Seeing the "See Sethyas" thread I thought it would be nice for us all to post some updated screenies of our characters we use in game/fanfics etc... I have a few new ones myself that I could post for everyone's viewing pleasure.



^ Xander Casting a Healing Spell.



^ Minque's favorite



^ Xander looking over Anvil from his balcony.



^ A face not even a mother can love.



^ Not very impressed at all.



^ Speak softly, and carry a huge axe!

And there you have it folks! Feel free to post all of your characters here!

Unfortunately, I don't play Oblivion on the computer, and my digital camera is real quirky and skittish. I think I'm getting another one for Christams, so I'll try to get a screenshot of Ian then...... But as far as Revan, it's unlikly that I can get a screeny of him (seeing as he's not a member of a playable race in Oblivion or Morrowind).

But this thread is a great idea, and I hope more people post their characters on this topic.

Please don't mind the graphic glitches. I'll get a decent bit of hardware in say....2 years.

So meet, Luper.

One Ordinator is going to have a major headache.


Luper is not your average Redguard. Sure, he loves his sword but he also loves fire. Lots of fire. Also, don't worry, the Telvanni are used to this.

Mighty Luper. Glad to see you adding some pics to this thread Cloudy. Nicely done and hopefully you can beef up the old PC so you can play Oblivion soon.

Not as good as the previous ones, but here he is. Also, I couldn't get a good front view so you're stuck looking at his back.

I present to you, the most overpowered mage in the Luper series. An acient vampire with a mastery over Magicka that makes Vivec look like a child. The Wanderer with the power to cross over to various planes, like a living Sigil stone. It's none other than Aureus Lucis.

When he came into town, the Hlaalu were intrigued. When they found out more about him, including his opinion on corruption, they decided that honest trading was good for business.



And yes, that's a Nord hairstyle on an Imperial head. It was the closest thing to what I actually wanted. Only the funky tail needs to be removed.

Well, heres a HORRIBLE shot I took with my phone off my TV...its Sethyas, as I play him, with that badarse Bonemold Longbow, in the Shrine of Azura.





And heres another one, with him in the underdeck of teh chun-ook, holding a dwemer crossbow. Yes, he knows how to use that, and yes, he will use it.

Well I know you´ve seen her before..but anyway, here she is, Serene Catraso at your service!

It's too bad that the X-box doesn't support screenshots. Still, that doesn't remove Sethyas' coolness at all. Nah, I'll just imagine that he has a low level chameleon working.


Yup, I've seen Serene before. *looks at the lower-right corner of the screen* Allow me a little off-topic comment. Enchantment overload in Gnisis!

well, everyone sure looks cool, I might have some shots of my characters that I can dig up for you all, granted they will be none that you know....

and yes 'tis a shame that xbox can't have screen shots. I'm sure there is a way to wire you xbox and your computer up but i don't know.

and who is that chick Minque, i don' think i've seen her in these parts... jk she looks good as always

Howdy.
I don't play oblivion much anymore, but here's one of my characters, Jonas Sancter:

Jonas1
Jonas2
Jonas3
Jonas4

A bit of costum texturing, nothing fancy. I change the textures a bit for all my characters.

i like that last one, its wallpaper worthy

Thanks! Yeah, I thought it was quite cool as well.

And I've made a new character.. a more comical one. You might recognize some of the textures from my art thread.
Captain America
Captain America throws his mighty shield
Captain America blocking
badass captain america
Cap' and unicorn 1
Cap' and unicorn 2
Cap' and unicorn 3

Heh... I decided to finish the crazy captain america armor. I like how it turned out.. I used the bump map of chainmail under retextured imperial dragon armor, because after all, cap wears chainmail. I just recently fixxed the glow problem with the mask after taking these screenshots. And I always thought the unicorn was cool in the game, kind've badass, not like the pink fluff and rainbow unicorns you see everywhere else. So I just had to make a fruitier unicorn. I'm debating on whether I should release it.. i mean, it's crap, but someone might find it amusing.

ha ha ha the unicorn is hilarious, you see the cap'n ridding a pink unicorn... not exactly what you'd expect

I've been playing this game lately called Super Robot War. (It's somewhat similar to Fire emblem and for the GBA.) In it, one of my favourite characters is Sanger Zonvolt. Why? Because he pilots one of the biggest robots and uses a sword more than twice as big (Called the Colossal Blade). That, and he has some great lines.


