Re: Skyrim!
She looks great, Rhye! and yea, I definitely didn't like how the elves looked without any texture mods to smooth their faces, it's what kept me from playing all the human races for the longest time

Re: Skyrim!
And the face (eyes) she slowly fell in love with. :3 I know he's not "handsome" by the game's standards, but I came to adore him all the same.
(And I saw stuff like this online and thought maybe he wasn't so bad after all..... )

Re: Skyrim!
So like, I married Vald and all and was happy, but deep down it slightly bothers me that he still calls me "Thane" while following. While milling around the house it's fine, he says "love" and "dear" and all that. But following me (which is like 95% of the time), it's "Thane this" and "Thane that". I dunno. I tried all sorts of things like removefac and blah blah, even tried a mod, and nothing could fix the dialogue.
I remembered reading in the console command list on a few sites where you can make any NPC in the game be a follower and marry you with a few simple commands. I also remembered there was ONE other guy in the game I was actually interested in, but who isn't a vanilla follower/spouse candidate. Well, I decided to try all these little tricks, and sure enough, it worked.
Ungrien's a dude you meet in Riften that works at the Black-Briar Meadery, and pretends to be all happy but if you have high enough Speech, you can make him tell you how he really feels. I remember feeling so bad for him and wanting to get him out of there, plus he's an elf like me, but nooooo, not eligible. Well, hah! I tappity-tapped some console magic on him, and made him a follower/marriage eligible/leveled up/good at 1h and block/etc. Next thing you know, badda-boom, we're in the Temple of Mara getting hitched (on a previous safe, obvi). I then sent him off to my home in Whiterun, then made him be a follower, then slapped some gear on him right quick, and now I have an elven husband with a handsome voice that doesn't say "thane" all the time.
I should not be allowed to use console stuff. I'm out of control...... So now I've gotten myself in the ugly situation of having two guys to choose from, and not being sure which one I want. The one I slowly grew fond of over time, or the one I got excited about right away but was initially let down because Bethesda is poop? Blargh! (Only thing I haven't checked is whether Lover's Comfort activates properly.....everything else is golden so far; but that's like such a minor thing if it means having a guy I really clicked with immediately, right? Womp! Also, I read that finishing the Thieves Guild questline can make him disappear, which would suck major nards if he just vanished on me someday......)
EDIT! Yep, Lover's Comfort works. Well, dagnabbit. Choice is getting harder and harder.

Re: Skyrim!
Actually the above is truth but at the same time a fib. My old character married EVERYONE who you could force into it. *snerk* She married every follower just too see what lines they'd spill out and even characters not meant to be like Adrianne Avenicci. I can say that Lucan Valerius (Riverwood Trader). Creepy. Like seriously creepy as a husband.
But Erik. Man. Always had my heart that one.
Start over character hasn't married and probably never will. She has completed the Thieves Guild quest line though. Want me to make her marry your guy and see if he disappears? Or does he have to be with you when you start?

Re: Skyrim!
I haven't been able to play in a few days due to working a buttload of hours, but when I do, I plan on reloading a previous save and just taking him out as a follower before marrying, just to make sure he fights okay and that everything's working properly. That, and I still haven't decided between the two of them yet.
Glad I'm not the only one that does this, however.....

Re: Skyrim!
Funny cause under the wiki Valdimar shows as a sorcerer and proficient with heavy armor. Funny I never noticed him casting spells when defending Windstad Manor. Holy crap! I need to check on him. I think he died! Oh man. I'll be ticked if he died.
I too haven't done pretty much any gaming in WEEKS because of work and then I got the flu a week ago.
Stay tuned on my Valdimar.
Edit: Whew. He's fine!
Proof of life!
Him's hiding in the shrubs
Shadowmere has this look on his face like "I can still see you!"
Scenic views from Windstad Manor:
I feel so much better now.

Re: Skyrim!
Argis along with Onmund from the college and Marcurio are my favourite followers so now Ameri lives in Windsad manor along with his spouse Argis and Steward.
The Voikhar vampires seem far less sensitive than the 'other' ones and I kinda think the eyes are neat .. maybe I'm a weirdo
Some pictures of Ameri.
Granted the armor isn't particularly lore friendly but I adore how it looks.
I almost always use either Argis,Onmund or Marcurio in my playthroughs, I have cosmetic mods installed for Marc and Onmund.I quite like Argis the way he looks in the basegame.
"my" Onmund (mod by CrimsonFairy)
"My" Marcurio (mod by Kerwin1988)
Argis .. hubba hubba

Re: Skyrim!
My girl is a werewolf. I tried being a vampire but really didn't like it. Serana is still her follower though.
All this talk makes me wanna play. teeheehee
Edit: Almost forgot. You have some VERY handsome boys Nef.

