Screenshot Guidelines ( MUST READ BEFORE POSTING! ):
(Thanks to bashur and Matthew Kaine(?) for the original versions of this set of guidelines over in the Oblivion Mods section )

No criticism should be directed at a person - only constructive criticism at the posters work
- How you should not post criticism: "That screenshot is really lame! The poster needs to learn how to screenshot!"
- How you should post criticism: "I'm not really a fan of that screenshot; In my opinion it could use a little more flair. Maybe try to have the angle at a diagonal slant with the sun behind them, that will give them a nice silhouette."
If you find a post offensive, REPORT IT !
- Moderators know to to quickly deal with any situation of this nature, and will remove any offensive posts.
- Arguing, instigating, or making demands regarding the post invariably ends up worsening the situation.
- Not following the above rules could result in all involved parties getting a warning, even those defending themselves.
Commenting on a posters style of play in screenshots:
- Members have a wide variety of playing styles and of capturing screenshots.
- No subjective (or moral, ethnic, political, religious, cultural, social, sixual, etc.) preferences should be dictated to others as right or wrong in this thread.
- All members are encouraged to post their screenshots regardless of their style of play, as long as they stay within the rules of this forum and thread.

Messages from the Moderators regarding this thread
"If someone barrels in and decides that the opening post guidelines for this thread are not applicable to them,
just report them, don't bother responding. Criticism for screenshots is fine, as long as it's constructive.
"I think it's stupid" and comments of that ilk? Are not criticism. They're just rather belligerant.
Don't like a particular screenshot - then don't bloody comment." - Leydenne

"This is not the place to troll, flame, or spam others. You all are here to share ideas, converse, and have a good time.
We don't want anyone to spoil the party, so if someone happens to come along with those intentions
please use the report button and ignore that person's post (Do not reply to them or acknowledge them).
We will then take the appropriate action to cull the situation and remove the problem." - DreadLord

"User made and modified in game characters depicting children must be fully clothed and not be posed in a way to be considered provocative.
The moderators have full authority to determine this and issue warns/suspensions/bans if required.
Likewise any screenshots depicting child killing will also be dealt with accordingly." - From Moderators and Forum Admin

_____________________________

"If you don't care for a particular screenshot, you do not need to comment on it. If you have constructive feedback, that is fine. And people receiving polite feedback, don't get your back up.

But just because you don't like some of the looks, or feel they show too much skin, or whatever, as long as they do not break our forum rules, you'll have to restrain yourself. Sorry- no one cares if you don't like the skimpy shots. Sure, some of them may be over the top or whatever, or simply not to one's taste, but again- if they do not break our screenshot rules, then they are fine.

Post screenshots that are pretty, that are fun, or funny or scenic. Be kind to each other. Or don't bother with the thread."- Leydenne

Tips (under development)
Camera Tips (for basic screenshots without a third-party program):

Spoiler

Press F on your keyboard to switch back and forth from first, to third-person view
Press and hold F to change the camera angle by moving your mouse around. This will rotate the camera around your character.
- A side-to-side mouse movement will rotate the camera around your player
- A forwards-backwards mouse movement will tilt the camera angle above or below your character
- The mouse scroll wheel will move the camera closer or farther away
You can equip your weapon and/or cast a spell in this position as long as you continue to hold F
Press the "Print Screen" or "Prt Scr" button at any time to take your shot.
- Be careful not to take them too close together or you'll accidentally capture the "screen shot created" message in your shot if your UI is still enabled (see below).

How to disable the UI (Stats Bars, Compass, etc):

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type TM
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
Your UI (User Interface) should now be gone
- To re-enable your UI, type TM in the console again using the steps above

How to enable Free-Flying Camera mode:

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type TFC
OR type TFC 1 to pause the action and enable the free camera.
CAUTION: Animations and gametime passage may be suspended with TFC 1, but script functions are not. Scripts may still trigger events even while the actors or props they manipulate are still frozen.
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
You can then move the camera around using the same keys you would normally use to move your character.
- To go back to normal, type TFC in the console again using the steps above
To change the speed in which the freecam moves, use the console command SUCSM (x), where (x) is the speed multiplier. Default appears to be about 10, which may be unwieldy.

