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

King Coin: That particular pooch is pretty sturdy. That is Barbas, the one dog killing machine. I do not think there are female giants. Apparently they reproduce by fission...

Grits: The Marsh pic is in my desktop rotation.

Acadian: The red glow is from her Absorb Health spell that I modded into the game.


Hide and seek

Looks like Revansch is not the first one here...

Slugging it out with a vamp

More sluggage

Perched

[Acadian]

All those screens are great! I laughed over ‘Hide and Seek’. The winter snow armor looks neat (and appropriate). ‘Slugging it out with a vamp’ is simply spectacular – another name for that one could be ‘More dead girl talk’. Oh, and the ‘Perched’ by a gargoyle is just clever as can be! Say, being dead and all, is Revansch immune to cold? That'd sure be handy and free up those toe ring and belly chain slots for other enchanted stuffs.

[Grits]

I guess being dead Revansch really doesn’t like necromancers. The two sluggage pictures are my favorites. Wow those spell and weapon effects look great! Dual wielders look super cool with all of their slashy twirling.

[King Coin]

Hide and seek is kind of silly!

Seeing her eyes, I keep thinking she’s a vampire.

Slugging is out is very cool, what are those magical effects playing? Oh, I think the vampire is bringing that corpse to life. Grits made a good point about undead and necromancers.

Looks like to me you are doing some DG content. Hope that means you can watch my next video. Those gargoyles can be quite startling.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Revansch does indeed have a 100% resistance to cold. Same with poison, and she can breathe underwater (or actually, does not need to breathe). OTOH, she has a Weakness to Fire damage. Frost-based attacks still damage her however... Not as much as normal though.

Grits: Revansch does not really like most anyone. Maul lipped off to her the first time she went to Riften, so she killed him right then and there in the street. Sapphire came to his aid, so Revansch killed her too.

King Coin: Revansch's eyes are from Mystic Eyes. I wanted something that was distinctly not normal, and I have already used the lavender shades, so I went with amber. Are the vampire eyes in DG supposed to be golden? They are all solid red for me.

Those gargoyles are startling! My first one was in Bloodlet Throne. It busted out of its stone casing and nearly killed Revansch. She was only about 3rd level at the time.

One of my bird mods retextures the hawks in some areas to be seagulls

Revansch does not do it often, but she can summon other undead. You can also see a mod I created that replaces the hide and iron shields with ones more Viking-friendly

Nice seagull! Revansch looks good in both ghostly white and basic black. ‘It’s a long way down’ – but what’s the worst that can happen to a dead girl? ‘Taking a break’ is a great close up. Love the name Darryl the Draugr; I wonder if she will be able to summon his brother Larry and his other brother Darryl as well (joke from the old ‘Newhart’ TV show). I’m sure he’s much more help than Gomer the Ghost or Skeezix the Skeleton.

[King Coin]

That shield looks so neat!

The white armor is cool, but I think the black suits her better. Does she have a permanent residence? I think somewhere near Morthal’s marsh would be great for her. There’s a locked house around there that she could take over if she figures out how to open it.

Resting on the big log bridge. I’m assuming she tossed the bandit that was there originally. That spot is so cool.

Darryl’s a little bigger than the average draugr.

Edit:
I've been doing some serious work on my mods trying to fix a problem with an item not behaving as expected, and I just saw a shield kind of similar to that one. These never appeared before.

[Grits]

Seagull and troll, neat. Wow that bandit took a tumble! I had the same thought about Darryl: where is his other brother Darryl?

I like the black armor best. Is Revansch kind of petite, or maybe her summonings are tall? I thought maybe the Snow Elf race mod might have made her Breton-sized. Or perhaps she is a Breton. Anyway that’s a nice pose outside Riften with Darryl!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I remember Larry, Darryl, and Darryl! I actually got the name from my brother, who is also named Darryl. We used to always makes jokes about that back when Newhart was on.


King Coin: The shield is from the Matherian Viking Shield Set. I took out the two I liked best and made my own replacer mod with them.

I am not sure why Darryl looks so big. He is your average Draugr. There is really only one base creature that all the males copy. They just change the face between them. He looked really big when Babd summoned him too

Grits: The Snow Elf race Revansch is based in is a copy of the Breton race, just with new textures. So Revansch is a wee lass.

Skeleton vs. Absorb Health

Fell to pieces

I have spent the last few days with Cate Archer, from No One Lives Forever

Dressed to kill

Ready for a swim

[Acadian]

Absorb health is so neat. Love how that skeleton comes apart! Not familiar with that other game so I googled it. Cate must be an agent for the Blades.

