I just made a small addition to Conina the Hairdresser's outfit.

Love the pair of scissors sticking out of her pouch! Claymore for the main cutting and scissors for final trim/shaping. I like it.

Cohen the Barbarian has done a few more quests and left devastation in his wake.

Idgrod the younger and Ingun Black-Briar

Ha ha awesome. I see the scissors too. Well here, I'll add some more Bjorn pics. Might as well.


Have you heard that joke Hammer-fist has been telling lately?

He said 'any Nord can kick any shop-keepers butt, anytime.'

Well, I say he's wrong! Heh... huh.... *urp*.

Rats in the Brewery

Ruffians in the Causeway

Oooh. Bad idea, witch.

Back on the Hi-way!

Bjorn was born to be wild!

Ghastley - Looks like they've really improve the rewards you get for completing quests since I played!


Renee - Bjorn back to head-bashin' again? And rats! What is it about rats? I thought that was just for new Fighters Guild initiates.

Whilst my xbox one screenshots aren't as pretty as the great shots you guys take on PC, I thought I'd post some of the scenes I captured from Eldys' adventures.

Here she is travelling along the secret mountain pass between the rift and whiterun, which always reminds of Carahadras from LOTR. This was a cool shot of the view as the pass ended and she entered the tundra.

Another of my favourite spots in Skyrim. We had a hairy encounter with a bandit thug on the tree. From a different angle.

A gloomy sunset in the mountains.

Mist descending from the mountains. Actually a little ominous when you have frostfall installed.

Here she is with her hood off, performing in the tavern in Morthal.

And finally, resting atop Folgunthar after a long journey and a dangerous dungeon dive.

Vital, thanks for sharing some nice shots of Eldys and her Skyworld. I remember that wonderful fallen log bridge across the canyon. I think your xbox shots look great!

Who is the skelly that Eldy has trailing her? Skinny? Bones? Rattle?

I love that log bridge! I always look for Kong to come attack when I am crossing it.

The mountain sunset is wonderfully doomful. It looks like Mordor could be over the horizon.

Nice landscape shots. The gloomy sunset one is my fave.

Oh wow, you can get Frostfall on Xbox these days? ... Yes, that one does get pretty intense. I personally prefer its Lite setting, and even then it seems a little too harsh!

Acadian - Glad you like my snaps! Little spots like that fallen log really break up long, sometimes uneventful journeys along Skyrim's roads.

Subrosa - Try Pablo!

Mordor was exactly the vibe I got from that sunset too. It worked really well because that was taken near the 'Bone Altar' in the Rift, shortly before Eldys raised her skelly. Felt like there was darkness afoot

Renee - Yeah, the modding options on Xbox One are fairly extensive. Nothing like PC of course, but plenty enough to spice up the game. Frostfall has been one of the bigger 'game changers', but I've actually found all the little effect mods have improved the game too. Shots like that sunset wouldn't have been possible with vanilla Skyrim's often drab colours.

As promised...

Wizards, now that's power! Bet they got that seeecret magic. Turn wood to gold. Yeah, wish I could turn wood to gold.

Trolling

Night Adventure

... annnd Action

Told you not to come here!

Time for the Banhammer!

Skyrim Lopov

What a great collection of shots! Humor, action and even a Lopov shot at the end!

Yikes, a troll got into Dragon Bridge!

Hammertime!

A Lopov shot!

After ditching the special edition, I've finally gotten my copy of LE modded and ready to go for Cain's story. I posted this picture at Haven last night, and it marks my first official screenie. Ghastley requested I post it here, too.

Masser and Secunda

Aw, that's lovely. Why did you ditch the SE?

Actually I thought it would make a good picture for the Caption This thread, when the chance arises. They look like they're having a conversation.

Whoops. I always forget about that thread, TBH.

Great shot, Cain - I've always loved the Tamrielic night sky.

From the Wasteland to Skyrim

Hecate is wondering what happened to her glasses?

Wait, now Deathclaws can fly?

Bespectacled, armed, and armored

Watch out for that giant flying Deathclaw

Is this another supercomputer?