How to panrotate camera while walking:

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type ANIMCAM
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
You can now rotate the camera around your character while walking/fighting etc.
- To go back to normal, type ANIMCAM in the console again using the steps above

How to Disable the AI of any Creature/NPC:

Spoiler

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type TAI
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
Entering the command while no actor is selected will cause all actors to stand at idle (but still have idle animation).
Using while an actor is selected will freeze them in-place.
To return to normal, type TAI in the console again, and press enter.

How to remove Collision from your Character (Clipping):

Type TCL
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
To return to normal, type TCL in the console again, and press enter

How to post your screenshots

Spoiler

Upload to an image hosting site. There are many popular options for doing so, including a built-in service with Steam. Per asgard: From steam's screenshot manager, you simply select a pic, then hit the upload button. Then you click on 'View online library'where you can manage all your uploaded pics.
Copy the URL for your image. The image hosting site you choose usually has a box with code to pick from. You'll want to get the code that refers to BBCode, and a direct URL. Do not bother with getting BBCode Image coding, as this forum does not support embedded images in posts.
When you post your screenshot, it's often nice to include some flavor text, rather than just posting an undescriptive URL.
The best way to do that is to type out the following: [ url = " TYPE YOUR URL HERE " ] TYPE NAME HERE [ / url ](without spaces)

How to swap out animations (pre CK, PC only)

Spoiler

Until pose mods come out, this method is the best option for making your character do things that NPCs can do!
You'll need a .bsa extractor. I (Eisoj5) am using a Fallout3 extractor for the time being, but there are more options out there.
Open the Skyrim - Animations.bsa file in your .bsa extractor. The animations for character and NPCs are located in themeshes\actors\character\animationsfolder within that file.
Extract the animations you want to play with. I (Eisoj5) have a separate folder for all the random stuff I like to mess with/add to Skyrim, so I put them in that folder.
Rename the animation you want to use ingame to sneakmtidle.hkx .
Copy your new sneakmtidle.hkx to Skyrim\Data\meshes\actors\character\animations. (You will have to create these subfolders if they do not already exist in your directory.)
In game, simply press the sneak button and your swapped animation should begin to play! Keep in mind this is only when you're sneaking and not moving. Moving will return to the regular sneak motion animation.
To get back to the normal sneak idle animation, just delete sneakmtidle.hkx fromSkyrim\Data\meshes\actors\character\animations.

Lighting Tips (courtesy of UKnightwatch)

Spoiler

To avoid bad lighting, I try to;

Not have a bright light directly behind subject
Not have a very bright light too close to front of subject
Not aim camera directly at a bright light
Turn my character into good lighting
Make good use of character items such as torch or spells that cast light and such if available

On PC;

Make use of the 'tfc' feature to move the camera accordingly to avoid bad lighting - see begining of this thread

I realise we are not all super smart when it comes to using art packages on PC (points at self as example of dimness) and we do not all have access to professional software - this has its problems.

If you are using a PC, there are some free to download image manipulating programs available - your search engine is your friend! Free software can be very basic but that is all we need. A little time taken to learn the basics of such free programs can pay off really well and bring our screenshots [more] to life.

Using FOV

Spoiler

FOV, or "field-of-view/vision", can help you zoom in for even better close-up shots.

Open the console using the ` key.
Type fov ##, where lower numbers equal a tighter zoom and higher numbers a wide angle. Close the console.
The game is preset to fov 65. FOVs lower than 50 are great for close-ups, but can be hard to frame if your TFC speed is high.
To get back to your normal setting, open the console and type either just fov again or fov 65.

