Thanks all.


Golden girls are beautiful, Buffy has to really look all the way up to see them. Jungles of Dementia is a superb shot as well, it seems like Buffy is all alone in the woods. Does she plan to visit the Isles soon?

@mALX - a really nice touch that Maxical brought presents for Persephone, I really like the globe. Too bad that her friend wasn't at home but it's good that Maxical felt like at home nonetheless.

I love the Golden Girls shot!


And the Dementia one is so adventureous looking! You sure Buffy doesn´t long back from Skyrim...?

I wanted to thank everyone for their kind comments, thank you!

Maxical did not follow Persephone to Hackdirt, instead she worked on trying to fix the ramps to the upper floors. How did you do that? GAAAAAAH! I couldn't, and finally gave up and just threw in a stairwell to the left as you enter since I didn't see any furniture there in your screens.

Had another issue trying to get the ladder in for the lookout guardpost - GAAAAAAH! Finally gave up and used the cracks in the upper floor to make a parapet around the upper ring for a guard post.

So I really didn't get any play in, just fixing up Persephone's Tower, lol. Here is the screens of the finished work, I just could not get it looking like yours and it work for walking for me/Maxical.


Here is the screens of the Parapet, the upper floor, the better tapestries, and a close up of the Ayleid Mortar and Pestle and Ingredient plate for Persephone; plus a shot of those Ayleid books/writings for Persephone.

I was too worn out to go to Hackdirt after that, lol.

That looks awesome, mALX!


Will it be available for downloadsings?

That’s really neat, mALX! What a gorgeous feast. Party at Persephone’s Tower!

Thanks all, for the kind words on those two older screens of Buffy in the SI!

MALX, more great stuff from Persephone's PalaceTower. With Maxical practicing her general contractor skills I'm not sure if that could be a good or bad thing! Anyway, it all looks wonderful. I noticed the globe SubRosa mentioned and it is indeed very neat. I also like how you swapped out the Ayleid tapestries for more subtle ones. In fact all the Ayleid touches are just neat as can be!

Wow, I never would have thought to put a whole ring outside the tower wall. That is the Leyawiin dock/platform meshes isn't it? I used a few of the ones without the roof the other day to make some sitting areas outside the tower.

I made the ramps with some wooden plank statics, that I scaled up in size to be really big. There are a few dungeons where they do that, which gave me the idea. The ramp up to the observation post inside the tower is just a ladder laid on an angle next to the wall, with some more wooden boards sticking out at the top to make a landing. I have done some more work of my own as well, now the two towers barely look alike!

The books and the colored map are really neat. And a really cool cross-like symbol on the mortar and pestle and the plate. That is a sumptuous feast laid out. I hope Maxical is hungry!

Persephone doesn't like the look of this guy, but she'll work for him in order to keep a closer eye on him

Return to Hackdirt

Night ruin

I put in a statue of Alessia on the tower's east face, and put in a deck with an observation lounge

I added a dragon statue to the Hammerfell side of the tower, and added a small table and chairs as well

I turned the third floor into a dojo

Persephone in bound armor (I replaced the vanilla armor with Ice Morrigan Equipment)

Something tells me that if Persephone finds all the Ancestors, they will not end up in this Altmer’s collection. . . .

I see she put those Hackdirters to the sword. Did she rescue Blossom and Dar-Ma?

Nice looking Ayleid ruin under one of the moons.

I see the Persephone Palace continues to grow!

The dark armor looks good – and intimidating.

@ Mirocu - - no. It is just so Maxical can RP with SubRosa's character Persephone. It is a lot of fun to go where she goes and snap a screen so it looks like they are going to the same places. Thank you so much, Mirocu!


@ Grits - I gained 10 pounds just looking at that table, lol.


@ Acadian - I like these tapestries much better too. And if you had seen the mess I made trying to rig up those planks like SubRosa did, you would most def be worried about Maxical's construction skills, lol. I was falling off stuff before I even got her in the game, lol.


@ SubRosa - Yes, that is LeyawiinDeck01! It was perfect for making the circle, thought I would have preferred it to just be a scaffold and not covered. I had to use the LeyawiinDeck04 underneath or we would have been looking up the skirts of anyone standing on the parapet,

OMG, why didn't I think of scaling the planks? Oh crap, no wonder I couldn't get it to work! Yours did not look overly largened in the screens, so the thought never occurred to me.

It may be a Celtic cross, I think you are right - but it fit the Ayleid theme so well, that is why I used it for Persephone's gifts.

