I see some pink outlines in that shot!

That's how she sees her world. At the extreme left above the welkynd stone looks like a big atronach (not enouth for you to see in the screen). Below Buffy's feet (and mostly behind the pillar) is a dead daedroth. She assesses the glow right of center to be a conjurdude, and the life sign at the extreme right to be a stormie or frostie.

Hey, cool Buffy pic!

What a great shot of Buffy! Excellent camo.

This is what I thought, too: Assassin's Creed.

Yes, inspired by Assassins Creed of course. It's a fabulous Roadstroker mod and comes in mix and match sets in 5 different colors.

Lol, It's the only 'mage's robes' I can get Buffy to wear without complaint.

Cool shot, Acadian!

Sunset in Anvil

Makes me long for Anvil!

Awesome shot of Anvil!

Beautiful, Lopov. I like how you got the banner on the castle, ships and that wonderful lighthouse. Makes you want to cast waterwalk on your horse and ride right out into the sunset! *happy sigh*

Beautiful sunset, Lopov! It that Loypuur?

Yes, that's him.

Some recent random Buffy shots:

What’s the news in Cheydinhal?

A cold and rainy day.

You can come inside after I clear out the necrodudes.

Yay! Some Buffy pictures! I´m glad she decided to put herself in front of the camera again

I saw the first two earlier in the week, but not that third one! Love them all!

While I wait for a couple more Maxical pics, here´s a few oldies of Lothran I wanted to bring up again. The light is magnificent!

Sunset over Imperial City
Sunset over Topal Bay
Anvil harbor

Yes tmar, I will shoot some new ones soon...

Nice, mirocu, especially Anvil harbor.

Some more sunsets:

Sunset in Anvil
Sunset near Kvatch

Aahh... If only someone would rebuild Kvatch and put things back in order. It´s sutch a ginormous shame they didn´t include a rebuild in the vanilla game like they did with Cropsford

Yay, Buffy pictures! Her wardrobe is a continuing source of delight. That cold rain probably didn’t even touch her. My favorite is the last one. What a sweet moment with the adorably lethal bowgirl and her precious mare. (And I must say how perfect her hair looks in that picture!! Magnus loves blondes. )

Lovely shots of Lothran, mirocu. The Anvil harbor is my favorite.

And I love those skies, Lopov. At least the sunsets are still pretty over Kvatch. I like to see how Loypuur's armor choice is evolving.

Fabulous sunset shots, mirocu and Lopov!

Thanks, Grits!

Kvatch Rebuilt does good job in rebuilding the destroyed town even for those that don't want to tackle the MQ since the only condition is to close a portal of Oblivion and save the town and that does not spawn random gates across Cyrodiil as long as one doesn't ask Martin to accompany him in the quest Find the heir. It's true that to fully complete Kvatch Rebuilt, one must finish MQ but I think a major part of it can be done without doing the MQ.

I was using that mod on one of my previous character, got about halfway to completion and I really liked it. I also run it now, with Loypuur, and who knows, perhaps he might help rebuild it.

Regarding the mod, Kvatch Rebuilt, I have been very pleased with it. Here is a copy/paste of an article we did here at Chorrol on Buffy's Potpourri thread (in my fanfic sub forum). I realize there are a lot of older photobucket shots here but, for those interested, it does give a good feel for the finished product as Buffy sees it (some of the names and details are more reflective of her story/world than the actual mod):

Some overviews to give perspective. Note, the farther the camera, the greater the perspective offered at the price of some rich details-

Some closer shots to show more detail of what I think is a beautiful city-
A refreshing light shower.
A stately manor.
High Priestess Oleta’s Chapel of Akatosh.
Sigrid is still Guildmagister.
Weedum-Ja’s tavern.
Captain Lucilius Marcus.
Entering Castle Kvatch.
The throne.
The Royal Dining Hall.
Private quarters of Countess Odalys Goldwine.

Amazing pics, Acadian! I wish I could do the MQ to get all this but I won´t. Not even half-way through or something. Can you enter every building in town and does the arena work?

We used a lot of super secret magic so that Buffy lives in a post Oblivion Crisis world, but she is not the Champion of Cyrodiil. This suited our purpose; enabling the full rebuild of Kvatch is just one small benefit. At this point, we are well adjusted to the post crisis world and no one ever calls Buffy a hero or any sort (mod) so it is easy to roleplay and move beyond the crisis.

There are less than a dozen dead Oblivion Gates marring her world. In her world, Kynareth's spriggans have planted vines that reclaimed the ruins of countless other gates across Tamriel. A few are resistant. It seems those that were sustained by a fire-based sigil stone either burn forever or, when their flame goes out, the scorched ground refuses to accept any plant growth. The stuff about blaming fire sigils for those gates that burn forever is purely my imagination at work trying to answer my curious elf's questions. Lol.

