WOW! Greatwork! that looks bloody stellar! what is the Location?

It's that "World of Rudra" thingy. I figured I might give the redguard her own series in the blog thing, so I downloaded it to look for Hammerfell-ish locations. You'll probably have to google it to find a download, and it's chinese with a machine translation so it's Engrish is mind bogglingly bad, but it has some very nice screenshot locales =] .

I thought 'we' were leaving Falkreath but I turned to find out that it turned out to be just me. So back I go

Six borked on the veranda and one borked in the street. We started out from in front of the inn. Great start.

I had to walk out and then use the teleport thing from EFF to get them all. After a few trials and tribulations* we made it as far as Falkreath Watchtower where I discover that there are now only six of them.

*Including a firebolt/ball to the back of my head.

A Slaverun Reloaded Riekling in Solstheim?! ?

 

He is friendly, but don't get too close to him. ⚠️⛓️

Although he makes Skyrim a lot more colorful ?

Well it's progress of a kind.

 

 

 

 

Except those steel arrows were loosed by someone who shouldn't be using a bow and there is no sign of the arrows used by my allegedly shit hot archer. Oh, I tell a lie. There is one sticking through his left calf.

The missing seventh follower turned when we entered the cave.

Wasn't bad little cave this. Lots of fungi used for cooking skooma, lots of ore veins, some decent enchanted stuff for disenchanting and the fights weren't too difficult.

Doing some testing with something that doesn't tend to be my cup of tea, but has turned out to be a lot of fun, and really well done.

And, while I try it, I'm trying to work out if it hurts her more to be strangled to within an inch of her life...

 

 

...or whack her head on the platform when she drops after release.

 

 

Also deciding how much I like stupid grass. Yes, it's actually called Stupid Grass.

While we are on the subject, who is the artist of your Odysseus and the sireni avatar image?

(The subject matter is very much my cup of tea).

Are you an actual Manc BTW?

It's Ulysses and the Sirens, by Herbert James Draper. 1909. "Ulysses" instead of Odysseus always makes me twitch a bit, similar to "Hercules," but it's a great painting.

I'm not sure if it's really proper to be using it, but I love this kind of stuff. I read the Iliad and the Odyssey quite often. Sirens should really be bird-like creatures rather than saucy mermaids, but I could never resist a saucy mermaid.

 

And yes, I'm a Manc. Most people tend to assume merManc is French. The truth is, I'm a Mancunian who swims... when not self-isolating!

John Keats

On First Looking into Chapman's Homer

 

Much have I travell’d in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-brow’d Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold:
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star’d at the Pacific—and all his men
Look’d at each other with a wild surmise—
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

I'm lazy and post it like this (if I was meant in the first place that is lol, because Speed Meatls stuff looks amazing)):

 

Base:

• Skyrim HD - 2K Textures
• Purity
• Northern Grass => so realistic that I feel allergic if I run thru high grass
• Sky Falls
• ELFX
• True Storms

 

New:

• Skyland Textures => crazy awesome geiler impact
• Enchanted Vanilla Trees => made me a treehugger
• Obsidian Mountain Fogs

After a hard first day of taking my first steps in the blacksmithing trade, I spend the misty evening just walking around town and hanging out by my tent beside the river in Riverwood... Just enjoying being a big thicc juicy Khajiit! ((I'm also looking into installing another mod to polish off my build))

Ulysses is just the Latin form of Odysseus so the image is indeed Odysseus and the Sirens. It is not as much of a distinction between that one mythical figure when using either of those two forms of the name as there is between a Greek Olympian and a Roman Olympian, especially Ares compared to Mars.

Oh yes, I understand the connection. It still irks me sometimes, perhaps irrationally - though rationality isn't something I can often lay claim to. After all, I still have very fond memories of Ulysses 31. If I can handle Odysseus in space with a light saber, I should really be ok with a Latin name change.
