These are my faves of the latest batch. Love dem sepia tones.

Nice light against the water


Careful. Falador might be evil and powerful, but he falls short to Molag Bal himself.

You know, I read what you said just before going to play - I had no idea what to expect but your statement made me really curious because I've never done this quest before, I've also found the shrine by sheer coincidence.

Now that it's over... yes, Molag Bal is definitely big b-a-s-t-a-r-d! I won't say more because we're not in Spoilers section but let's just say that Falador has now few heavy bruises and scars.

EDIT: I had to edit honoured user otherwise it appeared as honoured user.

I love every one of these! Couldn't pick a favorite from them, all are equally awesome!

I´m glad you like them!

I actually had the Anvil shot as my desktop background for a long time. It has a depth that suits me

"Black rider in Blackwood" - Love that one, nice play with the light!

"To do it or not" - ROFL !!! The rooftops in the Imperial City are great for, "should I or shouldn't I" moments, lol.




What a great desktop that would make, I can picture it! We have a thread somewhere around this site for posting your desktop - not sure where it is, though.

Thank you, it was a coincidence actually - I just pressed PrintScreen at the right time.

From Lothran´s recent visit to the Countess and the barracks

Actually, no. I don´t get it.
Lothran´s personal guard room
Suit up!

Wow, mirocu, those are some great screens of Anvil and Topal Bay. And Lothran looks so handsome in his uniform.

Thank you! The light in Topal Bay got me to shoot that pic and Anvil is just beautiful anytime

I must get some pics from the Colovians this spring. Stunningly pretty area I think.

I really like his guardroom. Little yet cozy.

And most importantly, private

Gotta love that guard armor on him, isn't that Bruma colors? And his own private guardroom - Is it a mod or did you usurp an area...GAAAAH! I have to know more about this!

I love your role play with Lothran, are you going to write a fic on him so we can all learn more about him? I'm dying to know more!




I never have that kind of luck, lol. I can set up a shot and freeze the screen and still have it come out odd, lol.

Beautiful!

That is indeed the Bruma colors. He became an honorary guard after helping the Countess retrieving a lost item while also making sure the last stretch to Bruma is safe by "removing" the goblins at Plundered Mine

That room is the room above where the Bruma Jailor sit, so no mod. Lothran sometimes touches a worthless piece of clutter in there just to hear the menacing roar of the jailor, coming to arrest the horrible thief!


I have thought about it and I´ve talked to Acadian about it, but I´m not sure. It seems like more work than I can commit myself to atm. I could find stories of the past at Bethsoft and post here, like when the Black Horse Courier interviewed Narina about the situation in Bruma. But I don´t know about that, feels like cheating For now it´s enough for me to post short updates, it´s what I do best anyway.
But thank you for your interest and support!


Thank you! The light can be stunning, don´t you think? I remember first time coming down to Anvil, the sun was setting and the sky was clear.... Pure magic!

That doesn't sound like much of a reward! "Thank you, now here's your schedule. We need someone to stand by the front gate from 10 PM - 6 AM."

But he´s only an honorary guard. He can come and go as he please. Most of the time

No, not cheating - that is how Acadian got started! I pushed him (with unrelenting force) into posting Buffy's escapades all in one place on the fiction forum at Bethesda so I wouldn't have to search all over the Oblivion forum there for them - he did, then started writing her story from there! Look for much of that unrelenting force to come your way in the near future !!!!!!

Agree with you totally on Anvil. The first time I saw it, it took my breath away.

We´ll see

In the meantime I´ve got a couple more Lothie pics.

My spriggan friend!
Camping in the Pale Pass ruin
Ok. Did not expect that

Those are great shots, mirocu! Love the spriggan. Camping by a fort in the snow - so peaceful. And chilly!

Oh wow! It's so sparse!

I love Lothran's guard room! That looks like fun with the Ayleid well.

Here's one of Jerric. He didn't think of jumping into it! Link.

