I have some screenshots. I’m afraid I’ll get too unruly for the characters thread, so here we are.

This is my first attempt at everyone. Tips, hints and comments are very welcome! I don’t have any mods yet.


The original Jerric on the PS3. I know, it’s a photo of my TV.

Jerric casting frost in a cave.

Darnand in the Anvil guild hall.

Abiene and Carahil. I think I need to make Abiene’s face thinner, with a longer nose.

Abiene and Anvil mages.

Lildereth cuts a deal with Morvayn.

I picked up her Frost (the horse) replacer while I was in the Lair looking for skeever textures. I haven’t tried it yet but the pictures look good enough to turn anyone into a horse thief. I didn’t look at her Skyrim horse textures because I’m already sidetracked enough!! Her work is beautiful.

Here’s the gang’s late Frost Fall trip from Pale Pass in pictures.

Of course it was snowing. Welcome back to Skyrim!

Fort Neugrad appears.

Ulfe’s view of the whole trip.

Making the turn toward Helgen the sky starts to clear.

Nearly there.

The gang stopped in the Helgen Inn to warm up.

Abiene disappeared. Jerric found her resting at a table upstairs.

After a few moments Abiene abruptly went to bed.

When Jerric turned around he saw that Lildereth had the same idea. (They were all sandboxing in the area having been told to “Relax.”)

The girls had obviously decided they were going to stay the night. Jerric and Darnand stayed up for a while talking.

The next morning at breakfast Jerric still didn’t look very awake. Possibly because that inn is very dark!

They went outside to find rain and no Flash.

Jerric whistled for him and they had a brief chat about what “stay right here” means. I think it looks like Kip and Flash are discussing Jerric.

Heading down the road to Lakeview Manor.

By the time they got to the house it was sunny. Valdi was there acting too busy to stop hammering and talk to them. Jerric expected some lip but she gave him her sweetest greeting, “It’s so good to see you again.”

[SubRosa]

Wow, your Helgen Inn looks a whole lot nicer than the one in my game! (which is still in ruins).

I love that look Valdi is shooting Jerric! It looks like she was privy to the conversation that Flash and Kip had about him!

Lil is looking most hot in her ranger armor.

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing this trip with us. Your game is beautiful and it's wonderful to see the whole gang, along with some of the mod goodness you've so carefully chosen to enhance everything.

I simply love the horse sounds, and can almost hear them right through your screenshots - especially when traveling with a small group of riders.

What a fabulous journey!

[Lopov]

Very nice screenshots, love the ones when they're traveling to Helgen and it's snowing. Ulfe's perspective of traveling is...interesting.

I assume you're using some mod that restores Helgen or have you done it yourself?

[Grits]

Thanks for the kind words, folks! It was a peaceful journey since all of the random encounters were friendly people and patrols. Lots of lovely horse noises and chatter from the crew. Having everyone on the road reminds Jerric of his caravan guarding days.

Lopov, I’m using Mike Hancho’s outstanding Helgen Reborn mod. It has a questline, new locations (the Nordic ruin visible across the lake from Lakeview Manor in my Jerric’s world screenshots is from Helgen Reborn), and a good story. By the end my characters really feel a part of the community they helped rebuild.

[Darkness Eternal]

These are some splendid screenshots, Grits! I'm enjoying every bit of it. Of course it had to be snow right? Skyrim has unlimited supply, it would seem.

Ulfe's view of the trip was pretty comical. I can't imagine seeing the rear end of a horse and its rider would be fun.

Lakeview manor is such a beautiful place. Going down to road to it must make the group feel happy and relieved that they're almost there. Some rest may be in order, yes?

I like the Helgen shot, too.

Good job, Grits!
