Screenshots from Jerric's World Options

It definitely gives a look that says battlemage. I would think that the robes should be under the armor, not on top!

[Acadian]

Gosh, those armors look delish! I kind of like the shiny one - in part because I'm a fan of pauldrons. Oh, and I love the mysteriousness of closed faced helms! The robed armor also looks very neat. I agree with KC that it looks very battlemagish, but I rather like the robe on the outside. If you wore it inside, it'd be like any other sweaty undertunic.

[Darkness Eternal]

Wow, Grits. Those are some cool-looking armor. The robes steel-plate armor looks great on our Nord hero. I have to agree with Acadian on close-faced helms. We all enjoy our mysterious helmeted and fully armored heroes going into battle leaving people wondering who the hell is behind that helmet?

This robe here is just awesome. I wish I had mods. I could totally see Raven wearing something like that. The iron bikini is a barbarian man's wet dream. Such a sight would have men's swords raised before they even attack

He looks rough with the tower of the nine shield, and dangerous. It does suit him, in my opinion. Even if he doesn't stick with the robed plate, he has a large variety of outfits to choose from so he can quest throughout Skyrim. I think each and every one of them are just amazing and Jerric is looking good. What a beefcake.

Here are the pictures from this morning’s Lil and Jerric adventure. The story is in the Spoilerific Today thread.

Dammit, Nord! We almost sneaked past this guy.

Wonder who lives way out there.

Lildereth found a fur scarf, but she’s still not a fan of the cold.

Lil stands watch.

Now who are these fetchers?

Is this breakfast or dinner? I could stand another nap.

[Darkness Eternal]

Wow. That mammoth will feed them for days!

That is a great view. I bet what lives out there doesn't like civilization all that much. I think they're dangerous.

Scarf+fireplace+warm tavern= What is this cold you speak of?

By the fire once more. Lildreth knows to be effective in combat she must keep warm.

I like the armor he has on, as well as the outfit she's got.

Brinner! Jerric just left out the mead hehehe.

[SubRosa]

That's a big guy they almost sneaked past! Usually I never have problems with mammoths being hostile, except in giant camps.

Probably best if Lil keeps wondering about who lives in that castle in the sea!

Lil looks very bundled up in that pic!

If I was at that place at night, I would stand watch too. The curly spiky things by the steps don't set one at ease.

I don't recognize the guy in white armor either. Was that one of the thugs?

Jerric is loading up on carbs! Will that increase his stamina?

[Acadian]

Wonderful shots, Grits. I'll bet Lil's pretty unhappy that they had to kill a mammoth. Oh well, much better a mammoth than getting trampled themselves. As as DE mentions, I'm sure the meat and fur will serve them well for a long time. Happily, the meat freezes pretty well up there and Jerric can carry lots of stuff (so can the horse, I'd imagine )

[King Coin]

Standing watch is so pretty! And the bundled up one made me smile. I need to add the crew back into my game after the recent wipe out. *grumble*

[Grits]

Thanks, DE! Lildereth’s armor/outfit was a lucky find, and that’s Jerric’s “get dirty” armor. Lil does not worry about armor rating (it’s so low it practically doesn’t matter) so she wears whatever she likes best.

Rosa, the guy in white armor is one of the thugs. The thug with the contract was at the back of their group and not in the picture but he was also wearing that armor. That’s probably why they didn’t give the usual “We’re here to teach you a lesson” dialog but just attacked. You can see Jerric asleep on the middle right. Increase his stamina, lol. Gods help Lil if it does!

Acadian, the mammoth killing was a heartbreaker. She’s keeping the tusk as a reminder to be more careful. Lil will waste nothing so as you imagined the Nord and the horse are both loaded up. I’m surprised she didn’t make Jerric camp there until he ate it all!

That’s the second time Lil has had Jerric + mammoth problems in that pass. The first one was the bandits vs. mammoth and two giants random encounter, and this one was the mammoth vs two sabrecats one. Both times Lil led them up the rocks (including the horse!) so that the mammoth team wouldn’t see them while they were still riled up after their fight. The problem is that Jerric’s aggression makes him respond to the angry mammoth even though it’s not a direct threat. His aggression gets them into trouble a lot, not just with mammoths and giants. I cannot count the times I’ve seen the message “Jerric is too powerful for your Calm spell,” or however it’s phrased. Now Lil has Pacify so maybe they’ll stop having this issue. She would sit by and watch a mammoth stomp every other idiot Nord in Skyrim, but not this one.

