Not at the shrine, past it. If you follow the trail and up the steps westward. There's always a daedra there.


Oh, cool.


Doesn't Lena also still play? Although she hasn't updated here recently, she might still be playing too.

Think she does, but I'm talking about playing, and then describing what's going on here at Chorrol. Dozens of us participated at Bethsoft, but now we're the only ones left. Which is fine, I was just making an observation. I still play Morrowind and Skyrim too, but it's hard to maintain discussion in a thread when you're the only one adding comments into it..

My Dunmer is in Dzonot Cave, on the west side of the City. He makes one sale to a Black Bow Bandit. A pretty Bosmer lady's not interested ("Come back later", she says). And ... uh oh.

"Pay up, OR ELSE!" Khajiit bandit males sometimes pick up on Highwayman dialog. Time to summon a zombie!

Does it happen that Snaat gets reported by a denying customer?


---------------------------
Lothran is enjoying a slow day within the walls of Bruma. Having cleared out the mine and the cave, as well as the road out west, he felt like it was time to do nothing for awhile

What month is it in his game? Is it actually winter, ya know? If it's not winter, let's say it's High Sun, do you consider this somehow?




Oh yes. Through random dialog, it is possible for someone to "cawl the gawds!" which adds 40 to my dealer's bounty. That is something upper-class citizens occasionally do, bandits and lower class (like the Waterfront) won't do this.

Shopkeepers can also tempban my Dunmer if he tries to sell to them. "SetTrespassAlarm" is the script for that. This causes them to say "You're not supposed to be in here!" and "Get OUT of here!" Exactly the same as if we get caught trespassing in someone's house, a guard will show up if Snaaty doesn't vacate quick.

Anyway, it's Middas, Last Seed 7, and my elf just won at the Arena again. Two hundred gold, from the blue team. He's got the best intuition for which team to pick. I wouldn't call it luck. His actual Luck is 51.

No. I have Lothran's schedule follow our seasons, as I have done for many years now. Even if I tried I just couldn't follow in-game seasons as they change too fast which would mess with my head; we have winter but Lothran's in Anvil?? Unthinkable!


Cool!

Ha ha I understand. I've considered different seasons by changing settings on my TV for years. Red tint gets used more often during warmer months, blue during cooler months. I also have a couple snow mods for Bruma, which I recently removed for my elf's game because it's currently Last Seed (equivalent to July).

BOT: gamed with my skooma dealer yesterday, who is now in Chorrol. Sold a few vials to the bandits of Crumbling Mine (or is it Cursed Mine? always get those two confused). He was headed into town for some R&R when his game CTD'd.

Sometimes after a CTD I take that as a sign that I've had enough Oblivion for one day. I had lunch and then switched to Baldu's Gate. Huzzah!!

Tirdas, Sun's Dusk 19, 4th Era, Year : I return to Lady's Saga's game today. She is in the town of Sutch, eating some pumpkin.

Saga lives an even more random life than my skooma dealer does. She pretty much just explores. However, lately she has picked up a quest. She's found a Dwarven Cylinder, and somehow now knows about The Orrery. So she's headed to the Imperial City next.

This is what I like; coming up with solutions like this when you have no ability to add mods! Gr8 thinking!


Nice to see that Saga is still going strong. And in the town of Sutch, no less. Would you say it's gameworld lore friendly or is it obvious that it's a mod (different font for writings on signs etc)?`

---------------------------------------
Lothran is now outside Rielle. He went there expecting maybe an ogre and some wildlife, but instead he found himself facing no less than three (3) ogres! Well, at least he did after shooting one with an arrow and another with a spell to get their attention....

Hey, Renee invented the tape on the TV screen mod!

I know, but that tint adjustment was next level goodness

Yeah, there's an entire thread of "pretend mods" somewhere in the archived forums! I seem to recall Acadian and Wyrd and glargg (etc.) also pretended quite a lot, even though y'all had access to the full catalog of Nexus and PES back in those days.



Even with mods, I still do this one: when entering a cave, a fort, or some ruins, I push some buttons on my TV remote which makes interiors darker. Bc mods like Darker Dungeons don't go far enough for me.

However... if I'm with an elf, such as Lady Saga, I won't darken lairs. Elves are supposed to have slightly superior vision in the table games, see.

Hmm, where is Rielle? Okay, well somewhere near Bruma. Saga is nowhere near. Last I saw, she's about to enter the second zone of Linchal. Necromancers in there *shudders*

If Saga is a summoner, she can sneak around and summon something and then just sit back and enjoy the show

That's her method, crow. Sneak up on an enemy. Loose an arrow. If the enemy survives, summon a bear (Witchcraft) or summon five rats. 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀 She can go invisible, use a poison, or simply run if all else fails. I've got a couple videos showing how she does it, somewhere.

"How do you do?"

Right now she's in Arpenia, in the province of Valenwood. The mod author for Valenwood Improved really did a top-notch job with Arpenia, which is the immediate town south of Skingrad. I mean, Arpenia is really pretty. Lots of NPCs, an imaginative landscape (town is built on the side of mountain). The road through Arpenia criss-crosses up the mountain.

Unfortunately, he abandoned the project. Rest of Valenwood is buggy and half-finished. Anyway, she's got a house in Arpenia where she stores all her riches. She doesn't trust banks!

Hey!

Today I'm in the middle of taking a couple Field Hippies on a private tour of the shivering Isles.

Yikes, sorry!

That's great, macole! Don't give your hippies to much Isles grass, though....

------------------------
Today while once again clearing out Plundered Mine, Lothran's Basic Protection spell proved its worth. At one point at the start of the mine, Lothran got knocked down by one of the goblins and before the effect was over, he was hit by another one! All while the ferocious goblins kept striking down on him!
The weak protection of the fur armor was quickly beaten but thanks to the shield enchantment Lothran still had a 45 protection and thanks to the spell his health kept going up and by the time the knockdown effect was over, he was back up at full health!

The rest of the mine was done as per usual and Lothran left it with a good portion of gold and some lockpicks. Next up; Capstone Cave.

Yeah, macole, if the hippies get too much grass they turn from field hippies into high elves

So that's where high elves come from. I'll be sure to monitor their consumption.

I like that gif, btw.

Off-topic here but that joke and gif were gold! "High" Elves

And that is how I imagine real life Buffs!

Oh my gosh, HIGH elf! I'm a semi-stoner in real life and that never even occurred to me.

[AHEM] my low elf should continue from Arpenia back to Skingrad later todya. I mean today.
