Because Every Rose Has Its Video, Rosa's Vid Topic Options

[SubRosa]

Okay, so maybe I shouldn't quote a Poison song in the title...

Since everyone is doing it, I thought I'd post a few vids myself.

This first one was reduced to 640 x 480, as trying to upload it at the original resolution would have taken over 3 hours. This is my current Fallout 3 character Tomoe Gozen. She wears the samurai armor from the Mothership Zeta dlc, and uses the katana from there as well.

Tomoe also found a very fun trap next door:

I also have an old one I thought I would put up. This video was not created by myself, but rather someone else, who sent it to me and gave me permission to post it. It is from the game Rome Total War, and the mod used in the video is all my work: Amazon Total War. It gives a look at just a small slice of what ATW has to offer, showing a battle between the factions of Amazonia and the Greek Cities.

Thomas Kaira: I always hotkey 1 as my healing spell or stimpack. The rest kind of vary. LAME is another of those mods that does not interest me. I find magic to already be overpowered in Oblivion, and would sooner find ways challenge myself by using less of it. Even with my pure mage characters, I find myself specializing in different fields or elements to limit myself. Such as Morrigan, whose only attack spell was Fingers of the Mountain (which I modded to make it actually a reasonable spell).


King Coin: Imoen was the first voice set I ever used for Oblivion, and Teresa the first character I used her on (she is the second Oblivion character I ever played. The first one - Clare - was basically a throwaway character that I learned the game with). In fact, Imoen set the bar so high, that there are very few other voice sets I can stand to listen to.

You are right about the septims. Teresa has 41k right now, which she never spends any of, because she never needs to. She has no need for more money, so the only things she takes are ingredients to make potions with, and few pre-made potions that be useful. Everything else she leaves behind. She also has the Skeleton Key, which makes lockpicks obsolete.

That recharge mod is a bit tricky, as it has several different modules you can use. I edited the simplest one, reduced how much it recharges and made it a novice level spell, and made it into a spell tome that you can buy at The Mystic Emporium. If you want, I can email the .esp to you.


Acadian: Most of the animals you can summon in Witchcraft are like that. Because they are low to the ground, you can shoot over their heads. Unlike summoned undead or daedra. You are right, it is very convenient. The lion can sometimes be tricky because it likes to jump up, and I have not tried it with the grizzly yet (not up to the 100 Conjuration required). The Boar was the best for shooting over, since he is really low to the ground, and never leaps. He was also surprisingly tough.

I know about the acrobatics denocking trick. But I do not have enough hands and fingers to do it, and gave up trying a long time ago. I just shoot the arrow down in the ground. If you hit the grab quick enough, you can catch it before it bounces away. I lose a potion and a charge, but both of those are easy to replace.


mALX: Miscarcand was always one of my favorite ruins, because of its size, and the goblins and undead fighting one another inside.


Grits: I find shooting through the railing to be very tough. Often I find myself hitting the rail instead of the target! But jumping up on top of the rail often ends up in me being spotted. Or at least it did when Teresa had a lower sneak. So sometimes I still go for those shots. Hotkeying the poisons really does make life for an archer much easier. No more opening the menu with every shot and picking out the poison you want to use.


************

Teresa goes deeper into the rabbithole, and actually uses her night eye goggles at the beginning here. Unfortunately I did not think of the video darkening effect, and took them off later.

Teresa faces the Lich King of Miscarcand, in the conclusion of the series. There was more to the ruin afterward, but it just felt anti-climatic to show it.
