It's Chris Hemsworth!

Grits, that picture of Jerric is a great example of why he so readily speeds up Buffy's heart!

[ghastley]

This should look familiar, but not quite.

Greenspring Stronghold.

I just posted the SE version to the Nexus, and I'm trying to figure out what needs to be done for Xbox1. Bethesda have different rules for main images, screenshots, etc. than Nexus does.

Put the XB1 version on Bethesda.net. I'll see how that one goes before doing any others.

Renee: I have actually been working on a story idea with Aela, Ungarion, and Persephone, plus a few other new characters.


Grits: Persephone has frost resistance thanks to being undead, so Serana's Ice Spikes are just an annoyance.

I tried out giving Serana a Wrathman to summon. The second time she used it Persephone must have accidentally grazed the Wrathman with her Absorb Health. That turned him against Persephone, and Serana against the Wrathman. I modded it out of Serana's spell list after that!

After seeing the Soul Cairn, I think any one of its denizens would be glad to be summoned out of there and onto Nirn, even if just for a few minutes. It would be doing them a favor.


ghastley: Greenspring looks very colorful!


Acadian: I am liking calling Durn in for close air support while outdoors. But his drab green skin could use some improvement. I think I am going to look for some retextures.

Wow, I had forgotten just how awesome Persephone looks. The pale skin, the ponytail, the armor- all very cool.

The 3 Stooges is seriously scary. Quick. Run.

Fallen is a great shot. I wish I could hear the sound effect while that big boy went down.

I have played Skyrim on and off for 5 years (more off than on ) and have never seen Blackreach or played Dawnguard. Both are on my must do list for this year.

As soon as I saw P&S locate Arvak’s skull in one or your recent sets I had visions of Ghost Riders.

Woot! So cool to see Persephone using a bound bow. Did you know I’m rather fond of conjured bows?

Mazultoft! Darryl’s brother Ulfar looks great dueling with the steampunk metalhead. I hope after that centurian fell, the girls picked up Grimsever for dear Mjoll (if they hadn’t already). Luvs that dungeon! Plenty of wide open space for a sneaky archer.

Great to see Durnie in action again.

Ancestor Glade is such a pretty place!

Persephone’s new armor looks good!

[Grits]

How funny to see that bandit fly past behind Persephone!

Persephone looks grim and determined in her Unforgiven tribute. *shiver*

New hobby, yay! Bring on the bound bow kill-cams!

Beautiful Blackreach. I love how you composed that picture.

Blue bug swatter, woo! That's what I'm talkin about!! Great shot!

Phantom and Riders are just great. I love the immortal crew that Persephone has gathered around her.

I like the Dragon Carved armor on her a lot. The color is just right, and it has a greater level of detail than her current set, which suits her role as the leader of her undead team. I wonder how Dragon Carved would look with her current boots and gauntlets?

[SubRosa]

The Dragon Carved Cuirass does look good with zzjay's Plate Gauntlets and Boots...

[Grits]

Wow, it really does! I like how the plainer leg pieces draw attention to the detail in the Dragon Carved chest piece. And Persephone's cape works beautifully with the DC pauldrons.

[Winter Wolf]

Thanks Lopov, Acadian, SubRosa, Grits.

I am now running the True Storms mod which makes the rain, snow and thunder sound effects really neat. As SubRosa noted the blue sky days are very similar to Fallout 4, as the engine for both games are now the same. Unlike Fallout (which does not even have snow) this game has much better clouds and sunsets than vanilla Fallout. That game only shines with mods unfortunately.

Special Edition Skyrim (Xbox)-

Which way to go?

Northern Coastline

Bone Altar

Nice Draw Distance

Winter Wonderland

Up in the mountains

Riften house mod

Gosh, beautiful landscapes, Winter Wolf!

Winter Wonderland is my favorite. I love how the new snow looks, and the way the light interacts with the mist and trees. That must have been a lovely walk in the woods.

