few shots from my game. Click to enlarge. Fighting a dragon with Vilja. Drakey seems to want to bite me Wandering about we me this orc who dared call us milk-drinkers. Vilja and I decided we should stalk her for a bit. It doesn't show well, but on this shot you can see a bandolier pouch on my characher's belt that I just crafted. More bandolier, this one for potions. (It adds 50 carry weight)

I'm not using many mods, but here are those I couldn't do without:
USKP (Unofficial Skyrim Patch) Vilja Craftable Bandoliers (come in three different colours (pale, leather and dark)) Not only do they look cool on your character, they add to your carry capacity.
This list will get longer when the new area mods I'm waiting for get released -- Falskaar and Frontier formost.

That airship is impressive -- Dev Avesa I think it's called -- I saw the mod featured in the weekly mod review some time ago. MXR or what the guy calls himself who runs the review.

It'll become clearer if you read this topic: emmates.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=stories&action=display&thread=394I make stories with the games I play. It's a hobby of mine. Over the years I've made more than a dozen. I was working on my Fallout New Vegas story until December when I took a break. Attempted to continue recently, but the Steam update failed -- probably because of a problem with my harddrive. Since I can't play FNV I started playing Skyrim again, after instaling Vilja and play with her for the very first time. I was just commenting on one of the dialogue options. I took the second one just for fun and Vilja got upset with my character.

I just experienced a cat-fight between Vilja and Jordis the Shieldmaiden. We were traveling to the Shrine of Kynareth (I asked Vilja to bring me to a favorite place of hers) Just south of Windhelm, a wolf attacks. It's no threat to us and I kill it quickly (lvl 33 Imperial) But then I hear that the fighting is still going on. More wolves I think, but it is Vilja fighting with Jordis and her summoned dremora. Jordis is using lightning spells. I guess she may have accidentally hit Vilja when Jordis attacked the wolf. Vilja kills Jordis and the dremora without seemingly much effort -- she's a tough little blonde. I guess I'll start my Skyrim story soon -- now that I no longer can play NSV because of the update failing. But first I'll play a litle more with my Imperial guy. Was fun when he told Vilja she was clumsy for forgetting the Flora book. I almost thought she'd slap him

Either you've found Vilja's secret twin... or some mage made a clone of her -- that sounds plausible at least.

I think you just missed some steam sales, but they will come around again. Skyrim Steam sale is still active. 33% off.

Dawnguard and Hearthfire were 33% off when I looked yesterday. I guess that goes for the base game as well. Might be a good time to buy right now.

An alternative to the free image hosts out there is the members gallery we have at the HoT. All members who sign up to the Hall of Torque have their own gallery where they can upload their pictures, one or up to five at a time. There are three options to post your shots (copy and paste the desired link) -- thumbnail, half-size or full-size. You can arrange your gallery as you wish with categories and subcategories. And if you require help, an admin is seldom far away.
The choice is yours.

Yeah, it's the inbuilt navigation system that's the problem. Your destination may lie on the other side of a mountain, and the game will try to find the shortest route. It may try to lead you over the mountain. Or it could tell you to head up a road, only to tell you to go back the way you came moments later, then tell you to go back the same road again -- an endless loop. The problem is that the nav. system lacks the necessary detail to plot a route correctly -- you're only shown your position and a direction to go, whereas you really should be shown a fully plotted route along the existing roads and paths.

The pathfinding issue is something in the vanilla game. The game picks a path but ends up at a dead end and goes back and forth.
Anout the book, a hunch tells me you'll find it in the College library -- ask the orc.

Skyrim and its dlc is half price right now. I jumped on the opportunity to buy Hearthfire. Not sure how long this sale lasts -- probably not longer than over the weekend.

We don't know what's going on between Bethesda and Microsoft. It may be that Microsoft has put pressure on Bethesda to make Dragonborn a time exclusive -- not accepting that Hearthfire was the end of their deal. Or it could just be that Microsoft has offered a new deal for Dragonborn and possibly later coming dlc timed exclusives as well.
