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

[Acadian]

Those are great screens!

Your new warrior looks wonderful. Very pretty with a sexy scar just to keep her real. I suspect she will have more fun - that is assuming the carpet matches the drapes.

[SubRosa]

liliandra nadiar: Neat mod! I just downloaded it and put it to use. Thanks!

King Coin: The axe is such an iconic nordic weapon, that I could not resist. Although Hrafn might eventually use a sword at some time in the future. It all depends on what she finds in her travels.

Grits: I had fun working on that shot with Ralof. I missed it the first time I tried getting the pic. So I reloaded the autosave from when they stepped outside so I could try again. I like the way the axes sling into your belt too. Makes a lot more sense then having them swinging around next to your leg!

Acadian: You skewered me with the scar. That is exactly why I included it. I wanted to have her eye on that side of her head be missing as well. But they did not have an option for one blue right eye, and one missing left one. Too bad, it would have gone perfectly with the scar.

The carpet does indeed match the curtains! Sadly, Hrafn did not have the chance to have as much fun with Ralof as she would have liked...


These bandits had a close relationship.

Hrafn smithed herself up some new armor.

Playing whack a draugr in Bleak Falls Barrow

She cleans up pretty well.

A bandit mage makes the mistake of crossing Hrafn

As does an archer.

[Acadian]

Thanks for sharing more of Hrafn.

Close relationship – Methinks someone’s been playing with corpses. Know an elf named Falanu? Oh well, I guess Hrafn didn’t bring her bags for tea.

New armor – Yes! The metal stuff works with this character. And very well! Nothing says subtle like steel and an axe.

Draugr whacking, mage mauling and archer axing - All in a day’s work!

Cleans up pretty well - By Kynareth’s wings, I’ll say so!!!

Whiterun looks safer with Hrafn there. I love the new armor. She's beautiful!

[King Coin]

Hrafn looks a little surprised at the bandits' activities.

I like that armor, I haven't been able to use it on a character yet though.

The shot of the mage was a really good one.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: No playing with corpses. That is how they fell. Hrafn does not like her tea that way!

Grits: Hrafn originally forged herself a set of steel armor, but it looked too girly on her, with the way it showed off her figure. So she went with the banded cuirass instead. It has a more rugged look. Although she keep the steel for the gauntlets and boots.

King Coin: I like that banded armor too. I think Hrafn will probably pass on the orcish and dwarven, and keep wearing it. At least until ebony.

I cannot count how many of those kill cams pics I have taken, and had to throw away because it wound up being a picture of the floor, of the back of a bandit's head, etc... It is difficult to find one that actually looks good.


Hrafn's homecoming was not what she had hoped for

She is off to the tower of dawn with a priest of mara

Hrafn puts down a Vaermina cultist

In the ruins

Getting drunk

Too drunk to stand.

[Grits]

She looks so sad in the first picture! Strangers at the forge and cultists on the hill, what a homecoming.

[Acadian]

More great screens! I’m really liking Hrafn. Much as I like her metal armor, I’m glad to she has some nice simple tavern wear. Getting drunk? She’s a Nord! That’s gonna take lotsa ale or mead!

[King Coin]

I had to peek at the journal entry before coming back here. Poor girl, now I know why she look so sad in the first screen.

I hope she felt a little better after bashing some skulls and drinking herself to sleep. lol.

[SubRosa]

Grits: I finally found a pose mod for Skyrim. That sad face was the first thing I used it for.

Acadian: Lots of ale and mead! But Hrafn can rise to any challenge.

King Coin: If nothing else, skull-bashing and mead-pounding does keep her mind occupied.


Hrafn bashes some draugr skulls

Down you go

Sometimes when you are modding, strange things happen.

A short vid of the boss fight in Forsaken Cave

An even shorter vid that resulted from Hrafn seeing a troll running by.

More screens of Hrafn!

In the first vid, she was wise to back up into a corridor to channel her foes. Yikes, getting disarmed was pretty scary!

Was she allied with the sprig in the second vid? Do they like Nordic girls?

[Grits]

Axe to the throat, nice!

That was a great fight against the draugr. Hrafn is awesome with the shield bash!

How strange that the troll was running away. Maybe it had been injured in a fight against the dead spriggan and then ran off to heal itself? What a neat encounter!

