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
_____________________________

"You cannot take assets from another game and use them in Oblivion, and that includes other BGS games.
What you do on your own computer is up to you but we don't want to hear about it or see it." - Rohugh

"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):

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 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.

You may find these guide useful: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19362, http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17837 so you won't be lost in all those awesome animations and poses.

Dragonborn and Dawnguard pictures can be posted in here.

Nice update. I love her magical backpack that does not have straps, yet somehow stays on her back. :tongue:

» Sun Sep 21, 2014 7:53 pm

Great line about mead. Nice pics too and the characters are very well posed.

So, Kha'tryna had some power after all, huh? More college and J'zargo? Nice pics, that sparks one is great.

» Sun Sep 21, 2014 9:00 pm

Thank you :vaultboy: heh yeah, I wish they had straps. I usually use the bandolier mod along with the backpack so it looks like it has a strap, but they look too big on her. Curse you, clipping issues :pinch:

Thank you and agreed about the pic of Kha'tryna. I expected her to sneakily use a scroll :tongue:

» Sun Sep 21, 2014 11:00 pm

Thing is much of her past is forgotten, either perminatly forgotten or slowly returning in pieces. I can't say yet. But all she knows is she distinctly detests the use of magic yet surprisingly knows a few spells. the use of a scroll was not in her thought process yet. But it will be when a certain cat gives her some to use. whether or not she continues to use magic now that she remembers a few spells shall remain to be seen.

Also Vaen very nice update. I keep gushing over Talie but I can't help it. What doesn't look good on her? She makes a pick axe sixy I foundhttp://i.minus.com/ibrOHoIogxRNPc.jpgI took when playing my altmer thief Kaileena. There is some similarities though Talie looks younger. http://i.minus.com/i9IK1VRB0RBZr.jpg http://i.minus.com/ibtxYOeqPjKkMP.jpg

A pointless side story from The Missing series

Alexa was exhausted and needed a break. Her back ached, her feet were killing her and her left shoulder was sore from that time a bear slammed into her shield. She noticed some fellow hunters enjoying the hot springs and it brought a smile to her face. She couldn't think of a better idea right now than to soak her sore, bruised and aching body in the warm comforting waters.

She put down her Skyforge Steel? Sword and removed her heavy iron armor. She slowly stepped into the water and carefully sat down while trying not to aggravate any of her injuries. She closed her eyes for a few moments and sighed with relief. "This feels so good." she said. (http://share.pho.to/7E4cX/v8/original)

When Alexa opened her eyes she noticed http://share.pho.to/7E4dV/7g/original. Puzzled, she then looked over to her left, http://share.pho.to/7E4dy/qs/original. She got up and http://share.pho.to/7E4eV/7j/original.

Part 10 will be posted soon...

ok, I giggled like a girl when I saw the pic of the male hunter. he's gotta be like "man life is SOOO good right now. I got THREE almost naked beauties right at my finger tips! I'm soo laid with at least one of them!" thanks for sharing this mini side update

» Sun Sep 21, 2014 5:31 pm

Talie does look like Karliah in these pictures. Kaileena was one of my personal favorites of your characters.

Nice pictures, that one dude was creeping on Alexa, but can you blame him? She is gorgeous.

» Sun Sep 21, 2014 1:50 pm

It seems Talie and Kha'tryna have something in common :wink_smile: she dislikes magic as well, though she knows a few basic spells although they do not cause harm. She detests all forms of harmful magic, but then again she doesn't like most forms of confrontation. Hunting is her limit, but that will change soon enough~

And you're right, Karliah and her do have similarities

I always chuckle when I see that :tongue: the smile on the male hunter is slightly creepy, though highly amusing.

Kha'tryna

Getting paws on the Gauldur fragment

(concluded)

If Kha'tryna had thought for a moment she was going to be able to get ahead of Tolfdir and accomplish her own objectives. Then she was sadly mistaken as the old man managed http://i.minus.com/iVzArVBuNs3sn.jpg But while she was annoyed with the fact he seemed to be following her, http://i.minus.com/iFs2LKklo1Wg1.jpgat everything they found. "Wow would you look at these coffins? Amazing, absolutely amazing." He remarked as they stood there at the room that seemed to be a dead end. But Kha'tryna had been in enough old Nordic crypts to know what lay inside those coffins on the wall and her hand twitched above the hilt of her sword. "Amazing yes but deadly. Khajiit fears we are not alone here." No sooner had she spoken those words thttp://i.minus.com/iKzbXIm3rkHAx.jpghttp://i.minus.com/ibaRVEMRDfvW5H.jpgwhile http://i.minus.com/iblRwipJ4gNf1u.jpg "Remarkable!" Tolfdir looked around as Kha'tryna shoved one of the draugr corpses aside to reveal the coffin he came from was actually a doorway into another passage.

