Wooo, I did a clean reinstall, fiddled with some settings, overclocked my CPU a bit and now I can actually play Skyrim without using a no-Steam crack. Which means - screenshots! I'm joining the fun and I hope you don't mind the lack of razor sharp graphics.

So this is Skyndi Red-Shield, back in Riverwood after almost freezing to death on the way down from Bleak Falls Barrow:

And this is S'Kirra, in her brand new armor that ended up costing her much more trouble than it was supposed to:

I loved the light in this cave. I've never been there before somehow and when I entered that huge cavern I felt just like seeing that first Wall for the first time again.

And last but not least, a picture called "I forgot how to wood" - the chopped blocks of wood somehow got stuck to his hands and he was swinging that axe with them still attached.

Got a really neat shot of my main character fighting everyone's favorite dragon-tyrant.

Dohvakiin, I like the one with the aurora over the purple night forest.

Understone Keep
Ghorza's Forge & The Hag's Cure
Magma Dragon
That's my man! (Cosnach vs Magma Dragon)
Braving the flames
(while I was shooting spells and taking snapshots from the back seat)
Maddy lends a hand
(sensible woman that she is, she'll set her compunctions about destruction magic aside when facing a dragon... or bandits... or, to be honest, pretty much anything )
Unexpected allies
(even the Valtheim bandits stood with us against the worm, which didn't keep us from doing away with the two or three that survived the dragon fight)

ETA: Welcome to the thread, dzio! Nice pictures! Yeah, that cave (which I can't for the life of me remember the name of ATM) has some pretty spectacular lighting. As for the last shot, I suppose the resin oozing from the logs was responsible for the stickiness.

Unionhack - WOW!

I can't remember the name either, but I know someone with extra time will post a link. Isn't the cave the a hunter needs you to clear out to get his friends bodies.

I can't tell for certain, but it looks like the Shadowgreen Cavern. Or whatever it's called. It's the cave full of Spriggans near Solitude. Down the cliffs and closer to the coast.

Shots:
From testing a new wedding dress replacer:
Vulom in a dress. Well, now isn't this odd.
Vara looks more relaxed than Vulom. I think the dress suits her.
Hm. Not quite sure what to think of it on this Nord.
The dress was made for the E55 body replacer and I'm using UNP, so the size and shape isn't quite right. The E55 mod is bustier than UNP, but they both use the vanilla UV's. All I really care about is the textures, and since the UV's are the same, the textures are undistorted.

Others:
Bleak Falls
Bleak Falls with Thralls
Arvel VS Draugr
Vampire Nord
The Attack
Nord VS Mirmulnir

Nice shots! Dohva, I love that first one of Lieth. And welcome to the thread, dzio.

Jumping on the imgur bandwagon:
Investigating the Gauldur Legend
Mzulft
Arkngthamz ceiling (this felt subtly terrifying)
My own Khazad-dûm moment
Darkening over the lock
Another spinning blade trap?
Shroud Hearth killcams: 1, 2
Edit, forgot one -- Ironbind Overlook

By the way, does anyone know how to make the images smaller without distorting them? The 604 x 377 previews on imgur look pretty good. I tried resizing one after upload, then one before, to no avail.

Oooo that second killcam is a nice one! I resize my photos through the photoshop program.

Thanks for the welcome guys. And Mauin is right, this was taken in Shadowgreen Cavern. I wasn't expecting much resistance, because it was just a tiny fetch quest from Solitude, so the band of spriggans really surprised me.

I really like that Mzulft picture, Zephyr. And Unionhack's epic battle is great too. Vulom in a dress looks like she's saying "I am not amused..." in the chilliest voice possible.

About resizing - for things like that I use IrfanView. It's tiny, free, easy to use, supports almost all file formats you'll ever find and is better at format conversion than Photoshop.

Beware, main quest spoilers (Throat of the World):

Shots from yesterday:
Shearpoint
Nordic Vampire
Fiery Explosion
The Flame
Notched Arrow
Awakened Dragon
Death Overlord VS Deathlord
Smashing
Fire in the Night
End of Legend

Mauin: Fire in the Night is just WOW!

How do I even wood.


Her chest disturbs me. ;~~~~;

And that's with the weight slider set at 20. I don't know why people insist upon making such large-chested body types. I've seen far worse, though. There's a point where it passes disturbing and goes right to comical.

Meh. As long as it doesn't warp my texture, I'm okay. I'd convert it to UNP myself, but I don't know how.


I'll post some shots later. Maybe. My brother's dog is back here and I have to look after it again. I don't know if I'll be able to play later or not.

Some places in Skyrim (especially some of those caves) are an awesome sight to behold , although I prefer the general atmosphere (more fantasylike and diverse) of Oblivion.

Overall I just love those underground groves and mini paradises in skyrim ^_^ they just seem so more alive despite being so deep down below<_<

Shots:
Final Slash
Just testing a new warpaint replacer...

A couple pictures for today

You are officially heartless.


On his knees.

Ravenburg Castle:
Playable organ!
Long hallway lighting
In the Dungeons
Caverns

That looks like an awesome mod, I'll have to check it out some day. Is the story as good as the visuals?

*applauds wildly on behalf of his character*

Funny you should post this right now BTW, because look what Sylvaine and Cosnach did during their latest stay in Windhelm:
Documentary photo of early 4th era political graffiti

Zephyr - great shots! And a mod author who is both crazy and skilled enough to put a playable organ into Skyrim has earned my deepest respect.

ETA:

This one is awesome.

Speaking on behalf of my Forsworn agent conjurer (not to say she's a conjurer of Forsworn agents), I approve of that graffiti. And I've actually seen two mods now with a playable organ (the other is Hill House, which for some reason is no longer on the nexus).

There should be a caption saying "NOPE" in big fat letters under this one.

And my last screen for Skyndi Red-Shield before the save went belly up and I had to restart her (again):

I love their expressions in this one.

Skyndi: "This camp smells like a month old carcass of an arthritic mammoth."
Lydia: "Indeed, my thane. And this dead bandit smells even worse."
Skyndi: (spits on the ground) "Let's go."

Shots:
A New Blade
Skooma gives you wings!
So does Redwater Skooma, but... It's just not the same.
Heh. Found it. Easier than I thought it would be given the comments on the Nexus.
Red, White, and Black
Shortsword of Backstabbing
Vulom's New Jewelry Now if only the gem wasn't as shiny. The white glare obscures the red of the gem itself. A deeper red would be much more suitable for Vulom.
Bandits
Nord in the Barrow This is technically the same character as the male Nord I used to test the FS mod. I just changed the sex and made a few tweaks. I think the character looks better this way.
To the Tower
Dragon in the Sky
The Fire
Death Blow
Jyr Shadow-Blade
To Windhelm

Weapon/Wing/Jewelry/Shield mod: Ultimate Assortment by Favoredsoul
Armor mod: DreamBurrows Regal Huntsman Armor

Great pics!

Another Madena portrait...
...and another portrait of my favourite drunkard warchief, Cosnach
The College and Azura
Talos (another one)

(Trying out SweetFX configs at the moment, switched from ULO to this one and tweaked it a bit - mainly disabled bloom and enabled the vignette effect, which I quite like. I tend to toggle SweetFX off in interiors because RLO already handles these very well and having SweetFX on top of it oversaturates the colours IMO, but all in all it looks pretty damn good in my eyes.)