MOD SUGGESTION

Spoiler

Here's a small list of mods to make your screenshots more interesting and actractive

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10870: This mod brings you a figurines allowing you to control yourself, and a special spell that can turn any NPC into brainless puppet doing any animation you want.
http://mod.dysintropi.me/mods/skyrim/ Pinup style poses for your female character... or your male, if you're into that sort of thing (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11811 needed for the mod to work)
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=11757: Removes most of the blurriness from finisher moves and reduce the number of camera cuts in most moves
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=7942: Removes drop of blood from screen
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22745: Adds footprints to the player, NPCs, and creatures
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19660: Adds a snowy visual effect to the player and NPCs when snow is falling. Effects all live and deceased NPCs and wildlife with-in a set radius.
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5164: When drawing an arrow, the arrowhead rests on the hand of all places. Unless you like having a sliced up hand, resting an arrow's head on your hand while it's nocked and drawn is a bad idea.

The two of us http://i.imgur.com/5M2A6lW.png as my plan swirled around in my head, The Dark Brotherhood, last I heard some poor kid from Windhelm was trying to contact them in order to kill off the current owner of the local orphanage. Grelod the Kind is a particularly cruel moniker, the old bat is as vile as they come. I stood emotionless before Honorhall and http://i.imgur.com/SKrsY1n.png, “I need you to wait out here, I need to send the brotherhood a message.” The Khajiit’s expression twisted to one of concern.

http://i.imgur.com/usdOake.png, we do not like the look in your eyes.” I waved away his concerns, slightly annoyed.

http://i.imgur.com/3dY7UJt.png, my profession rarely calls for me to be honest and noble. I need you to accept that.” He acknowledged my statement but made no point of accepting it as I turned to enter the hall. Quietly I leaned against the wall and http://i.imgur.com/218eIil.png

“And don’t even think about getting adopted, none of you will ever have families, you’ll live here until your old enough to kick out into that wide horrible world, now what do you say?” There was a chorus of frightened voices, http://i.imgur.com/QMB2N1p.png I rolled into the doorway and http://i.imgur.com/tdE5WJq.png before letting it fly into the old woman’s throat. Anger still swirling I quietly walked out of the orphanage as sounds of children cheering echoed off the walls.

Back outside thehttp://i.imgur.com/A6Xar6k.png as I uttered only on angry phrase, “We’re leaving.” Kharjo took a look at the orphanage confused at the joyous sounds coming from its rooms, then back at me trying to understand the anger. He decided to put the thought from his mind as we purchased a ride to Windhelm, my mood remained unchanged as we neared the city, “She was honorless scum Kharjo, she deserved far worse than the quick death I gave her.” Kharjo’s expression remained unchanged as he searched my face for the answers he sought.

“Always remember the Moons my friend, let them guide you and your path will be well lit.” He placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, “You need not feel so alone, they’re always watching over us.” I scoffed and ignored his words as a familiar anger swirled around inside me; finally we arrived at the snow covered city.

The ancient city seemed gigantic http://i.imgur.com/OCYtZh7.png, light flurries fell around us as the Aretino residence laid before us. Quickly picking the lock I found myself http://i.imgur.com/KoVfxVm.png “Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear.” I let my vampiric side take hold as the red glow of my eyes cut through the darkness.

http://i.imgur.com/0Nu4HJK.png I knelt down to the frightened child placing a soft hand on his chin, “Your will is done, and old Grelod lies dead in a ditch.” For a moment there was a stunned silence before the child unexpectedly wrapped arms around my neck.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you…” His frightened whimpered became something of a mantra before he allowed himself to part from me, “I…I had no idea the brotherhood was that good, I mean I hadn’t even told you the contact and…” He smiled wide before presenting me with an expensive bauble,http://i.imgur.com/5O7TVN6.png, I’m heading back to the orphanage…thank you again.” As we left I turned to find Kharjo smiling.

http://i.imgur.com/qr6SUZ3.png Even now your path is illuminated; you need not walk the path of a villain to infiltrate this den of thieves.” Kharjo pleaded with me to see things his way but all he found was budding resentment.