"Let khajiit guess, absolutely remarkable?" http://i.minus.com/ibaLkAxebEDjYJ.jpg The passage was dark and seemed to take them further under ground http://i.minus.com/iUThPQdpTqtP8.jpg Pulling a chain forced the gate open and Kha'tryna lead the way into the roomhttp://i.minus.com/ibhHAUfMO9MYUV.jpg. At this point she did not care if Tolfdir questioned why she was using weapons if she was a mage. All she knew was this room was lined with draugr coffins much like the last one and sure enough, they broke open to reveal the undead coming to life. Knowing Tolfdir could handle himself http://i.minus.com/iXaj1Hv6EgY1x.jpg, sprinting to the closest draugr to her and hacking him down. http://i.minus.com/itOknKBir7hJT.jpgso http://i.minus.com/iKcx8w6930WiQ.jpg, http://i.minus.com/iAGAlqIuIAj86.jpg http://i.minus.com/ig75ZJLcQDifG.jpg to see Tolfdir leaning against one of the stone columns. "Is Tolfdir ok?" She asked as she sheathed her weapons and approached him. "Oh I'm quite alright but maybe this is to much excitement for me. I'm going to look around here for a bit but don't wait for me, I'll catch up. http://i.minus.com/iBKrvM39OYzJL.jpg. "I think you got the last of them."

Kha'tryna was not overly concerned about his safety and she had killed all the draugr here. Plus going on ahead gave her a better chance of finding that fragment unhindered. So with no argument from her she left Tolfdir and http://i.minus.com/ibjW0469Cd2DYQ.jpg http://i.minus.com/ibqMWjTU5HRpgI.jpgthough she wished now she had not been so mean to Stenvar http://i.minus.com/iUYKy4023Iqeh.jpg Kha'tryna was able to http://i.minus.com/ibsd7Q7OtqY5Xi.jpgwell enough on her own but she missed that stern yet charming nord. http://i.minus.com/iSJ7YfLT1fUqu.jpgby the http://i.minus.com/iZEsUanPgO2T8.jpgbut http://i.minus.com/iDCdxQMOSTL48.jpgShe fought on bravely http://i.minus.com/iFeAsxfnlOtN9.jpg in the hopes of finding Jyrik Gauldurson soon. http://i.minus.com/iICWitQi36zAJ.jpgtohttp://i.minus.com/iCHoulo6DR8r1.jpglined with traps, and other dangers http://i.minus.com/iLcgBB8c3bnac.jpg. Kha'tryna came http://i.minus.com/iPkx3kN9XAwpT.jpgwhich was usually a sign that a main chamber was near. http://i.minus.com/i0Vwj3kEolIP0.jpg, she made her way http://i.minus.com/iqnzuAsuoZbQc.jpgand spun each one so the carving matched the one on the wall behind each stone. With the stones lined up she pulled the lever to open the gate at the end and there http://i.minus.com/i4vOi7bSZEInI.jpg There a draugr deathlord waited for her andhttp://i.minus.com/ienWpFFsXO7ob.jpgwith it, Kha'tryna was victorious. It dropped an ebony great sword http://i.minus.com/ibpFmy2RcKgjdF.jpgso she made sure to take it with her.

http://i.minus.com/irLlhN0155ahX.jpgbut this one was much more complicated then the first as turning one stone resulted on others turning on their own. http://i.minus.com/i8rHH8UJdxaMS.jpgwith http://i.minus.com/iG5ECH9u0aLxr.jpgand http://i.minus.com/iqfZVESpeSbwh.jpgKha'tryna knew this was it and had all but forgotten about Tolfdir until she heard him behind her. "Your a brave one to have made it this far on your own." He praised her. http://i.minus.com/iK8VKGF0FX4Lb.jpg

