Because Every Rose Has Its Video, Rosa's Vid Topic Options

[King Coin]

Wow, those auroras are beautiful! Excellent shot!

That's a nice little camp. There's a portable campsite mod out just to let you know though.

I like the elven armor but furs, leather, or hide armor seems to be more suitable for a woodsy character. I still like the forsworn 'armor' even though it is ridiculous.

Aravi's foot wraps are enchanted with resist frost. That, and her own fur keeps her warm.

[Grits]

I love Primrose's campsite!! Her background sounds fascinating, I hope we get to hear some more of it.

I'm sure that Primrose's animal friends also prefer her in the Elven armor. My big, sweaty Nord still loves her Forsworn bikini, but even she won't wear the matching silly hat.


I love the way you composed the aurora shot with the trees and moons.

[Acadian]

Thanks for the great screens! She looks quite at home with the critters and at her campsite. My fave shot is definitely ‘Against the Mountains’. I like the up close look at Primrose, as well as her armor. That fur ‘kini is too skimpy and the metal stuff is too, well, metal.

[SubRosa]

King Coin: I tried that portable campsite mod, but it did not do much for me.


Grits: Those skyline shots are always difficult, because getting in the sky often means losing everything else. Especially when I try to get the moons in.

Acadian: Primrose decided to pack away the elven armor in her tree stump and has gone back to wearing the furs.


Primrose paid a visit to Whiterun.

She had the chance to see some pretty lights.

Primrose's first vid, putting her archery and sneaking skills to the test.

[Grits]

That long-sleeved fur outfit looks like a keeper.

Wow, Primrose is an impressive archer!! I remember Rowan and Vorstag’s trip through Darkshade. It was a bloodbath. Mostly theirs.

[King Coin]

Love the auroras in that second screen.

I remember that place. Ugh, Aravi did not enjoy her first encounter with trolls.

Wow! Nice shooting on that first one! Never got to see that perk used before.

Two arrows each! I don't think archery is as weak as people on the forums have been complaining.

[Acadian]

Great screens, war paint and all!

In the first few moments of the vid a butterfly zips right in front of the camera, so I was happy. Then, even happier when PrimRosa found an underground waterfall! Woot! Certainly worth killin’ a few trolls for. Just a touch of that troll fat is wonderful in your hair conditioner (but don't tell anyone). Very elegant dungeon crawl – that’s the way to do it - - no one even knew she was there.

[SubRosa]

Grits: The long-sleeved furs suit Primrose to a tee. I tried the elven armor for a while, but it was just too fancy.

It took her a long time to get that good with archery, and with stealth. She has the triple sneaking damage with bows perk now, which helps a lot. Her current bow is also smithed up to nearly twice the base damage, plus an extra 17 points of fire.


King Coin: It is extremely weak when you start out. You do not do much damage, and you move slower then a pregnant cow I rearranged the perks so that you get the Ranger perk a lot earlier, so you can move normally with a drawn bow. That makes a huge difference. In the early days, it was Primrose's summoned Familiar that kept her alive, not her bow.

Primrose is about 20th level or so in that vid, and has concentrated on archery, and taking its perks. She also has a number of magic items that increase her bow damage. Between them and her Overdraw perks, she doubles her damage with a bow. Plus the chance to critical and do extra damage. Then she also has all those things I mentioned to Grits above. Now she can one-shot a lot of bad guys. But it took a long time and a lot of specialization to get here.


Acadian: That was a dungeon crawl where everything went right. She did not even need to summon her sabre cat to protect her. I assure you, it often does not go so well!

You can actually rip the wings off the butterflies and use them in alchemy. Not that any of my characters would ever do that. Troll fat for hair conditioner? Primrose has been using it to shave her legs with (animal fat was one of the original shaving creams)


Primrose did some mountain climbing.

Quite a view from up here.

Looks like that mask did not save Jim Carrey this time...

I am sure Aravi recognizes this scene

I think someone likes Primrose...

A close up indoors.

Primrose met a familiar Khajiit caravan guard outside of Dawnstar

FO3 had Deathclaws, Skyrim has these instead.

Standing atop Mazeltov (I cannot remember that crazy Dwemer name)

Pulling the wings off butterflies? That cuts it. No Skyrim for me!

Fun screens! I love that fur armor she wears now! It is perfect for her and I really like the detail of how you see where it is sewn together. That is a great shot of the smith giving PrimRosa the eye. Yay, Kharjo! Yikes, I can smell the breath from that bear!

[King Coin]

Oh I love that mountain picture. Very pretty, seeing the land stretched out like that.

The Skull! I don’t see a weapon in hand, so I assume that it got banished to Oblivion as well in Primrose’s story.

Kharjo!

I think Aravi passed that Dwemer ruin. She bypassed it because at the time she didn’t want to get in any fights.

[Grits]

What a smile from Rustleif!

Nice to see Kharjo. And very nice to see a happy bear face. My characters only get to see teeth.

