My decrepit avatar, his ward and their wolf are about to exit Weye Manor, reclaim their mounts and Groucho and begin a patrol of the Green to Leyawiin, with stop en route to deliver a shipping consignment in Bravil.

You might notice that the gang is setting out on a patrol which, in my previous report, they had only just completed. Sadly, sometime between then and this afternoon the game began crashing more and more frequently. These crashes mostly occurred the first time they zoned through a door after having made a save, assuming the game wasn't exited and relaunched between save and zone. Twice it crashed during the save process itself, corrupting those saves. By this afternoon crashing at a door zone following a save was pretty much constant.

I've added no new mods in ages. My a-bomb counter is comfortably safe at circa 16%, as measured by Wrye Bash. Bash found no bloating within those saves.

I had, however, experimented with ENBoost, a supposed game stabilizer and performance enhancer, several days ago, but soon removed it because it exacerbated objectionable micro-stutters when traveling near a graphically intense area such as the Imperial City. Not sure why ENBoost would cause problems. It does not install in the data folder. Nor does it change Oblivion.ini. Still, it's all I had to go on. I'm not sure exactly when I installed/removed ENBoost, but the downloaded file is dated 9/13/2016. To be safe I removed all saves created after 9/12/2016, which saw the gang about to exit Chorrol, where they had gone following their Anvil patrol to restock their Second-Hand Sales shoppe.

I hope I'm not jinxing myself by stating that, between exiting Chorrol and now, the game has not crashed, despite numerous saves and zonings.

The saddest thing about losing all those saves is that they include one of the most immersionistic romps through RockMilk I ever witnessed. On the other hand, their ride up the Yellow on the way home stank to high heaven, one unimmersionistic event after the other in fairly rapid succession from start to finish.

Been a couple days since I played, but my Bosmer named Khalor was spending the night in Ivarstead, on his way to Falkreath to pay for past crimes committed.

It´s too early for Bruma!!


But while Joan is there, why don´t she go to Lothie´s house to water some flowers and air it out. Reckon it could use that. But she better stay away from the treasure chests!

Yeah, because they are MINE!!!!!!

One of them magic Oblivion moments again. Lothran is currently in Leyawiin and was on his way out the doors to wander around Blackwood. But before exiting through the gates he suddenly decided to turn around and instead enjoy a nice afternoon and evening in town. It was a good call that made his follower quite happy as the town´s atmosphere was at its peak.
It wasn´t until nighttime he finally went through the gates and made it into the woods. He´s just now on the small island with the house remains and on his way there he got three Azkhlan trolls.


I´m so happy Oblivion´s magic isn´t tapped out

Ha, I always stop at that burned out house on the island too!

Well the first two must be pretty high


It has happened on a number of occasions now and I still have no idea what causes them to not attack. Pretty interesting though

It happened again!!



On his way from Leyawiin to Bravil, Lothran encountered yet another bandit that didn´t attack him. Instead he was given an opportunity to chat and even make the bandit like him. To be more precise it was the bandit right outside Fathis Aren´s tower; a Khajiit.

Rain and thunder accompanied the Dark Elf who also payed a visit to Border Watch and Water´s Edge. It just turned nighttime when he entered the gates to Bravil and he´s currently enjoying the warm fire in his house

Just checked.

Personality - 70
Fame - 91
Infamy - 11

So nothing that´s really impressive.

Just wait till he hits:

Personality - 143
Fame - 271
Infamy - 0

I used to be a master of Oblivion's disposition mini game. Could max any NPC's disposition in seconds without a single slip. Problem is that my avatar buttered up everyone there was to butter up very early on, so that there was soon no one to practice the wheel on, except those few times I added a new quest mod (or other mod that adds NPCs). That, added to his many prestigious honorifics and him refusing to do anything that hints of "evil" (beyond a certain point) has insured that I've not been able to touch the wheel in years. Earlier this month it dawned on me that I no longer remember the formulas that make its use so simple. What's more, senile as I've become I seriously doubt I'll be able to master them again, certainly not to the extent I once did.

I'll have to look up the numbers for Blossom. She was created because the lower value anywhere in the Race stats was a Female Orc's Personality. So my challenge was to max that out, and the related Speechcraft with it. Since I intended to use that a lot, I did not make it a major, or she'd level too fast.

One of my most fun builds.

If that is the wiki, why is it so different?

Can I make it back to the original look if I get that style?

I know the feeling. As nice as our characters are, they're at their happiest when killing stuff in a dungeon.

Actually, I don't think that's gender specific, mALX.

Much of the time Julian prefers to stay above ground. Mazul, and Alise back in Skyrim, on the other hand, love dungeon delving! And it's a woman (and an old one to boot) running all these characters!

I think Maxical not wanting to fight is a part of her nature - cats tend to avoid fights they can't win . . .

Seriously! I call it a strong instinct of self preservation!