"Khajiit is alright." She lied for she was feeling rather tired from all the fighting she was doing on her own. But knowing she was so close to the end gave her new life and she lead the way down the flight of stairs and to the final chamber. The resting place of Jyrik Gauldurson http://i.minus.com/ioFvnJEUTf3ke.jpg Below them on the floor of the room floated http://i.minus.com/ip6rWKktUSXpt.jpg Kha'tryna had never seen http://i.minus.com/iAAXgj0B4wdqA.jpg She could sense a great power coming from it but her focus soon shifted to http://i.minus.com/ibr9GFVAd6UR8R.jpg"Jyrik." http://i.minus.com/iT3aYXpMJs4wZ.jpg

http://i.minus.com/ibimc8GCW8Awez.jpgwere hardly leaving a scratch as he seemed to be drawing strength from the orb. "He's not going down!" Kha'tryna shouted to Tolfdir who was scrambling much like Kha'tryna was to stay away from the draugr who seemed immune to might and magic. "It must be the orb!" Tolfdir concluded as he stopped attacking Jyrik and focused instead on the orb. "I'll try and draw some of its power and see if you can kill him!"

Tolfdir was right as his attack on the orb stopped it from healing http://i.minus.com/ibuXRhyRcqZ0St.jpg. And so astounded and entranced by the orb was Tolfdir that he failed to notice Kha'tryna take the final fragment from the draugr's body as well as a staff from off the table. http://i.minus.com/iorOimFPRtoMY.jpg Kha'tryna took the words right out of Tolfdir's mouth and he chuckled in response. "Yes, why yes it is. Understandably I'm going to remain here and study this while you report back to the arch mage. I'm sure he'll want to hear of this!"

He had provided her with the perfect getaway and she wasted no time taking it, http://i.minus.com/i0GVEMOo1AWjS.jpg However it was not going to be so easy as Kha'tryna was to discover the moment she stepped outside into the night for a thick snow storm had set in. http://i.minus.com/iQjJUrZUTat7q.jpg And it was in this blinding storm that she suddenly slipped and fell into a very large dark hole.

» Sun Sep 21, 2014 1:42 pm

I guess because of those similarities I read Talie's comments in Karliah's voice.

» Sun Sep 21, 2014 2:56 pm

Note: The pictures of the shouts are very blurry. I might look for a mod to fix it, or just consider it an extreme element for the atmosphere. I also know that I still have Vaennaetla, but I had no inspiration to play her. So I might discontinue her. I don't know.

Inside the monastery, http://i.imgur.com/daVYXlL.jpg, curious but also nervous. Although I admit, her nervosity is hidden like a mask. Then, http://i.imgur.com/VCukHf9.jpg None of them seem to speak, aside from one man. http://i.imgur.com/eSfXIS1.jpg, the one who speaks for the Greybeards. Before he will answer Hrafna's questions, he must be assured that she's truly Dragonborn. He commands Hrafna to strike him with the voice, which Hrafna must have discovered if she truly has the Dragonblood. Hesitant at first, Hrafna does what he asks, http://i.imgur.com/FxxBMBt.jpg Pleased and impressed, Arngeir welcomes the young and gloomy girl. http://i.imgur.com/3CNgPIK.jpg ''I know the tales, but what does it mean to be Dragonborn? And why me?'': she asks. http://i.imgur.com/KvWizuK.jpg After this introduction, http://i.imgur.com/kxM2Cwu.jpg Then, one of the Greybeards http://i.imgur.com/8QMA44x.jpg And in all sudden, http://i.imgur.com/9m7OK4I.jpg Arngeir then tells her to read it. Hrafna gets confused, she doesn't know this language. http://i.imgur.com/X1htxDz.jpg As she somehow manages to read the symbols, and http://i.imgur.com/jBV1lpC.jpg The symbols appear to be a word. ''Ro'', which means balance. She already knew ''Fus'', which means force. In combination with these words, http://i.imgur.com/nzBOkKf.jpg And her shouting is http://i.imgur.com/S6ushl1.jpg Impressed, the Greybeards then http://i.imgur.com/QK5aII5.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/3u1nfLc.jpg, a Greybeard http://i.imgur.com/OH1IJeG.jpg, like another one did to the floor. http://i.imgur.com/S7dXUVt.jpg The Greybeard http://i.imgur.com/Mi4eJ2Q.jpg Ready for the next objective, http://i.imgur.com/wJORZNX.jpg As the gate opens, a Greybeard shouts a word, and http://i.imgur.com/2enQ1J6.jpg, like a blazing wind. http://i.imgur.com/BafvSyF.jpg Once again, she seems to have no trouble, and her capability to learn quickly astonishes Arngeir. http://i.imgur.com/ZxLUnnk.jpg And then http://i.imgur.com/pO6ZC2y.jpg

The trial is to retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller in Ustengrav. After speaking some more, Hrafna bows politely infront of Arngeir. She will soon travel to Ustengrav. Maybe immediatly, maybe not. We'll see.

