Oblivion Screenshot Thread #14 : IV - Oblivion

Maxus – nice pix and that looks like a fun Ayleid mod package you’re using.

tmar – Thanks for those great shots along the Niben. I love that area. Oh, and how fun to see Cropsford all built up – I’m so glad that Baa must have helped those settlers at one time. Standing atop Arkved’s Tower is so very ‘Baa and Mooch’! That is a fun dungeon. Thanks again for your encouragement regarding V-wood Improved. Buffy loves it so far, although she is still only working the northern quarter or so. No patch – the border with Elsweyr has some floating rocks and minor land tears, but still extremely playable. Before long, I’ll switch us over to Illiana’s new March 2014 version of Elsweyr. Yes, I had heard about the sprigs and you are right; until I get into the CS to tweak them, we simply ‘disable’ them on sight.

runlykhel – Thanks! That black jaguar that sometimes hangs out with Buffy is one intimidating cat. I’m so glad that you got your game going okay again and didn’t lose your girls. The new shots are wonderful and they seem like a fun pair.

Vicho – An Argonian at home in the Black Marsh! Fabulous.

A stop at the Mages http://i.imgur.com/rK4F0fZ.png to recharge Leiffe’s dagger.

What? Hey…I got arrested twice http://i.imgur.com/zk1ilRl.png.

After getting busted for trespassing the girls made it all the way to Greyrock cave when a Legionnair jumped in front of Leiffe’s swing. Back to the castle a 40 gold fine, then they decided to set up camp in the castle court yard and get some sleep…http://i.imgur.com/JlYI2Yd.png…http://i.imgur.com/EBIKu67.png

runlykhel: Glad to see your girls back in action. Nice shots. A real pair of jailbirds.

Acadian: Don’t mess with Buffy! Will you be able to “enable” the VI Spriggans later to bring them back into the game?

runlykhel – Thanks! Looks like your girls had a busy Skingrad day! Goblin huntin’ and jail hopping. Ha! With a name like ‘Task-Me’, of course she’ll help carry some loot! Setting up camp by the jail was probably a good idea – you know, a short walk to work.

tmar - I love it when it snows around Cheydinhal. Yes, I’ll bet Mooch has trouble with some of those traps. At least those Kimono Thong Thugs are friendly. Wow, I’ve never seen a wisp under water. Head-shooting ogres! Ah, gorillas in the mist. . . . And a jog straight to the shopping district of the IC! We can never do that route without stopping at Barren Cave, the waterfalls, Belda, Vilverin. . . .

*

Valenwood is going well. When Buffy takes on a cartography task for the MG, she does a very thorough job, so she'll be quite a while mapping out the province. Buffy's having a great time though and we are taking some screen shots. It’ll be a while before we post them though as we have a fair number of Cyrodiil shots yet to post here. Oh, we ‘fixed’ the VI sprigs so they’re friendly, just like the Cyrodiil ones (in Buffy’s world).

Me neither.

Ahh...Baa is such a sweet looking (but deadly) honey. Looks can be so decieving.

:hehe: OMG...I never realized how elfish tiny Buffy really was. She's so cute, makes all her take downs take on a whole new meaning for me. :yes:

» Sat May 17, 2014 8:30 pm

Acadian: Tiny Buffy and V-wood exploring. :thumbsup:

runlykhel: Thanks. Baa has mellowed some as she gets older and now lets Mooch or some of the other girls do most of the killing. Lately, however, I’ve been playing FO3 and it’s rubbed off on Baa and her aggression level has gone way up.

Later … They thought up a new adventure … A few days ago when they were in the mountains above Cheydinhal they noticed that the castle had a large flat roof, so they decided to check it out. After traveling to Cheydinhal again, they climbed the walls to the castle roof using Acrobatics of about 600 from Baa’s skill, enchantments, spells, greater powers, and potions. Some screenies:

tmr; that mesh is a killer :tongue: As always, poor Mooch.

Leiffe buys another house :whistling:

Leiffe met a young nobleman whose wife had been killed by a marauding band of mud crabs and talked him into selling his country house cheap.

