Vacation Photos

...Or at least, the sort I'm more prone to taking. Some screenshots to taunt you with.

Firstly, a couple taken here recently, in the course of testing v5.6.

I looked over and saw her in the access tunnels entryway, and couldn't help myself...







You gotta love a woman that packs an M14.

...I do, anyway. But I have issues, I know.


Also, some from Oblivion have been languishing in my directory, but not posted for your consumption. May as well rectify that now.






Here in these, you can see one of the prime reasons I still play Oblivion: the scenery.

Fallout 3 may technically have more advanced graphics, but they took the post apocalyptia schtick too far. No green, no sunsets, no pretty anything.

I live in the land of sand and scrub and neverending polluted skies, so from time to time I get sick of looking at it and need to see something endearing. What better than rain, a peaceful lake, and a hot redhead in body armor?

Yes, that is Astrianna - Montana's Sexy Companion II, modified to fit my tastes.

Are we seeing a pattern, yet?

Personally, I'm not as fond of the companion. She has to be worked over before being usable for me, as Astrianna starts with enough responsibility that she'll report you for committing crimes, which gets interesting.

When my CM companions are along, they take her betrayal personally and proceed to kick the holy living shit out of Astrianna and any guards that respond to her call.

But, Astrianna can travel between Cyrodiil and the Shivering Isles, which is something standard CM companions have trouble with. So she serves a purpose.




Here you see the latest iteration of my first two CM companions. You should have no trouble recognizing them if you've used my RR Companions pack at all. Recently reworked using what I've learned from Fallout 3 over the past 10 or so months, they've ended up pretty hot.

You'll notice a startling similarity to the Astrianna screenshot posted above. That's because I was lazy and copied this face over to Astrianna rather than go to the trouble of running up an entirely new one.



And one of the prime things I miss from Oblivion when in Fallout 3: the glowing eyes option. Not made by me; they're actually Nequam's excellent eyes. Made have to learn to do a glowmap dds myself, to add the capability to FO3.

Also: wouldn't that scare the hell out of ya? Waking up to such a scene...

Okay, that's it for this show 'n tell. More screenshots were taken, but didn't pass muster to actually upload.

I'm sure I'll take more soon, though.
