Aravi in Skyrim, her video story Options

[liliandra nadiar]

I would say it would depend a bit on how you're planning to take her. Is she full on Dragonborn or just another cat? If doing the MQ, starting when she comes out would be a fair place to start. Otherwise, find a random spot on/near the boarder and 'walk' her into Skyrim.

[Grits]

Nice! I haven't found any birthstones yet. I guess I should go out more at night.

I think you could go either way with the videos, like liliandra said. You could even take some liberties with the story line if she's Dragonborn, have her do some things in Skyrim and then go back to the opening sequence. It really depends on what story you want to tell.

[Acadian]

More fun screens. Eeep! (dragon) Brrr! (snow).

I don't think I would start over. In fact, I would try to avoid wrapping yourself in long storylines. Short adventures and random hikes and stuff to show off Skyrim.

[mALX]

I wouldn't start it again if I were you. If you are going to follow the main questline, why not show it? Or is it all just one dragon slaying after another? What about doing one of the factions?

Ooh, is that Mehrunes Dagon's Shrine? I plan to visit the site directly behind it again for personal reasons, lol.

I love the screens - and you found Solitude !! I walked around with it on my map and could not find it to save my life !! (and I wasn't the only one, either.) I have absolutely everything in that area there on my map except Solitude itself, lol. My fave is the Solitude one, really nice !!

I'd like to follow the main questline so I'll reset when I begin. I'm not planning doing just the main quest though, she'll do other things as well.

The birthstones only shine like that when you activate them. So going out at night and looking for a beam of light in the air won't be much help. Aravi found the Atronach stone as well.

That was Mehrunes Dagon's shrine.

Aravi had a difficult time finding Solitude as well... then she looked up. That was an amazing moment.

####################

Aravi was headed to Riften and happened across some hunters bathing in a hot spring.

She joined them.

Drying off before hitting the road again.

[SubRosa]

The hot spring is really neat. I see they have bikinis in Skyrim!

[liliandra nadiar]

I've found that spot. Though there was only (I think) a Redguard woman there when Chloe and Lydia passed by. Of course it was night time when they did. Still, it helped wash off the sweat from fighting a dragon a bit before.

[Acadian]

Luved the hot spring screens. Warm water, a pile of clothes on the rocks, what's not to like?

[Grits]

Hot springs!! I haven't found those yet. That looks like a great place for a long-term camp.

[King Coin]

Thank you everyone!

@liliandra nadiar: Aravi was passing by and heard that dragon bellowing and circling over that area. That was kind of creepy actually. It was dark so it was really hard to spot.

Some scenic views today from Aravi's trip around the south side of the Throat of the World.

A face shot. I think her coloring got changed accidentally the last time I went into the racemenu to tweak her. Oops.

[liliandra nadiar]

Well, at the very least, the sceanery's pretty in game.

Chloe found the dragon assaulting the giant camp so she and Lydia had some potant aid, just had to be careful not to get too close to thier camp.

[King Coin]

Aravi tried to help a giant and his mammoths fight off a dragon, only to have all of them pissed at her. She killed the dragon, then had to run as fast as she could away from a giant and four mammoths.

##########################

A beautiful night with a sleeping danger.

[Grits]

Oh wow, I've never seen one sleeping before.

That must have been quite a mammoth chase.

Is her face a little lighter? She still looks beautiful!!

[mALX]

I am stunned by the AI having the people swimming !!! That ROCKS !!! And friendly people too - loved those screens !! Was that a Dragon Priest sleeping? I'd get into sneak and nail them once good before waking them, lol. I've never seen that, usually they burst from the coffin on me, lol. Great shots !!

[Acadian]

KC, those two scenery screens were really neat! I mean, all of them are but I especially liked those two.

[King Coin]

@Grits: Her fur is lighter and isn't as red. I haven't changed it back though.

@mALX: You need to watch out for those hunters, they look a lot like bandits. The sleeping danger I was talking about is on the right side. It blends in with the stone really well.

@Acadian: Skyrim has some very pretty scenery.

#####################

Aravi tires of walking everywhere.

Destroying the undead.

[SubRosa]

I love the grey horse. Did you name it Traveler? (Marse Robert's horse).

Very cool looking - is it a lich? Or a wraith? Well, whatever it is, it is creepy. I like the gleaming black. It is a nice change from the usual muted browns and greys I see in this game.

[mALX]

I still don't see what you are talking about on that screen. Oh, what a gorgeous dappled horse !!

[Acadian]

Great horse! And that lichieghostie thing looks very neat.

[liliandra nadiar]

Oh, Aravi's clearing out Meridia's temple. Chloe fought those guys, they're not much of a threat. Or at least not to a bow sniper.

And mALX, look on the far right, between the moon and the archway.