And yes, Maxical did not know how long she might be up there, or how many other guests Persephone might have, so she loaded up on the food,

@ SubRosa:




WOO Hoo, the Collector Questline! One of my absolute favorite quests in Oblivion!


Urk, those creepy people again! I have to give Bethesda kudos for whoever made that town; that place gives off just as freaky as anyone would wish for that quest! My skin crawls just looking at screens of it, lol.


Ah, now Persephone will be in her own element. I wonder if she is seeking out these Ayleid statues for her own purpose and history; and maybe just using Umbacano to settle an ancient score and get paid for collecting what was actually stolen from her people, possibly by Umbacano's own relatives, lol. For some reason I think there is more to it than just being a pawn in Umbacano's game, lol.



Oh, that statue of Alessia is Awesome there! And your choice of tables and chairs is so much better than mine! LeyawiinDeck04 - that piece is probably the most versatile static in Oblivion, lol. Great deck idea!


Wow, I don't remember seeing that dragon statue before, but it is absolutely perfect for Persephone to use in her tower! Awesome choice!



Oh what a great idea for using that upper ring! That is fantastic! Perfect!



OMG, that is bound armor? AWESOME !!!! That is gorgeous! And that sword is wicked looking!


MOLLY!!!! WOOOOOOOOT !!!!


This update is Awesome!!!



*

Acadian: Or if they do end up in that Altmer's collection, they will not remain there for long after his death...

Dar-Ma and her trusty Blossom are indeed safe and sound. She is the nicest person Persephone has met in Cryodiil. Dar-Ma that is.

Molly + Persephone = Chopping Mall!



mALX: One nice thing about the Collector questline is that if you select it, it will not put a green arrow constantly in your hud. That is a nice way to get rid of the quest arrow, even when you are not actually doing the quest.

I think you got a little confused about Persephone. She is not an Ayleid. She is an Imperial. She was a slave of the Ayleids, which is why she was born in Lipsand Tarn. Her people are Alessia and the other Imperials. That is one reason she lives in an old Imperial tower.

The dragon statue is from the middle of the Talos Plaza District. They also use it for the stone dragon that Martin's body turns into at the end of the main quest.

Gaaah, and I filled her tower with Ayleid stuff thinking she'd like it! Oh no! That is like reminding her of the slavers that held her! Urk...Maxical seems to have put her foot in it. I'm so sorry.



Those statues never stay long in Umbacano Manor after his untimely demise in my game either. In fact, just for fun I considered stealing them as I am leaving the room each time or something - not waiting till he is gone (just to see what happens, lol).

I mean, I'll save first just in case. Maybe I can swipe his silver right under his nose too, lol. If I do it, I'll get a screenshot of him sitting there while she is taking a statue,

Is the mouse a friend of Persephone's?


Oh, Persephone's face looks spectacular in this shot!


What a great pose that is, and Awesome sword!



Urk, I guess I didn't want to keep my dinner anyway ...



Is this Darryl friend or foe? He has kind of an evil grin, lol.



AWESOME Face !!!!


Really nice update, and I'm sorry again for the mistake. My deepest apologies to Persephone




*

Well whatever Persephone is, she´s hot as *****

Aww, that's nice to hear about Dar-Ma and Blossom. Chopping Mall!

What a great shot of swimming with the rat. Oh, and I understand Endre doesn’t use his lair anyway. I like Darryl, whether he looks all bony or like a druglord. The thing I miss most about SkyDarryl though is those beautiful blue eyes of his!

Good work with the tower, views from it are amazing. Now the only "thing" missing is Persephone herself. Though with the 3rd floor turned to dojo, this means more work for you.

@SubRosa - nice screenies, her face is really well noticeable in the second set of screenshots.

Hackdirt massacre! I see that you use vanilla male bodies.

Night Ruin is a beautiful shot, suitable for a computer background. As is the dragon statue, it looks really formidable.

Nice set of Bound Armor with the Imperial City in the background.

I have been thinking that Persephone's latest and (cross my fingers) final face looks a lot like Traylor Howard. She played Natalie on Monk.



mALX: That rat was sitting there in the middle of the pool swimming, but going nowhere. His legs were moving though, so he was definitely swimming. Sort of like a hamster on a wheel, without the wheel... That just demanded a picture.


mirocu: Ahhh, but she is as cold as the grave...


Acadian: I miss Draugr Darryl as well. I searched for mods that add Draugr to Oblivion, but sadly found none.