Taking it all in

Walking with the town slut

That is one big radroach

They don't have this in the Capital Wasteland

Toto, we are not in Kansas

Lopov'ed

What a hoot as Hecate shares her Fallout comparisons. Flying deathclaws indeed! Love her big ponytail, Triss outfit and trademarked HecateSpecs. You’ve done a fabulous job with her!

Cripes SR, her face looks like an oil painting in that fourth pic.

I was gonna say she lost her glasses when she got Lasik eye surgery. But then, I realized she hasn't been to an Earth game like GTA CoD.

Wow, her bow looks wicked in that BFB pic. What is that, a summoned bow? Or did she borrow a mythic piece from Buffy?

Cool, looks like we'll have some fun in Skyrim this winter. :cold:

Welcome, Hecate, welcome to Skyrim!

Looks like she, just like NCR soldiers, wished for a nuclear winter and got it!

She's hot - with spectacles she looks like a naughty teacher.

Hecate learns that deathclaws are even larger in Skyrim, not to mention they can fly, but soon she'll learn that they're not nowhere as dangerous as the wasteland ones. Or maybe she won't learn that if she won't pursue the MQ.

What's a chaurus doing in Bleak Falls Barrow?

Lopov'ed and looking very good.

Acadian: Hecate came out well. Though I still miss an actual sniper rifle for her, like her Mk 14 EBR or M110.


Renee: She wouldn't be Hecate without her trademark glasses. She has the Four Eyes trait after all (at least in the games that have Traits)...

Her white bow is from the Spectral Bow and Arrows mod. I decided to stop using it because the white glow of the bow was so bright it was making my eyes nightblind in dark interiors.


Lopov: This whole snow thing is a new experience to Hecate. Not to mention rain!

I am actually going to try to do the main quest with Hecate. We will see if I can get through it though. I have never managed it before in Skyrim.

I removed all the spiders in my game a long time ago, and replaced them with critters like skeevers, wolves, bears, and chaurus.


Spells to soothe the savage beast

Rockstar

Wow, this praying stuff never worked in the Wasteland!

Straight shooter

Unhand me mutie!

Down

Wow, great shots hon, you must really be having fun.

So I know all of yours have different roles they follow combat-wise. Was Hecate your sniper, or one of your snipers, in Fallout 4?

My favorite this time is Straight Shooter. Love all the darkness in that one, and the look on her face, even though half-covered.

More good shots of Hecate and her glasses. And her bow of course.

At least in Skyrim she can soothe the beasts.

Lol, Wood Elves are the Mutants of Skyrim. Well in a way they are. Sorry Acadian.

Hecate is in "Boston"!

In the wastes she was skilled with a sniper rifle but obviously she's unmatched with a bow too.

Hey hey!!

Here is a quick shot of Nassqa, my Akaviri ore-miner. He just got chased by a sabercat, and he escaped by going down some waterfalls. Look on his face is priceless.

Some beautiful - and nostalgic - bow action shots in Skyrim! With a few tweaks, archery really is very fun in Skyrim.

Mutants? Heh, we get called that and worse in ESO.

Renee, priceless expression there on Nassqa indeed!

I think I know which sabrecat that was, down the hill from Ivarstead. I assume he managed to bypass the troll by going around the back of its cave.

Yes. That would have made a good Where am I?

Renee: It is nice to get back to Skyrim. It has been long enough that there are things I have forgotten, and am discovering anew.

Hecate was a sniper in the Fallout games. She used an M110 Semi Automatic Sniper System in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and an Mk14 EBR in Fallout 4. One shot, on kill is her creed.

Naasqua looks really ticked off!


Lopov: I turned the Animal Allegiance shout into three spells of varying strength that make animals friendly. The game is a lot nicer when I do not have to kill every wolf or bear I run across.

There are tons of muties in Skyrim! But no signs of radiation. Obviously the apocalypse must have happened a long time ago in this land...


Acadian: It took me a week, but I finally remembered you can zoom in with the right mouse button when using a bow! I am starting to get back in the way this game is played.


Sven is definitely on the outs...