[Acadian]

Wolf, so nice to see you playing Skyrim! It looks beautiful (and cold!) there!

[Renee]

SubRosa: Excellent I wanna read something about Persephone. And great pics. I love the Three Stooges one and the one in which she's got a "new hobby".

Winter Wolf: Interesting that SKSE does seem to have different draw-distance than the base game, even on PC. I can tell background has more detail, yet it's also 'softened', and not as 'harsh'.

I've been messing around trying to get my Skyrim PC game running these last couple nights, but it's been headache after headache. First Wrye Bash would CTD (solved .... I had LOOT set for Fallout 3 instead of SKyrim). Then my game would CTD on startup. I solved this too, by disabling almost all my mods and rebuilding from scratch. But NOW my game CTD's when saving. :facepalm: I feel confident I can solve this just by Googling like mad.

What boggles me though is that the MCM menus aren't working AT ALL. They don't even show up. Any advice here I'd certainly welcome (yeah, I know....)

[ghastley]

MCM menus require SkyUI, which in turn requires SKSE. They're still working on that, and it will never be allowed on Xbox, so mod-makers are looking for alternatives.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a stand-alone MCM equivalent at some time. Fortunately none of my mods needed it, so most will port up.

[Renee]

Yup, I got both Sky UI and SKSE working in my game, that's what's so perplexing. They're both installed & working. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Sky UI through Wrye Bash, just to make sure. I haven't tried this with SKSE though.

Last May I installed a mod called Better Vampires and it screwed up a few things, I remember that much. It seems to have knocked a few things out of place (from other mod) hence this is why I had to re-add all the mods I've been using from scratch.

Sorry off-topic. I was hoping to have a few pix posted by now.

The sky definitely looks much more blue than 'normal' Skyrim. Some of those places look brand new. But what I am noticing a lot is a fine haze over everything, which I suspect is from fog kicking in at a really close near distance. That would drive me crazy if I were playing it all the time. There is a mod that removes it for the regular game, and the difference after you turn it on is incredible. Unfortunately for me it is one of those things like noticing that the person you are talking to has a pimple on their nose. Once you see it, you cannot un-see it.

[Grits]

Yep, that haze lets them show off their new light effects. Skyrim just got very smoky/humid. It is occasionally crystal clear outside, but with the DoF slider set all the way left in my game, then some distance imperfections (PS4) start to show. Thankfully our PC games can be modded to just how we like them.

Jerric walked around the woods this morning. Again. It was pretty. Again.

Acadian and SubRosa, thank you for your comments on the latest Jerric! I forgot his scars this time. He may be the first to go to the Face Sculptor to get scars put back on!

[Acadian]

What a beautiful misty shot of Jerric and Darnand in the forest! Just lovely!

And, oh wow - new screenshot of the month. Barechested Jerric doing what Jerric does. Buffy hopes someday to find him on PC NA server. She has nearly a whole warehouse of fishing bait on ice stored up for him!

[Lopov]

Jerric walked around the woods this morning. Again. It was pretty. Again.

Pretty indeed. Love the ruined tower in the background and sun rays making their way between trees.

Nice shot of the month but if it was barechested Lildereth...

[Grits]

D'aww, thanks Acadian! The thought of Buffy keeping bait on ice for him warms Jerric's heart. I'm sure he will make his way to the PC NA server some day. He would be there already if it was possible. The requirements aren't steep, just too much to ask of this poor old laptop.

Jerric's and my adjustment back and forth between Skyrim and ESO is not without hiccups. Some of the controls are flipped, so he sometimes stands like a lump with his menu open when he means to rage forth with frost and blade. Also first thing out of Helgen on this SSE journey, he stood on the Riverwood dock still in his second-hand Legion armor trying to figure out how to drop a line in that water.

Lopov, good spot on that tower. They are very near the Where Am I picture. Lildereth has migrated to the Gold Coast for the winter, so she is wearing an outfit almost exactly like that one! Only a little less chest is bare, lol.
