Phon, great shots that bring back some memories. We quite enjoyed the Dragonguard DLC. Need to feed that poor horse!

[SubRosa]

Some eye-opening pics! Bring the marshmellows for that Dragon Slayer.

That is my favorite horse from all the ES games!

It's a great horse for sure.
I really like the Dragon Slayer one, I had to go through a couple of dragons to get the right shot...

That first Lopov shot is great! Who is this character? Oh is this Jenassa? Jeez, she looks nothing like the quiet NPC who sits in that Whiterun tavern.

Is that a wyvern? I seem to remember Beyond Reach has wyvern, or some other variation of dragon.

Nice, she's got a crossbow. Don't cross paths with the Shadow at your back.

Cool, I am glad you posted some pictures first. I'll post some this weekend too. You've broken the ice, so to speak.

[SubRosa]

I do not feel very welcome in High Rock.

Wayward Husk is creepy.

[Acadian]

Lopov, those are some very neat screens that cover quite a bit of ground. Your game looks great!

[Lopov]

@Renee - the green-skinned man is called the Custodian and is one of the high-ranking members of the Witchmen, one of the major enemyfactions in the Kingdom of Evermore / Eastern High Rock. He is the first enemy that you encounter upon arriving and the meeting is very memorable. Witchmen usually attack in groups, their weapons are coated in poison and they use mostly freezing magic.

The flying creature is a gryphon, the supposed guardian of the Kingdom of Evermore. Over the course of the story, however, one learns that the gryphon's alignment shifted because he got tainted due to vile acts being committed in the Kingdom, so he's far from being a guardian, in fact he's allied with demonic forces that orchestrate events in the Kingdom. Close to the end of the questline one needs to slay it.

"My" Jenassa is also quiet but if you mean that she looks different appearance-wise, it's because I use a mod Total Character Makeover. Otherwise, the only thing that I edited, is her warpaint. When fighting against wild forces, she prefers to look wild as well.

@SubRosa - the mod author made sure that you don't feel welcome in High Rock during the course of the entire questline. If one plays as an Orc, for instance, the main questline as such can't be completed, there's instead an alternate questline, where you join the Sons of Orsinium and participate in an attack on the Kingdom. Because Orcs are in all settlements except in the very first one, attacked on sight.

Wayward Husk is "one half" of the corrupted soul of the Prince of Evermore, the other half is called Wayward Ego and is evil, whereas Wayward Husk is supposed to represent his good part. Or something like that. The story of Beyond Reach is very complicated to understand and there are some areas where not even I'm sure that I understood everything correctly. There's also Wayward Brother, who is supposed to be the actual brother of the Prince whom he sacrificed to reach demonic powers. We'll meet the brother shortly.

@Acadian - thank you, Acadian! This time I'm mostly focusing on taking screenshots that capture the feel of the land instead of telling an actual story or posting dozen of shots from one battle, for instance.

Death in the Reach

The event of the Orc being tortured out of fun from the residents of Arnima, can conclude in five ways. The first one is to simply ignore it, the second one is to ask the skinner if one can join and then the player can torture her as well. The third one is to try to convince the skinner to let her go, but one needs very high Speech skill to succeed. The fourth one is to attack her torturers but that causes an entire town to turn hostile and fails some main quests. Obviously, Jenassa decided for the fifth way - she "freed" the captive by killing her, sparing her of further torture. She got some rude and threatening words from the skinner and from the Lord's guards. Now whether this was the best possible solution, it's hard to say, but to Jenassa it felt the most appropriate.

[Acadian]

Wow, this set of shots really highlights how modded your game is. The 'feel' is Skyrim but many of the specifics are unfamiliar. I do recall that Jenassa was Buffy's fave of the vanilla companions.

[Renee]

Yes, Belize's portrait is pretty. You are right; the mod author(s) were definitely better at the artistic side, because as you say the quests are a mess. Wow, look at that manor in Summit of the Lord.

But yeesh, public torture. I'll definitely pass on Beyond Reach!

Jenassa looks like Jenassa today. Just more war paint.

I do recall that Jenassa was Buffy's fave of the vanilla companions.

Jenassa was the first person one of my early characters hired. She's so awesome.

[SubRosa]

Beyond the Reach sounds like a mod I definitely do not want to play. Too grim for my tastes.

Eternal smile is quite a grin!

Public torture of orcs. These people are pretty vile.

Time to flood the Screenshots thread all the sudden with my own toon's escapades. Kidding. The pics below depict Sir Davor Vyvoor in action. I created a bounties mod last year which is repeatable, as long as the "boss" of some locations has respawned (and is therefore re-inhabiting some location). As we can see below, Vyvoor first gets a writ from the Questing Agent of Whiterun, before heading off to take care of the Captain of White River Watch.

Questing Agent of Whiterun

Err, Silent Moons Camp

The Writ

Oops. Silent Moons Camp. Although below there are pics for White River Watch.


Sir Vyvoor faces the Captain

At this point, both Vyvoor and the WRW boss were standing on the very precipice of that cliff which overlooks the valley below. One wrong step, and somebody would fall. Would this somebody by Vyvoor, though?

"I'll have your head on a pike!"

FUS!!!

Free falling...

.......!

A true Nord keeps his weapon, even as he heads to Sovngarde!

THUD -- (the rest of Vyvoor's party are there having dinner as the boss fell right beside them!)

Kw3$t Upd4t3

Vyvoor'd

[Lopov]

This set of screenies made me laugh! Not only does he get Fus-ed from the cliff, you captured his flight down, only to land close to Vyvoor's team. Thank the Divines that he didn't land on someone's head. But you're right, he really hold his weapon all the time. What a pwnage!

[SubRosa]

More toon escapades! I can't wait to see what Sir Vay has surveyed since we last had an update on his adventures.

Questing Steward of Whiterun kind of looks like Ahnold Swarzenneger.

Shouting people off of cliffs is what Unrelenting Force is all about! You could do it in Assassin's Creed Odyssey too, with the Sparta Kick ability.

I love that he fell right next to Sir V's bros!

Pwn'ed 'em, and now time to load up on carbs for the next adventure!

[Acadian]

Oh, I remember that boss - just you step outside the exit for that dungeon and the area looks out over Whiterun. Good fight. Nice delivery of the body - so Vyvoor's posse can loot the corpse for him.

[macole]

Great timing on the Head On A Pike shot.

[Lopov]

@Acadian - the entire questline takes place outside of Skyrim, so there are some similarities at times but overall the mod author did a good job by creating a unique feel of High Rock.

@Renee - content-wise quests aren't a mess but in my first playthrough with Souissi 4 years ago I was plagued by bugs and glitches. This time, however, the mod is bug-free, I only had one CTD, apart from that everything works normally and quest stages trigger properly.

@SubRosa - all hard-to-swallow content can be turned off upon starting the mod, the player has an option to censor such events like public tortures. But you're right, people of Arnima are very vile indeed.

Aww, poor Vigilance.

Some creepy foes – like the tendrils and wayward brother.

Those tendrils are creepy AF.

Shadow is a great pic!

Wayward Brother is also creepy AF.