Primrose is quite a climber! I was going to call the dwarven ruin shot “Dragon Bait,” but then I remembered that Primrose lives under friendly skies.

These are great!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: That smith's smile was as faint as any of Primrose's mother. I had to capture it on film pixels.


King Coin: Primrose would never have betrayed Erandur. Besides, what is she going to do with that staff? Use it as a back scratcher?

Primrose actually bypassed that ruin too. She was on her way back to Dawnstar after doing a fetch and carry for the ship captain, and was already loaded down with loot. But she could not resist climbing up top of those buildings for a picture.


Grits: Primrose sometimes sees bear teeth, when they are ripping apart someone who is mean to her. Primrose loves climbing up things, especially mountains. I think she gets that from her mother too.


A short vid of an encounter with a Thalmor patrol

A long vid that resulted from a Whiterun guard telling Primrose that he had seen a strange creature outside of Shimmermist Cave

Prim seems to have some wiry muscles on her to haul around the scrap she found there. Makes her moms proud I bet.

[Acadian]

Nice little Thalmar encounter in the first vid. It really shows Child of the Faint Smile’s ability to meld bow with summoned ball of teeth & fur.

Then a long dungeon crawl. I’m a little glowing mushroom; they keep me in the dark and feed me. . . oh, well, um Primrose certainly got some fine fungal picking done along with some great snipe shots vs Falmer. The dungeon was very spooky and atmospheric.

I had to chuckle when she got stuck behind Sabrina (that’s what I’ve named her Saber Cat) and had to resummon the cat behind her. Yikes, those Chaurus things looked tough - mudcrabs on steroids? That Dwarven Centurian was a challenge. Yay for Sabrina!

Having to shoulder her bow to cast spells. Ugh. Clearly the devs don't play mystic archers.

Now when Primrose got to that big waterfall and there were no foes around I thought surely she would display the instincts of a woodster, doff her furs and play in the water some. Noooooooo . . . .

[Grits]

What a great fight against the Thalmor! Primrose’s sabre cat is awesome. Fun to get a little help from a local wolf, too. Not so fun to have a dead chick on the rock. I guess she didn’t make it.

Primrose looked so neat sneaking through the glowing mist. Shimmermist is where Rowan mistook Vorstag for a chaurus in the dark and attacked him with a vicious dual flurry. Prompting him to quietly say, “Hey.”

I love how the sabre cat flops down on the ground after the fight!! Even when she’s a little bit in the way. Good kitty.

[King Coin]

I like how the sabre cat settled down after the fight.

Aravi did this cave! Falmer! It’s pretty without them isn’t it?

Primrose is really going after those ingredients. I don’t think I was ever so happy to see a sabre cat than when Primrose summoned one to fight the chaurus.

That centurion was a nasty surprise when Aravi did that one. She actually went behind the falmer in there to slit his throat…

[SubRosa]

liliandra nadiar: She has something that boosts her stamina, though I am not sure what. She also enchanted her boots to increase her carrying capacity. So she is a regular ox!

Acadian: That is one of the spookier Skyrim dungeons I have been in. The Falmer lairs always are. Sabrina, how perfect! Though it is going to make me think of the Teenage Sabre Cat. No baths for Primrose in that place. It was just too darn creepy. Her favorite spot are the rapids outside Whiterun. There are a few little baby waterfalls that you can just ride along with. Sort of like an ES waterslide.

Grits: That was a rousing fight with the Thalmor. Primrose is a Stormcloak sympathizer, and when she saw them standing over the body of that dead Stormcloak, something snapped in her, and it was killin' time. The sabre cat acts like a real cat: i.e. lazy! Also like a real cat, it likes to get in your way, so you have to pay attention to it. Though the other summonings are like that too.

King Coin: That place is creepy even without the Falmer! The lighting is all too weird. It is really dark, and really bright, at the same time. Primrose could not wait to get back out under the stars once more, and find a nice, friendly wolf pack to lie down to sleep in.

Primrose stopped off in Dawnstar for a break

The fire is nice and warm after that brisk mountain air

I decided to give Primrose a break for a little while. Though I still plan to go back to her later.

Meet Hrafngoelir (her name means "who makes the ravens sing")

Hrafn and Ralof hiding from the dragon

A close up

Hrafn is a warrior and even has the stones for it

Once in Riverwood, she decided to try a new lipstick

'Little' lady looks ready to impart some Nordic wisdom to those stuffy, arrogant Imperials and Altmer.

Also, a mod I found that I adore for anyone of mine that uses bows. It removes that annoying gap between the quiver and your back.

[King Coin]

Ahh, nice and warm by the fire.

Your new character is beautiful! Favors the ax eh?

[Grits]

That’s a great shot of Hrafn and Ralof! I like the way axes hang from the belt better than swords. Hrafn demonstrates that being a warrior is no excuse for neglecting one’s grooming. She looks lovely!
