First off, sorry it took so long to get here.

I didn't know Photobucket was paid, I must be using its free account (and maybe should delete some of my screens then, lol).

Trying to catch up here:

That helmet on Euryale is one scary F'n helmet! GAAAAH! She is pretty without it on though, lol.


Next:

Moon over Dawnstar is absolutely Awesome!

Aw, did she adopt Lucia? With that mask on, it wouldn't be a wonder if Lucia had night terrors, lol. Is that helm enchanted? A mod? Details, if something looks that noticable, I have to know, lol.


Next:

Loved "Whiterun Sunset!"

Really not sure what I'm seeing at all in "Lending a hand to a Spriggan," but kind of loved the screen anyway - sort of like a Picasso, lol. Was the glowing white a sword? What was the pink glowing underneath? And was that a Hagraven? Very cool screen, even if I didn't know what was going on!

What in the living hell is sticking out of the side of Euryale's head in the "Universal Truth" screen? Do I need my glasses prescription changed? Ahhh, Serana! My second favorite female in Skyrim! (and Lydia is NOT the favorite. That title goes to the Jarl of Solitude, Elisif the Fair. If they could put her looks and soft voice together with Serana's dialogue they would have made the perfect woman).

Elisif:

Coming back to finish catching up, have to close out explorer for a minute.

Grits: Asgeir's tats were added by Male Tattoos by Azquirath. His are the new version, #3. His man-panties were added by the mod. I can probably revert them to normal if I delete some of the files that came with it. The big downside I found to it is that it gives the same tattoos to every male in the game. So it is for screenshots only.

Ivy's poison spells have a been a lot of work. There are so many options for the kind of projectiles, the light displayed in the hand when it is prepared, the shader it applies when it hits, the sounds they make, etc... For example, that first pic of her poisoning the orc is using the Spriggan bee attack, with the Peryite worshipper vomit spit impact splash. It took a huge amount of trial and error to find combinations that look right.

Artemisia/Elenarie both have the Khajiit eyes, and the night eye power that goes with them. I took some more time to flesh out her history now that she is Elenarie. Her armor is named Dagorwende "Battle-Maiden", and it is a family heirloom dating back to the Merethic Era. It has been passed down from one woman to another in the family, who have always been of the warrior caste. The helmet was lost during one of the wars against the Maomer. Likewise her bow Meneluva "Skybow" is also an ancient heirloom. She stole both of them when she was exiled from Summerset. Though she sees them as being her birthright.


Acadian: Asgeir is a big hunk of manflesh to be certain! I used Skyrim to make him because it has beards, and full body tattoo mods.

That loin-kini of Ivy's can be even more revealing that we have seen so far. Sometimes when she bends down to do certain things, the wind blows through the canyon...


mALX: Euryale's armor comes from Medusa Drakul armors. The moment I saw that mod, I knew I had to create a character who would wear it.

She did adopt Lucia. My characters have a hard time not adopting her and Sofie, given their sad stories.

That is a dead Hagraven in "Lending a Spriggan a Hand." The hagraven has a ice spike still stuck in her, and the pink glow is from a Weakness to Frost spell.

They did go to a lot of effort to make Elisef look good. I would probably like her a lot more if there was something between her ears though. She just comes off as such a dunce, especially after doing the Bard's Questline and she wants to have the Burning of King Olaf festival every week.

Relaxing with a bear

Where did you find BEAR poses? I could probably use a few.

[Acadian]

Gosh, Ungarion looks so dapper!

Love Aela’s outfit (of course) and her critter pals - adorable poses!

I also think the smaller staves that both Ungarion and Aela are wielding are great improvements over the towering gnarly tree things in vanilla.

[King Coin]

It is nice to be back. I'm sorry I have not been able to keep up on your (or anyone's) threads for the past month, I've been so busy with school. But it is all finally done!


Ungarion! A surprise to see a male from you!