Tasqmi knew the house for she and a friend had stayed in it a while before being chased off by the nobleman. Tasqmi,”I told you it was a http://i.imgur.com/X2vikHb.png.” Leiffe, “it’s http://i.imgur.com/2tgD6MI.png.”

http://i.imgur.com/qkUPnsK.png, dining http://i.imgur.com/jqN06vt.png, Leiffe, “What’s http://i.imgur.com/hCbuO09.png?”. Tasqmi, “I don’t know it’s new.”

Kind of http://i.imgur.com/sEqD09e.png, not your normal http://i.imgur.com/WOITryG.png.

Leiffe, “I think I’ll call him http://i.imgur.com/v7jZFzJ.png.”

Looking http://i.imgur.com/sY4ls1u.png. Looks like we’ll be http://i.imgur.com/UALUNfr.png well when we’re here.

Upstairs is the http://i.imgur.com/sU5yfVs.png. The girls were http://i.imgur.com/E1Z46Et.png after a long night. (Not sure why but Tasqmi went all the way across the room to this bed instead of one close by, they are all playerfaction)

Well that’s http://i.imgur.com/OIOVwkx.png the herd a little. Tasqmi, “hey…I’m going to http://i.imgur.com/kmYH5md.png, I’m hungry.”

A daylight http://i.imgur.com/Y0DFpTh.jpg.

This is the same house I showed before with a lot of refinements. The original basemant was rather rote, so I built this cave as a replacement.

The house is no longer as neat as it was, Tasqmi likes to practice with her blade and bow, and isn’t too particular where. It can sometimes be http://i.imgur.com/4Gq3QZi.png. (The guard just stood there looking confused while Tasqmi put a half a dozen or more arrows in him. No arrest etc.)

runlykhel: That’s a really nice house mod you’ve put together. I love that basemant. Thanks for the tour. Ha Ha, companions can get away with murder. :evil:

The new adventures of Baa and Mooch doing a little alchemy work. The potions that Baa uses while climbing are hard to come by and she used up four of her nine at Cheydinhal Castle. So they are off to Elsweyr to collect the two rare ingredients needed to make more.

runlykhel – Aww, thanks! Wow, what a great tour of Leiffe’s house! The basemant seems wonderfully practical. No wonder Tasqmi recommended the house. Even little imp guardians! Yikes, Tasqmi needs to learn what those straw practice targets are for.

tmar – Thank you! More fun with heights featuring Baa & Mooch. This time, castle roofing it. Fast traveling out of that stuck spot was great thinking. I’ll bet they’ll be missing all that rain once they actually get to Elsweyr. Gathering desert ingredients, Baa style. I simply love Elsweyr!

*

With her bow almost ‘welded’ to her left hand, Buffy is most decidedly a right-handed caster. The one exception is a powerful shield spell that Boderi Farano relentlessly drilled into Buffy if cornered. The spell infuses a powerful ward from Buffy's left hand into her bow so the fragile weapon can be used effectively for blocking without sustaining damage. http://i.imgur.com/Sd778mX.jpg With such additional protection, Buffy can generally manage a right handed spell to immobilize her foe, then either bring arrow or an absorb health spell to bear. ~~She’s asked me not to mention that such encounters generally result in peeing her greaves as well.~~

» Sat May 17, 2014 10:04 pm

Wow, a Buffy action shot. Baa did that in her Chain Greaves once and they rusted.

tmar - I really like roleplaying around the sandstorms in Elsweyr - especially trying to take proper care of a horse. But the desert feels so nice once the storm is over though. Great action shots, as ever.

Are you using Illiana's new Elsweyr March 2014 mod yet? I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I uninstalled and deleted Valenwood Improved (VI). The terrain tears quite trashed the view west from Elsweyr. More importantly, we got hit by a 'I HAVE NO GREETING' bug that infected almost all NPCs in all provinces. I attribute the bug to VI. Uninstalling and deleting VI didn't even fix the bug (initially). I had to revert to a 'pre-VI' save from a week or so ago. Buffy cried just a little, but a couple of Cyrodill 'Marauder Slaughter' binges made her all happy again.

