I look at Page Info in Firefox, it says that the page encoding is UTF-8, but lower down in the same window it says the Meta tag from the page is reporting iso-8859-1. So something weird is going on.
I wondered that too. Awful long stories to be having to go in and manually fix the issues. But when we all left the official site to come here; my story at the Bethesda official forums had the same thing wherever there was supposed to be special punctuation like quotes or hyphens - they have had years to fix that; and I think it is still the same way to this day (or was the last time I looked a couple years ago) I wonder how it can be fixed?