Like Acadian, I love Aela's outfit. A classic! I too like the unique looking staves.

Okay, more free time to try and catch up:

I’ve got a free account with Photobucket, but am still aggravated by their constant crashes and new layout. They finally fixed the “View as slideshow” feature so it works again.

I didn’t realize it was crossing into their camps that bugged the giants, came trooping in like it was nothing to get a look at a statue made of mammoth bones and had to flee up a steep mountain side. It took forever to kill the giants, I was stuck in a crevice on the facing of a mountain for hours and seriously thought of reloading several times (but was dying to find out what kind of loot a giant may have in its camp or on their person).

D'Eon was a party animal! My inns look more lively because a while back I created a mod for myself that adds more trainers. I put most of them in the inns, so it has the added side effect of making them look busier.

That is Awesome! I would love to know the name of that mod for future reference - love the look of your crowded taverns so much better than the stark (3 men sitting on a bench staring or 2 men doing some weird drinking/dance action ) - really loved the look of your taverns!


I had the same issue with FONV losing the hub a couple times, but can’t remember where it was or what I was doing - had to reload a previous save too.

Now to try and catch up:

And as soon as I saw Euryale’s armor I realized I’d already commented page 37, ROFL !!! Okay, on to page 38:

Oooh, I never found water-walking in Skyrim! How did you do it? Awesome!

I like the Oblivion Aela best, she looks taller and longer haired on Oblivion (like I picture her in my mind). She is one of my favorite of your characters after Teresa.

LOVED “Not Superman’s” - gorgeous place, I don’t think I’ve seen that place in Skyrim! Wait, you are INSIDE Azura’s star? A soul gem? Oh, how very cool! Skyrim seems to like taking the player’s soul away, it seems to be a theme running there! Lol.

LOVE that shot of Azura! These screens have made me want to yank out Skyrim and play the Azura quest now!


Next:

Her game ran out of steam, or the questline was a bit of a letdown. To me, 4 quests to make Arch Mage seemed a bit...precipitous. I had a distinct feeling of dissatisfaction at the end of that questline, like I didn’t do enough to deserve the title.

Oh, love that closeup of Aela’s face and hairstyle - pretty!

“Searching for her mother” - this is my absolute fave, what a fantastic shot that is speaking the title in the expression on her face, in the setting and view she is looking down on - I am so wishing you would do Aela’s story when you finish Teresa’s ... please?

Aela i gorgeous in “Smackdown!”

“Fight for Skyrim’s Freedom” This has to be the ULTIMATE action shot of a glimpse into that battle (one I haven’t done yet). AWESOME shot, one of my all time favorites!

What’s that guy doing on the table? Huh? Gotta love that shot, I don’t know if I’m seeing a drunk Nord dancing on the table or if he is attacking Aela! Love that shot!

antennae style pommel

Imagine doing an upthrust into someone’s chin with that hilt! WOO HOO!


“Liberating Solitude is hard enough, without Jaree trying to recruit Hrafn to help him plunder a ship!” - SPEW!


Very cool on Hrafn’s marriage! Well, I just learned there is a way to marry Elisif in game, she is def going to be my first test into the marital waters of Skyrim, lol. Maxical hasn’t seen a man in Skyrim she could stand to wake up next to and see first thing in the morning yet, ROFL !!! (well, other than the Psijic priest from the College, but he disappeared). She decided not to marry till some mods came out that made better looking men.

Next:

What the hell is that thing? I’ve never seen one of those in game ... thank goodness! It’s a toad? Urk!

An Ash Spawn? Is this from the new DLC that adds Vvardenfell? AWESOME!

LOVED “Move Over,” ROFL !! Your titles are hilarious, and fitting!

Dunmer tombs? This MUST be DLC !!! GAAAAAH! I see my credit card leaving my purse shortly! Urk!


Next:

“Sister Nord” - LOVE Hrafn’s helm, it looks like a Khajiit head!

Oh, a Silt Strider - is that the horny toads above? Lol.

