Jan looks good in Savlian's old surcoat.

And the Stormcrow helps MartinAkatoshDragonGodofTime squash Dagon and save Nirn! She'll doubtless be named the Crowmeister of Cyrodiil!

[SubRosa]

Renee: I did not do Knights of the Nine. I don't like it how kills the members of two chapels. She's wearing a Kvatch surcoat and everything else is Mithril.

Acadian: It is just a regular Kvatch surcoat, that January enchanted with Sigil Stone to give her +50 magicka.

January will be the Crowpian of Cyrodiil.

[Renee]

As requested, here are some pictures of the finished Kvatch in Renee Gade III's game. This is Kvatch Rising by the way, not the more popular Kvatch Rebuilt, or the Kvatch mod Lena uses. Kvatch Rising has five levels of construction: Vanilla (fires still burn), Vanilla without fires, Bandit takeover stage (the town gets filled with riffraff), Under Construction, and the totally-built town, which I'll show now.

Exterior area.

Overhead view

Strolling into town (Xenagade's wearing nice clothes. She often dolls up in grand towns like this one)

Going to chapel (notice the street signs. All the avenues have names.)

Chapel of Akatosh

On Sundas, the chapel get psacked I mean packed.

Bar Crawl Begins (Kvatch has at least 4 places for libations. This is the lowest-class dive) 🍾

Upper Class Tavern

(Dang. Wish I'd gotten a pic of her getting smashed! She falls over drunk sometimes, but her alcohol tolerance is also rather high these days.)

I'll have the Shrrrrurilies *hic!*

Xena Gade's Kvatch House -- (as always, there are pumpkins on each side of the door, for any character of mine who's got a home).

This house is apparently the "lower class" one, in a seedy part of town, right next to the Arena. There's a quest which allows the PC to get a nicer home (maybe even the castle itself) but she did not want to follow those quests. I think we can become the Count/Countess of the town, but she's not into joining royalty. 👑 How would she be able to adventure if she's sitting on a throne all day?

Her bedroom. Yeah it's a mess!

Warming up for the Arena

(Turns out, Arena matches are only held on Middas. And it was only Sundas at this point.) So...

Heading to Anvil.

It's Kvetch. I mean Kvatch.

Wow, it looks a lot different when its not a disaster. I love the street signs.

The chapel picture is awesome, with the light of the fire illuminating Xena Gade.

That house is lower class? It looks pretty solidly middle class to me. Kvatch must be prospering.

Time to get hammered. I mean Anvil'd.

[mirocu]

Cool pixies! I really like that the trees outside got some green on them as well. It's sutch a shame Bethesda didn't include restoring Kvatch into the base game. Then maybe I would have gotten to it. Maybe...


And I agree; those houses look very much middle class to me. Almost on par with the Skingrad homes. Although I guess their proximity to the arena brings them down a notch.

[Renee]

I agree, the "lower class" home is not so bad. I remember when she did the initial quests so she could get that home, the way the dialog was written went out of its way to make it sound as though she'd be getting some sort of condemned-looking dump! But I agree. It's not a palace, but the place is cozy, with three levels. Respawning Vegetable, Meat, and Alcohol cabinets. Lots of areas to store stuff, but not so many that my neurotic side kicks in.

Renee's game has the fully-finished version, but if I play Saga or Joan's games (which are supposed to be earlier in the 4th Era) they've got bandits roaming their Kvatch!

I should make a video for the Arena match. All of the NPCs are voiced btw, and mostly with Scottish accents!

The Unique Landscapes - River Ethe, we pick up the trail near Meridia’s Shrine.

River Ethe can be seen from Meridia’s Shrine. The trail is on the far

A popular tourist attraction on the River Ethe Trail is the shipwreck.

Stairs aid the inexperienced hiker.

One of many bridges to keep the traveler’s feet dry as the trail crisscrosses the River Ethe

A River Ethe waterfall near Fallen Rock Cave

A favorite honeymoon photo spot when it’s not raining.