So, I decided to recreate him in Morrowind. (It took a female grayscaled hairdo.) Now here's a funny situation that happened in a smuggler's cave. I'd say Sanger himself says it best.
,,I am Sanger Zonvolt! The sword that smites evil! There is nothing I cannot cut!"
Yup, that includes the legs of our poor smuggler.

One last thing about the Colossal Blade. Compared to the robot holding it, it is much larger than the Claymore in the pic. So yes, it is Colossal.

OK, here comes that shady argonian assassin, Always-He-Lingers-in-the-Sun... don't mess with him.

Wielding his famous crossbow...

It was an accident, I swear!

Nice blade!

For a guy called 'Always-He-Lingers-in-the-Sun' he seems to enjoy the shadows, heh. I love argonians, they're great, I had an awsome unarmored, hand-to-hand argonian in both oblivion and morrowind called 'Choices-Are-His-Own'.

Here are some enw ones of my latest character 'Lectric. That's just a nickname, I haven't come up with a full name yet. I have a rather.. dense backstory for him, perhaps someting that will see the 'fan fiction' section.
'Lectric pic one
'Lectric pic two
Both those screens are taken in quest specific places (no real spoilers though...) a shiny nickel to the first one to guess where both of them are.
Edit: yes, custom textured robe, pauldrons, eyes, face...
Gloves are from Slof's goth shop. And yes, I'm aware I overdid it with the lightning.

Oh, Al's got a nice robe. And point that thing somewhere else! *runs before viperbolts fill the air.*

Lectric is a scary dude. Have you figured out a name for him yet?


I just donwloaded and installed both better bodies and better heads. Now finally Jiub no longer looks like he's starving, yay! (Though what happened to his nose looks painfull. He's got like tree really big rings stuck in it.

New mod means starting over again, so here's the latest Luper Alkad. He looks fine, though his nose is a bit too big and he would probably grab the nearest dagger and cut off those two side tails.

This picture is what I call: Yeah, I didn't have a fishing pole so I used my saber instead. It works fine. Not that I would use a fishing pole even if I had one, mind you.


The sidetails are goofy, but he does have a wicked tail at the back to compensate. Oh yeah.

^ In his purloined room in Dagon Fel

Creeping around a smugglers' cave

Odd, the links appear to be broken for me.

This started as a joke and I still laugh when I think of the scenario.

,,I'm your Emperor, Uriel Septim VII! You have no right to do this! I'm not Jagar Tharn in disguise, he's death! Let me out of this jail right at once!"

Uriel Septim VII in jail.

Pixelfest! Meet Cluson Alkad, Luper's dad. In other words, I got Arena to work. Whoopie!

Anyway, he's still first level as you can see with a Goblin as his only kill. My first venture into the character screen was rather amusing. Those guards must be really dumb to throw a guy in jail but letting him keep his Broadsword.

I just recently got Morrowind on the computer and I don't know how to take screenshots. How do you take screenshots?

You need to go into your Morrowind folder, open up a notepad document(with a gear in the thumbnail image) also called 'Morrowind', and maybe scroll down a little until you come to 'screen shot enable=0'. Change the '0' to '1'. Then, when you want to take a screenshot all you'll have to do is press the 'Print Screen' button in-game. Screenshots should save to your Morrowind directory.

Edit: And here's a shot of everyone's favorite cold-blooded, seriously disturbed argonian assassin!