Magic is much better than stimpacks

Sniper by moonlight

The Lopov shot

Feral Ghoul!

Close up

AWW she's cooking! How domestic! Even sniper/bowgirls get into the cooking pot sometimes.

Really love that moonlight shot, that's lovely. And the last one. She's got that determined look. `

Wonderful shots, and so glad to see Hecate adjusting nicely to the medieval fantasy tundra. Properly modded, I did indeed find Skyrim to be a magnificently satisfying archer/sniper hunting ground. After 4K hours in the game with only one character though, it did grow to feel. . . a bit small and overly familiar.

Maybe you just started a tradition by taking screenies of other NPCs in the game with only the leg of the PC being visible, that would be called the SubRosa shot.

Magic better than stimpaks - hmpf, Hecate is already turning her back to the wastes.

Sniper by the moonlight is fantastic.

Lopov'ed in Whiterun.

Wherever you walk, there are feral ghouls, right?

When I read "close-up" I thought it'll be of the feral ghoul.

Renee: That is actually Camilla that is doing the cooking. Hecate is the leg off at the far left in the picture.

I love the moons in Skyrim. They are always begging for screenshots.


Acadian: Skyland got old for me too. But since I have left it alone for over a year, I find I am rediscovering some things again. Especially dialogue. I am hearing things which I swear is for the first time. Which could be, it has been many years since I did the vanilla start of the game, and seen Hadvar and Ralof, or talked to Jarl Balgruuf and Farengar.


Lopov: Some people might think Skyrim is a harsh, unforgiving land. But they have never been to the Wasteland!

The funny thing is I find Fallout's Feral Ghouls much more creepy than any of the real undead in the ES games!


Sniper vs Flying Deathclaw

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

How about a breath mint?

Up close

Deathclawborn?

Did that mountain just say something to me?

OH no, Hecate killed Killer Frost's pet!

OKay I see. Duh, that cook from the last batch hasn't got glasses. My bad. I'll have to do a couple pics with that style though. Yeah, when I launch Laprimma, I'll do a couple leg pics of her, off-screen.

Hecate kills her first flying deathclaw but not before it refreshed her with its icy breath.

An arrow straight to its uvula.

Is she floating in the pic when absorbing its soul?

Do the mountains speak?

I'm so glad that you and Hecate are enjoying Skyrim. I can imagine how coming back after a time off would be pretty nice - it is a neat game, after all. Great dragon fightin' shots of Hecate and her bow in action!

Renee: Not to worry, Killer Frost has other icy pets to play with...


Lopov: Hecate was floating. My pose mod has a pose called Ascent that does that. It is something from the vanilla game, though I am not sure when it normally happens. It goes well with absorbing dragon souls.

The mountain speaks when there are Greybeards on it!


Acadian: After the last few dragon fights, I am starting to think Hecate might need to get a bigger boat bow...


The New Mutants

Hmmm, maybe Hecate should read this?

Just another day at Breezehome

Baking some tasty treats

Sneaking

My Word

Hey those are some odd things. I'm assuming a mod added that giant book? If not... how did I miss that all this time? And what is that phantasm-looking essence in Breezehome! Yikes!

Ah yes, dragon fights. In her Skyprime, Buffy did well with those - a combo of strong bowpower and maxed out magic resistance (Breton blood from her father, the Mara questline, every trick to max it out).

Fun pictures of life in Skyrim for Hecate. Cooking and such. Heh, darn kids - always letting the atronach out of the bottle. 'My Word' is cute - and wonderfully titled.

After Super Mutants Hecate meets Furry Mutants. At least they're friendly, though.

What a big book! Even bigger than the Black Books of Hermaeus Mora.

The child is not to be blamed for the summoned creature.

Ovens in Skyrim at least work compared to those in the wastes.

She seems to be quite high on that fallen tree. I don't recognize the location, though.

I love how she's still wearing her superhero outfit as she's cooking.

Renee: I am using a Breezehome mod, and the giant book is part of it. It is the readme for the mod. Obviously the author wanted people to read it!

