That was delightful! I can thoroughly understand Maxical's attachment to Alix. He is adorable! And, no doubt, a great help catching fish. Lol.

I can't watch the Alix the Mouse vids anymore without crying. I had so much fun with him that I locked Vilja up in the Skingrad house with Eyja and took Alix with me everywhere. I poured over more than 200 mouse squeaks to find those particular sounds for him, not sure if I'll be able to fix him back to the way he was, but I'll try. Thank you all so much for all your kind words on Alix - and on the fishing pole, which is also broken now (but I don't care so much about it).


For anyone interested, here are the two vids of my Final Exam mod, it is two houses in the Black Marsh region(each with a basement), two horse stables, and two gardens. The properties are connected by a bridge. I can't upload the mod because it is in the same spot as the instructor's mod, but at least I graduated, lol. Here is the vids:

Great job mALX! I really like the garden you put in! And I was happy to see no drown animals!

So pretty! I love the way the water is all around. The glowing stones add a nice touch. Is that what’s shining under the water? No worries about falling off of the dock in the dark.

Ditto on the garden. Did I see Nirnroot being successfully cultivated? Yay!

The house is so nice inside! I like how it’s open, but still cozy. Is that shepherd’s pie for dinner? I like the things you put on the table. Two fireplaces, no wonder is has such a welcoming feel.

The sliding doors downstairs are neat. Plenty of meat and mead, is that Vilja’s room? Is this the closet, oops, no, it’s the Doom World.

The houses look great together. I really like the stable area, it looks well-equipped. Who left the unicorn on the bridge? That’s how they do it in Bravil.

Great job, I really enjoyed the tour!!

I fully agree with Grits. Loads of neat little touches! I love the underwater lighting and outdoor carpets. Great job, mALX!

She's pretty! I think there is a way to make her totally white though if you are interested.

Oh my gosh, she looks amazing!! Beautiful and tough at the same time, and clean like I would expect from Maxical. She is among the few mortals in Skyrim who own soap. I love her coloring!

Thank you both !! My fave is the last picture, I should have put it on top, lol.


I didn't think I could love the new look, but she is so darn cute walking - not sexy - just cute. And so clumsy, lol. I have fallen in love with her all over again.

So far she has numerous times missed with the bow, numerous times whacked away at her allies in melee combat, ran into a nest of spiders trying to cast using the "C" instead of the mouse clicker, one wife thinks she is after her husband, one husband thinks she is after him (and he ran away saying he had a wife, to leave him alone!

- she is still Maxical as I know and love her !!!!

Maxical looks great, and I'm so glad you feel her with you in Skyrim!

Maxical's latest screens - with Quaranir, her soon to be husband if the codes work on him, lol.

Heh, Maxical is more comfortable showing off than Aravi is! Who is the gentleman she's after?

Fur on fur looks good on Maxical! I love her eyes.

And a hooded dark stranger?

Oh, these are great!! I can see why Maxical wanted a peek under Quaranir's robe before she says yes, he really is covered up, even his eyes! I about fell out of my chair when you said "He has blonde hair, that was a surprise." Of course my mind was not on his beard.

She looks great in that Forsworn armor! Is she going to buy a house for Quaranir?

Thank you all for coming to see Maxical in Skyrim !!

@ KC - that is Quaranir, the Psijic Priest from Winterhold College. Maxical really likes him, but we'll see if he can be made to marry, lol.

@ Acadian - that is some armor she picked up fighting a wild faction of banshees - but their armor has very high ratings and is light, so she kept it, lol. She is like a walking tank in it, believe it or not !! (and altogether it weighs under 15-20 pounds !!

@ Grits - I guess I should have mentioned his dark beard moustache as the reason for my surprise, lol. His hair is very blonde, but he has a tiny bit of dark chest hair and a dark moustache. Very unusual (clean body and clean clothes too!) Maxical bought the house in Markarth, but just found out spouses will not come to it and sleep with their mates. URK !!

I posted this somewhere, but I think the link has been broken thanks to TOM at Myspace and all his stupid fiddling.


This is Maxical as drawn by my son's girlfriend. She made the amulet for healing, you can't see it on this small image but in the center of the amulet is a heart. (for anyone who remembers Maxical died in her first story, this was made to heal her) :

That is such a beautiful drawing of Maxical! Wow.

Thanks for digging that up for me.

Oh, how pretty! She has such a sweet look on her face. What is she planning?!

Thank you for sharing this, mALX!

ROFL I wouldn't want to bump into that. KILL IT WITH FIRE! Zombie Rona is hilarious though. Once a highwayman tried to rob Westley. The creepiest part is the highwayman was...inside out, sort of. He had no face so his eyes were bulging out of his head and you could see his gums,teeth, and tongue. He didn't have legs either, so he was just sort of hovering above the ground.

Not when you can bump the entire thread . . .