I could set Jerric’s aggression to something rational, but this is how he is. He’s not always an easy friend to have! I think it would be a better idea to try Buffy’s mammoth faction idea. There is no way that real Jerric would attack a giant or mammoth, no matter how angry they were at bandits or sabrecats.

KC, that scarf makes Lil feel like she’s being hugged by a Khajiit. I’ve had other characters find them and they all chuck them at the nearest vendor. Lil put it on immediately! I’ve been reading the old RPs and everyone loved getting an Aravi hug. Sorry about the wipeout, and glad you’re getting back to being able to play.

[Grits]

Here are a few from Lildereth and Jerric's recent adventures.


Steady hands, Nord

Jerric pays his respects

Markarth morning

Waiting for Jerric to catch up. (He finally appeared from the opposite direction.)

All work and no play...

[SubRosa]

Steady hands indeed! It is a good things that unlike real torches, sparks never fall off the ones in the game!

Jerric is worshiping at the West Coast Chopper shrine!

Love the sun over the mountains in the Waiting pic. Don't you love how the companions have a habit of vanishing, usually when you need them the most, and then showing back up when the trouble is all over?

Hippies! I think Jerric likes what he sees!

[Acadian]

Thanks for the pix! Steady hands is so neat in so many ways. The trust that Lil has is the big Nord behind her, the glowy feet and bound bow showing that Lil can get her mystic archer on, the very flammable oil they’re standing in!

What a beautiful sunrise (set?) with Lil waiting for Jerric.

Aww, hot springs.

[ghastley]

All work and no play...

I was starting to wonder what Lil had that the redguard didn't, but she's the new kid in the pool. The redguard's probably getting very wrinkled after the amount of time she's been there!

If a follower is slow catching up, they'll always appear from an unexpected direction, as the delay's been caused by the path-finding picking a weird route. Whenever a character enters the Hearthfires houses, their companion seems to enter through the other doors, and frequently comes rushing down from the upper decks, just as they reach the door from the entryway, colliding in the doorway. Out in the wilderness, they'll have a couple of sabre cats, or a Thalmor patrol, with them.

[King Coin]

These are lovely! Steady hands though makes me nervous...

[Darkness Eternal]

Woah. Nice spectral bow she's got there. I do hope she uses it well and that Jerric won't accidentally drop that torch on the oil they're standing on

Done like a true Nord. Jerric deserves his respect. The gods need worship and it looks like he's being blessed by it.

Burrr. I feel cold just looking at that picture. But Lil and Jerric are dressed up for the weather, though Jerric is a Nord and he doesn't count.

Companions aren't always reliable, are they? And is that cute dog Ulfe??

Wow. Steamy . . . that's not the way to go. I believe it is, "work hard, play hard." This one just oozes with

[Grits]

Ulfe the Colovian Hearth Hound has finally made it into the game. Here she is on the left relaxing at Lakeview with Meeko. She is supposed to run away from combat, so we’ll see how that goes. If I did it right she’ll get to travel a lot with her two-legged friends. If not she’ll get to stay home. I don’t want Jerric getting his head taken off because he’s worried about blasting the dog.

[Acadian]

Yay! Ulfe the Hearth Hound looks great - I love the texture you picked for her. I hope she does get to travel with the big J - if nothing else as a horse guard and tent warmer.

[haute ecole rider]

Yay! Ulfe is officially in Skyrim!

She looks adorable! Did you use the textures from Unique Dogs or did you create your own?

[Grits]

Those are AlienSlof’s gorgeous Better Dogs textures. You can find a link in Slof’s Lair but I don’t want to post it here due to the adult content on her site. I’ve also picked up her skeever textures for Darnand’s future pet.

It’s looking good for Ulfe’s travel plans. My multiple follower mod was making her attack, but without it she behaves the way she is supposed to. As much as Jerric loves hauling the whole crew around with him, he’ll give it up in favor of traveling with his dog.

(And one of his non-dog friends, of course!)

Thank you both! You know how important Ulfe is to the Nord.

[haute ecole rider]

Love, love, love AlienSlof's stuff, both adult and otherwise!

The Oblivion horse textures from her Lair are part of my Oblivion Foundation mods. I've not played without her horses for quite some time now.