Nice tent he has set up in there! Did the Ogres leave him alone? OMG, what happened at that Ayleid fountain? LOL - Awesome screens !!!!

OMG, there are so many pictures I've never seen in your Bucket account! I've spent the last half hour digging around - coming back to look again when I have more time! All Awesome shots, and WOW can you ever work that Facegen! WOOOOT!

And at that altitude, safe


An honorary guard needs his space, don´t you think


Neither did Lothran up until that point. He´s a curious little bugger, though


Thanks And those ogres were long dead by the time he got up there actually.

Chameleon Man holding a torch XD

Indeed, I had trouble making this shot because each time I perfected the position, a wolf or imp attacked from somwhere. And then here we go: dismount-unequip torch-cast Defend-pull the Sufferthon out-attack-mount-equip a torch.

Really nice ones, Lopov-not-87. You´ve really done it with this character btw. He actually makes me uncomfortable

Your invisible man has me thinking of this skit from Amazon Women On The Moon. Except of course, that your character really is invisible!

Thank you, my friend!

They seemed to respawn really fast in my game, every time I thought I’d got them all there were 3-4 more coming my way. Did you ever do that secret quest up in there and get the awesome ring? I love that quest!



Love this close-up of Shadowmere, looks like she rode right into the camera, lol. Must be about 90% chameleon on your character!

They do come back but Lothran cleared them out before he got up in that ruin


Whatta you tink?

But the ring is useless. To me at least.

It's actually only 35%, added by Ring of Khajiiti.

That's not the sketch I think of from that movie.

I love it. It may be only three points each, but hits a bit of everything with it; Fortify Agility, Endurance, Speed, Strength, and Willpower.

It may be great early on but I got it at level 50 so...
--------------

On-topic, here´s one from the musem in Crucible

Lothran has much darker hair on this pic. Museum looks nice BTW.

One shot for today...
Falador in his hideout

His hair was blue in the beginning and in the darkness of the musem, it gets dark.

Here is a better one, showing his hair in its (former) natural shade

And what are these cool-looking gauntlets?

Orc

I never realized how pretty that place was! I wonder if you can sleep in the beds there after the Curator is dead? BWAAAAHAAAA!





Ooh, did you mod this? What is that little statue on the ledge?

It´s a dadric statue anyway. My guess is... Molag Bal?

How fun to see Falador in his hideout. I love to see how other peoples’ characters live.

Falador is so creepy! I don't mean that in a bad way ... actually I mean that in a congratulatory way. Like: good job Lopov, he really is the shadowy, creepy dude I've read so much about.

Yes, I'm far from a good modder but I have a basic knowledge like removing rubble and adding items of my own. His hideout is in a small room in Fort Caractacus but I removed dirty rubble and broken pots. Then I 'imagined' that Falador carried all the items from some known location to the fort, of course it is impossible to carry items like statues and chests but he traveled from that location to his fort... for example he took the statue of Molag Bal (correct, mirocu) from Moss Rock cavern, wooden platform from exterior of Fort Caractacus and the bedroll from Aleswell Inn from his room which he got as a reward after saving people from invisibility. He also hauled few chests from some other locations.




Thanks. His former hideout was outside Fort Caractacus, where Ancotar originally lived. It looked like that and it is not modded in any way, unfortunately I don't have any unaltered shot. But with the winter coming he decided to move inside and so he sort of demolished his former hideout.



Thanks. He also made the entrance to the fort as gruesome as possible to keep the adventurers & travelers away but it's a little bloody picture.

Those are orcish gauntlets I believe.

Yes indeed

mirocu - Always wonderful to see pictures of Lothran. We especially liked the ones in his cabin, including wood sister Spriggan!

Lopov - Sometimes a black hooded figure whizzes by, other times only a slight disturbance in the shadowy air. Falador is hard to pin down!


Valley of the Horses

Oh my, look at all of those blue roans! Just like Ancondil's Glacier!
