Acadian: That one sword polishing pose is always guaranteed to get a good picture for every character.

Those are mammoth heads on the walls in the Vigilant pic. I believe they are added by Fort Dawnguard Improvements, which spiffs up the vampire hunter base quite a bit.

I think everyone knows who Serana is by now!


Grits: "At least this one doesn't suck blood..." Is probably what Tolan was thinking.

I liked the dark colors of Serana vs. the grey of Persephone, turned bright white given the arctic sea background.

You called it on Asherah's choice of hairdos! She is a teenager, so she has to be a rebel after all... It was supposed to be lavender in color though. Creating new colors in Skyrim is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates. In spite of how it may look like in the CK, you never know what you will get in the game itself.



Asherah knows how to deal with hostile mages.

But she still prefers the personal touch

Asherah's weight loss program

I used TFC to sneak a peek into the boss room of Avanchenzl. The two extra Dwemer Mecha are from the broken cimematic that never runs, and disappear as soon as you actually walk into view of them.

Here they come!

Great shots, all. I love how screenshots 2, 3 and 5 really show off the detail of Asherah’s armor – especially #2 (Personal Touch). Wow.

Home of the Transdwemer space ball automatons!

Nice to see those colorful Viking shields again.

I used TFC to sneak a peek into the boss room of Avanchenzl. The two extra Dwemer Mecha are from the broken cimematic that never runs, and disappear as soon as you actually walk into view of them.

I've found those two "alive" but immobile and invincible with a couple of characters. It's a real pain if you have a follower as he/she will attack them endlessly and it's hard to persuade him/her to give up and follow you out.

I've also found Breya alive, and watching apparently in complete boredom, as I've battled the one centurion. She couldn't be spoken to, and didn't appear to affect anything. This quest does seem buggy!

[King Coin]

That vigilant isn’t being very vigilant!

Hood to hood is very neat. White and black.

Asherah is looking cool in her fancy armor. The hair style makes her look a bit more reckless than her mother.

Love the wards! They always look pretty when you take a screen of them.

Personal touch is fantastic with the pose. Nice cape too.

Wow, there’s supposed to be 3 centurions there?

[ghastley]

@King Coin: There are four centurions. One is already "dead", and there's a dead body of Breya, and the one that survived that battle is the one you fight.

In addition, there's a complete set of ghost versions for the cut-scene that was cut. So two more (ghost) centurions, and another (ghost) Breya.

In my case the dead Breya wasn't dead. I don't think I've ever seen two of her, live or not. The dead centurion remains dead (like Generalissimo Franco!)

[Grits]

Woo, Hostile Mages is my favorite! What a great shot!

Like Acadian said, I love the detail in Personal Touch. That sword looks awesome with her armor.

Goodness, that ghost struck the perfect pose! Like he can’t believe he got a sword through the spectral gut.

It’s been ages since I went into Avanchenzel. I wonder if anyone has fixed the cinematic. I’m guessing it’s Breya’s death scene?

Oh my gosh, skellie swarm! That’s a fun shot. I’m sure Asherah sent bones flying all over the snow!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: The quality of detail in the mail links is really something. I am guessing the person who made it used a picture of RL mail armor to make the texture from.

I love that red and white viking shield too. That is one of my favorites from the Matherian shield mod.


ghastley: I remember you commenting on your weirdness in Avanchenzl. That is what prompted me to use tfc from far away and go look in the final room, without triggering anything.


King Coin: Asherah is a bit more reckless, and free-spirited, than dear old mom. She is a teenager after all!

I liked that cape. It is the Pearl Cloak from the Velvet Cloaks mod. But it seems to cause a major FPS hit for me. Or maybe it is the 360 Walk mod I was using with it to keep the feet from going through cloak. So I stopped using it.


Grits: I love using wards, and taking pics of them.

I hunted for that sword. It is from the Real Silver Swords mod.

I love that surprised look down from that ghost with the sword running through him.

I wish someone would fix that final scene in Avanchnzel, since obviously Bethesda is not going to do it. But if they have, I do not know about it.

I love Skellies. They are such fun to fight. And in Skyrim they have those nifty shields thanks to my Matherian Shield Lite Mod.


Persephone stands between the darkness and the light

I spent some time back in Cyrodiil visiting with Astarte

Blasted Archers!!!

Two to beam up!

Devana is a new toon I rolled to beat Oblivion

Blasted Archers!!!

She'll be all right, they missed her knees.

[Acadian]

Purse-phone’s coloring really fits there between the snow and rocks.

Nice to see the Arimer Queen Astarte again!

Yeah, those pesky archers. . .

So you rolled a new OB toon to beat the game with! Welcome Devana. That guy with her looks ever so much like our pal Jean-Luc. The last picture almost has a ‘steel kimono’ flavor, enhanced by the flowering tree behind her.

[King Coin]

I think Aravi and Lildereth were just at that same place in the first picture.

Ahh, fond memories of Oblivion. I may just have to accept that Aravi will look funny again and play some Oblivion soon.

Good thing the arrow hit something solid!

He looks like my favorite captain in that one!

Her armor looks like it fits in the realm of Oblivion.

[Grits]

Persephone doesn’t need snow camo. Her outfit blends well in a lot of places.

Yay, Astarte! I’ve always thought she is so beautiful. She looks very pensive sitting there with her really big sword.

Lol, the archer shot is awesome.

It’s Captain Picard! How did that happen?!

Ooo, a blasted archer! She looks interesting. I like her dark eyebrows. It seems an odd thing I know, but there it is!

[SubRosa]

ghastley: Good thing those knees are intact! She doesn't want to join Hitler in the city guard!


Acadian: P9 is one of my snowy characters. She fits in with the arctic areas so well, because of her appearance, and of course because the cold does not bother her!