Loving the pictures folks. Very nice work indeed. The arena pic kind of knocked me off my chair. I wasn't expecting it at all. But a very powerful family tree if Cluson is Luper's dad. Apple not falling far from the tree and whatnot. Good work all.

I personally don't understand why screenshots are disabled by default. I'd changed the ini file before I even fired up the game for the first time.

And that's one sweet pic of Al. An action shot, love it. (Though he's not exactly stealthy here, is he? )


And Taillus, it kind of depends on your point of view whether or not Cluson is Luper's dad. Biologically, Luper is 100% Akatosh. This would mean he only has one parent. On the other hand, you could add in Azura's part in his creation and say that Akatosh is his dad and Azura his mum.
Finally, he was raised by a crew of mortal Redguard smugglers. Cluson was their leader.

Anyway, I made another pick. I've made quite a bit of progress. Look at all the sweet stuff I have! It's not visible in the list, but he's also wearing a bracelet of agility and a mithril belt. (10 agility from the bracelet and an even lower AC from the belt. Love it.) I never use the cuirass' enchantment though. He leaps far enough without it.

Bragging time. After a long trek into a foul Valenwood pit, across dangerous waters, past deep chasms, through an unending horde of Spellswords (Gah, fireballs and a weakness to Magicka!), I have uncovered one of the greatest relics ever.

That's right, it's Auriel's magnificent longbow! This thing is neat! You won't believe the firing rate this monster has. I can fire two arrows before the first one lands on a rat standing two steps away. On the other hand, what does a knight need with a bow? And it has already passed from New to almost new. I wonder if it is because of the arrows or the single time I tried its spell. If the durability rating is attached to the spell usage, then using it as a normal bow would make it indestructible!


And here's the ingame description.


Now all I need to do is to get out of there.

So here is my current Morrowind character, Rashelle.

http://users.bestweb.net/~pogo/piccy/rashelle_v2_armor.jpg

She's a Breton Spellsword, born under the sign of the Atronach. The black cuirass is from a plugin that changes the look of the ebony armor. Dark brotherhood greaves and adamantium boots complete the look. The armor on the left is just a mishmash of armor types she had when at a lower level. The sword is Chrysamere.

She is gorgeous! A bit as I imagined her to be...sweet blockie!

My dad gets home tonight, so tomorrow I will be asking him where the camera is (Don't have the PC version), then I will be posting a picture of my beloved character Larrius Varro. Perhaps I will even get a pic of him entering the Shivering Isles...

Not a character I'm playing as, but I just have to post him. One reason: He's badass, totally badass.

Tharny! The coolest evil Battlemage in Tes history. King of Worms, Dagoth Ur, Barenziah on a bad day? They're nothing compared to this multi-blooded Battlemage. And unlike most villains, he's got a reason to stay home and letting his minions do the job.
1: His minions are so powerful, few mortals can stand longer than five seconds against them.
2: He's got a fricking empire to rule, don't expect him to go out and hunt the whole continent for a little rat.

Oh, I nearly forgot the pic.

See, he's really cool looking. In fact, he's so cool I made him into my avatar. Unfortunately I had to cut out the equally cool staff. It passed the pixel budget and the resulting rescaling made Tharn look like he hadn't eaten in days.

And on a side note, here's a pic of Fang Lair, the place where the first piece is hidden.


Apart from the fact that it shows the architectural change in Dwemer work between Arena and Morrowind, there is the interesting detail of all the Dragon statues. In particular, the Dragon just right of the castle. Is it just me, or is this dragon in the same position as the one you find on the Templar cuirass in Morrowind? Or the box art of pre-GOTY morrowind.

I've only got one screeny from Oblivion, that I took with my phone (It's on my Xbox 360) and that is my character's face:

I'll try get more soon.

