Poor Legionnaires. Paralinque is not someone you want to meet on the road!

[Renee]

No mod that'd add the tfc 1 command, it's actually a quite tedious process - *snip* - in that direction even with tai on.

You are THE man, Lopov. You did it. Wow. So no tfc 1, but you just figured out the next best thing. Yeah, I am going to have to try this for sure.

Yep, that second picture, it's so great to see a slightly offset angle to the camera, as she strikes that legionnaire.

Paralinique is so creepy ("thank you," Lopov says). What's going on in "Soul for Mephala?" What is that on her face?

I am having flashbacks to Luci Pheria, my storybook witch character from my PS3 days. Here, let's have a Luci moment.



Ugh! Freaky! ... Imagine her coming out of your closet in the middle of the night. And in the pic below, she is having one of her weird pentagram ceremonies.

@Acadian - indeed, it's better to avoid her.

@Renee - "on her face" is what remains of shocking magic as she killed the legionnaire though in fact it's on her hand from which she cast the spell.

Luci looks creepy too! What race was she?

How did you achieve the pentagram ceremony?

~~~~~~~~~~

Mephala

No audience

Cultists

To the Imperial City

In the sewers...

...is the Lair of Mephala

At first it may seem like just another sewer tunnel...

...but in reality it's a vile, vile lair

Central room

Eating in good company

The dark cultist

[SubRosa]

Mephala is not exactly what one would call a looker...

No audience with Mephala sounds like a good thing, imho...

That is one vile lair!

Is she eating in good company, or is she eating good company?

And a Lopov shot to end it!

[Renee]

Luci was Dunmer, Lopov. And though you can't tell from that blurry pic, what I did was dropped five torches and then moved them around so that they were equidistant from each other. RP'd that she lit five fires via magic, and then she did whatever she did during her ceremony. :creepy:

Is she eating in good company, or is she eating good company?

This. Where is everyone? lol.

Anyway, it looks like your Dunwich Horror gal has made it home, or at least somewhere she feels comfortable.

Interested in flowers

Bandit on fire

Brewing potions

By the lake in the fog

Brewing some more potions

The night visitor

Another night visitor

At the shrine

No reaction

Time to bathe

The remote inn

Time to sleep

[Renee]

Aww. Frolicking in the fields then are we? Looks fun.

It looks like he has sideburns in the minotaur pic?! Or is that just an alternate hairstyle which puts big clump of hair in front of his ears?

[SubRosa]

Jes is a mixologist.

Yow! Minotaurs! Jes must have gotten up in levels fast!

At least he cleans up well.

[Acadian]

Another long day in the life of an alchemist. Nice shots - love Jes' forester outfit.

[Lopov]

Thanks for your comments!

@Renee - at that point Jes' hairstyle was still vanilla, I think it's called Loose or maybe it's Natural, those two are pretty similar. So his ears are covered by actual hair.

Frolicking in the fields indeed! Time passes fast when one first searches and then picks up plants.

@SubRosa - I'm using Francesco's mod which makes it possible to encounter high-level enemies at low PC levels, so though it doesn't happen often, it's possible to encounter minotaurs at level 1. On the other hand, it's also possible to run into low-level enemies at high PC levels, they don't disappear entirely, neither they suddenly become dangerous like imps in the vanilla game.

He likes bathing in the rivers a lot.

@Acadian - I also like Jes' shirt. Its name and appearance fits well with his way of life, I think. Another thing why I like it, is because it's relatively rare.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Something's not right here...

Though Jes defeated the bandits...

...it was too late for the courier and the soldier *1

Jes wanted to pray...

...but he didn't expect to run into necromancers in such a holy place!

The power of the magic

Underground marvel

Back to the inn

The following day Jes 'borrowed' a boat and rowed to Nenalata... *2

...with a backpack on his back, a reward from the friendly alchemist from the Imperial Bridge inn

*1 - I was surprised that bandits managed to defeat the soldier but that was Francesco's mod at work again because one of the bandits was quite tough to bring down so he was obviously of a higher level

