Some lovely vistas there.

Shouldn't she shower without her armor? Like Buffy?

Nice sunset, a little less nice silt strider.

Great view from under the Dwemer ruins.

Isn't that some movie or some series - Brokeback Mountain? I could google it up myself but I'm too lazy after a long drive back home...

Nice to see the animation of casting a spell from Oblivion in Morrowind.

Acadian: It sounds like ESO has similar Boneheads as they do in Morrowind then.

Jan is way to sensitive about her appearance to even let me see her in her underwear, let alone anyone else.

I think the Bitter Coast is the most beautiful part of the Morrowind. Though the Acadian Isles are quite bucolic as well.


Lopov: It is definitely a nice game to look at.

Brokeback Mountain was a movie, back about 15 years ago. The broken mountain made me think of the name.

It is nice to see any animation in Morrowind!



Friendly Nix Hound

January is a knock out

Ewww!

Not inviting decor

Dremora

Flying High Again

Friendly nix hound. Plenty of nix hounds in ESO. A few NPCs have them as pets but most are hostile.

Knock 'em out with the ol' one-two.

Ewww. Jan will want to wash her hands after knocking that one out.

Not inviting decor. Looks like a former pole dancing studio.

That dremora looks pissed.

Flying high - wow, that is some serious acrobatics!

The Nix Hound may be friendly, but I still wouldn't go to close to him.

Jan against the Sixth House! Is she on some quest or did she stumble upon their hideout by coincidence?

Skeletons and candles - that's how a raider encampment in TES would look like, if there were FO raiders around.

That Dremora would be kinda pretty if he weren't so angry.

Acrobatics or Jetpack?

Acadian: The problem with being a monk, is that you have to wash your hands after every fight...

All the dremora look that way...


Lopov: Jan just went in that 6th House base at random. She's clearing out the west coast, and it was just there.

The Dremora look really good in Morroblivion. Better than in regular Oblivion I think.

January uses a Levitate spell to fly. So neither of the two options.


Ald-Ruhn sunset

Hanging around

MC Escher designed this dungeon

Khuul

Up in the sky

So glad you and January are enjoying MorroBlivion.

More great shots that capture the MW haunting feeling.

Love Jan's new cape!

That dungeon looks not for the faint of heart or for those afraid of heights!

Is Khuul a cool place to visit?

More levitation. Looks like a fun spell.

The sunset is a great pic, it looks like it was taken in a middle of some African desert. Only the pyramids are missing.

Careful that she doesn't fall in that dungeon. Oh wait, she can levitate!

Khuul is more bushy than ever.

Now the question is - is she on this or that side of the Ghostfence?

Acadian: A superhero has to have her cape.

Khuul is in fact, a very uncool place to visit.


Lopov: I love the sunsets in Oblivion, well the Oblivion engine at least. The other games just don't do it as well.

Thank goodness she can levitate. It is the only way to get into certain areas in Morrowind.

She was on This side of the Ghostfence. She has still not worked up the nerve to go beyond it. Yet...


Dropping in

January Cousteau

Touring the Acadian Isles

Sneaky superhero

Gosh, January looks great in MOBW!

The underwater dude. . . is that a cross between a mudcrab, octopus and Dunmer?

Acadian Isles? I have more than one? Who knew.

Looks like Mehrunes Dagon is going to pee on diamonds.

"One more septim and I can become a land dreugh."

Did Jan meet the person, after which those Isles are named for?

Kick that door, Jan!

Acadian: The underwater crab-dude is a Dreugh. I guess the inspiration for the Land Dreughs in Oblivion. I really don't know how that works.

It looks like you have lots of Isles, Acadian. They are really rainy though. But that might just be January...


Lopov: Maybe the diamonds are actually kidney stones?

Jan has not met the eponymous source of the Acadian Isles, yet...




High over the Acadian Isles

Dive bomber

Azura's Coast

Crocodile Rock

Chillin' in the sun

After levitating over rich-with-mushrooms Acadian Isles and full-of-jagged-rocks Azura's Coast, it was time to rock it out and relax among flowers. Finally, the weather improved too.

So glad January is still enjoying Morroblivion! Some flying, then doing the Crocodile Rock, then chillin' in a nice meadow.

Another note to self - religion still scary

Abominable Snowman

Wasn't this the bad guy in Rudolf the Reindeer?

Let's play count the cliffracers

January is in the hot seat

By the Three! Religion Morrowind style!

Wow, that ice dude is one big fellow standing near January.