~Hamish~

That picture...also in your avatar, is the same CCNA use at the official forums! I got quite a scock seeing it, I thought he had joined chorrol! Anyway I like it very much! It´s so cool!

Always-He-Lingers-in-the-Sun is back in black.

Hmm, black is good. Yes, very good. And is that Mournhold in the background? Neat.

And I've done it. It was a four hour struggle that has not yet ended. (books don't work.) BUT DAGGERFALL WORKS!!!!!!! Eh, sorry. I just had to shout that. If only I had a manual so I knew what button did what.

So here's my Daggerfall character. Semir Grey. Yup, I'm not too modest here. He is the Emperor's most trusted servant. (Well, with Tharnie gone, he doesn't have much competition left.)



Semir was sent to Daggerfall to stop a ghost army and destroy a lost letter that should have arrived years ago. Nothing big. Sure, he had to come out of retirement for it, his skills are a tad rusty, and he doesn't even know where to start. But he doesn't think it will be that hard. Hop on a boat, sail to Daggerfall, whack some baddies, have a drink, go home and collect the cash. Simple, not?

But as luck would have it, his ship crashed and he's now stranded in a cave filled with rats, bats, a skeleton, some bears and several cannibals. How will he get out of there, without any weapons to use? Fortunately, he is a weapon himself. As you can see in the pic, he's rather pissed at life right now. Pissed old Breton with elite fists of unstoppable punishment = bad odds for the baddies.


And I must say I consider Daggerfall's emperor much better than Oblivion's. This guy is bald, sits in a dark room and NEVER smiles. Not even when he says: ,,...and as a friend." I think he's damn cool, and so is his mage friend with the torch. Compare this with Oblivion's Uriel who not only has a pathetic hairdo in my opinion, but every shot I've seen of him has him smiling as if he just won the lottery. Smiling while he knows that his painfull death is mere moments away.

This is the most beautiful Argonian I've ever seen - in Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion. Very exquisite character design!

Do you sense a Daggerfall story forthcoming, Jack? You know, after you finish all your other stories. If ever. You've got a lot of stories.

Oh Man, thats like looking in a mirror with Sethyas "Fan Fiction" Playthrough right now!

Well then, more reflections of Sethyas "Fan Fiction" Playthrough then! (I actually just 'finished' Tribunal for about the 6th time here, I think, but never have I enjoyed more than by playing Al. He's real fun.)


^Enjoyed creeping around this place


^Gets nerve-wracking here


^Another day, another few permanently dead undead


^Almalexia


^No! Later!


^So tempting... so tempting...must resist urge...

LMAO!!!

The quests don't work, including the main quest. I'm going to reinstall and see what happens. I hope it will work properly because if it does, a Daggerfall fanfic will definitely be on the list.


Now to the comments on the pics.

Pull the trigger, pull it! You know you want to!

So cool that you've got Daggerfall Jack! I've only ever played the demo, but I simply loved it, despite the graphics. I particularly like the fact that you can change the style of one particular piece of armour to make it look just like you want it to.

And to give you all food for thought, imagine if you had Daggerfall with Oblivion graphics. Wouldn't it be amazing? Then imagine if you have Oblivion with Daggerfall graphics. How would that be? Now compare Daggerfall to Oblivion and see which one has better gameplay. Pretty enlightening ain't it?

Well unfortunately, my dozen reinstalls all crapped out. At the moment I'm at the point where character creation works like a charm and so do the intro movies. But at the moment where Privateer's hold is supposed to load, I get a black screen and nothing. I've waited half an hour (multiple times) and still nothing.

Here's an image of my current Ob character, Madrukh Gro-Bogrum. Sorry for the name borrowing Jack.

The link apparently leads to the Imageshack mainpage, and not your picture itself. Pity.

I've noticed. I'll try to tinker with it and solve the problem.

[img=http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/7392/oblivion18gv5.png]



Two links ought to do it.

EDIT: Since it worked, I'll post another one and see if it works.