The phantasm-thing is a summoned Cyclone, from my Aedra Summoning mod. It is just a Storm Atronach that I renamed to make it an Aedra. That is all Hecate summons, at least so far.

Hecate's superhero outfiit is her only clothes! Nothing else looks nearly as good.


Acadian: I don't have a lot of experience with fighting dragons. I usually never see them in my games! For things so gigantic, they are gosh darn difficult to hit when they are flying around. I am using a mod that reskins them, and I cannot remember if makes them tougher as well. They are not easy fights, that is for certain.


Lopov: There seem to be more mutants in Skyrim than in the Wasteland! But at least the Skyrim ones seem better behaved. At least most of them. OTOH, in the Wasteland the humans are the feral ones!

I might even actually do the Hermy Mora stuff in Dragonborn for once. At least the way it is supposed to be done. I typically work around the entire DB main quest so I don't have to do it.

That fallen tree is the one in south-west Eastmarch, that goes across the big river ravine. The area north of Ivarstead. There is always a bandit sitting on top of it. It makes me think of King Kong.



Attacked by Miraak's Cultists

Hot under the collar

Hecate and her Cyclone

In the end, there can be only one

Super smack down

This must be how Buffy feels around the rest of us...

Relaxing by the fire

Dinner

What a wonderful set of shots!

Heh, to an archer, a 'ward' spell simply marks her target. I remember that area with those skellies standing so conveniently all together in a puddle of oil to light off. Love Hecate's Stormie. 'Only One' is a cool shot and marvelously titled.

Buffy tried that big ponytail but felt like it was bigger than she was and Superian teased her. Hecate wears it well though. Speaking of Buffy, yes, that is exactly how she feels sometimes! Has to jump up onto the counter to get a clerk's attention.

Relaxing by the fire is just magnificent! The cozy feel, beautiful room and Hecate's pose is picture perfect!

The only cool thing about Miraak's cultists are their masks.

Cyclone's is Hecate's Kevin Costner - bodyguard.

I like the floating effect as she's absorbing the soul. She better hurry to Solstheim else Miraak will capture souls instead of Hecate. Unless that happens only if you go to Solstheim and then return to Skyrim without finishing the MQ there, I don't recall anymore.

Sittin' like a Jarl!

Bon appetit, girls.

The Miraak stealing souls thing only starts when you've read the first book at his temple. Before that, he doesn't know about you, so he doesn't interfere. As you point out, it will happen anywhere after that, even if you return to the mainland.

And you get them all back when you finally defeat him.

Acadian: Those ward spells do make aiming much easier in the dark!

That ponytail probably is bigger than Buffy!


Lopov: The Miraak Cultist masks make me think of Cthulhu.

The Cyclone has a bad habit of getting in the way and blocking Hecate's shots. Or it stands back and flings lightning bolts instead of intercepting the bad guys charging at Hecate. So I have been experimenting with other critters to summon. When she was lower level she had ice wraiths and salamanders (just an ice wraith I gave a fire effect too), and they worked great. But sadly they do not survive a single hit anymore.


ghastley: I didn't know that about Miraak. None of my characters have ever actually fought him. I was not planning on going to Solstheim until after the vanilla game's main quest, so it won't be an issue.


What is it, Dragons?

That is one big Deathclaw

Hecate has balls

Hecate has a new hat

It's a man's world

Hecate does what she does best

Hecate looses the winds

In Thalmor disguise

Sniper

What a beautiful opening shot with the aerial dragon in the snow.

Heh, I remember ‘Hecate’s balls’ quest.

New hat? Nah, no room for that ponytail!

Man’s world? Or is Hecate simply a dude magnet?

Love the shots of Hecate’s sniping in action. I know what you mean about the Stormie getting in the way. SkyBuff settled on Kitsune. The vixen was below Buffy’s line of fire. She was set up to do no significant damage to the ankles or knees of Buffy's foes, but her magical wardings could make a dragon priest wince – a tiny tank.

That is one big deathclaw! A single shot bow is never going to cut it....Automatic weaponry- now that is another thing...Looks like Hecate is scratching under its chin!

Man's world? Who is leading the troop in that pic? Ha!