Belladonna - isn’t that a kind of poison (I ask after seeing a dead contorted body she is walking away from), lol.

What is a Maomer? I like how the same dead body is in the background, lol.

Did she drink the poison? Either way, I love her green glow!


Next:

GAAAAAH! She can cast poison? AWESOME !!!!

Love this next shot, what a fight !!

The “Swim” shot is funny, she is in position but unless you look close you can’t tell she is under water! Your water is a lot clearer than mine in game, is that a mod?

Here is Asgeir, who will appear in the upcoming Aela Fic

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AELA !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Thank you !!!!!! Good looking guy too, but ... “AELA’s Fic !!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO !!!!

“Naked Asgeir” reminds me of an Jerry Seinfeld episode where he was nude and trying to open a jar of pickles, ROFL !!

Cyrodiil !!! And another character supporting Aela’s story - I can’t wait !!!! But the day Teresa ends will be a very sad day.

LOVE Elenarie’s armor!

Lara - SPEW!!! Headlights? No, “Points of Light,” Lol.


Stopping for now, I’m getting slap happy. I will keep catching up, though - Awesome thread !!!

[mALX]

*

I love the look of that Medusa armor without the helm, it is gorgeous! The helm adds a whole new element, changing it from beautiful armor to “OMG! What the hell is that coming toward me? GAAAAAAH!” - great for psychological warfare against your enemies! I am def keeping the armor in mind, it is gorgeous!

That dead Hagraven shot - that was a study in awesome! I would have never guessed what any of the glowing stuff was, that shot was wild!

I liked that quest, helping the Hagraven, lol.

Well, I have to agree about the weekly festival. Once a year, yes. Once per season - maybe. Once per month - getting ridiculous, but okay. Once per week? “Elisif, do we need to call in the healers?” - but without mods she is the prettiest thing in Skyrim. The vanilla game has all the men filthy and looking like there has been a bit of inbreeding going on. In contrast there was Elisif, looking immaculate and fragile, sweet. Male or female, my character was marrying her if it was possible. (and just found out it is, WOOOOOOT!)

Nice shot of Ungarion! I love that outfit on him!

Now look how intriguing he looks in the first shot, then stick him back in his old clothes and he goes back to looking bored and distracted! How odd is that, how did you get him to change his attitude for that first screen?

I LOVE this Aela, it looks exactly as I picture her. Love this shot with the wolf!

I’ve seen this “Relaxing with the bear” recently, did you post it in your story? Nice pose !!!

Oh yeah, Aela looks mad in this one!

Awesome shots, all - and finally caught up!

I’m sorry it took so long to get caught up, I am drastically out of time lately. It was really nice to find a free minute and fill it with Teresa and Aela!

[Grits]

Wow, I like Ungarion’s adventuring gear! It looks great with his staff.

Whoa, does he have purple eyes? Nice!

I love that shot of Aela with the wolf! The one relaxing with the bear is awesome too.

She looks great in her adventuring gear! Quite a contrast to the richly robed Ungarion. Her staff looks great, too, and suits her the way Ungarion’s suits him. Very nice!

[SubRosa]

ghastley: The bear and other animal poses are from the Na Rae Pose 01 Pack. Most of the poses are silly pinup girl stuff, but a few of them are decent.

Acadian: Aela and Ungarion's staves are from Armamentarium Staffs, though I had to do some recoloring of the bits and pieces to get them the way they are in my game. In fact, what I really did was take the meshes and textures from that mod and create a new mod with the retextures I made, since their staves are both unique.


King Coin: Ungarion is a fic character, so I made him just to get some screenshots for later stories. The old Roadstroker outfit has always been one of my favorites, since it looks very functional and relatively normal.


mALX: Yep, giants are almost always friendly if you meet them outside their camps. It is only if you go into their territory that they get hostile. So my characters tend to walk right up to them when they are just walking around.

