Oh, I definitely prefer the Eisen Platte White. She looks beautiful in it! How does the white Nightingale hood look with the Eisen Platte armor?

I have the same feeling about the Triss armor. It evokes warmth and life in my mind.

I really like Persephone.

[SubRosa]

Thanks all. Given that everyone felt the same way about the Eisen White, that made it clear to me that it was the way to go. Now that I have beaten Dragon Age (I wish Pseron Wyrd was reading this, he loves talk like that... ) it is time to go back to Sky for a while. I must admit, it is really nice to be able to look up for a change.

Have you heard that The Gourmet is in Skyrim?

Persephone is wearing a new hood to disguise herself as a breather. She is wondering if Ri'saad sold his camp?

Stalking the Night

[King Coin]

LOL nice hat. She looks all too serious with it. Perhaps she just left Hell’s kitchen?

That Khajiit doesn’t even have a box!

The last screen is pretty, but the blood on her armor makes it eerie.

[Acadian]

Oh, what a funny chef’s hat P-9 has on!

The new hood adds even more mystery to Purse-phone.

Oooh, Stalking is a beautiful shot of the mountains and night sky. Percy looks so at home in the darkness. Her armor looks great – excellent choice.

[SubRosa]

King Coin: I actually like the hat. It is a little too big and fluffy though. It prompted me to go looking for mods that add berets. Sadly I could not find any.

I was thinking about that Khajiit in the box pic when I saw Ri'saad without his camp too!

I guess Silverblood blood takes a while to wash out. That pic was taken not long after she had killed Thonar Silverblood.


Acadian: I found the chef's hat while looking through headgear for Persephone. I just could not resist at least one pic with it. The new hood comes from an Assassin's Creed mod. Grits's Velvet Cloak's mod has a nice grey cloak that would go perfectly with it, except that the cloak shows a hood that is thrown back hanging down the back. Which looks kind of strange when she is wearing another hood over her head!

P-9 is definitely at home in the darkness. It is the stars that power her Ayleid-Stone heart after all.


Persephone came across a group of friendly Forsworn, and if that was not odd enough, the next thing she knew two Nord kids showed up and tried to sell her some information.

Darryl is a master of Kung-Fu

Showdown vs Hevnoraak

P9 is debating whether or not she should kill this slimy little man

[King Coin]

Lots of odd occurrences in your games recently. Aravi has a hard time killing anyone that doesn’t offer her a fight. Except vampires…

Hevnoraak… I only just found him last month.

Despite his slime, he’s one of the few shop keepers that has a personality.

[Acadian]

The night sky in your first screen is simply gorgeous!

Battling Druglords! Hard to tell which is Darryl!

Showdown is a spectacular magic display.

Yikes! It looks like a few more seconds of that stare from P9 will easily kill that fellow.

[SubRosa]

King Coin: I did not think there were vampires that didn't attack you. Except perhaps Serana. But then she is not a real vampire anyway. She's just a Nord with a script.

I still remember that Hitler killed Belethor, in the same game where he took an arrow in the knee and had to become a guard...


Acadian: Darryl is the one on the left in that pic. He lost his sword after one of the bad draugr used a Disarm shout on him. I sometimes have trouble telling him from the other draugr at times too, especially the Deathlords, who look exactly like him.

Showdown was a fun fight. The bad guy had a staff of lightning wall, which made those sparks all over the place.


This one has coin, if Khajiit has wares...

Later the next day, Persephone caught up with Khajiit on the road again.

Persephone now has a lair

Don't look now kid...

"We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light."

On the road again.

‘Coin’ really captures the arctic flavor of the land and how well PursePhone fits into it.

‘Later’ = Herding cats!

That is quite the lair! Not bad for a dead girl!

Supervising the child’s first anatomy lessons.

Grey is a great shot showing off P-9’s armor, hood and cape – the whole ensemble looks so perfect for her.

On the road again. Looking for more Khajiit!

[ghastley]

Persephone now has a lair

Of course it would be the one in the Pale!

Did you build decks all round? The two I can see are Armory and Storage, which make sense for her, but I don't see her needing all the extra beds.

