Thanks Acadian. Hope things are going well for you and yours.

mALX: Interesting about tfc1. I have tried that in the past (thinking Beth might have slipped this in as a hidden command) but it never worked for me. Which is fine. I got that mod now. That deer is part of a mod called Deer Companion (something like this). It's basically a summoned creature, but I like to think that it's always sort of nearby, running within earshot of my elf.

In the second set of shots, when the Legion Forester is following her in sneak mode, that's a Companion Share & Recruit glitch. Either a glitch, or that guy really loves watching my elf's posterior.

SubRosa & Lopov: one of these days I'll get a Lopov of my pesky elf! Let's see if we can catch one today.


Pink Grove

Sharing a Smile

Perennials Galore

Stalking Stork

Lizardman (I added a bunch of these into my game, via Leveled Lists, alongside slaughterfish and mudcrabs. This is my first instance seeing a lizard actually in water).

Puma Pounce!

Aerin's Ounce

Renee, those are wonderful shots. Love the coloring in the first shot and the twin smiles in the second. Your game looks great!

Wonderfully colorful trees in the pink grove.

D'awww, cute smiles.

More great landscapes with the perennials.

Neat Stork! Is it dropping off a baby?

Aren't the Argonian's already lizard-men?

The Puma Pounce looks like it should be a meme of something. Like with an arrow saying "EA" over the puma, one saying "gamers" over the poor guy about to be slammed, etc...

Aerin has a cool ounce.

Pink Grove is just...WOW!

Sharing a smile is always good.

Saga is a flowerboom, I mean flower-girl.

Is there Baby Saga on the way?

Nice to see your own creation at work. Did he come out of the lake and attacked?

Awesome shot of the leaping puma.

Saga maybe likes flowers, but she likes her arrows more.

Acadian: Aww thanks! Springtime in Cyrodiil is a Betty mod. Right now in Saga's game, it just became Mid-Year (summer) so I toggled that mod off.

SubRosa: Technically yes, those lizardmen are Argonians, but I made them so they don't get into conversations, in fact they don't speak at all during combat, except to say "HIYAAAH! and ARRGH!" and other non-English grunts and groans. They are part of leveled lists, so they appear as random enemies alongside of goblins and mudcrabs.

Lopov: I hope there isn't a baby Saga on the way. Being that my elf is supposed to be asexual!

Today's screenfest deals with a recent excursion into Fort Istrius. :ninja;


"We're all talking about the Emperor's murder. We have no Emperor, and no heir!"

Creep....creep... Shuffle

"I just don't think about --" "Heh... I'd better cut down on the ale..."

"Must have been the wind"

"Jump on my sword while you can!!!"

KKSSHH!!!! -- (Notice all Saga's rats getting zapped, instead of Saga herself!)

Grrrowll!!

You mooove like a pregnant Ahhh!!

You elves are all the same!!!

Trapped and cornered!

ARRGH!!!

Another day, another fallen necromancer

The necromancers talking about the emperor is hilarious!

Sneaky darkness pic!

That's some wind!

It's an army of rats!

I guess they were ratsulation...

Hungry like the wolf!

Saga is taking out the necrotrash.

Always good to see Saga doing her part to help stamp out necrodudes in Cyrodiil!

Not having the Emperor is definitely one of the biggest problems for necromancers.

Awesome shot of Saga in the dark.

Must have been more than mere wind.

Rats attack! Better to be killed by an arrow than bitten to death by rats.

Saga looks good wearing mithril armor alongside elven boots.

Acadian, Lopov, SubRosa: exactly, the Emperor's murder is having SUCH an impact on the lives of the necrodudes & necrobabes!

---------------------------------

ROAR!!!

KWRRRAAATCH!

OOOOOOF!!! ARRGH!!!

squeaksqueaksqueaksqueak!!!

OOOOG!!!!

"Riddance has been tasked."

Clip Clop shuffle

Haha, that sounded like an old Batman TV episode. Great shot at the end there.

Whoa, it's Green Genghis Khan!

Shoot Saga, Shoot!

Biff! Bap! Boof!

Barefoot in the park.

Really liked this one. Skingrad is such a nice town

Who/what is that moustached freak?

Great action shots, OOOOG is great, as the creature drops the axe.

Lopov that is a Hill Giant! Added by MMM. Roaaar!!!

Acadian: Yes exactly, the original Batman was so comic-bookish!! *OOOF!!!!* *BAM!!!* *KA-POW!!!*

SubRosa: "shoot Saga shoot!" is right. There are times when the enemy breaks through her rat-wall, she's literally about to get slammed, but she manages to make that final shot just as the enemy's right in her face.

mirocu: Skingrad is awesome, you are right.

I switched to Renee Gade III awhile back, and here are some recent screenies.


Too Many Shinies!

Ragdoll!

Meditation Interrupted by an Orc

For the last time, NO! (Xenagade's in-game companion Gabrielle has a habit of just "showing up" whenever the rest of the party goes adventuring, just like on the Xena show. This is more of a glitch than an actual feature, but I like it).

Necromancer Neutralize

A Girl and her Sword

Lady Saga Action Video

More great shots, Renee!

Meditation is very atmospheric - love the angle and mood.

Aww, don't turn away poor Gabby!

Only good necrodude is a dead one.

That's a cool glowing black hole thingie in the air above all the shinies.

Orcus Interruptus.

Looks like that Necrodude is making XenaGade hot under the collar.

Cool shadowy picture of the girl and her sword.

Dreaming of hot vampire hunters.

Is that glowing thing the Sigil Stone?

Renee has a new haircut - I like it.

It's the Orc with green hands!

Necromancer Neutralize is a great action shot.

So is the Girl & Sword screenie.

Saga detects life, yet only to bring death.

