Some pics of my spellsword Forrah:

Captured by bandits

Custom start: Live Another Life - Death Alternative (captured by bandits scenario)

Unbound

To rescue, one has to play a minigame. I won't reveal it in details but it's a well-integrated feature.

Left for dead

Another feature of LaL - in case your character 'dies', it is regarded as being knocked unconscious. In Forrah's case she was beaten by bandits and thrown out of the cave, because they thought they had killed her.

How very wrong they were...

Avenger in loincloth

End of the Butcher

Heavy armored spellsword

Shrine of Azura

Uh oh, captured by bandits!

Forrah is free, and spitting fire!

Oh, it was Cragslane Cavern. Good thing they did not feed her to the pit wolves!

Is that Black Widow in loincloth? Or Scarlet Witch?

Neat to see the Shrine so far off in the distance.

This set of screens compliments Forrah's opening story in the other thread very well.

Free and spitting fire!

She looks great.

Cool that you can see Azura's Shrine so far away.

@SubRosa - if it wasn't for the Butcher in the same room, Forrah would manage to kill two bandits next to her just with fire. But the Butcher was very tough, even when she returned to the cave, he almost got her again.

@Acadian - I avoided looking at the map so seeing Azura's Shrine in the distance helped me to determine Forrah's location. I'm not that familiar with Skyrim so when she came out of the cave, I didn't know exactly where she is.

Freezing cold

Sparkling hot

Jump, jump!

Not in a mood for foursome

The blade

Ruin cleared

Taking it to those black-robes with shock and ice!

And killing Druglords!

Oooh, pretty sword. How is Forrah liking the blade in one hand, spell in the other style?

Heh, the last shot is a trademark Lopov shot – and really showcases the pretty but deadly Forrah.

Forrah is cold as ice.

Electrifying!

Wow, that is some jump!

Cool, the Ghostblade! It's effect is not very impressive, but it looks cool. I modded it so it does more damage.

@Acadian - we like the spellsword fighting style very much. It was difficult at first, but now we already got better at it. When she lacked more powerful spells, Forrah cast first Oakflesh and then switched either to Sparks or Healing, depending on the present company. When she got some more powerful spells and more magicka, she usually cast first Muffle (if necessary), then Stoneflesh followed by Lightning Bolt or Fast Healing. It's fun.

@SubRosa - the Ghostblade isn't combat impressive indeed but it looks great. Forrah later switched to other, more powerful weapons but she still keeps the Ghostblade. Once she finds a place to call home, the Ghostblade will get its place there too.

Snowy beast

Wounded spellsword

Morning in the cave

Illuminated

Meeting Snow Elves

Crossing

Falmer Hardened Armor

And another Lopov's shot

Snowy beast is a great action shot showing Forrah doing what she does best.

You did a great job in char gen with her I think. While she’s certainly attractive you’ve managed to impart a strong, tough no-nonsense rather rugged look to her that quite suits her style and profession.

Bad Kitty!

Great profile pic of Forrah, with the cave mouth behind her.

Better put those Snow Elves on ice...

The hardened armor looks good on F

Definitely a Lopov shot!

Sweet! A snow cat indoor in a cave. I do not think I have seen that very often.

Or have I been drinking too much Skooma and not paying attention.

Thanks for the awesome 'Falmer Hardened Armor' pic. I love it so much I am now using it as my desktop pic.

Whoa holy [censored] she looks so vulnerable in those opening pics. My gosh.

Indeed, I agree with others--these sets of pics would be nothing without classic Lopov shots to wrap them up! And in general, she looks just like somebody who is supposed to be a rich-man's daughter. Her face is scar-free and unhardened, unlike many women in Skyrim.



This is similar to when White Wizard began his game. I had no idea where he was and did not look at the map, but I could see College of Winterhold in the distance. Which is good because with the Frostfall mod in his game, he woulda died if he'd spent too much time out in da cold air.

@Acadian - thanks! I wouldn't be able to achieve the desired face if not for Smooth faces for ladies and gents, which is for me the only facial mod that alters faces to my liking and has compatibility patches for neck seams.

@SubRosa - I thought that the Falmer Hardened Armor was added by Immersive Armors but a quick look on the UESP revealed that it's vanilla. It certainly looks good.