*2 - Rowboats - an excellent mod and though after reading its comments I was sure the mod won't work at all, it works flawlessly for me. You can't see the actual rowing animation but the boat moves in real time and you can command it like you command a horse.

[Renee]

Man you are good with camera angles. I'm sort of boggled how you got that bandit in pic #2, half fallen over.

His game seems as though it's centered around Imperial Bridge Inn, eh? That's a lovely place.

[SubRosa]

Jes found Cadlew Chapel. Ewww!

I remember that place in Underground Marvel, where the guy from the inn sends you.

The rowboat is cool, as is the backpack.

[Acadian]

Aww, too bad about the soldier and courier with her horse. It says good things about Jes that he was clearly saddened by that.

That is a fun quest based out of that inn to help the wizard.

I'm glad that your backpack and rowboat mods are working well for you. They look nice.

[Lopov]

@Renee - as soon as the bandit was fatally struck, I opened the console and tai-ed her, that's why she's half-falling in the screenie.

He likes to stay in one place for some time, that's true. Mostly because he explores wilderness for possible ingredients.

@SubRosa - when one must store many ingredients and potions, it makes sense to have a backpack. Most other characters of mine carried on them only what was necessary so they didn't need any backpacks.

@Acadian - the corpse of the courier disappeared in front of Jes' eyes, I wonder if that's because her death makes her automatically respawn.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"I knew I should've used more glue to attach the skull."

Halls of Nenalata

"One of us has to come to the other side."

Back on the boat

Sleeping in a middle of the river

"Good morning!" *1

The strange island

The guard needed some help

The sunken ruin *2

To Bravil

*1 - at this point I changed his hairstyle to one from the TK's hair pack.

*2 - added by Better Cities.

[SubRosa]

That skelly lost her head over Jes

Love the face off across the altar

Never get out of the boat

Neat pic of sleeping in the boat. I top down Lopov-shot!

Like Lum-gro-Barath, it looks like Jes is too sexy for his shirt!

Very cool seeing the sunken ruin like that. Did you tweak the water values in the .ini files to make it that transparent? I recall doing that back in the day.

[Renee]

Hey nice! So you could get some 3rd person shots of Jes in his boat!

Fun to see him racing through Wendir, I mean Nenalata. Getting hit by lucky arrows (not by skilled archers, but lucky arrows).

Is he going to Shivering Isles? Looks like he started to, but changed his mind. Which is okay. I like seeing him in these pastoral settings.

[Acadian]

Yeah those skellies are tough to keep together without their fleshy bits.

That boat is quite handy!

Ahhhh, to Bravil! The beautiful little forest city of Mara, kissed and cleansed by the Niben itself. Of course, having been born and raised there, Buffy's view may be a bit influenced by nostalgia....

[Lopov]

@SubRosa - I use two mods that change the water, namely Better Imperfect Water which improves visibility and Alive Waters which adds both flora and fauna underwater.

I tried to watch the video but it says that StudioCanal is blocked in Slovenia.

@Renee - he stopped on the island because he noticed many unusual ingredients, he didn't intend to go to the SI. Not yet.

@Acadian - Better Cities (I don't like the word 'better' ) changes Bravil a lot, in some ways for good, in some ways it goes a bit over the top. It adds a lot of unfriendly folk, clearly involved in shady business, most of them are as rude as Alval Uvani if not even more. It does a great job by expanding the city, though, especially the docks area, and it also adds some short but interesting quests, the 'victim' of one such quests was Jes as seen below.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The story behind today's screenies can be read in the Where are you today? thread, it's a part of the Bravilian maiden quest, added by Better Cities.

Yana

That mod-added quest looks like a fun one!

[SubRosa]

Yana does not look especially welcoming.

Don't just stand there admiring the flowers!

Wow, that was one lucky lockpick!