No cliffracers in ESO. From what I hear, that is a good thing.

Plenty of lava pools for butt warming though.

Mr. Freeze - Schwarzenegger came to Vvardenfell.

I counted eight.

Careful that she doesn't touch that lava pool with her backside.

Lopov: You counted right. Those frakking cliffracers really got annoying until I modded most of the out.

That's Mr. Freeze to you!


Acadian: One of the little things I love about Morrowind are the door handles. They are triangular, for the Tribunal.

The ice dude is a Frost Astonaut of course. A lot different looking from Skyland.

You are lucky there are no cliffracers in ESO! They are so annoying, because of how many there are. Walking around a corner and seeing 8 of them is not at all unusual. It was a mistake by the devs that made them that plentiful. Apparently the Morroblivion creators decided to recreate all the bugs along with everything else. I made a mod that reduced how many of them appear.


Cosmos

Mushroom alley

Predator

Maze

The dearly departed

I spy

Statuesque

Nice shots!

Mushroom alley somehow reminds me of Shivering Isles.

Predator surely does look a bit like the movie namesake!

Good to see your superheroine in a cape!

Aww, nice to see the Mistress of Twilight.

I used some mod that pacified cliff racers. It's been so long that I forgot its name but this feature was just one of them - the mod also pacified slaughterfishes and some other creatures.

The cosmos pic reminded me of the rocket(s) at REPCONN in the Mojave.

The Predator mask looks great!

I don't recognize the place with the maze or with the fallen hero. Both locations look interesting and fairly unique.

Spying on Azura!

And now Azura is spying on her.

Acadian: Shivering Isles is clearly a callback to Morrowind. Just with better graphics.

January would not be super without her cape!


Lopov: In Morrowind proper I used a mod that significantly reduced the number of cliffracers, but did not completely remove them all.

That maze was in one of the tombs. I forget exactly which one. I think it was somewhere on Azura's Coast, though it may have been in Molag Mar. January has been alternating between the two areas for the last week.




January's time in Morroblivion is nearing its close, with only a few regions of Vvardenfell left to explore. So I have been tinkering a bit with her next adventure. I have no decided yet if it will be in Cyrodiil or Skyrim. I did some work on a martial arts mod for Skyrim that works like the ones I created for Morrowind and Oblivion. It worked just as easily. All I had to do was take a mace and shield and remove the models. Unlike in previous games, Skyrim does not give you the big WTF You are Missing a Mesh error in the game. So it worked great. The killmove with the shield even looks like she is sweeping a muay thai elbow across someone's face.


Here is how January will look in Skyrim

Knuckle sandwich

Frazier's Down!

Ride the lightning

I also did some experimenting with a sword and shield

The Witch-King was kind enough to loan January his sword

January gets medieval

Face off

Nice work! And a nice outfit too, it blends well with her shining amulet.

It's the Thrila in Manila with that Argonian. Or maybe the Thrila in Embershard. I'm always "happy" to see Argonian bandits in Skyrim, because they seem much more rare compared to the rest.

Looks like she's good with fists, magic and swords.

January should fit in well in Skyrim - plenty of drunken Nords there what needs a thumpin'.

Lopov: I have not used this outfit since I played Loviatar in Skyrim. Hopefully all the blood has been washed out by now... It looks appropriately superheroic.

I am glad someone got my boxing reference with Frazier!


Acadian: Ironically, the way the game works I am not sure January will be very good at 'normal' fisticuffs, since her Martial Arts are in reality an invisible mace and a shield.


I still have a backlog of Morroblivion pics to get through before moving on to Oblivion or Skyrim, whichever one I decide to dig into next.


Rocky and Bullwinkle

Gone to pieces

Sneaking

Acadian sunset

Up to her nose

Hot spring

Molag Amur sunset

Moose and mALX Squirrel!

Sneaking really shows off January well.

Acadian Sunset is a beautiful shot (and nicely named). Much prettier than a foggy Molag Sunset.

The hot spring looks inviting.

The atronach has gone from pieces to pieces.

Beautiful sunset!

As long as it's not over her nose.

The Hot Spring could be captioned as "Up to her nipples"

Gloomy sunset.

Acadian: Sneaking is my favorite pic of January so far.

It was awfully nice of Bethesda to name the prettiest region of Vvardenfell after you. They must not have liked that Molag guy much...



Lopov: I love those Oblivion atronachs that fly around in little pieces.



January found a new hat

Treasure!

Judo Chop!

