I wanted a long flowing hairstyle for my nord, but everything was shorter, I mean, you can't have the skyrim equivalent of a battlemaiden not have long flowing blonde hair....

Hopefully Bethesda developes hair animations that are life like.

Got more Civil War shots today.
I had some odd things happening.
Spoiler:
During the Battle for Fort Amol, I was randomly attacked by the Dawnguard. My Imperial buddies were nice enough to kill them for me.
And, when I went to execute Ulfric Stormcloak (I used Drain Vitality to kill him), my last hit with my Dragonbone Katana just so happened to paralyze him. So instead of going down on his knees, Ulfric was stuck in a really odd position. He never came out of the position he was paralyzed in and now lies dead in an extremely awkward way.

Mauin, the one with your lizard on the dragon is awesome. That one was my favorite.

Hehe, creep. :P Hey, would you be willing to post a few screenshots without any EMBs on, just so I can get a sense of what your game looks like without any mods on? :)

Thanks.


I decided to remake Metta the Bloodthirsty today. Along with that, I also decided that I would use this character to do a Dawnguard playthrough which I intend upon recording tomorrow. This led to me rushing through the Companions questline, the Civil War, and the Main Quest today. The fact that my fingers aren't cramped is slightly amazing (to me).

I also downloaded that Apachii hair mod, and one other mod that adds more warpaints for female characters. Metta uses both a modded hair style and a modded warpaint.

Anyways, here are today's shots. Civil War and Main Quest spoilers.
Spoiler:
Metta the Bloodthirsty (new version).
Stormblade
The Victory
Alduin's Wall
The Arrival of Paarthurnax
When Brothers Wage War
Metta the Bloodthirsty, Stormblade, and Alduin the World-Eater
Farengar, you're an idiot. (While I was doing this quest, a Courier decided to show up moments after Odahviing's arrival. His timing cracked me up. Would've been funnier if he had shown up naked, though.)

Well, my intention today had been to record a Dawnguard playthrough, but...
Gods, I'm an idiot. The whole bloody time I had been recording video without any audio. 60GB of video and not a single moment of it had the voice that I was supposed to be recording. What a waste of a day.

So I've only got one screenshot because of that. It's Metta the Bloodthirsty's wedding to Farkas...
As you can see, she's very popular.

That is all.

Sure, thanks...
But I do have one more shot after messing around with mods for an hour.
Downloaded Cloaks of Skyrim, and one more mod that makes NPC clothing look better. Then I got rid of a few mods (mostly ones that I don't use anymore).

The product of that little mod adventure is this:
Vulom Staadnau may be evil, but that doesn't mean she won't dance if the correct circumstances come along.

Edit:
While I still can't get my audio issue worked out ( :Angry: ), I did actually take some time today to grab some screenshots.
I created an Orc earlier, and then reloaded Vulom Staadnau to test out two Thieves Guild related mods:
Spoiler:
Mazgarz
Smashing Draugr
Stepping into Death
Legendary Dragons for Legendary Battles
Head Shot
Karliah, you can stop staring at me any time now.

I must say that the mod seen in the last screenshot makes the Nightingale Hall much more cozy. I might actually have Vulom use it as home base now.

Yup, that's my girl!

Actually, if you just edit them directly in the containing folder and then save them (for me, it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\92109755\760\remote\72850\screenshots), they'll appear in your screenshots upload menu just like any others.

The fact that most of the races don't have matching skintones for their heads and bodies. You'd think after three 3-dimensional games Bethesda would be able to make them match..