I don't really have any special name for my trainer mod. I never released it or anything. It has a bad side effect of making some of the other trainers not work, though I have no idea why. It seems trainers from mods loaded before it often do not work. Or vice versa if I use another mod that adds trainers and load it after. It seems that for some reason multiple trainer mods do not always want to play nicely with one another, though I have never been able to figure out why.

I had a lot of bugs with FONV. I think the animals that were halfway or three-quarters underground was the most common one. Sometimes all I would see of radscorpions were their tails sticking up from the earth, like periscopes.

You could see they were really cutting corners with the guild questlines, and trying to make up for it with radiant quests. But the trouble is the way they railroad you down the regular quests. It is like they are jumping on your back screaming "Get it down now!" Taking a break from the main questlines to do radiant quests feels out of character. Then once the regular quests are done, I am left wondering why the ArchMage should be looking for books for the dratted librarian. That's work for an apprentice! I used a mod called Archmage Tolfdir that allows you to make him Archmage at the end of the questline. Though people still call you archmage. You can fix that with these console commands:

player.removefromfaction 103372
player.addtofaction 1F259 4

The Ash Spawn, Dunmer tombs, and so on were from the Dragonborn dlc. It was alright. I did not like the main quest of it. But the island is nice to explore. It does add some nifty new things you can use to create mods with, like a waterwalking effect.

My clear water is from a .ini tweak. Go to your SkyrimPrefs.ini and find this line:
bDoDepthOfField = 1
and change the value from 1 to 0. Then start the game and you should have clear water.


Grits: Ungarion does have purple eyes. A long time ago I added amber, pink, violet, and lavender eyes for the elves. It helps make them look more like... well elves!

She and Ungarion are quite the study in contrasts in may ways. He likes to show off and be noticed, she prefers to blend in with the crowd, etc... That is one of the things that makes them such a great pair.




Not many pictures lately. I have mostly been playing Mechwarrior 2 and MW2: Mercenaries, which don't really lend themselves to screenshots much.

Aela and her crack mercenary team have been defending the Inner Sphere from the Clans.

Aela picked up this neat lantern in a mine added by Unique Landscapes.

Dot has been scavving in the Capital Wasteland

This post has been edited by SubRosa: Jun 2 2013, 01:38 AM

[Acadian]

I'll add that lantern to Aela's outfit and staff on the list of kewl things she has! I was delighted to find that Elsweyr, the Deserts of Anequina has a 'lighting' vender in Corinthe who sells lanterns, differing colored torches and candles, along with all kinds of light scrolls and such - nothing but light-related stuff. The vender has a stand near the orc who sells critters and the Khajiit who sells nothing but cheese - even Olroy cheese!

In some circles, Dot is a nickname for Dorothy. . . as in "Uh oh, Toto! I don't think we're in Tamriel any more!"

[King Coin]

Wow, with how boxy everything is, it’s hard to recognize mechs. Is that an Atlas and a Strider? Can Hardly see the one in the back, but maybe a Vulture/Mad Dog?

Love the little lantern, and the elegant staff. I’d download the lantern mods for Skyrim if Aravi would use them! Pointless though for her!

And I wonder if I’ll play Fallout again. It hasn’t aged well on the Xbox. Maybe I’ll have to buy it for the PC.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Maybe Aela will go exploring Anequina sometime.

I never really thought of Dot as in Dorothy, but it is perfect for more reasons than just the Wizard of Oz one. I actually got it from the movie A Bug's Life. One of the ant characters was named Dot. Why I went with it will become obvious when you look at today's pics.


King Coin: That's an Atlas, and I think a Catapult. The one in the background is a Flashman. The Atlas is probably my favorite Inner Sphere mech. I just love the classic design, it looks like a robot from the 40s or 50s.

I think FO3 still looks very good. I still like how Oblivion looks as well though.



Dot gets a good night's sleep

Boom!

There is a new superhero in town.

"What's a costumed crusader got to do to get a drink around here?"

