That's neat. Definitely reminds me of the SI.

Acadian: Walking with Silt Striders. They are one of the most interesting new creatures in Morrowind.


King Coin: There are even Golden Saints in this game. So you can see where they recycled things for Shivering Isles.


Prytania has been moving along the main quest, and met the last (barely) living Dwarf

From there she broke into Lubyanka The Ministry of Lies Truth to rescue one of the Dissident Priests who had helped her in the past. Here she has some new duds courtesy of the Indoril guards.

Prytania found herself a wanted woman afterward, so decided to lie low in Solstheim.

She found the natives to be friendly. At least the first one she met.

And she found herself a new hat in no time.

Holy crap that dwarf is just nasty. I hope he isn't a representation of his race.

The second picture is very nice. That armor looks neat and I like how she's holding her sword up.

The Argonain in the fourth screen looks very friendly.

[Acadian]

That last living guy was Jabba the Hut Dwarf?
Nice new duds!
I don’t know as I’ve ever seen a MW Argonaut. They look pretty cool.
The new hat may not be the top of fashion, but it looks warm.

That's a neat pose with the sword in the tunnel. I love the colors on the Argonian. He looks very aquatic.

[SubRosa]

King Coin: He is not a normal Dwemer. The normal ones look like ancient Persians. There is a good article about all things Dwemer here. He has corprus disease, which kills most people, and turns the rest into zombies or worse. I guess you could say he is one of the lucky ones.


Acadian: That is the House Indoril armor. The only thing Prytania did not get was the helmet, which has a full-face mask and a big crest. It has some pretty good stats too. Try to imagine Tadrose wearing it, because she would have when she was still in Morrowind.


Grits: That is just the default pose. There are no pose mods for Morrowind, and no free camera either. So taking screenshots is pretty limited. The Argonian is Basks-In-The-Sun. He has a ship that will take you back to the mainland.


Prytania has a new outfit to go with her bear helmet. Much warmer than her old bonemold.

She has been getting acquainted with the locals.

Some of them have quite a stature in the community

Bandits, bandits never change though.

I thought the helmet looked funny, then I see the bear. I would have thought that the bear would take exception to seeing the severed head of another worn like that.

I like the default sword pose in Morrowind.

[Acadian]

Love the new armor! Perhaps that helmet seems to help her get along with the wolves and bears? Ain't it the truth about those darn bandits?

I thank you for showing us some of Morrowind since I don't ever see getting there.

[SubRosa]

King Coin & Acadian: Perhaps the Bear armor makes the living bears think that Prytania is one of them? Playing Morrowind has helped me with the TF, since it really helps me visualize what Tadrose's early life was like - right down to the armor she wore as a member of House Indoril.

I am taking a break from Morrowind, and heading to Skyrim. I found a way to play it without Steam (except for the initial install), so decided to give it a try.

I created Scylla gra-Brimo (Scylla was a daughter of Hekate. Her name means "she who rends" in Greek. Brimo is one of Hekate's appellations, meaning "Terrifying".)

She is a heavy armor / battle axe wielding Orc.

Here are a few clips from Scylla's exploration of Shriekwind Bastion

I have been getting the hang of Skyrim's combat. I found the shield bash works with two handed weapons too. It costs a lot of stamina, but if you time it right, it will stagger your opponent, and then you can follow up with a power attack. I was not able to pull it off against the skeletons at the beginning, but did manage it against the human afterward.

Yay, orcish splendor! Gotta love a woman with tusks.

[King Coin]

Scylla gra-Brimo is a fierce warrior!

Aravi had a much tougher time with her first vampire master. I think Scylla gra-Brimo’s heavy armor was an asset in that fight.

[Grits]

Bashing also works with bows. It’s one of my favorite things. I’ve also seen Vorstag bash with his shield. Rowan tends to stop what she’s doing and just watch him fight sometimes.

Scylla looks great. I love how the steel armor looks on women. Not so much on the men.

[liliandra nadiar]

Remember facing that Master with Chloe, light armor, bow and arrows, it was a long fight with a lot of giving of ground.

Scylla looks great and certainly knows how to make convincing argument.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I mostly like the changes they made to the orcs, by getting rid of the pig-faces. The women look much better. The men all look like the Incredible Hulk now though...

King Coin: Scylla is made to be a pure melee fighter. Heavy armor, and the most powerful weapon available (i.e. two hander). She is not much good at other things though, like magic. She could use a follower who is either a magician or an archer.

Grits: I have to say, I really like the bashing as well. It is one of the improvements in Skyrim that is actually an improvement. It is hard for me to get in the hang of using the mouse key to block though. I used to have that mapped to the keyboard in Oblivion.

liliandra nadiar: So now Scylla is the Master? That was a very close fight even for a heavy armor bruiser like Scylla. Skyrim does not try to balance out your enemies to suit your level like Oblivion did. It is more like Morrowind, and is happy to throw something at you that you have no hope of killing (like 3 Spriggans at once).



Scylla had her first meeting with the Thalmor, when they came out of nowhere and tried to kill her. One of them was carrying her death warrant, although I have no idea what she did to cheese them off.

I saw a mudcrab the other day...

Scylla found a poor lost dog. Well, actually a Daedric Prince's sidekick

These cages remind me a lot of the raider cages in FO3

Does anyone know what these odd circles are?

She leaps into action.

[Acadian]

Thanks for the Scylla update. She is indeed much neater looking than a vanilla OB orc. Does Grits know that she borrowed Ulfe?

She's very good with that axe! Mudcrabs & trolls!

[King Coin]

Odd circles? Yeah they are dragon tombs.

lol, eating all that food while in combat. I don't do that just because I don't like the idea. Aravi has to run away if something like that happens.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I think the real question is whether Grits knows that Ulfe is a Daedra Lord's sidekick?


King Coin: Those are dragon tombs? Interesting. I am playing a dragon-free game, so I never would have guessed.

I have found that running away usually does no good, because everyone seems to run just as fast as you can. It is not like in Oblivion where you can actually be a speedster.

Illia is pretty handy in a fight

Scylla is a hottie!

Even paranoid Baurus couldn't anticipate that one!!

Wow, Illia’s fire is amazing! I haven’t met her yet. That was a neat axe battle.

[Acadian]

The battle between axes was neat. Loved Scylla teabagging dancing over the body of her slain foe.

Illia looks to me quite Cutteresque.

Finishing off the Centurion – looks like she’s going for the stones – good girl!

[King Coin]

Holy crap he hit like a truck! If you have to chug potions like that, I think Aravi would have had to run away.

Like I said before, those two make quite a pair! I can’t wait for Aravi to meet her eventually.

Oh, she's wearing appropriate armor for an orc!