Nice one! Lothran keeps his only sigil stone in a drawer. He thinks it makes too much noise

I finally got Morroblivion working (for the most part)

January has stepped into the Census and Excise Office in Seyda Neen

Seyda Neen is looking good

The Bitter Coast

Sunset

January

Wow, look at that!

Oblivion has come to Morrowind.

Seyda Neen looks great with new textures.

Chitin armor suits January great!

Looking forward to seeing other regions of Vvardenfell improved.

Why hello January. Hope ye fare well in the land of mist and cliff racers.

Wow, Morrowblivion is pretty much just what it sounds like! Never touched MW, but have seen enough vids/screens of TES III to see how much nicer this looks.

Back to Oblivion. As fun as Morroblivion was, I really do not miss all the ctds that come with it. Since I deactivated it, I have not had a single crash.


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

Nice pixies! Haven't seen those particular tunnels in quite awhile.



*drops bait and wait*


...

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.


Okay, I'll take mirocu's bait. Surely you have some old screens from Lothie's origins? Heh, I know better than to suggest mirocu start a new game up.

Sure do!


.....

Aw, sorry to hear about CTDs. Jan really looks lovely, as always. Interesting set of armor she found.

The sewers always remind me of my long-ago black witch character Luci Pheria, who surprised me by basically living in the sewers for 3 days instead of just finishing the tutorial like all my others. During that time she surprised me by eating rat's meat, wisp stalks, and just doing weird things which grossed me out.



Hmm? What do ya mean by this, Crow? *cough*

Mirocu: You should try rolling a new toon to beat the game with. You would see those tunnels more often.


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.


Renee: If only Jayne was around, more goblins might survive in January's game...

Jan is not living in the sewers though. She just cleaned them out to practice her super powers. She lives in a nice little apartment in the Market District (a mod I found a long time ago).


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

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'm good


Nice pixies again, btw. I do like January's outfit

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.

Mirocu: The Eisen Platte is a classic, it never goes out of style.


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.

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

January will always be a Queen!



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

Shouldn't she be walking on yellow bricks?



I see what you did there



Nice batch!

Lovely night shots. And the glow from the Imperial City windows.

Where'd she get that armor? I mean, which mod?

Looks like she's met Nerussa!

The rainbow mod = Nice! I'm pretty sure I have that, but never seen any rainbows. We do see plenty of meteors though.

January goes to hell!

Hey, check out Console Commands. It adds a half-dozen new commands. I only use tfc2, which freezes the game so you can take action shots too.

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!

mirocu: If I had yellow bricks, I would have used them in that shot.


Renee: January is wearing the Eisen Platte Armor. Persephone wore the white version of it in Oblivion as well.

The rainbow is from a mod as well. I think it's called Rainbows in Cyrodiil?

Thanks for that console command mod. The TFC2 is great to finally have. So is the help command, at least once I figured out how it works.


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 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!"

Ha! She looks good in that official armor too. But the Eisen set really suits January.

Nice action shots! I love tfc2 it really opened up a whole new world for screenies. I'd bake so many cookies for whoever made Console Commands it's not even funny.

Good job pwning the Daedra of Kvatch. And pincushion syndrome sucks. Arrgh.

Savlian buried his feet below the ground upon seeing January, clad in Kvatch cuirass.

Charge is a great shot, the expression on Jan's face is just perfect.

Imagine being on Jan's wrong side and seeing her coming against you, looking like in Valhalla screenie --> !

The Count couldn't handle a scamp.

Arrows seem to be tickling her.

"Danger ahead? I see none, Fel."

Airborne!

BZZT!

Yoo moooove like a pregnant ... BANG

Ghostly pwning

"Jump on my sword while you Argh!!!"

Dual Contemplation

And now, a Renee Easter Egg...

Wanda Bone lives on -- I had a character during my Playstation days named Wanda Bone whose saves got wiped out. Wanda was a rogue thief who lived exclusively in the Imperial City. I never fleshed out what happened to her, so it looks like she lives on as an NPC in RG3's game. I did not create this NPC yet she looks similar to my original gal from the 3rd era, plus 20 odd years.

Original Wanda

Great leaping XenaGade pic!

Now that I am playing Oblivion again, I am hearing all those great taunts, that usually end prematurely when the taunter dies in mid-sentence!

It's not very friendly to jump on people while they're talking, Renee Gade.

Wow, it's Wanda Bone! A clever idea to use this NPC as an older version of Wanda.

Haha, those look like they could almost be stills from Xena, Warrior Princess footage. Only thing missing is a chakram.

Awesome pics, Renee! I especially like that flaming sword and the recreation of Wanda as an NPC - so nifty!

The stars are right

Dar-Ma!

Pirates!

Pieta

January puts the Storm in Stormcrow

Judo Chop!

Up close and personal

Sunset

Who's that fine-dressed lady in the Ayleid ruins? Is this some quest?

How do you stop combat and turn the camera around, like in the pic with the skeleton?

Acadian: the Xena mod does include a chakram. I took a picture of it recently in mid-flight.

I did not make Wanda, some other modder did. Probably somebody on the old Better Cities team.

Lopov: There's a new "mod" called Console Commands, and it has a command called tfc2 which does exactly the same as tfc 1 in Skyrim and Fallout.



Oh nice, she went to the Orrery.

Jan really looks good. Be afraid... be very afraid, NPC enemies. *Zap!*

OH, do you know about this mod, SubRosa? Maybe Jan'll be interested.

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?

*

Hey, Renee, that is fabulous news about a tfc2 ability for Oblivion. Tfc1 is such a wonderful tool in Skyrim. Whew, so glad Xena has her chakram.

Isn't this somewhere in the vanilla game? Or is it added by something?


Really liked the first pic with the stars