It is so nice to have brilliant trees again! The landscapes in Oblivion are so much more picture-worthy all on their own than in Skyrim.


King Coin: The first pic with Persephone was at the top of Volskygge, where a Dragon Priest is lurking in that stone coffin.

The Khajiit do look a lot less... good in Oblivion than they do in Skyrim. But there are mods out there to tweak their appearance. Or maybe you could play another character!

Come to think of it, Jean-Luc probably is my favorite Captain of them all too. Though I do have to admit I liked Will Shatner's Kirk in the original series. He was a lot more serious and focused there than he was in the films in the 80s.


Grits: That is one of Astarte's happiest looking moments as well! I think she is in competition with Princess Grumpy to see who can scowl the most...

Captain Picard comes from this mod, as does Sean Bean as Martin. I found it a long time ago and could not resist. Now the faces match the voices.


Even the wayshrines cannot contend with nature

City Isle Sunset

This is not what Devana thought being someone's dream girl entailed!

Relaxing in her new home in Cadlew Chapel

Saying hello to the locals on the way south.

[King Coin]

Sunset is my favorite one. Beautiful sky and nice pose.

Ahem, dream girls are never naked….

I think I remember your house mod. That was the chapel that was destroyed, correct?

[Acadian]

I love how the tree and shrine have blessed each other!

Nice sunset by the Imperial Isle. Is that Nico’s Dreadweave bow I spy on Devana’s back?

What’s the story with Dreamgirl? Is that by chance Henantier’s dreamworld?

Oh, I remember when you so thoughtfully purged and repaired Cadlew Chapel – It still looks great, as does Devana relaxing there.

Aww, just a simple girl and an encounter with a four footed friend.

[SubRosa]

King Coin: I have always loved the sunsets in Oblivion. It is still my favorite for when it comes to just looking at the scenery.

That was Cadlew Chapel, which normally hosts some necromancers and their smelly servants.


Acadian: I had not really thought of it that the tree and shrine blessed one another! I love the idea!

That is Nico's bow you spy indeed. It seems to go nicely with the red and black silverlight armor.

Dreamgirl is indeed form Henantier's Dreamworld. It has been a loooong time since I did that quest. It was a lot of fun.



Devana found a big surprise in a little Ayleid ruin in Blackwood (added by Unique Landscapes)

Devana tried on a new set of armor.

Finding a friendly face in a necro dungeon

Reach for the sky

Larry, Curly, and Devana?

Yikes! I guess Devana will have the king crab special?

The new armor looks very neat. Kind of the color/aura of mithril, the detail of elven and the fit of ebony. Very nice.

Love those orc adventurers! They’re usually no problem in most dungeons, but in vampire or marauder dungeons they sort of blend in with the indigenous foes and when you’re a sniper. . . well let’s just say that a couple have accidently fallen victim to shoot first, ask questions later in our game.

Reach for the sky – bow in one hand and a spell in the other. It just doesn’t get any better than that!

How funny! Three amigos outside the SI! Nice to see our friend Gaius Prentus on duty. As for the Khajiit, you can't see her. No one can see her.

Yikes again! Slaughterfish! How does Devana deal with them? An absorb health spell like Buffy or Aela might use?

On the lookout - a great panorama of the mid-Niben near Bravil. Wonderful area.

Oh, is Devana a Breton? Or perhaps an Imperial?

[King Coin]

Oh my. That is a big mubcrab. I would probably delete that if I ever installed that mod. It was fun as an easter egg in one of the caves.

What a pretty set of armor! I like the red and black one better though.

I liked those wells, even though I nearly never used them. They were helpful for Atronachs.

That poor Khajiit looks terrified!

That is NOT want I want to see when I swim!

That last one is beautiful!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Devana was definitely feeling a bit crabby after that encounter...

Devana might have shot that Orc Adventurer too, but he actually ran over to attack a necromancer, and she saw the silhouette of his battle-axe.

Those Khajiit like to sneak. No one can see them!

Devana uses a Touch range Fire spell for those pesky critters that get inside the range of her bow. In the case of underwater, I figure it boils critters.

Devana is a High Elf of course, a member of the master race!


King Coin: That mudcrab was a lot of fun. I was so not expecting to see that when I stepped into the middle of that ruin! It was a very fun chase around the entire place (with Devana being chased of course!). Unlike the giant mudcrab in the vanilla game, this one had a ton of health. It took a lot of steam to put it down.

That Khajiit is invisible, you can't see her. No one can see her!




Since I was forced to by Rihane, Mirocou, and Renee, I rolled a new toon for Fallout New Vegas.

Lonesome Dove is settin' on the porch for a spell

Danger ahead

Settin' on the porch in FONV, waitin' fer a spell is probably not gonna work. No matter how long she sets there, I don't think she's gonna learn any spells.

No matter where ya go, it just doesn’t get any better than a little blonde with a sniper rifle!

Following Lonesome Dove around the desert is great fun!

Love her ‘Beauty and the Beast’ shot at the end.

[Grits]

Catching up with Devana’s Adventures:

Yikes, that is a monster crab! That must have been exciting.

Is that Amelion’s armor? It looks very pretty.

A nice encounter with a handsome orc. Devana’s hair looks gorgeous in that picture! She looks great in leather.

What’s going on in Reach? Is she recharging her stuff from the well?

The look on that Khajiit’s face would be enough to make me walk away. That picture really captures the scene outside the mysterious door!

Big slaughterfish, big dinner. It’s the seafood tour of Cyrodiil!

Lookout is so pretty! That one’s my favorite.

New Toon: Lonesome Dove is adorable! I love her coat! And ponytail! And her big gun.