[Grits]

I love Persephone’s new look! Too bad the hat is so poufy. It’s the perfect color. The new hood looks great. I like the detail.

Persephone looks beautiful in the nights shots. How funny to see those boys beside neutral Foresworn. There’s one stronghold that becomes friendly after that mine quest, but I don’t remember what conditions have to be met. I should think that killing their King In Rags would not be one of them.

Daryl looks like he’s going to rip the smaller guy in half! Love it. Showdown looks so neat!

My favorite is Sleazy Little Man. I expect Belethor gets the stare from a lot of folks, but Persephone’s is extra cold.

What a great location for her lair. The view is gorgeous and the freezing wind won’t bother her a bit.

I love the pics with Aventus! Kid’s going to need to change his shorts when he turns around.

That cape looks great with Persephone’s outfit! Very nice.

[King Coin]

GIVE IT TO ME NOW

A question about her lair, do the decks connect?

Don’t look now is a cool scene. She has a presence standing there in her white armor.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: There were lots of cats that day I was playing. It seemed like Persephone kept running into that same caravan wherever she went.

I really do like how the whole outfit of hood and cloak came together with the armor. As usual, I spent hours downloading mods, tweaking them, and making my own before they came together. I even stopped using her old sword and went with a Steel one, just because it fits the rest of her outfit best.

I was thinking about making a new lair for P9 in one of the old tombs, or making a new small tomb, but it does not fit the person she has become. She is spending more and more time around people, acting more like a person to fit in, and remembering more and more of what it was like to be alive. So she went the route of making a living person's lair.


ghastley: The Pale is just perfect for a pale complected Living Dead Girl like P9. So once I decided to go with an HF house, I never even considered the other two locations.

The decks do wrap all the way around. She does not need the extra beds, even with just her Sophie and Lucia. But she would not need the other addons either. So in the end I went with the wrap around deck, just because none of my characters have never done it before.


Grits: I went looking for mods that add berets to Skyrim after seeing Persephone in the chef's hat. I think she would look great in one. Plus I could listen to this song whenever I played her. But sadly I had no luck.

Those Forsworn were not in one of their redoubts. They were just out in the wilderness, somewhere south of Dushnikh Yal. I have seen them there before, so they must be a regular encounter, not a random wilderness event, like the two kids. I am not sure what made the Forsworn friendly. But P9 does have a Speech skill over a hundred now with her buffs (her hood gives her a +25 to Persuasion).

Darryl is the original IP Man.

Poor Aventus, imagine turning around and seeing that staring at you from the shadows!

I am so glad I started playing Persephone again. She is much different this time around. She has really grown as a person. As I said to Acadian, the more she is around the living, and goes through the motions of being alive to fit in, the more she remembers what it was like to be alive, and to be a person. Thanks to the cape and the hood, she feels like a superhero. Especially given that now she has destroyed the Dark Brotherhood, rescued the prisoners from the Thalmor in Northwatch Keep, and even paid a visit to the Thalmor Embassy and went all Pelinal Whitestrake on them. Even the Vigilants of Stendarr stopped attacking her. (In reality because I turned off the .esp to play another character and forgot to turn it back on when I went back to Persephone) But I like to pretend that they finally realized that even though she is undead, she is one of the good guys. Plus they won't have any Vigilants left if they keep attacking her...


King Coin: I love that little video! The decks do all connect, so you can completely walk around the outside on them. I should have made this one for D'Eon, because whenever I look at it, I think it would be great for a party.

I loved Don't Look Now Kid. I worked for a while to get that one just right. Persephone is one of my creepier characters, probably only behind Revansch when it comes to the scary factor.


No one can be told what The Matrix is...

Perspehone thought she had found a friend, but he wouldn't say a thing to her

Those Forsworn were not in one of their redoubts. They were just out in the wilderness, somewhere south of Dushnikh Yal. I have seen them there before, so they must be a regular encounter, not a random wilderness event, like the two kids.