Passing a MOO Forgotten Tower. Overnight accommodations are not recommended for the casual tourist.

Passing the Jones Stone

The ruins of Elenglynn where danger abounds. It is an Ayleid ruin after all. Of course, we stop for the night just to get out of the rain.

North of Elenglynn, an excellent spot for that romantic picnic

Weatherleah at last, we stop to have lunch with our friends, the Jemane Brothers. The Jemane brothers are doing pretty good running a business catering to hikers on the River Ethe Trail. They’re thinking of building a couple B&B cabins to accommodate those wishing to spend a night in comfort.

[mirocu]

Wow, quite the modded game you got there. Real pretty


These pics are taken ten years ago but they could just as well have been taken from this Christmas hunt in Pale Pass. That's how tradition bound I am

Wow, Renee your Kvatch looks great!

Macole, your game always looks so darn beautiful!

Mirocu, very nostalgic. Love Lothran's almost never changing routine.

[Renee]

Yeah, your game's really pretty macole. I'll never use Unique Landscapes because it introduces changes which would be too startling. I'm too familiar with the way Cyrodiil's vanilla lands are portrayed. But I do enjoy seeing the possibilities!

You're also not afraid to take screenies while it's raining! No FW 38eee interruptions here!

Wow, that's really neat the Jemanes have something to do in their post-quest world.


I just saw an old screen you posted in the archived forums last night, mirocu. And yes, it does have the same look purported in the pictures posted today. Do you have any pics of Lothran without white hair though? I can't remember his original hair color.

Wow, how the heck did you get him on top of that statue? Doesn't look like the paint brush glitch was employed.

This is about the only one I have of him with his original hair color

I have never used that trick. Lothran does have a few Acrobatics enhancers though and maybe he jumped on a few rocks to get up there. Don't remember.

[Renee]

Purple hair, kewl.

Well here is the Kvatch Arena match.

It went down a bit easier than I'd hoped, and my gaming was sloppy, but that's because of nerves! I knew I was recording so I messed up with the aiming and stuff.

Another thing: Fraps cut off the very end of the video, darnit. It got saved into the Fraps folder but it's only 10 seconds long, and I didn't feel like uploading it. So just imagine the Mythic Dawn agent meets his doom at the end.

[mirocu]

Cool to see it all up and running, and I do like Xena's long hair

[Acadian]

Xena looks great - very Xenalike.

[macole]

Really nice! The video popped up as a YouTube suggested video last night. Will we see more of Kvatch Rising?
After installing an early version of KR, years and years ago I took it out shortly while later. I didn't like the voice acting and some of the self-promoting comments what-is-name inserted.

[ghastley]

There would also have been compatibility issues if any of whats-his-names’s mods were in your load order. His attitude was always that nobody needed any mods but his, so cleaning etc. were bad ideas.

[Renee]

Kiitos varis!

Yah, Renee Gades are all supposed to be my version of Xena.

In fact I do have more Kvatch Rising, I made another video of her just walking around town. Plus I want to do another Arena match. That one was kind of lame. But yah, I'll see if I can post more content this weekend.

Ha ha, ghastley, sounds like you're talking about that guy ... um... His Card? This Bard? Something like that. Anyway, pretty sure I have the Dragons Caption version, which I think did not involve... that guy.

But Haven't had any issues with KRising and it's been in my game for almost 10 years. I've heard what you're talking about though. That guy was suppsosed to be pretty paranoid.

Okay,

Renee Gade III strolls Kvatch. (video)

👩‍🦱

[Acadian]

Great vid, Renee. That all looks familiar so I dug through Buffy's ancient screenshots and found her sitting on a wall in Kvatch after the city was rebuilt. Screenshot.

[SubRosa]

It is neat seeing Kvatch restored to its original beauty and grandeur. I am so used to only seeing it constantly burning.