http://i.imgur.com/Khg3M3c.png, it's enough, you may not approve of my methods but this is the task I’ve been given and this is the way it gets accomplished. Now, it may take some time for the kill to make it to the brotherhood’s ears,” I angrily walked towards http://i.imgur.com/Eiz3tMO.png and bought a carriage ride to Riften. The trip was silent, leaving me with my thoughts, why can’t he see things from my point of view? Wasn’t he the one who pushed me out of hiding in the first place? The lack of answers only fueled my anger as we made our way back into Riften. “We should get some rest.” Walking into The Bee and the Barbhttp://i.imgur.com/x6kFwDi.png and I soon found myself alone in my room. Sleep…I never relished the thought, but nevertheless I forced myself into the bed and closed my eyes. The disgusting ritual from so long ago played itself back vividly before my eyes swung open, my eyes focused as I looked around the unfamiliar shack.

http://i.imgur.com/2rR29kD.png The woman’s voice dripped with annoyance, http://i.imgur.com/5dLQJkt.png, me and my associates. Your answer will determine whether I kill you or not.” I pushed myself to my feet and I cracked a smile as I let my illusion fade.

http://i.imgur.com/5dLQJkt.png You’ve no idea what you’ve started, but alas you will not be around to see their end.” I allowed a powerful surge of energy to send pieces of my flesh exploding in all directions, once again revealing the monster within. The assassin sprung to action in a flurry of swipes and strikes; sadly for Astrid, her strength and skill fell flat against the full force of a http://i.imgur.com/puJ3nFX.png, as her body slumped to the ground I reigned in my vampirism, returning to my human form and searched her body. With a key and a curious note in hand I walked towards the door while reading the rolled up parchment,

Astrid,

Try and send some competent assassins next time. Maro is not only alive and well but is now flaunting a newly ‘acquired’ suit of leather armor claiming some bumbling assassin tried to sneak up on him in broad daylight. What kind of circus are you running? Next one you send had better have a better grasp on stealth or by the eight I’ll kill them myself. Do remember to tell your little friends that he’s in Dragon Bridge.

M

“This will be quite handy” I chuckled as I walked through the door to be greeted by an exasperated Kharjo. He placed two hands on my shoulders, bracing himself to catch his breath.

“Kharjo thinks that next time you plan on getting kidnapped you should inform him beforehand.” I barely acknowledged his presence as I looked into the night.

“Fine, where are we anyway?” http://i.imgur.com/OvRvBPb.png, I http://i.imgur.com/IdnbDfA.png and as darkness became clear as day I say the silhouette of Solitude in the distance, “Good, then we had better get going. We need to head to Dragon Bridge, Commander Maro will want to hear the news.” It wasn’t long before we found ourselves in Dragon Bridge standing before the barracks for the Penitus Oculatus. Moving inside I stood at attention before the commander, http://i.imgur.com/djNzgBx.png, I have news, I’ve killed the keeper of The Dark Brotherhood.” His eyes went wide before he stammered out a response.

http://i.imgur.com/vKLlQVL.png Astrid is dead?” He thought for a moment, “General Tullius told me to expect an Agent but I wasn’t expecting…how old are you?” The Commander waved away the question before continuing,http://i.imgur.com/wBvXnoB.png the last of the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuaries in Skyrim is in Falkreath, I’ll mark it on your map, the password to the door is ‘silence, my brother’. http://i.imgur.com/moVCa0V.png once and for all; this honor should be yours, do this and you will have saved countless lives. Without saying a word I acknowledged my task and left, noticing http://i.imgur.com/nbcsEhN.png Quickening our pace we arrived at the carriage driver near Solitude and I purchased a ride to Falkreath.

As we left the carriage I turned to face my companion, http://i.imgur.com/kmvEcwE.png I was about to leave before he stopped me.

http://i.imgur.com/kwtIG4y.png I cut his thought short; I no longer cared for his protests.

http://i.imgur.com/gIT5kIF.png I brought my voice to a whisper, “I am about to go take out a den of assassins, right now I need subtlety not a protector.”http://i.imgur.com/TZiqvnX.png instead I ran off into the forest quickly coming fhttp://i.imgur.com/9o663nR.png with the sanctuary door. The passcode worked and I slowly made my way inside; using my vampiric senses http://i.imgur.com/aPprvHN.png http://i.imgur.com/IPVk7db.png, http://i.imgur.com/TrCdTaO.png I stood and slowly walked out of the sanctuary.