Lopov: I think the vanilla male bodies look well enough for me. To be honest, I think the vanilla female ones look fine too. But most mods these days are made for one of the body types. That is why I eventually went with Bab.

I put the Alessia statue looking east, down upon Cyrodiil - the land she fought to free. While the Dragon statue faces west, out to the rest of Tamriel, so that it stands guard against outsiders.


Don't Drink And Dungeon

Persnowphene

Jerall Sunset

Powering Up

Gazing Upon Skyrim

Moonlit Mountaintop

@ Lopov - Thank you so much for your kind words!


@ Subrosa - Oh no, Persephone looks much better than Traylor!

I think Buffy has had her picture taken with that goblin before too! Must be the latest trend, Maxical will have to find the spot and pose with it too!

These are so stunning! The Jeralls are hauntingly beautiful. In game I could spend months wandering them; and did spend a lot of time looking toward Skyrim long before there was a reason to, lol.

Persnowphene! She blends in so well with the backdrop colors here!

Moonlit Mountaintops looks like that spot just around the corner from Dive Rock, where is she going?

Powering Up is awesome, but my two favorites are Jerall Sunset and Gazing Upon Skyrim; and I can't choose between them for a favorite.

What an Awesome update!



*

I really liked Gazing Upon Skyrim - I keep looking for Falkreath down below!

Poor goblin. Drank too much and got stuck on the potty. MALX is right, I do have a shot of Buffy visiting him somewhere.

Pffft, what’s a little snow to a dead girl?

Persephone showing off her sword at sunset is beautiful.

Nice glow from that spell. Those kind of shots where the light is provided mostly by a spell effect are neat.

Do it Persephone! Go back through Pale Pass!

And a very pretty picture of her under one of the moons.

Monk is such a weird show, SubRosa, I never figured out how somebody with all those phobias & neuroses would choose a job with such gruesome sights and situations. Funny guy, him.

My ... that's a mighty big sword she's got there. Glad you've finally settled on her face, Pers looks gawgeous.

Though Persnowphene looks awesome up in the Jeralls, it just feels wrong to see that place in June!

@SubRosa - nice screenies, the one on the bridge is my favorite. Is that Lothran in the back of Persnowphene?

Maxical's trip to "The Drunken Goblin" party zone and a visit to Sercen:



http://imgur.com/a/saBen

I loved the pic of the wolf and butterfly!

I don't think that drunken goblin is going to be much help! It looks like he had a little too much to drink, a looong time ago.

What fun to see Maxical visiting a couple dungeons! I see she found the drunken goblin stuck in the potty barrel. And met a wolf friend - how nice she didn't have to kill that wolf.

Nice to see a friendly wolf, but it's friendly bandits that surprise me! Looks like they liked Maxical enough to leave her alone or are smart enough not to mess with someone in glass armor.

I think it´s awesome to see Maxical in action, especially considering it looked like she was gone!


I think Glass armour suits her fine

Thank you all! It was very cool that the wolf didn't attack - still can't understand why the bandits in Sercen didn't though!

It might be that Maxical has a really high personality and fame? I recall Renee saying that bandits were often friendly to one of her Renee Gade characters because of that.

This was supposed to be a start over game, but I am not sure if it worked. I think I broke back into the dungeon using toggle clipping and that is when I got all those weird shots of Captain Renault alive and Assassins not attacking, and the dead Emperor standing up by the door to the Prison above Valen Dreth's cell; etc.

So since I was trying to glitch the beginning of the game, it is very possible Maxical still had her high personality (since she still had her glass armor) - but weirdly enough, the world outside the dungeon had reset so no previously discovered places were showing on her map - she had to rediscover Vilverin even!

But the former game I had sunk every bit of points when she leveled up into personality; and used personality boosters too - so it is possible she still has those.

I'll check next time I get in game, and check her fame too - that should be at zero if the game reset everything too, but even if it didn't I think her fame was kind of low before I tried to reset the tutorial dungeon.

But I do remember from some earlier games I played on the 360 that after completing the main questline where you become the Champion of Cyrodiil - bandits stop attacking you. The highwaymen will still confront you as usual, but some bandits/marauders and some beasts become friendly after completing the main questline.

(I just didn't complete the main questline ... that I know of ... Oh crap, I might have triggered it by that glitch where you climb into the Temple of the One using paint brushes ... I can't remember if I finished it out just to get screenshots and the Dragon Armor. Urk.

