Re: Maigrets Skyrim Album

Ah a recollour of the Trisss Armour, nice.

I like the fourth and oddly enough the sixth screenshot.

[Ailsa]

Very interesting character - somehow I feel that you will have great fun playing her I feel that she might become a firm favourite ^_^

, a cup of mint tea might settle your stomach.

Fessels:


Yes it's a recolour of the Triss armour. About six different variants for all sorts of characters and very nice too. I'm always looking for new stuff..

Ailsa:



Strangely enough I've never played an elf in any TES game except for Oblivion and they were custom races. You're right though, Maeve is looking like being a favourite for me, although I believe the Bosmer are cannibals so I put her on a vegetarian diet.

[Maigrets]

Here's another first for me. I always hated companions in Oblivion at least, but this time round in Skyrim I now have three humans and a dog and as soon as I get to Meeko's house I'll recruit him as well. I thought it would be a pain in the proverbial but it's working out really well.

They all have their own horses and I'm using the Followers Relax mod which is amazing. I have Lydia and Roggi from Kynesgrove, plus Odvar the Afflicted and Spots the dog which are mods. Odvar has amazing voice acting and another big plus is that he doesn't steal my XP since when he kills something or uses other skills I get the bonus. He also buffs me before a fight which is nice since I always forget to use my Stoneskin spell.

I've been getting them all kitted out in better gear (ie mods) since these screenshots, but it's taking time getting all the metals and leveling smithing. Only one to go now and that's Lydia since she won't wear light armour.

No hope dragon. Your time has come. This was a Forest Dragon from Deadly Dragons (first time I've sen one of them) and it spat poison which was a bit hard to avoid, but we prevailed.



You can't hide up there. I can see you!!



Archer extraordinaire



Four against one. There were three of these wraiths but the others took off...



Partners



Dawnstar Sunset



Chatting around the cauldron. Just ignore the dead body....

[Fessels]

LoL with the second screenshot, i am surprised that small and thin piece of rock could carry the weight of that Dragon.

[anohosikara]

Any nice picture.

Dragon is beautiful.
But it is a sad end.

[Ailsa]

Lovely shots , and my favourite is the Dawnstar Sunset - it is absolutely beautiful ^_^

[Maigrets]

And now for a change of pace. We visit the tropics.

This is my new character Ivonne, a Breton mage, currently almost level six at the time of writing.


The Standing Stones


Riverwood.


Khajiit camp outside Whiterun


Tower.


Whiterun Market


Spider standoff


Looking a bit lost.

[Fessels]

Yeah rub it will you.

Nah it looks as awesome as i saw it myself for a short time.

[Ailsa]

Soolie has put an incredible amount of work into this O_O

Ivonne looks stunning and I think you will enjoy using her in game

[Maigrets]

Thanks guys.

Yeah rub it will you.

My PC is nearly 5 years old except for a newish power supply, HDD replacement due to failure and video card last year so I'm actually very surprised I can run it at all. I do have the graphics setting on "high" not Ultra and tweak it a bit using the sliders though. Also I only have a Triple core processor, and I got it and the motherboard in 2008 and even then they weren't top of the range. Plus, I only have 3 GB of ram atm.

[Fessels]

LoL Then you have one core more then my computer, the memory is the same as yours.

[Maigrets]

But your screenshots look clear and more crisp than mine. To me, mine look flat compared to how it looks in game.

Anyway,
Ivonne had a makeover. Just the hair and an eye adjustment. She's still wearing the crappy mage robes until I can gather the ingredients I need for some modded mage gear which includes a lot of ingredients among other things. I'm really enjoying playing a full mage especially since magic mods expand the spells a lot.



Volcanic region between Riften and Windhelm.



Valtheim Towers



We woke the dragon.



And outnumbered him.



High Hrothgar. It took me AGES to find Ivarstead, let alone get up the 7000 steps. With this overhaul it really is like a different game. Up near the College of Winterhold I found a couple of hidden encampments I never knew existed since everything isn't blanketed white and almost invisible.



Shroud Hearth Barrow near Ivarstead.

[Ailsa]

Ivonne looks nice as a blonde

[Fessels]

Great screenshots Maigrets, LoL at the picture "We woke the Dragon", that parrot is wisely flying the Hell out of there.

[Maigrets]

Wild zebras from a new mod that adds herds and changes horses to use Slof's textures.


Riften. Looks like a Polynesian village.


The crew.


Rabid panda. I have the raptors etc now as I moved the mod to the bottom of the load order. However, I feel aggressive pandas is a bit over the top unless they are provoked of course, but these attack like normal bears. It annoys me sometimes in some of these types of games where everything is manic and out to eat you. The Gothic series had it right where animals, not monsters, only attack if you get in their personal space...like real animals. Anyway....


Mammoths traveling in the hot sun.


A real hottie.


Desert scene.

[Fessels]

They all look absolutely awesome, and the one "A real Hottie"..

[Maigrets]

All kitted out and ready to rumble.


Observed from on high. Nice for some to have wings...


HELLO kitties. At first I only saw a couple on the hilltop but more appeared as we got closer.


Deer taking a dip.


The acrobat.


At the start of Labyrinthian between two frost casting Draugr skeletons. Didn't stop me though and that bone dragon was a wuss. I'm Arch Mage now...Yay!

[Fessels]

It just does not matter of what you take a screenshot of with Tropical Skyrim installed, it all looks just great. As for the steroid addicted Kitties...yeah i told you they never come alone, and they are powerful as well. They are also placed in locations that are not always avoidable, you will see.

As for "The Acrobat" ...

Was your party infront of it and it just looks as weird as i think? Or has it really twisted its neck and head to the back while flying forward?

Yes, Tropical Skyrim is a photographer's dream. Every scene I come across just makes me want to screenshot it. Soolie did a good job with the animal textures too IMO. The apes are based on trolls but they really look like gorillas.

Lol...No. I watched it until it did a flyover and stopped the action and used the flying camera to take a candid shot from behind.

OH! And those lions and tigers....I came across a HUGE pride near Rorikstead. That was hairy to say the least...and in the middle of a sandstorm. Got a pic co-incidentally. I haven't seen a panther yet and I'm dreading going to Pride Rock.

Lions and tigers in the sandstorm.



And the same sandstorm. It looks really good when it happens but it's not like a real sandstorm, more like fog.



How many times have I told you...you're a deer, not a horse....and you can't have one of my wives. Now go away!



Dino. These run in packs as well, but aren't nearly as powerful as the lions. I think they had their damage reduced in the update because people were complaining.