There were no words between Kharjo and I, http://i.imgur.com/hUowjSF.png said more than words could. I mounted the horse he had purchased for me and waited for him to do the same. As before the trip was silent, I had no desire to speak with him as that familiar and old anger festered. By the time we reached Riften it was day, I need to figure out my next step, I need a way to crumble Maven’s empire. Lost in thought I hadn’t noticed the large Nord stop near me, “I make a point of knowing anyone making multiple trips to this city,” The brute continued before stroking his beard, “What exactly is your business here?”

I smirked as my opportunity was dropped into my lap,http://i.imgur.com/HBZTE4c.png I tossed the man some coin, “Tell me about the thieves guild.” Crossing his arms the plate-mail clad Nord studied me.

“Potential recruit hmm? Talk to Brynjolf, he’s over in the market is there anything else? The name is Maul by the way.” I feigned deep thought before responding.

“Yes, tell me about the Black-Briars,” There was a moment of confusion before he continued.

“Hmpf, sometimes I forget how little you outsiders know of Skyrim much less of Riften itself. The Black-Briars are the political powerhouses in this region, Maven is the matriarch and her son Hemming is the heir to her empire. Her grandchildren are Sibbi and Ingun, though the former is in prison and the latter is oddly obsessed with some very dark circles always seems to find a way to annoy her grandmother, works for Elgrim, at his shop down there.” He motioned towards the small alchemists shop down a flight of stairs, “Now if you’ll excuse me I have work to do…oh and a word of warning, do not cross maven if you want to keep your head.” Maul didn’t wait for me to acknowledge him before he left.

An idea formed in my mind at the mention of Ingun I motioned for Kharjo to follow as I made my way into the shop, http://i.imgur.com/SxlVFC0.png, “Forgive me if this is forward but are you Ingun Black-Briar?” http://i.imgur.com/QiMRHbz.png before I continued, “Ah very good, I couldn’t help but overhear the gossip about the tensions between you and your grandmother; she doesn’t really hold your interests in high regards?” Ingun became annoyed at the assumption.

http://i.imgur.com/Z104vqO.png now I’m going to have to ask you to leave miss….” I apologetically cut her off while allowing my illusion to fall away.

“Aria, Aria Cirella, please forgive me I simply wish to give you an opportunity to show Maven how valuable your research can be.” http://i.imgur.com/01qhZ6E.png I wormed my will gently inside the girl’s mind, “http://i.imgur.com/PbcAUDa.png, this won’t take but a moment.” Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Kharjo angrily move towards the door. Watching Ingun shakily nod yes I walked towards the exit,http://i.imgur.com/M1B0nWN.png

As I left Kharjo was the first to greet me, http://i.imgur.com/kZzdrfH.png You are beginning down a dangerous path, one that we cannot follow.” I felt my anger rise as I turned my lip up at the Khajiit.

http://i.imgur.com/ERp94io.png You’re the one who pushed me out of hiding remember? This is my job, and this is how it gets done!” Kharjo waved away my retort angrily.

“You do not owe the empire anything, The Blades were dissolved long ago you do not need them to give your life purpose.” Kharjo released a heavy and frustrated sigh as my anger hung on every word.

“Don’t owe them anything? How many of my friends, my brothers and sisters of the blades met their end at the tip of a Thalmor sword? How many died alone far from their families while I sulked in the shadows and hid? I’ve done nothing but stew in my own depression for decades, this job, this is all I have left. Do you know what it’s like knowing anyone that gets close toy you will wither and die? That no matter what you do everyone you love will eventually be taken away? Besides this job all I have is loneliness and pain. No this job will be done and I will do it my way, if your morals aren’t malleable enough to handle that then you can feel free to get the hell out of my sight.”

The look on his wasn’t one of hurt, or pain, but one of loss, “If that is what you wish, Kharjo will take his leave…walk with the Moons, we will pray that we see you again.” With that Kharjo was gone, the only friend I had known for the past decade and a half was gone. I pushed the anger from my mind http://i.imgur.com/ERp94io.png, once again I allowed my vampiric side to take hold of my actions.

