GAAAAH !!!! HOLY COW !!! I nearly had an accident when that giant minotaur suddenly started chasing her and all the doors were locked !!!

[Acadian]

Ooh! I had the same foreboding feeling when Aravi entered that chamber of giant minotaurs. Even though I was pretty much expecting it, I still jumped as much as she did! What a white knuckle fight that was! I hope she didn't pee her greaves!

Congrats to Aravi on that new zoom in perk!

If she didn't, I did it for her !!!

I knew something was up when I saw those skeletons were Fallen Adventurers and not just skeletons. To be honest I wasn't expecting that guy at all. I got an Indiana Jones vibe from the lighting so Aravi was looking out for a trap or something. When the big guy appeared though... well you saw what happened. GET THAT DOOR OPEN!!!!!

I smelled a trap right away too - all that and the minotaur couldn't be looted too !! ARGH !!! Lol.

While I'm getting the next video ready I'll post these screen shots.

Aravi's wearing some new greaves and some fingerless gloves:

The first one is my fave !!!!

[Acadian]

Looks makes the kitty, and Aravi looks fabulous. Great armor, gloves and sword!

I wonder if Aravi's thinking on the fingerless gloves is the same as Buffy's? She wears no gloves or sometimes, fingerless ones (for cold weather). That way, when she reaches into her quiver, she can sense the diffs between the tails of her broadheads and armor-piercing arrows.

Great screenies!

Mine too. The second one was to show the interesting backing on the gloves.

That's one reason, the other is that you never know when those Khajiit claws will be needed! Same reason why she usually skips wearing boots.

Aravi was sent to investigate a location referenced by that Stele she found in the previous dungeon.

How clever about fingerless gloves so her claws can come out!

The vid was great. Wow, those Spire goblins were tough and hit like hammers! I almost thought we might lose poor Aravi a couple times.

Nice use of command spells a couple time to help thin the ranks.

Oooh! What a delicious little pair Aravi has now with that paralyze spell and fast little sword! Devastating!

As Aravi was approaching the cave from the forest, it felt funny. Then I realized, she is tall enough to see over the top of the grass (unlike some tiny elves, lol).

[mALX]

I keep trying to click "continue" on the screenies, ROFL !!

[mALX]

Holy Cow, those albino goblins had some kind of hard hit when they were unarmed !! It stunned or paralyzed her where she couldn't fight back !! I got scared several times for her when her health dropped so quick !! Awesome vid !!!

[SubRosa]

A neat look at the Ayleid Spires! Those Albino Goblins sure are tough.

I have been trying to watch your videos on and off, but most of the time You Tube is just too slow. They will play for ten seconds, then sit for thirty seconds waiting on the server. I did not have any problems this time. My guess is because I usually try watching in the evening, and this time I did it in the morning.

Have you ever thought of using a replacement shader for Night Eye? I got sick of constantly seeing blue a long time ago, and installed this mod to replace it with something a little easier on the eyes.

Buffy isn't that short is she? lol! There are some people that tower over Aravi even.

I've done that too!

Thanks for visiting!

One thing you may try is to bring up the video and pause it as soon as it starts playing and do something else for a minute or two. That will give the video a chance to load some and I've noticed that it loads significantly faster when it's paused.

The blue night eye has never bothered me but I'll check out that mod though. Based on the screenshots in that mod page "Edge Detect" is my favorite followed by "Superbright" and "Rotate." Which do you use?

I will try that! Or just stick to try watching during off-hours.

I used to use Desaturate, which washed out most of the colors, making it nearly black and white (well, greys). Now I use Superbright, which basically makes it seem like daytime.

Mini update!

I added a new water mod to the game. I'm not sure if I'll keep it because it causes some major FPS drops when it loads. Not that I wasn't expecting that really.

Vilja is the little dot to the top right, she's coming along for this next mission, but I have yet to decide whether I'll leave her outside or attempt to do it with her.

ROFL !!! I expect at any time to hear you have begun finding ways to rid yourself of Vilja ... AKA "The Adoring Fan" - shoving her off Dive Rock ... making her wait outside of Oblivion gates, etc. ROFL !!!

That bear trap is hilarious !! You can set it five feet from a gate in the Imperial City and watch people spawn in through the gates ... SNAP !!!

Beautiful water screenies. I know of the mod, but don't use it.

And the Arheology Guild looks just as neat as can be!

I love the trap. How perfect for an archer. Set up behind the trap, take that poisoned sneak shot and use the trap for some insurance. Wonderful. Thanks for the demo vid!

[SubRosa]

The trap reminds me of how I like to use mines in FO3. Put out a bottlecap mine, or about four frag mines, and stand twenty feet or so back and start shooting the super mutants...

The water does look pretty. But I probably would not want the performance hit. I just use a tweak to the .ini file that makes it more transparent so that you can see through it.

I actually prefer my water to be less transparent and more reflective. I don't like the fact that you can see through the water so clearly when you are above it but your vision gets fogged over so much when you go under. I simply cannot grasp how that is in any way possible, ergo I countered with this, which makes the water less transparent and more reflective on top, but pushes the underwater fog back considerably when you are swimming. Much better looking to me (though it does sort of force you to keep the water reflections on, and they are known to cause performance problems for some people).