@Winter Wolf - I haven't been to that particular cave before, though we're in the spoilers section, I won't tell the exact name of the cave. What seemed like an ordinary cave at first, soon turned out to be a Falmer-infested ruin.

@Renee - she actually has three scars on her right left cheek but they're obscured by her hairstyle. You can see them by looking at Lopov's shots from very close.

Ugh. Spiders.

Aww, hope she had a nice chat with Marc.

Nice butt!

Walking away. Forrah really is an attractive character.

Falmer Hardened Armor was added by Dawnguard. Same with the Chaurus Hunter.

Ewwww, no spiders. I modded them out of my game.

Kind of hard to see in that helmet! It's worse than Stormtrooper Armor.

I see Mercutio is putting the moves on Forrah!

That view is a bestseller to me!

Spiders in Skyrim- Cigarettes in Fallout. SubRosa is having trouble with Beth games!

Those Falmer helmets are the blast shield helmets of Skyrim. Perhaps the force guides them to find the enemy. With years underground it might be their only hope.

Reading a book like that will pose problems in Skyrim. Either the cold will get you or drunk Nord males will.

The Bee and Barb certainly has a lot going on. Most times I cannot even hear my conversation.



Boo! Hiss!

@Acadian - she got tired of Marcurio very quickly. But maybe one day she'll hire him to see whether he's really that good as he claims to be.

@SubRosa - I'm glad that Hardened Armor was added by DG, but I'm a little less glad about Chaurus hunters.

@Winter Wolf - I use a mod to make conversations less frequent, it's called Less talkative NPCs. I also use a mod that doesn't make everyone automatically tell you their life stories as they pass you, instead you have to almost bump into them to initiate a conversation. Without these two mods I'd have difficulties being inside cities and even more inside inns.

I missed your earlier comment about your new background pic - thanks, I'm honored! See how little it takes for me to reveal the name of the cave, it's in a spoiler below.

Three on the bridge

Uttering Hills

Silent bandits

Last laugh of the flying skeleton

A closer look will reveal three scars on her left cheek

Winterhold winter wonderland

What remains of the town...

Reading (in armor)

Sunny day in Winterhold

Stormcloaks took over

Looks like the Uttering Hills did not have a lot to say. Except perhaps the death rattles of the bandit's lairing there!

Last Laugh of the Flying Skeleton sounds like a great name for an inn! What a fantastic shot!

The scars make Forrah more attractive I think.

Winterhold is living up to its name.

Fort Kastav now has a breathing garrison.

Forrah's leaving quite the wake of bandits behind her. Brrrr - Winterhold! Good thing she's learned how to read with her bare bits covered. Winterhold really does capture the chill of Skyrim and I love the story of how the College became so precariously perched. On a sunny day, you can see the beautiful Lady Azura.

Beautiful pics of Winterhold there. 'Sunny day in Winterhold' is a shot I never see playing on Xbox so I really appreciate that camera angle. It is just a shame half the town disappeared and is only just larger than an outside dunny!

Loved the flying skeleton. That Nord bow framed against the vista looks incredible.

Good thing Forrah sent that magical letter. Couriers would never get through the blizzard.

A Lopov character reading while fully clothed. Now I have seen everything. Must be boring for the mages/innkeepers with nothing to look at. No wonder they turn to drink.

Thanks for the spoiler name! I have not been to that place yet. Hating Skyrim for so many years means I have missed out on half the game. I see I have more exploring to do.

@SubRosa - lol @ breathing garrison. Mages at Fort Kastav that are located outside were very tough to bring down, at one point Forrah even thought of escaping from the fort. Obviously she changed her mind.

@Acadian - in my game sunny days in Winterhold are extremely rare so I made sure to quickly take a screenie before weather worsened. Which it did. And even if weather in Winterhold is sunny at first, it changes to heavy snowstorm as soon as the College is entered. I don't use any weather mods, though.

@Winter Wolf - while I didn't hate Skyrim, I also have lots of places to explore because I never played the game as extensively than Oblivion or any Fallout. I was also for the first time in that cave with the snowy sabre cat. I wish Winterhold was larger too. Kinda doesn't make sense to have a Jarl to watch over three houses, his own one included.