[King Coin]

Aravi’s been disarmed before, Not fun! I think Aravi just clawed the guy that did it though. Lol. Can’t totally disarm a Khajiit.
Curalmil was tough! You went through a lot of potions.

The spriggan video was weird. Why didn’t it attack you? Are you running your nature mod with this character too?

You got some good ax finisher shots too.

Acadian: Those guys were coming out of every corner of that final boss room. I am sure they would have overwhelmed Hrafn if she had not channeled them all into the corridor, where she could fight them one at a time.

Spriggans do indeed like Nordic girls in my game. Elven girls too, and Orc girls, etc...

Grits: It has taken me a while to get used to the shield and axe combo. Using the left mouse button to bash with, as well as attack with the weapon in your right hand, is confusing. In Oblivion you could hold down the block key all the time and still attack normally. In Skyrim you wind up bashing instead. I will click to swing with the axe, but bash with the shield because I still have the block key held down.

I do like the bashing in this game though. The bash/chop makes a great combo. Plus bashing when someone is making a power attack will break up their attack. That block perk that slows down time when an opponent power attacks is great for that.

King Coin: The Spriggan/Troll encounter was very strange. When I first saw the troll, it ran right past Hrafn, and had these weird glowing green spots all over it. I guess that was from the Spriggan's attack.

I am using my Animal Friend mod with Hrafn as well. I'll probably use it for all my future characters, as it keeps the ordinary animals from attacking, which is really how it should be, since wolves and bears really are not homicidal maniacs that attack every living thing they see.


Hrafn got tired of sleeping at the inn every night, so I made her a house in Dawnstar

It is simple and cozy on the inside

Exploring the mountains east of Dawnstar

Down to business in a ruin

Sunrise on the Sea of Ghosts

Stone Cold

Under the College of Winterhold

Love the house you made. Fits right in the town and it looks very cozy inside.

The College looks very precarious. I hope they've done some magic to keep things balanced and from falling apart!

The Sea of Ghosts one is very pretty. It makes me wonder what a polar excursion would be like.

[Grits]

I love Hrafn's house! Like KC said, it looks cozy and it fits right in. I am not very familiar with the Dawnstar area. It looks icily beautiful!

[Acadian]

Oh, that is a great looking cottage indeed! It suits Hrafn perfectly. I love those Skyrim horny candlelamp things.

And several more great screens. In the one you called Stone Cold (gee, they all look cold to me) I presume Hrafn got frosted by a mage was axing the mage to cease and desist?

[SubRosa]

King Coin: The house fits so well because its interior is basically a copy and paste of another home in Dawnstar, with just a few changes to make it more Hrafn-like. Finding a place to put it was not easy though. Bethesda shoe-horned most of the settlements into their surroundings, making it harder then you would first imagine to add new buildings to them.

I think a polar excursion would be very cold and wet, since they did not give us a waterwalking spell. I still don't know what they were thinking. Most of the water in this game is in the frozen arctic, and they expect people to swim through it? The reason I waited to explore it with a Nord was her 50% cold resistance.


Grits: I am not familiar with the Dawnstar area either. That is why I made it Hrafn's home. It gives me a good reason for her to spend a lot of time exploring the entire region.


Acadian: I guess you could say that Hrafn does not like getting the cold shoulder. So she had to tell that mage to cut out the bs...


The Helm of Yngol has some clipping issues

Taking in the view

Home in Dawnstar

The Falmer are rude hosts

Hrafn teaches them some manners

Their behavior is shocking

Hrafn's axe knows how to turn them into gentlemen

This guy got real hot under the collar

Hrafn does not know what got him so steamed

[liliandra nadiar]

I know Nords are a hearty race, but I wasn't expecting their hair to be able push through metal. Hrafn's picked up some new armor I see. Was it just for dealing with impolite hosts? Blondie seems to like her little toys to have a little extra kick. Or is it utility to use an axe with fire enchantment to cook her food?

[Acadian]

Hrafn looks so much better with an enchanted circlet than some horny clippy helm anyways.

‘Taking in the View’ was spectacular!

Awww, she looks simply beautiful in ‘Home in Dawnstar.

Yikes, those Falmer are some creepy looking elves! They lend credence to Buffy’s theory that goblins are a form of elf. Well, they were just axing for trouble.