I'll check next time I get the game up, lol. Thanks, SubRosa, I didn't think to check that.

New Toon!

Meet Sarah Phimm (get it?) Fire Witch Extraordinaire...

Your new Seraphim has a heavenly glow!

Ahah! Must have been a rainy night in Maryland. I look forward to Sarah earning her wings.

Halo to the new seraphim! Renee, she is a work of art!

Hi, Sarah!

I got really lucky with her too. All I did was changed Bendu Olo to "female", then switched from Imperial to Breton, and the very first face that showed up was her. I made her younger (she's supposed to be 20), made her lips less "perky", changed her hair to one of the Coolsims dos, and changed its color from light brown to mahogany. No randomizing. None of that. The entire process took less than 5 mins.

She looks really good and reminds me of a woman I used to work with. Her modded hairstyle is fitting as well.

This looks like an "arrest" photo - and she is adorable !!!

That gave me a mental image of her standing in front of a height grid for a couple of hours, while a talented legionary paints her portrait for the records.

And the two arresting "officers" had to pose with her, of course, lol.

It must have been Raining In Baltimore

Whoa, that's an actual song? I didn't know CC did a song with that name. Interesting.


Mmm hmm, it's nice when everything falls in place, everything looks the way you want it to, right?


ha ha yes it does, right? The lighting especially, and the sort of meek look she's got going on there.

More pix to come, whenever I feel inspired to post 'em.

That and the guard standing on either side of her, lol. But yes, the meek look is exactly why she looks so adorable!

Today I shall focus on the two I am most active with lately: Snaat Rayag and Sarah Phimm. Snaaty has been dating Undena Orethi, the "tomato lady" of Skingrad. He has just gotten home from his trip to buy more skooma in Bravil, and in the first pic, we see him in post-war Kvatch, where he made his first sales in a while. Then he stops in Skingrad, to see his girlfriend.

Snaat Rayag struts Kvatch

Hi Honey, I'm Home!

Home Honey, you're High?

The Tomato Lady finds a new tomato (NC-17)

In these next ones, he is in Anvil, after dealing with the harlots of Gweden Farm. He will be doing ghastley's Gweden Brothel questlines. These pics don't show any of that, I just like these two though.

A walk to the flophouse. (notice his new pimp shirt lol)

Sarah Phimm Spread Sheet

Actually, I will do the rest of Sarah's pics tomorrow.

Not sure I'm picking up on the chemistry of Snaaty and Undena's relationship. But, y'know, Dunmers, what do we outlanders know? I'm sure there's some deep smouldering passion there, really. Wonder how Dunmer romcoms would play out...

Snaaty looks GREAT in the highwayman's shirt combined with light armor, this shirt is one of my favorite pieces of apparel in Oblivion.

Undena seems really happy to see him, judging by her smile.

Love the "tomato smoking" pic.

Nice to see him without his helmet for a change, I picutred him to have longer hair but his hairstyle is in fact more suitable for a pimp.

So Sarah is a witch, it seems. And did I already tell you that she's cute?

She's obsessive, he thinks she's cute. She's a Dunmer, so is he. She has a place to crash, he needs a place to crash. That's about the gist of it. If there's any hanky-panky going on, I don't wanna see it. I can get my romance fix when I play Sims.



Oh that aint tomatoes! .. That moment actually freaked me out, because I've got a couple skooma mods in his game (Skooma Deals and Skooma Pipe) but I didn't know NPCs can do that as well.

Snaaty needs to considerd his own actions in the future.

Sarah Phimm's Starting Attributes

Sarah in Jail

A walk to the markets (she was too embarrassed to enter these markets during daytime, wearing prison clothes. She waited until it was getting dark before she went inside).

New duds in Palonirya's shop

Sightseeing

Journey to Skingrad

Combat! (kinda lame, I know. Geez wouldn't it be nice to have tfc1 in this game? )

My new home (she can only afford Two Sisters' Lodge).

Where I sit by the fire. It's flames, so lovely. I could sit by fire for hours. And I do.

That is a neat jail pic. I like how her face seems to almost glow in the darkness.

She is a golden goddess in her new outfit. I see two sights in the sightseeing pic!

I do miss the TFC 1 command to freeze time as well. It makes Oblivion combat screens a lot tougher to make.

Great shots, Renee and I'm so glad you and Sarah are hitting it off well.

Wow! Simply a beautiful girl, pose, lighting - all of it!