Madrukh getting drunk at the Flowing Bowl.

Nylea at her indoor fountain/garden. This is in The Elder Vaults Island mod. Just a sneak preview from the building process. This house actually is a Potions Cottage belonging to Maja, our hotfingered Battlemage .. she likes to pick up trinkets now and then so the potion selling is a good cover for her more dishonest tendencies.



http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x224/Br...ntaingarden.jpg

Woah, Griff. That's awesome. I like him, up to the hair. Hey, can I copy this one over to Madrukh's character thread? The name is funny by the way. I have Gro-Bolg Madrukh, while yours starts with the Madrukh bit. I've got to check the Imperial library though. Adding Gro- to a name sounds Orsimer, but what does it mean? 'warrior' or something?

And is that Orcish armour in the first pic?

And you can actually become drunk in Oblivion? Sweeeeeettt!!!! (Says the guy who absolutely hates alcohol in real life to the point it borders on alcoholphobia)


Nice cottage, Ibis. I see you have flowers for alchemy (or just decoration), paintings, a dwemer lamp. The only thing I'm not sure about is the giant cross. Maybe it's just me, but christianity and TES don't feel like a good match.

"Gro-" is a patronym which means "son of", kind of like the Arabian term "bin". That, ironically, makes your Orc's name kind of odd, if not a bit backwards. As to wheter you can use it, of course you can. And, regarding your first question, yes that cuirass is Orcish. So are the gauntlets and the boots (which can't be seen). It is worn armour however, so it isn't as good as a top-knotch Orcish cuirass.

And you can't get drunk in vanilla Oblivion. That's where mods come in. I have something like 5-7 mods but OOO is the most important. It really makes Oblivion the game it should have been. It replaces the levelling system with a more Morrowind-like system in which enemies stop levelling once they reach a certain level. Also, unlike Oblivion, Orcish armour doesn't appear past level 15. My character for example, is level 3 but he got his Orcish armour while raiding a fort at level 1. I suggest you get OOO since Oblivion is horrid without it. It also adds a realistic economy system, realistic animal behaviour and getting drunk!

Yeah, I found out. Gro- means as much as male and is put before the family name. That does make my name kind of odd. On the other hand, isn't it customary in say Japan to put the family name before the personal one? I remember Masaki Andoh once identifying himself as Andoh Masaki. Though here we're talking about a fictional Japanese in a translated game originally from Japan so it isn't perfectly accurate. That, and I was too busy drooling at his giant robot to really notice anyway.

I know about OOO and will download it, but not now. Downloading a full gigabyte worth of modding for a game I can't currently run in the first place goes a bit too far.

The realistic animal behaviour (and the levelled list change) sounds like some of the top points basic Ob is really missing. I know it is an RPG, but I kinda get pissed at how everything including my grandma wants me dead in these kind of games.

And you never see wolf packs or anything, and it's so easy to fight wolves because if you dodge the first split second of their bite then they'll continue the action for another two seconds and you get a free attack in.

I hope TES: V will be like Oblivion, but address the shortcomings well enough. I still play Oblivion on the 360, so I don't have the luxury for mods (other than dowloads) like you PC users. I've never been able to play Morrowind for more than a couple of hours, and the game just seemed slow and annoying to me.
The speed your moving should match more with how fast your legs are moving, and you can tell that shoulders and torsos are indepenant of one another just by looking at them.

So as bad as Oblivion is sometimes made out to be, I whole-heartedly prefer it over Morrowind.

Oh that cross came because it's a Celtic tavern building. There was the big stone cross outside in a little garden: so when I made the room for my indoor garden fountain, I copied the cross and made it smaller for the water to come out of the base. Took the tapestry from the main room where I put the door to my room instead.


You know, I've always wondered why there weren't any wolf packs in Oblivion. Mighty glad there aren't. But although I've heard of lone wolfs, I think that in real life most wolves roam in packs.