The city of Kvatch is fully populated with shops and guilds. All the buildings work and the population is a mix of repatriated familiar encampment refugees and new NPCs. We have not tried using the Arena, since for Buffy's purposes, Kvatch's new ruler has transformed it to a cultural ampitheater. My understanding from the mod's thread however, is that the Arena does work, albeit with some bugs apparently.

I've added so many post-MQ quests into my mods that I'm also looking towards creating another to bypass the MQ, so I can create new test characters without having to take them through it. I like the "someone else did it" principle, as it make sense that all the MQ events should have happened, even if the Player Character didn't get as directly involved.

The "past game PC" characters are routinely acknowledged but put of range by the game. The Nerevarine has gone off on an expedition, etc. I'm sure the same could be done for the CoC, but my own FF has him become the new Count of Kvatch, so I'll likely make a private mod where that happens, and work on top of some of Kvatch Rebuilt to make it happen.

If anyone else likes that idea, I could try and package it up. I don't want to make it too public, as there would be way too many opinions on what quest-lines to shortcut, and who the CoC actually was. Kvatch Rebuilt gives you the choice of installing yourself, or a son of Goldwine, so the easiest path is probably converting the latter. As my need is for an add-in mod for my test characters, I'm biased towards simple and easy.

I'll open a fresh thread in "Mod Ideas" where we can discuss this.

Looking Out

I can almost hear her tapping on the other side of the glass on my monitor

Oblivion gate
Onward!
Running
Closing the gate
The survivor!

Phon - Yay, a close up of the elusive Niamh!

Lopove - Nice ones. 'Onward!' is truly inspired! What a fabulous action shot - backdropped perfectly by the Deadlands, and with the Kvatch Wolf rightfully taking center stage.

Awesome pics, Lopov! Great actionshots right up there with tmar!

Thank you both!



'Onward!' is now one of my all-time favorite shots. What I like the most about it is that it was created by a coincidence, I just wanted to make a sideshot of Loypuur while running. Only when I was browsing the screenies that I took that day, I noticed there's more to it.



Cool amulet!

Heh, there are some cracking shots from everyone on here.
Thanks, actually I have to say that this is one if my favourite ones of her.

Another character I'm working up a quest for:

Medora Direnni - Original Daggerfall version
Medora Direnni - Oblivion version

Since the Thalmor would like to see her home, Direnni Tower - a.k.a. the Adamantine Tower - destroyed, I'm think she might get in touch to ask for some help.

I actually think I like the Daggerfall version more

I especially loved all the "Sunset on..." screens, and Lopov - those were some AWESOME shots in an Oblivion world! Buffy (I've seen those shots on your Potpourri thread, and LOVED them!).

I played the ultimate bad guy from my story tonight, this is Dagoth-Malan, over 350 years old vampire and high echelon necromancer:

For a classic evil Nosferatu, he´s spot on! He definitely looks like the kind of creature I´d send Van Halen Helsing after. Or possibly Wolverine

Plus, I liked his grand piano!

Thanks Mirocu! I didn't make the mod, but def tweaked it for what I was looking for in him.

mALX, what a good job you did bringing Malan to life! His eyes and nose are especially well done! I hope Maxical pushes him off Dive Rock!

I see you posted Malan shots on a couple other threads, but I'll just comment here.

ROFL !! Thank you Acadian!

A few pics from Lothran´s trip between Chorrol and Imperial City

Outside of Chorrol
Don´t you threaten Lothran!!
You could have helped us over there, you know..

You must have an Awesome rig, these shots are fantastic for clarity! Love that first one.

Awesome enough, I guess. Have every graphic setting I want at max and no lag whatsoever. Finally I can play Oblivion like I always wanted

My PC plays Oblivion at med graphics with a little lag outside of cities. It can't play Fallout 3, New Vegas, or Skyrim.

My laptop plays Oblivion/Fallout 3, New Vegas/and Skyrim - all at full graphics with no lag, but it is inconvenient to use at home. I need a new PC, lol.

mirocu – Those are great! Outside Chorrol is beautiful! Heh, looking at ‘Don’t you threaten Lothran!’, one would assume he summoned a frostie to help fight the griz. But I know better; in fact, Lothie summoned the griz to help fight the frostie! On the tardy guard, console yourself that he didn’t get hurt and has many “For the Empire!!!” mud crab slayings ahead of him.

Wow, that bear is putting the smack down on the astronaut!

You´re right Acadian, this particular Frostie wasn´t Lothran´s





He sure does, thanks to you

Drawing a power
Loypuur & Aelwin in the Imperial City
Shrine of Julianos
Crossing the bridge

These are fantastic, especially the first "Drawing a power" - I am green with envy over your rig! Awesome shots!

Don´t think I know that character, Lopov. But good shots

He's my current character, I've been posting about him here and on Beth for quite some time now. Actually ever since Falador decided to stay in Crucible.



Thanks, Drawing a power is also my favorite and by a coincidence it is Loypuur's 100th screenshot.