Re: Skyrim!
And Nef, your modded dudes look about 30x better than the actual ones, lol. I had heard a lot about Onmund's jaw, but didn't join the College 'til just yesterday. He looks alright from the front, but from the side.....yeesh. Poor guy. Vanilla Marcurio isn't too bad, but his mouth seems like it's too close to his nose or something so he's always got this bulldog face going on. At least that's how it looks to me. I dunno. Vald is kinda old, but I love his eyes and he's just so darned useful in combat. Ah, my Bear..... Only thing I'm seriously on the fence about is whether or not I want to become a Vampire Lord, and use AFT to make Valdimar one too. 1) Not sure that I want to change either of our faces, and 2) I don't know if it will satisfy the quest "The Gift". Argh!
My Windstad Manor is really tiny right now. I started adding the main hall last night, but ran out of logs. It was 2 a.m. so I figured I could pick up on it some other time. Darned work, making me wake up before noon and junk. And what is with the darned game scattering all my placed items everywhere? Geez, I want to add a couple of personal touches with an urn or statue of Dibella, and when I come back home, it looks like a bomb went off inside.

Re: Skyrim!
Speaking of marriage. On my very first toon I married Angrenor Once-Honored. He does call you "love" etc. I married him way back then because I felt SO BAD for him.
I REALLY want to play but sadly worked kicked my butt today so I am too wore out to sit at my laptop tonight

Re: Skyrim!
I downloaded three mods tonight: AFT (Amazing Follower Tweaks), something about better-looking vampires, and Horses for Followers. I'm not a vampire yet, but it's there in case I decide to go that route. The horse mod is probably not as good as Convenient Horses, but I didn't want anything overly complicated and fancy. I just want Valdimar to have his own horse. And I downloaded AFT for various quality-of-life improvements.
The horse one is a bit testy on my file. I think it's because I already have Frost, I should have downloaded it a long time ago. It wouldn't let me buy a horse for Valdimar no matter what I did, but it would let me buy one for myself. I messed with it for a while, and all I could do was just buy my own one and let him have Frost. He was determined to keep him for himself, so whatever. He rides him now, it works, I'm happy.
Amazing Follower Tweaks is very very in-depth and I have barely touched most of the features, but I did set up his standard gear (no crappy Hunting Bow and sucky iron armor, yay!), house gear, aaaand looked at his stats? I think that's all I've done. Oh and enjoyed the very unpolished "give me some sugar" animation. What is really nice about this mod that I'm enjoying the most is that the follower becomes much more animated. He actually does things while I'm idle now, instead of standing there like a robot. Peep the pics, yo!
He chills like a boss:
Presumably smiths some things:
Gets his grind on:
Follows me into the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary and chills some more:
Sweeps dem floors:
And sports a loincloth like nobody's business (ahem):
And he really, really likes Frost. So um, whatever I guess. I'll keep Non-Unique Horse #287.
And here's mah lady with some shiny gold earrings and a circlet, which until a day or two ago I didn't realize I could wear under my hood!:

Re: Skyrim!
I've been dipping into skyrim now and then playing my Vokhiar vampire Ameridin mostly. he's a dark brotherhood member, may do thieves guild later on, haven't decided yet.
Ameri and Shadowmere on the road.
and a great looking armor I've fallen in love with beside the "Cleric armor" Ameridan wears.

Re: Skyrim!
Almost.
I probably don't know what I'm missing but I am not sure I want to push my poor laptop graphically any more than I have too. Poor thing sounds like she's gonna explode.

Re: Skyrim!
She's probably going to be a part of the thieves guild eventually. she managed to scrape enough together to get Lakeview Manor and build herself a small home there.
just stole Frost, i love how he looks with armor on. the armor was originally from a separate mod giving all horses different armorings, Shadowmere and Frost got unique sets but now the armorings are included in the convenient horses mod.
Syb's current follower and possibly future husband.

Re: Skyrim!
Random question.. But have any of you guys had trouble with your followers lately? o_O
With mine, when I get on my mount they turn and start walking off to... who knows! Prob to their spawn point where I had found them. I have to rush over and talk to them to get them to follow again.
I've had this happen with two different followers and I'm not sure what's going on D:
Siggy under construction!

Re: Skyrim!
I have a dilemma .. I made two characters intent for the same role >< now I can't decide which one I like better .. I haven't really worked out a background for either yet exept that Arundil is the cousin of my voikhar vampire Ameridin.
Arundil is an altmer like Ameridin
Harald is a nord
On an unrelated note, my half nord half altmer girl Idris with her future husband.
Edit : found this hairmod with physics which doesn't require like 100 different support mods, just HDT physics.
it has this long braid I decided to use for Idris and boy do I love it.