Iron Man

Winchester Mansion

This was not in the Michelin Guidebook

Uh oh, I predict helmet hair. . . .

Treasure - is that a Sujama mug perhaps?

Those astronauts don't stand a chance vs CrowGurl.

Winchester Mansion looks seasonally spooky!

Don't need no stinking map. . . .

Acadian: No helmet hair is one of January's super powers...

I would love to know what that weird bottle says!


January found herself in prison!

Thank goodness there was a suit of armor in this convenient chest

Pinky will lead January to freedom

Sneaking

You are one ugly mother fetcher...

Oh captain, my captain!

No trophies of my triumphs precede me

Is that the same helmet which appears in Oblivion during the MG questline?

Looks like her deeds on Vvardenfell got her arrested.

Careful when dealing with goblins, maybe Jayne Goodfall is somewhere close.

The Emperor looks much better in your game! Did you mod him yourself?

No helmet hair super power – neat! Buffy has to use a spell for that.

Uh oh, back in the Imperial Slammer. Wow, Jan’s look is very consistent across her games. Nice job.

Looks like her MW armor came with her.

‘Sneaking’ is a great shot and is beginning to look like her/your signature shot.

Aww, just ask Jayne. . . gobbies aren’t so ugly. Buffy thinks they are just misunderstood ancient calve elves of some sort. Anyone with ears that big can’t be all bad we figure.

Captain Jean Luc Septim of the X-men Empire!

I’ve always been a bit moved by that classic line about no trophies proceed me since I first heard it from the Emperor in 2007.

Lopov: That is the Bloodworm Helmet, which does appear in the latter part of the MG questline. It did not really go with the rest of January's outfit, so she sold it.

I use a mod that changes Uriel and Martin into Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean. Well, their faces at least. They already have their voices after all. I like it, because it gives them the faces to match their voices.


Acadian: I used Oblivion Face Exchange Lite to transfer Jan's face from Morroblivion to Oblivion. So that was simple.

I took the meshes and textures for the chitin armor out of Morroblivion and made a separate mod for it in Oblivion.

If Jayne Goodall Goodfall had been around then Jan would have been more than happy to have peacefully coexisted with the Gobbies. But since was not, Jan went Lord of the Rings on them.

I have always loved that line from the Emperor too. He was a righteous dude.


Sewer sneaking

Mars

Selfie with the moon

Avery managed to send January a new outfit

It seems to be a hit with the locals

Send in the clones

Sneaking again

Nice screenies with the moon(s).

Looking good in ebony-like armor.

Lex is jealous, because January has a better looking armor than he.

Maybe Jan's drunk and she's seeing three Redguards, while there's only one.

Yep, sneaking is January’s signature shot.

Mars? Is that the place where men are from or another name for the big moon over Nirn?

Selfie is fun – and shows that lighter side of Jan.

Woot! Gadget comes through with some fabulous armor. And I see she can’t wait to show her buns of steel off to the Legion.

Lopov: I have always loved the moons in Oblivion. They are great for screenshots.

January is wearing the Eisen Platte Armor. Persephone wore the white version in Oblivion too.

Jan hit the Redguard in the middle, just to be sure.


Acadian: Men are from Masser and Women from Secunda?

That is the first time I have ever used that particular selfie pose. I never thought I would! But January is the perfect person for it.

January would have nothing to wear without Gadget.



Sewer ceiling

January returned to the prison, in disguise

January is lit

Moon over Vilverin

Someone is seriously overcompensating

People always said that January was a Queen

More great shots. Vilverin is particularly atmospheric. Yes, the White Gold Tower certainly has a phallic aspect about it. Oh, and I see what you did there with Queen January.

As long as the jailer won't remember her, she should be fine. I guess he's more interested in her looks, based on his shy smile.

Seeing the Moon over Vilverin reminded me of my 1st character in OB, who spent the night in the tent outside the ruin, just after reading the Immortal Blood. I was convinced that the vampires would attack while sleeping. Well they didn't come, but the mage added by Spell Tomes attacked indeed!

Looks like Ayleids had problems with certain sizes.

On the throne and sitting in a much more appropriate way than bored Jarls of Skyrim.

Acadian: I love Vilverin, it is probably my favorite dungeon in Oblivion.

January will always be a Queen!


Lopov: Turns out the jailer did not remember her. He even let her go down to the prison cells. But there was no one there to visit (I guess Goblin Jayne had already been released).

The Ayleids definitely believed you should go all in, or get out.


Powered up from a Doomstone (I modded them to add the Ice Morrigan Armor

Wine you say?

