Aravi in Skyrim, her video story Options

[Grits]

Yay, horse!!

[King Coin]

@SubRosa: The horse has no name yet. The undead is a shade.

@mALX: There is a dragon on the rocks in that screen, under the moon on the right. I liked that horse's coloring as well.

@Acadian: Thanks. Aravi still doesn't like horses, but it's more of a necessity in Skyrim than it was in Cyrodiil.

@liliandra nadiar: They weren't difficult for Aravi either.

@Grits:

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

Night sky in Whiterun. This is when Aravi finished the Companions questline. A beautiful greeting home.

Aravi finally has the power to finish off that Frost Troll. Her Thu'um burns it and her swords finish it.

[SubRosa]

So Aravi has been through the desert on a horse with no name? Oh wait, no deserts in Skyrim.

That was some finishing of the frost troll! I have always thought Aravi was a hottie, this proves it!

Aravi needs to cut back on the whiskey, or at least not carry a lit flame afterwards. What did the poor frost troll do to her?

[SubRosa]

Either that or lay off the Doritos...

[Acadian]

What a neat contrast from the hauntingly cold landscape approaching that town, to flaming a frost troll!

[King Coin]

@SubRosa & liliandra nadiar: The next screen will be after she pops a mint.

@Acadian: Thanks!

One of the most unusual Dwemer ruins Aravi's been in.

[Grits]

Wow! These are great. Aravi vs. frost troll is my favorite. She's awesome!

[SubRosa]

Whoa, that's a Dwemer ruin! That is the coolest thing I have ever seen in all these Skyrim pics. Like a forest of jellyfish. The mushroom trees remind me a lot of Morrowind and the SI. The glowy effect and tendrils make them even neater. Do the tendrils stun you, like those of a portugese man of war?

BTW, don't they have Falmer ruins in Skyrim? They were that province's obligatory extinct elven race. I am surprised to see all this Dwemer stuff in people's screens. I wonder if the devs just did not feel with coming up with something brand new, so recycled the Dwemer designs from Morrowind?

[liliandra nadiar]

Very cool pic.

@Rosa, apparently Falmer 'ruins' are tied to Dwemer ones. Three cheers for cost efficient strategies? :shrugs:

[mALX]

I love that Dwemer ruins, but is that water? Does Aravi have to be able to breathe under water to explore it? And which one is it? It is beautiful !! There is one Dwemer ruins that crashes my game to the desktop everytime I enter it, but I've been through two others with no problems. I haven't seen that one yet, though !!

Awesome screens !!

I agree. Those are beautiful ruins!

Jellyfish/mushroom trees!

[King Coin]

Thanks Grits!

@SubRosa: That's part of a Dwemer ruin and like I said, it's not usual. I made sure I saved before Aravi touched a jellyfich/mushroom/tree thing, but there was no effect from them.

The Falmer I've learned often inhabit Dwemer ruins, though I have found them in regular caves too.

Thanks liliandra nadiar!

@mALX: It's not water, but it sure looks like it.

Thanks Acadian!

Aravi's been getting around today.

Overlooking a camp at night. Aravi found a nice high rock to perch on.

More typical Dwemer architecture.

In another ruin, Aravi studies an interesting carving on the wall.

Lydia is unimpressed.

What an Awesome close-up of Aravi in that last screen !!! And that nice carving of a Khajiit on the wall too, love that !!

[liliandra nadiar]

Don't think it's supposed to be a Khajiit on the wall, but I can almost hear Lydia. "C'mon already, it's a rock, it can't be that interesting."

[Acadian]

Another great selection of Aravi, scenery, dungeons. Nice to see this Lydia housecarl that folks mention.

[SubRosa]

Great shot of Aravi with the moon in the background!

The carving on the wall is neat, but even cooler is the glowing symbol below it with all the candles.

I second Acadian, so that is this Lydia I keep hearing about.

[Grits]

The one with the moon is my favorite, but they all look great!! Aravi is just beautiful. You did such an awesome job with her!

[King Coin]

@mALX: Thanks! I thought she looked good too, and then Lydia had her usual scowl on. I think the carving is a woman wearing wolf or bear furs. I'm not sure what it's of and that is the only dungeon I've noticed it in.

@liliandra nadiar: Lydia just never seemed to like Aravi. She'd always look like that. Aravi finally got sick of her and dismissed her.

@Acadian: Thanks! You won't be seeing much of her anymore because her attitude never improved.

@SubRosa: Thank you! The item you are referring to is the enchanting alter in the game.

@Grits: Thank you!
I was actually kind of worried that people wouldn't like it that she looks so different from Oblivion when I started.

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

No dragon slaying or troll flaming today. Just enjoying an inn. Even though many of the locals in Windhelm hate anyone that isn't a Nord, Aravi's met some nice people there and has for the most part enjoyed her time there. I think she has another day or two there before she'll finally move on.

So, is that pie just for the taking or what?

That guy keeps staring.

When she can stand his gaze no longer she goes over to the fire.


Oh and we found out casting a fear spell on someone is considered a crime in Skyrim.

Those are delightful! I'm really liking that Aravi's fur now almost looks white and black.