I kid. I'm glad you did, cause I always feel bad about updating older threads. So now we can pester mALX all we want! Hahaha! Beautiful drawing of Maxical, by the way!

I don't mean to bump dead threads. I usually don't notice they're dead Why do you feel bad about updating older threads?

Yeah, if they last post was years ago, then it's dead. I don't get why the "who's online" section has many people visiting old threads . . .and they're guests!!

I just don't do it because I'll be "that guy,"



But I might do a few necro bumping here and there.

ROFL !!! Scared the living H out of me when I saw her laying there to begin with, then I saw her face and freaked! Had to kill her, I couldn't have THAT in my little secret hideout, lol.

I LOVE that drawing! It has been hanging over my desk where I write the story ever since she gave it to me! She also drew me a Vault Boy from Fallout 3 for my Birthday that year.

And her I thought necromancy would be right up your alley! (haha, just kidding).

I found those screens of Rona hilarious. If that had happened in my game, I would have kept her there so if I had a bad day, I could come home and have a good laugh. The highwayman I bumped into is a different story though. I had nightmares for a week after I saw him, and was convinced he was hovering around in my attic

Well, I had already got rid of her before making that mod, didn't think about it when the shop reformated my PC and I had to reload the game. I go bopping into my secret lair and NO ONE is supposed to be in there at all. When I first saw her laying in bed, didn't realize it was Rona at first because she looked so weird! Just saw a zombie in a dress laying in Maxical's bed inside her secret lair where NO ONE is supposed to be anyway - I screamed, lol.

Any idea what brought her back from the dead? By the way, what's sticking out if Rona's head? It looks like roots sticking out of her head.

What put her back into the game was that when they reformatted the hard drive I had to reload the game and all my mods. Killing her off wasn't part of the mod, so when I reloaded the game it reloaded Rona. The thing with how weird she looked - I don't know how that happened at all. It looked like Argonian spikes coming out of her head or something, maybe it was Harrida roots growing up through the floor of the cave or something. But where the rest of her face went ... that is the big question, lol.

Maybe she was mad that you killed her before so she intentionally deformed her face to scare you

It seriously looks like someone glued some roots to her head though. Maybe someone stuck a potato in her head?

She was "Mrs. Potato Head," ROFL !!! Knowing she was a vampire - that freaked me out too, lol. I didn't know what was going to happen, expected her to get up and attack me at any moment, lol. I drew my sword right away, lol.

In the shivering Isles DLC, Some zombies I assumed were dead got up and killed me. Honestly, in-game zombie Rona looks hilarious, but if I bumped into her in real life, I'd probably swim to the other side if the world

You expected her to get up and attack you? That's fine, vampires can't be trusted. What would you have done if she did get up and attack you?

Same thing I did when she didn't. Honor Blade of Chorrol to the stomach, ROFL !!!

I find it fun to be chased by my enemies, especially when they accidentally kill themselves by jumping down a steep hill to get me

I do too, it adds a lot of excitement to the game! In Oblivion, I always get the Bleak Mine guards chasing me, they will hound you everywhere you go (even into Oblivion gates!) and are very tough fighters - there are six of them if you manage to release the Ogres without killing any guards.

Audens Avidius will follow you anywhere too, but is a weak fighter and it isn't as thrilling.

The King Lich at Miscarand is a great one to have chase you, so is Sithis.

(Umbra will chase you relentlessly, but I don't like attacking her for no reason)

The Unicorn will chase you relentlessly too, all you have to do is draw a sword out to tick it off - but I don't like it dying so don't upset it except by accident.

The only stalker I never activated in Oblivion was the Khajiit from the "Collector" questline - liked him too much to make him mad.

Lord Lovidicus is fun to be chased around by too. He's very fast though.

Mountain lions are the best to be chased around by though. They disappear sometimes, and when you least expect it, they jump out at you. It scared the crap out of me once, but it's fun.

Wolves and mountain lions won't attack Maxical, don't know why. They will stand beside her or sit, it is nice for pictures. Also, bandits won't attack her, they talk to her like she is an NPC. The highwaymen do attack her though, so do all the other beasts.

Everything tries to kill poor Westley. Sometimes random civilians in the cities come up to him and try to murder him

I had a werewolf mod for Oblivion that would change you to a werewolf on a full moon. If you weren't expecting it and suddenly changed, everyone in the city would chase you trying to kill you.

I've always wanted that mod, but you can't play oblivion on a Mac.

It was the best mod I ever played, I loved it!

I'll never know if the mod is cool or not, because I have a Mac

(I'm fine with having a Mac, but I wish I could play oblivion on it )

I'm guessing your more if a werewolf person then?

Just wanted to pop on here and show everyone the wonderful gift I just got from King Coin! The artwork is done by Juliana, who also draws KC's Aravi pictures for him. I hope you all will check out her other work on the site, she is a wonderful artist!

Here is the picture King Coin had made of her (click on image to enlarge it):