Follow the rainbow

Another ruin in sight

Two Steps From Hell

Never Back Down

Victory

Veteran of the Psychic Wars

Nice armor, nice weapons, nice flowers!

If she can still levitate as she did in Morrowind, she can actually follow that rainbow.

Even Oblivion is afraid of January.

Get that guy some clothes.

Nerussa!!!! Does January know Nerussa is under the protection of a tiny red haired girl with a Faint Smile?

Cool armor!

Aww, looks like Nerussa. I remember her times with Teresa.

At the end of the rainbow lies a pot of Stormcrow!

Another ruin – your game looks great!

The Oblivion Gate shots are heroically epic.

Looks like she managed to save the dude from his cage – good job!

Lopov: Sadly, I do not much like the Oblivion mods I have found that add flight/levitation. They either just use the TCL command to turn of clipping entirely, or I don't like how they work in general. So Oblivion Jan is nirnbound.

Oblivion should be afraid of January, she is a superhero after all!


mALX: January does not know about the faintly smiling Bosmer yet. No worries, January would never date anyone over 25. I mean that is ancient!


Acadian: There is no way Avery would let January go adventuring looking like a schlub! Nothing but the most styling armor for Detroit's Friendly Neighborhood Crowgirl.

I never liked leaving Menien in that cage. Now that I have mastered the framework of the universe the console, there is no need to let that happen again.


Joining the cause

Charge!

Valhalla Awaits

Götterdämmerung

Hero of Kvatch

Fetching Archers!

Yay, some desperately needed [edit: help] for that brave Savlian Matius. So nice to see January come to his aid.

Some epic shots of the Battle for Kvatch.

"I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took a quiver of arrows to. . . well, everywhere!"

The stars are right

Dar-Ma!

Pirates!

Pieta

January puts the Storm in Stormcrow

Judo Chop!

Up close and personal

Sunset

Yay! January got that Ornery Orrery working! That darn thing is quite unreliable. Buffy had to just recently repair it again back in the 2nd Era.

Dar-Ma’s a sweetie.

Pirates is a cool shot.

Lightning flies from her fingers!

Sunset – Gosh, can’t a girl get some privacy while doing her business?

Acadian: I think it should be called the Ornery, rather than the Orrery...

I was thinking much the same thing when I looked at that picture of January sitting. Where is a chamber pot mod when you need one?

The shock spells are a no-brainer for Jan. Too bad I have not been able to make something similar for the Fallout versions of her.



Dead drunk

Did I just step in something?

Oh dear

Trolling

Relaxing by the fire

I am so not wearing this!

The Three Caballeros

What do you do with a drunken goblin earrrrrly in the morning?

Haha! What a wonderfully clever title when Jan steps in ghostigoop.

Oh deer indeed!

Gee, then you fill a troll with lightning and toss it into the air, they somehow seem a lot less frightening.

Aww, the fire looks cozy.

Whew, nice to know there are others not impressed by the guild's green bags.

Well, Jan and Martin are great. The bald guy. . . not so much. I think Buffy never forgave his ungracious initial behavior. Of course, intentionally referring to him as Jeffery likely didn't help their cool relationship.

Acadian: That was the first and last time Jan ever wore one of those green bags.

How much did you drink Bela?

Looks like the + marks the spot

Five candles

"Hey guys, hold my beer"

Judo Chop!

In the end, there can be only one

A nice sunny day in Oblivion

Wonderful shots, and I'm quite enjoying following January through Oblivion's Main Quest.

Aww, 5 candles and the Mistress of Twilight.

Those Bruma guards watching January about to grab a sigil stone look pretty nervous!

Acadian: I have had fun playing Oblivion again with January. I have forgotten so much of the main quest, that it was practically all new to me again.

Thanks to the Oblivion Crisis, January is very leery of having any dealings with Daedric Princes. Azura and Meridia are the only ones she feels safe interacting with.



Come at me bro!

Great sigil stone

The Emp

Selfie

Paradise awaits

Throwdown!

Chomp!

Twilight of the gods

Reign of the Septims

A wonderful set of screenshots portraying the end of the 3rd Era!

I agree with your endorsement of only Azura and Meridia. In ESO, Azura remains the same (not evil) but Meridia actually rises significantly on the 'good Daedra Lord' scale.

This set of screens is particularly interesting to me since I've recently completed the draft and have begun posting Buffy's Book 3 which also gets Tamriel to the end of the 3rd Era.

My only question is what's next for January?