[Grits]

That’s neat seeing the skeleton pop apart from the spell just as it would from an axe. It makes me think that magic is all that’s holding them together.

I don’t know anything about Cate’s game, but I love the look of it! I would have such a crush on her!!

[King Coin]

Lol, I opened all the pictures and looked at them first. We aren’t in Skyrim anymore!

I like how the skeletons just pop apart in this game.

That game doesn’t look bad, even though it is clearly old.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: It is too bad only vampires get Absorb Health in the vanilla game. It is such a good spell. Cate would make a good agent for the Blades. At least the Blades in the first four games. The ones in Skyrim do not understand the meaning of Semper Fidelis.

Grits: I do have a crush on Cate! I have a poster of her from the second NOLF game on my fridge in fact. I think my favorite Skeleton deaths are in Oblivion though, when you kill them with destruction magic and their heads go flying a hundred feet in the air.

King Coin: NOLF is 12 years old, going on 13 now. One reason it looks so good is that my Nvidia settings are overriding the game's. So it is at x32 AA, x16 AF, etc... That helps a lot. But even in its day, it was on the cutting edge of graphics. Cate Archer had the highest number of polys of any character when the game came out, and I am still surprised at the detail on all the character's faces.


Cate Archer in No One Lives Forever 2

Apparently Kevin Spacey is the villain

I made a trip back to Tamriel last night

This Necromancer and his chicken army will threaten the world no more

Magic duel

Return to Helgen

Getting ahead in the world

Darryl gets mad when people shoot him in the face

Here is the reason I bought Dawnguard. No more ugly dogs.

[King Coin]

Cate Archer looks like she could be a part of Sims 2 or so. The graphics look about right.

Lol, I thought the chickens looked kind of odd hanging about that body.

My new Aravi’s started using the ward and shield spells. With a couple of perks, the wards really help her get close to enemy mages without taking too much damage.

Big ol’ husky!

[Acadian]

I loved the chicken army – must be a novice necromancer. Tell Revansch to watch out for roving bands of rabid bunnies!

‘Magic duel’ is a spectacular shot for its magical effects! ‘Getting ahead’ was hilarious. Darryl has beautiful eyes – the color of Welkynd stones.

[Grits]

Getting A Head!

I bet that bandit was soiling his skirt. What a shock to see a draugr out in the world!

Aww, love the new Vigilance! I prefer the new husky’s bark, but the big shaggy dogs are still my favorite.

I haven’t found the chicken man yet, so I didn’t peek. Skyrim still has some surprises!

[SubRosa]

King Coin: The thing I do not like about wards is how they suck your magicka dry in seconds. I have modded the magicka regen rate so it is not slower in combat, and it still eats the magicka. I do not know how people use them in the vanilla game.

Acadian: That one necromancer animates a couple of chickens to fight for him. I guess you have to start somewhere...

Grits: I just loved how that head just happened to roll to a stop at Revansch's feet. After that, I just had to take a picture.


Down boy

I think I saw this guy in the LOTR movies...

Taking a break

Another angle

Magic duel with one of the new Falmer

Now for something completely different

I think Darryl likes Hulda

I finally figured out how to disable the word walls.

I like the way that effect looks, the absorb life that vampires get.

An armored troll! Aravi’s never used one, though they look strong.

Beautiful cave, I don’t know if Aravi’s been in that one. Funny how in Oblivion it got to be I recognized almost every cave.

That Falmer’s quiver is upside down! Is that normal for them? Do they draw from it correctly?

Anyone looks good in elven armor.

Love her weapons. The summoned sword looks so much better than what they did with Oblivion. I was personally a little disappointed with the ghostly sword that you get from that quest. When Aravi got it, even with improvements it was quite useless.

[Acadian]

What a great bunch of screens! The cave, magic effects, bound swords and Falmer all look really neat. Darryl looks like he is good company. I noticed the Falmer’s upside down quiver as well. Based on what KC said, do I gather that the armored brute is a summoned troll of some sort?

[Grits]

That is a beautiful view of a really neat cavern! I don’t recognize it.

My favorite is Revansch with her ghostly swords. Is that the one that does extra damage ignoring armor? I have never tried to use one of the ghost blades.

Disabling the Word Walls would be great. I’ve adopted your idea of using Shouts for some spells that are lacking, but it would be nice not to have chanting walls for characters who don’t use them.

Revansch looks great in Elven armor. It works well with her coloring.