"You stop eating picnickers, and I'll bring you sugar bombs..."

[Acadian]

So Dot's now an 'ANTiheroine' *groan*. Trouble with that buggy headgear is that it covers up her pretty face! Maybe she could ditch the helmet thing and get a heroine cape (with ants on it of course). Oh, and maybe a couple of ant sidekicks?

[King Coin]

The bears!

Did you use a mini nuke on that brute?

Nice ant costume. That quest was fun. Does that costume make the ants not attack?

[SubRosa]

Acadian: You might say Dot is Antastic! Dot has to wear the mask to protect her secret identity! I did try some ant sidekicks in fact, thanks to a mod that lets you revive dead ants if you have the Entomologist perk. But it was just too overpowered with her having an army of giant fire-breathing ants following her around. So I stopped using it.


King Coin: You have to do something with those teddy bears! Most of my characters collect them. Some of them collect pre-war money instead, and either stack that up on the bed, or on the desk in the same room.

That super-mutant explosion was actually nothing more than a humble frag grenade. The game gives you the most incredible looking explosions if you use VATS to throw your grenades.

I am using a mod that I further modded for the Ant Agonizer costume. If you wear both the armor and helmet it makes Ants friendly to you, and also increases your Damage Resistance by about 12 or 15 points. I changed it to make the armor give you a resistance to radiation and poison, which I think the vanilla suit has. Plus I have the helmet a +1 to Per, since a lot of the special hats do that.


The AntAgonizer has something special for Talon Company mercs.

I guess she is now the Top Gun

The AntAgonizer had her first autograph seeker today

[King Coin]

The missile launcher looks so cool, but I was really disappointed in its damage output. Then again, I don’t think I ever had a character specialize in heavy weapons. Small guns were just too easy to find and had much more variety.

Nice Top Gun pic.

I wonder what happens if you give the kid the suit?

[Acadian]

Antastic! I love it! Oh, okay, the secret identity and all makes sense. Her secret’s safe here on the forum. Any chance of freakin’ laser beams from her. . . oh well, I guess not – that would be jumping the shark, no? Hey, some of those places in DC look familiar!

Aww, signing an autograph for only ten caps.

Great pix. Looking at the grass and rocks, I can see why some folks have told me that FO3 is sort of like OB with gunz.

[Grits]

Ant-astic!

Fun to see the AntAgonizer at work in her world.

[SubRosa]

King Coin: Few of my characters have ever put enough points into Big Guns to make them really worthwhile. I have tried playing Big Gun characters, but there is never enough ammo for them to base your character around them. So I only use big guns if I find them in loot, shoot them off a few times for the big booms, and then sell them at the first merchant.

I was tempted to give the kid the suit too. I wonder if you actually give it to him, or if it is some kind of way of taunting him? If it happens again and I have time to save first, I'll try it and see what happens.


Acadian: Actually, Dot... erm, the AntAgonizer did pick up the TriBeam Laser off a Super Mutant a while back. She does not use energy weapons though, so it's stashed away back in a locker at her Megaton house.

Fallout 3 is Oblivion with guns! Seriously, it is practically the same game, there is just more shooting and blowing things up. Plus the attitude is more bleak and the morality tends to be more ambiguous. But you can still play a knight in shining powered armor if you want. In fact, it is easier to do in FO3 than it is in Skyrim. You should give it a test spin sometime.


Grits: Playing a super-hero makes FO3 all new again!

[King Coin]

Shotgun pics: Is that the Terrible Shotgun or is it a run of the mill combat shotgun? Either way, that was one of my favorite guns in that game!

Mini Nuke: I never used them! I horded the mini nukes, always ‘saving them for an emergency.’ Even when it was an emergency. Like the teddy bear in the cart cage incident.

In the last pic, it took me a little while to figure out she wasn’t missing an arm.


If you ever manage to get Acadian to play Fallout 3, you would need an award or something.