Jak sulked around the house for hours and his mother tried to console him, while she too was sad at Arissa's departure she was mainly upset seeing Jak suffering. Having had enough sitting around his house Jak headed to the Bee and Barb for a drink,http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/538501584007683562/7780627F1E8F0F0C91937B41B60345929A942C4F/and even challenged people to competitions but none accepted http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/538501584007684703/EB40637F570D44966523E30F38822A93E98BF011/. He eventually stood up and started causing a ruckus stumbling around and insulting people,http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/538501584007685644/A1194E6F3EBB5D3CC8D3CCC41E327FE0158477F3/ and http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/538501584007686348/8C6B1DD435D1897D7272E3BC39C5FA9A97B7FF27/ and other objects and throwing them around. Talen-Jei and Keerava had enough of Jak's antics and so Talen-Jei grabbed Jak andhttp://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/538501584007687201/61770EEA0C2AA5E924B6C5BCACBFF8EA19B2DB4D/

It was still relatively early in the afternoon and Jak was not done drinking, so he went to the only other place he could think of, the Ragged Flagon. He stumbled his way to the secret Guild entrance and made his way through the cistern and into the Flagon.

"Jak, are you sure that's the best thing? You seem pretty drunk as it is." Vekel replied looking Jak up and down.

"Hey, I am paying so what difference does it make!" Jak pointed at Vekel, and he reluctantly filled a mug of Black-Briar mead and handed it to him.

No one else in the Flagon partook in Jak's drinking and instead watched as he made a fool of himself as he made jokes that only he thought were funny. He then stood up on the table and raised a cup in the air.

"A toast... to all the dirty stinking women that roam Skyrim... who only use you." He took a swig of his drink, "http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/538501584007689456/F78E0BA39559F9FF8C94B54D5F54BA8F7FD7CE40/ Jak began laughing hysterically and stumbled off the table.

Jak went to grab more mead, but just like in the Bee and Barb the residents of the Ragged Flagon were tired of Jak, and so while Jak filled his mug Dirge came up and grabbed the mug from him. "No! That's mine!" Jak yelled and tried to forcibly grab the mug back, but Dirge threw it on the ground and cracked Jak in the back of his head knocking him out cold. Dirge dragged Jak to his bed in the cistern and threw him on to let him recollect himself.

"I'm good, thanks."

"Want to explain what is going on? First I hear you make a ruckus in the Bee and Barb and get thrown out from there and then you come down here and cause more trouble?"

"Uhuh... well after your antics Mercer is furious, he is even considering throwing you out of the Guild. I may be able to talk him out of it, but you are going to have show him a good reason not to."

"What about all I have done for the Guild so far? Is that not enough?"

"You would think, but Mercer is a hard man to bargain with." Brynjolf put his hand on Jak's shoulder,http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/538501584007693003/4B94D35ACBA9EA33C4F15E234CA96F2D55AB853A/

"Thanks Brynjolf, I really appreciate it."

This one is sort of a short one, sorry. And I couldn't help but think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMAq7iI2W3Iwhen I wrote this.

Poor Jak he's a wreck without her. I was half hoping Fina would find him face down in the dirt and take pity on him. But he probably would have insulted her and made things worse I bet. :tongue:

And nice mini update there ferrykeizer. for the blur you could try the no blur killcam mod. It doesn't completely eliminate the shout blur but it helps a lot. also removes the blur effect when you get struck. Its on nexus and steam I believe.

I like how Kha'tryne makes fun of Tolfdir constantly saying remarkable and stuff like that. This picture was my favorite because I like the the orb makes it look like their is an aura around Kha'tryna.

Nice update, I love this picture because it just shows how dark and mysterious Hrafina is, but at the same time beautiful.

I actually thought about that, having her find him and have him essentially hit on her, and while she would be flattered it would offend her at the same time, but decided not to do that.

yeah that had the potential to spiral downhill fast.

Yeah she kinda warmed up to the old man and found him charming and humorous in his own way. A subtle hint to the fact she is becoming more passive and less violent as her heat cycle progresses but no she did not like him that way LOL just was more tolerant of him then she might otherwise have been.