“I’m so glad you’ve decided to hear me out,” I walked slowly up close to her, continuing to push my will into her mind as I pulled her body into mine; I placed a tender hand on her cheek, tracing her lower lip with my thumb. A gentle kiss found its way to her lips before I brought my mouth inches from her ear and my voice to a low seductive purr, “But first, if I could have but a taste…” I let my voice trail off as I looked directly into her eyes. Ingun nodded and cocked her head to the side, exposing her neck.http://i.imgur.com/gYNLeWv.png and suddenly her mind was wide open. I cemented my will as I drained her life down my throat, finally Ingun’s will broke fully and I pulled myself away, smiling at my new thrall. As I released her she uttered one word before lowering her gaze to the floor.

Writer's note: To overcome the difficulty of writing from a nearly blind girl's perspective I plan on writing her parts in the third person. But when writing from the view point of her follower I'll write that in the first person. Just so you guys don't have to wonder why it keeps changing. I guess you could say I am experimenting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun was beginning to sink low on the western horizon as Kaileena reunited with her khajiit friends. And as the glowing rays turned red, she helped them as best she could to set up their camp. "We Khajiit will have dinner ready in a little while. Kaileena why don't you go visit Whiterun for a little while. See the city but do not stay long." One of the khajiit spoke to her as she prepared a fire.

"Alright, I'll go." Kaileena replied with a faint smile. "Will you come with me Rhaj'ade?" She turned to her towering guardian. "I can make my way around alone I am sure... but I'd like you to come all the same."

"We doubt the city guard will let us pass." He replied as he folded his muscular arms. "But we will go as far as we can."

As they approached the front gate, one of the guards walked down the steps to meet them with his hand raised in objection. http://i.minus.com/iB0EeJ4A6pnGM.jpgHe spoke in a commanding voice. http://i.minus.com/ibafZzvnIyU5Bu.jpg

http://i.minus.com/iunXETnCVwK3w.jpgKaileena objected. "You see he is my eyes http://i.minus.com/i2Dy05xuZuRMV.jpg

"And why should I even let you into the city?" http://i.minus.com/iLulg4uiDpurS.jpg "Your clearly a beggar and we do not need any more beggars in Whiterun." he continued to explain and this angered Rhaj'ade who was quick to inform the man that Kaileena only looked like this after being assaulted by bandits along the road. "At least let her in." Rhaj'ade asked.

It was with reluctance that the city guard allowed both of them to enter. With of course warnings to be on their best behavior or the city jail would be their home for the next few days. With Whiterun's hospitality clear to them, http://i.minus.com/iSAi9Or3jekST.jpg She introduced herself as Ysolda and was delighted to see a khajiit inside the city. Her name was familiar to Rhaj'ade who recalled hearing that she was one of the few khajiit friendly merchants in the area. http://i.minus.com/ibfX1z4RHGxSJU.jpgYsolda promised them as they continued on their way.

http://i.minus.com/iKBEvNtKsH79Z.jpg Kaileena sold off the bits and pieces she and Rhaj'ade had collected since leaving Falkreath. "And don't short me on the change." Kaileena informed him. "I may be blind but I can count you know. http://i.minus.com/ibVxDZs9TmhRh.jpgWell lets just say you don't want to see him angry."

"Ah hehe... well you don't need to worry about that my girl." He grinned. http://i.minus.com/iktxJJow1z6ma.jpg Though perhaps he did not think she would ever come in his doorway with anything interesting to sell. But he did pay accordingly to the value of the items she had such as the iron armor she took from that merc on the road. After the transaction was completed she gave the money to Rhaj'ade for safe keeping.

As they stepped out into the market, the sounds of merriment from http://i.minus.com/ibocKGSIidxlZ9.jpg. "Oh lets go in there shall we?" Kaileena asked her khajiit friend. "It sounds like fun in there. Plus like you said before, always pay attention to where the people hang out. It means their homes are empty right?" http://i.minus.com/ibocrV6jmSDYAu.jpg It was there in the dim light that Kaileena was able to get a better look around.