Again, great shots of Baa and Mooch!

Just wanted to say thank you very much to those that link directly to the picture instead of making my browser load every single tinychat/imgur/photobucket/imageshare feature before getting to the image itself

» Sun May 18, 2014 3:09 am

Acadian: After you mentioned the new Elsweyr mod a while back I looked for it, but haven’t found it. Even if I do come across it, I would probably hesitate replacing the old one. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. These big mods can be a bit temperamental as I guess you just found out with VI. I’m sorry that happened because Valenwood is so beautiful to wander around in and some of the dungeons are extraordinary. The land tears and ghost mountains were fixed in Baa’s game by running TES4LODGen_2 - a really great tool that works wonders. The NO GREETING bug happened in Mooch @Level 51’s game from a corrupt save apparently created when Baa the Companion was added. (Mooch @51 is Baa the PC with Mooch’s face.) :bonk: After deleting Baa.esp and making a clean save it was still broken. Backing up before Baa was added fixed everything - then Baa the C was added back and they all went to Elsweyr and VI and everything was fine. The Mooch/Baa bug also bugged Baa’s game with a doppelganger following her around some of the time along with Baa the Companion. :bonk: :bonk: Buffy’s “Marauder Slaughters” sound a bit like Baa and her girl gang killing all the guards in Cyrodiil after an unpleasant experience hereabout. That works wonders, too.

:rofl: , thanks, was a lot of work for a noobe.

Got my monday morning dose of Baa and Mooch, always brightens the day. Tasqmi's weapons disappear now and then also. :ooo:

AyumiFan – Wonderful to see you on here!

runlykhel – Thanks!

tmar – Thanks for your insights, including your history with the NO GREETING bug. I didn’t think about a corrupted save, but I should have. The Anequina March 2014 requires uninstalling the old Anequina, clean save, reinstall. I’ve no idea if the VI-Elsweyr patch would work or if any of the Anequina add-ons you have would work. I think the main draw of the new Anequina is that is adds Rimmen. Since I don’t have VI or any Anequina add-ons, I’ll probably try it when I feel brave enough. Great shots of Baa and Mooch today as they traverse their rainy Cyrodiil back to home base at Skingrad. Glad they got all those ingredients they wanted. I found with our portable campsite mod, I can buy and use extra campfires. So Buffy always carries a few extra for non-functioning fireplaces she wants to see working. We like that now better than torches. Baa looks wonderful in her Divine Crusader gear!

"Join the Guild", they said. Thinking of their words now, bothers me. Why? Because I could do something they were worried about? Perhaps even, it was not my affinity, but everything else. Still, even if I see the potential to prosper, I see everything else as well. Cyrodiil Is dangerous, though that would be true of every Province in the Empire. However, true dangers are those that are not common. Things that only the foolish, or the adventerous ever encounter, and for a few, in this danger, they still prosper. Have I become one of the latter?

Perhaps. Now I use more than just the contribution to Tamriel made by an anicent deity. Now, I have another way to use my body, and the crimson streams within it. To become a danger...something that people fear...it is a feeling that I believe has worth - no matter if it is because you would look up from your prey, blood staining your lips, a smile decorating your mouth, or if you are Archmage of the Guild, the High Chancellor, or the Emperor himself. But they, at times, only seek death, or order. The desire of Molag Bal's children, is much...sweeter.

However, I will not lose sight of my other desires.They are far to pressing for that.

http://i.imgur.com/3BFGLMX.png

On the way to the Imperial City, curiosity, and perhaps boredom gets the better of us...

Indeed. Only level 12-13/14 at that point, and there must have been at least 6 Lesser Balrogs. Though I did see more of those Morphoid creatures, which were a bit more annoying than the Balrogs. Must have knocked a few off one of the interior bridges, along with them knocking Zayne off at least once(which had me wondering what it takes to use BiE's Fly abiity).
