Nice! That sword looks good with Pala’s leather.

Jensa (having moved to the laptop) is nearly ready to make things with dragon bones. She needs more materials, I think one more perk, and some time to get back to the forge. Right now she’s looking for Skyhaven Temple. I expect she’ll collect some more bones on the way. She won’t give up her Skyforge steel greatsword or Nordic scrimshaw bow, but Stenvar will get some dragonbone weapons to try. Jensa is mostly interested in dragonbone arrows.

I think she may skip tying the knot with Stenvar this time. I don’t know if it’s a bug that’s been unofficially fixed, but marriage removed all of his follower chatter before. It’s been nice to hear him talk again.

And before I ramble too long in the screenshots thread, here’s one of Jerric (follower) and Lildereth’s little camp in the Reach. Lil is playing cat-and-mouse with the sabre cats. Jerric really has to keep up and stay on his toes. If she misses with that second arrow, she’s lunch. So far he’s doing great.

I like the "his and hers" tree-stumps of appropriate sizes. I assume the camp is your own mod - are the stumps dynamically sized to the using character, or did you set them up statically that way? And how long did that take?

I remember having a lot of effort to get characters of other than unit size to sit properly on furniture in Oblivion. Short characters would sit below the seat, and tall ones above. Aranxa, my female Xivilai NPC, needed a lot of work to get her to sit on a throne properly, as she was 1.5x normal size.

That’s Althir's Camping Tools portable stuff. I think it’s a trick of perspective plus Lil’s seat is lower on the slope. Here’s a view from the front. Her seat is a bit forward and sinking into the ground a little. I was grinning at the his-n-hers effect in the picture, but I can't really take credit for it.

NPC Jerric tends to try out the beds in various places, and I’ve watched him shrink down before he gets in. He’s I think 1.02 scale. It’s very strange to see.

Here’s a scene on the way to Sky Haven Temple. The party ran afoul of a couple of wolves (in the first two minutes of the journey), and events quickly escalated. Here in the aftermath Jensa is viewing the person she is supposed to “escort safely” and slowly realizing that along with the Sanguine Rose Stenvar carries a blade with a chance to paralyze an enemy.

This could be a long trip.

ghastley, that's a nice looking sword!

Grits, love Lil's little camp.

Lil takes her time and finds a nice spot. I'm curious where she’ll go in the Rift.


A small assortment:

Follower Valdi wearing her mail gown in Sir Magul’s game. He won’t do any crafting but he upgraded her cloak to linen on a spinning wheel. He must like her in green.

Follower Darnand demonstrating why even a Breton with a mage’s build can be annoying in corridors.

And here’s Gwilin asking Jerric if he plans to clean that up.

Valdi's equipment really fits her character. A dremora seems to be common company with Jerric and crew. And to think I hadn't even seen one in any of my games until Aravi finally went along with Sam.

Side note, I am so happy that the Immersive Armors got renamed from Viking X to Nord X. That was really bugging me.

Valdi is styling in her steel dress.

Perspehone has the same issues with Darryl in narrow corridors and doorways!

Time for Jerric to take out the trash!

Impaled with a broomstick!

...yet she keeps on playing. Lolz.

That is a true professional!

The show must go on!

Are we sure Master Baytor didn’t do that to her?!


Here are a few from recent adventures.

Three Khajiit and a mage who thinks he can levitate are not afraid of heights.

Playing with the sea ghosts.

I think they want you to open this.

Darnand’s look is coming together. He’s still trying out amulets. (He hasn’t found the one in Windhelm yet. )

I love the caravan across the log. I hope there are not any giant primates lurking on the other side!

I don't recognize where the Sea Ghosts pic is from. Though from that katana stuck in the ground, I imagine it cannot be too many places.

I love those little bouncing lights from Yngol's Tomb! I wish you could keep at least one for a pet.

Just as well Darnand has not found the Necromancer's Amulet I think! He is going to have to start taking off his shirt if we are going to admire his current amulet though. But that might not be what we are admiring... He reminds me of Guy Pearce.

Darnand is hot lol

Where is that location? .. I'm afraid of heights (even in vid games sometimes) so that would give me shivers.

It is right on the border of Eastmarch and The Rift. It is up in the mountains straight west of Lost Knife Hideout, and south of Hillgrund's Tomb. There is a little path that goes west from Lost Knife Hideout that will take you by it.

Yep, that’s the best way to find the tree bridge. It’s an awesome shortcut to discover! Plus the view from the cliffs is amazing.

The sea ghosts and katana picture is also from Yngol Barrow. Immersive Weapons adds some loot, plus it swaps out some of the stuff that’s already lying around. That was an iron katana of some sort. The little lights at their feet were bouncing all around. Very cute! Er, when they’re not leading anyone to their deaths on the icy sea.

Darnand would be astonished at the thought of someone admiring his shirtless self. He is determined to overlook the amulets clipping through those robes. The Amulet of Arkay is the worst!

OK, pictures. Here’s one from a little while ago when Valdi fell in with some rough company. Following Hoth. (That guy is a mod.)

From Lil’s game the gang relaxing in the Dawnstar inn. They just walked in from the road and started to party. Karita was singing, though it looks like she's in a staring contest with Erandur. Lil was not in the mood.