There's an encounter zone just there at the bottom of the entrance to Arkngthamtz, and I met a bunch of forsworn battling a group of Orc bandits on the way in, and then a Thalmor assassination team on the way out. We were close enough for a couple of cave bears to come and investigate the commotion, too. Since I was playing with Amazing Follower Tweaks in that game (allows five followers), and had the whole Tamriel Topless Team following me (so no pictures ), it got very confused.

It looks to me like the encounter is set up for one or two groups to arrive there at once, and they'll fight if they don't like each other. In your case, it was Forsworn, and the kids, and no violence. I was unlucky twice. I haven't looked at the aliases in the setup to see what groups are possible, but I think Forsworn are much more likely as a choice in that area.

[King Coin]

I love that log bridge! It goes right over this enormous waterfall. You have to be very careful with followers though!

I have not seen that horseman in quite some time.

Wish Aravi could take the Brotherhood. It involves killing that woman though, and even though she’s horrible, Aravi isn’t going to murder someone in the city.

Sneaking with a great sword doesn’t seem to be the best way to go! They do have some cool killing animations though.

Who the heck keeps a pet spider?!

Nice end to the DB!

[Acadian]

Matrix – Whizzing bullets arrows can’t touch me!

A headless horseman! How cool! That shot also showcases how nicely P9’s hood/cape combo complement her armor.

Vid: Skyrim did a nice job with the ritual to enter the DB sanctuary – comfortably familiar (from OB) but different. That first fight was a neat one that showcased 2H vs 2H. Spiderwoman wasn’t so confident after P9 whacked her spider and called up Daryl to help. Loves 2H great swords and Daryl can use his one handed!

It's nice how P9 is kind of 'growing' to fit in to the world of the living. I like the idea that her ancient memories are finding purchase with exposure to the living.

[Grits]

Nice work at the DB sanctuary! Arnbjorn didn’t even touch her! It was neat to see Daryl in action.

I love that spot on the log bridge. Persephone jumping over the arrows!

How fun to see the Headless Horseman in daylight and not galloping. Persephone, a ghost, and Daryl would make a nice undead trio.

[SubRosa]

King Coin: That log bridge is one of my favorite places in the game. I always look for King Kong whenever I am there!

That is the first time I have seen the Headless Horsemen in ages. It is the first time I have ever seen him in daylight too. He was just sitting there when Persephone went to that graveyard.

Sneaking doesn't get you any bonuses with a greatsword. But it is still nice sneak in to get a look at things before deciding how to tackle a room.

I was wondering who keeps a frostbitespider pet too! I guess an assassin is the answer!


Acadian: Actually, quite a few arrows did touch her while I was taking screenshots of that scene!

P9's hood and cape really make the new version of her come alive, so to speak.

I thought that DB door would be familiar to you. There is not bony skeletal guard inside though. Maybe they could have used one. By now P9 is about level 47, and there is not much that can stop her.


Grits: That was a great duel with the first two-handed guy in the DB Sanctuary. Everything just came together. Fights like that, where you can control the distance and keep the initiative, are what I love about two-handed weapons.

It is too bad you cannot make the Horseman a follower! I actually did check out some ghostly horse mods. But I think Persephone is just going to hold out for Avrak.



Posing In Front Of The Mountains

Persephone and the Vigilant

Having a hood-to-hood chat

I have also been tinkering with a new character - Asherah

Asherah is an Ayleid, and wears her mother's armor

Mom of course being Astarte

P-9 the poseur is a fabulous shot!

In Vigilant, I like what looks like partial mammoth head trophies (?) on the wall.

Hood chatting! I’ve never played Skyrim, but even I can recognize Serana behind that dark hood.

Asherah the Arimer Aylied! I love that she has the same taste in armor as her mom. Now. . . if we can just coax her a bit away from the cliffracer and more toward her mom’s taste in coif. Okay, just teasin’ ya!

[Grits]

I love the posing one! The subtle colors are just beautiful.

The Vigilant has a lot to think about when meeting Persephone. Fight undead with undead!

Hoods looks very neat. I love the dark and light contrast.

Wow, Asherah definitely does not look like a local! Her armor still looks great, no matter how far north she wanders. I like how her hairstyle (but still pink) makes her different from mom!