And since I figured out how to use WB Profiles I made an average, forgettable guy with a silly name to see if my laptop could handle some mods starting with Vilja In Skyrim. As these things happen I actually adore him. Long may he run. Here’s Otto with his cousin Erik the Slayer. While I took the picture Vilja was in the background running her mouth the whole time. She is hilarious. (Vilja dialog spoiler.)

Hoth looks creepy. I don't think I'd want him as a follower.

The gang relaxing at the inn. Naturally Jerric has a mug of upended over his face!

It's Otto! He likes get blotto! Does he drive a school bus? Wow, he looks just like Erik too. Did you use Erik's face as a starting preset? I love how easy Skyrim makes that.

From that dialogue, it sounds like Vilja is looking for Jerric and Lil!

Thanks! I just copy/pasted this info and put it in a special place so I won't forget.

I have some creepy Mycharonna pics to share in a few ! Heh heh heh....

That fallen tree-come-bridge on Eastmarch is awesome. Another really cool spot in the game.

Grits, I think it's so cool how u have a massive party everywhere you go. If I had a PC some of my characters would have entire armies. I agree with Subrosa, Jerric certaintly meets the criteria of huge, drunk Nord

I love how Erandur's just standing in the middle of the merriment, sulking. Even Aravi's getting involved!

Some Mycharonna pics...

Moons & Auroras

The first and last ones were quite pretty. The others though... I wouldn't want to run into her!

Awesome! I like hearing this, thank you!

BTW, when you click on those links, does it pull up just an image, or are you seeing the entire Photobucket page? .. It's kind of hit or miss for me. Mostly it'll show the entire page (ads and all) which is pretty annoying, only occasionally will it show just the image.

I'm thinking about finding a site that just links us to images, cuz I'd be embarrassed if I'm linking you all to the full page, so any ideas are welcome.

Sometimes it brings up the photo bucket page, and sometimes it doesn't.

I've been using imgur because you can always just link to the image and not the whole site. Imgur has its own issues though.

Those pics are great Renee! I particularly like moons and auroras.

For me the link brings up the whole website...

Nice shots of your vampiress, Renee. Pretty much what KC said on bringing them up. PB does that sometimes. There does seem to be some consistency. The first time a viewer brings it up, it brings up the whole PB page. If you then bring it up again, it shows just the screenshot. I have images on both PB and imgur, and I have the same problem with PB.

I had the same thought when Vilja said that. WHAT did you just call Lil?!

I used the old Nord guy preset with the white beard and just changed it to make Otto look like Erik. That’s a good preset. I thought I was making them a little different by giving Otto a beard, but Erik has a beard too. Should have looked at a picture first to refresh my memory. I was going for cousins, not twins!

Renee, those pictures of Mycharonna are great! Awaiting Twilight is my favorite. Very ominous, I felt sorry for the residents of Whiterun who don’t know what terror is gazing down at them! I’ve switched to imgur over the issue you mentioned.

I'm going to try something here....

Moons & Auroras

Ahh didn't work. Was trying to see if I could link straight to pics in the actual folder on my computer, but this doesn't seem possible. Another thing I can try is to see if photobucket allows paid subscriptions. This way I can get rid of all the ads, and hopefully there's an option to link straight to images.

Chorrol's got an Insert Image button, but this isn't it, either.

I stopped using Photobucket for the same reason. Like a lot of people, I moved to Imgur. It does have a option to link to the picture only, without any other annoying junk.

Sir Magul gro-Bash, Knight of the Circle finds out that war dogs need cuddles, too.

He’s getting pretty bold, which makes me think he’s headed for a dirt nap. So I took some screenshots. Here’s Sir Magul and his entourage on the road.

I guess the pooch is growing on gro-Bash? nyuck, nyuck...

Goodness, I hope the bold gro-ing one does not take dear Valdi with him into that dirt nap. Though if he does, you could just bring them back as undead adventurers!

There will be NO Sir Magul 3, so this one better be careful!

Valdi’s story is unfolding in an unusual way. She has two games and an NPC life with Sir M, plus there’s her NPC self with the Jerric family all happening at once but in different times. Sir Magul is in the middle, so whatever happens to him I’m sure Valdi will survive to pile some rocks on his grave!

Wow, you can set some of your party on horses?

Yep, Horse Commands. There are other mods that do it too, plus a lot more. Now I use horses!

Here’s a shot of Stenvar impressing the ladies.

I am actually more impressed with Gerdur attacking the dragon with an iron dagger!

That was the lady! I wasn’t sure if anyone would see her there.

She IS a blonde!

From the stop in Winterhold:

Flash considers a shortcut

I love the line of horses on the bridge!

Eilidh
I'll admit she's not too easy on the eyes, but she has a certain ragged charm...

...he's hiding somewhere out there...
Service!
You may well be one of us but you're still Damaged Goods, until you find him.
They let her stay the night and clean up a little, then packed her off to Falkreath...
...it made some difference, but not much...

(Stand by for a story).

Interesting, Phon. But I think I prefer her cyrodilic version...

Heh, just coz she's cuter!

This one's not as immediately accessible but I think she's a grower for sure, though she'll be very story-driven.
Don't worry though, I'll keep 'em short(ish) for easy digestion!!

Aravi stops at that fire every time she comes in from the cold.

It's a good one for sure.

Not that it did the bandit much good, in the end...
I liked this because you can see the sweat on her face.
