  1. I tried to understand something in the video by step about fnis installation, but failed pityfully (english is not my language, I can read it but I've still a bad time with the spoken language). Is there somewhere a written tutorial about the topic (in english or italian, because that are the only languages I can read)? I need to know how to install it and how to make it work in MO2. The only thing I understood in the video is that the simple action that abilitate bodyslide are not enough. Thank you for your answers.
  2. I'm writing some fantasy sentences (currently, about 560000 chars), but, to keep it simple, I set them in North Wales. I'm wondering if in the forum there are people who know Cymraeg or Gaelic and are so kind to give me some needed advice for some translation. Here there are the more compelling: I need to translate "An Ancient Path" and managed to put together "Hen Llwybr", but I would appreciate some control. And I need the Gaelic form of "Ann O'Reilly". I've red, some times ago, a page about the transformations that the family names takes when they come after the word "Ní", and I understand (at least, it seems to me) that If the first letter is "R" the pronunciation actually changes, but not the spelling. So, I've found "Aine Ní Raghallaigh", but I would your advice about this, too. Thank you for your attention.
  3. Actually, the forum works (for me, at least). Instead, the part from which the mods are downloaded works some minutes then stops. For me, it begun after april 25th: the block came after surfing the site and downloading for a long time. Then the time kept become shorter and shorter, and in the same time the https disappeared. Today it happened after about 15-20 minutes, and ten downloads. But HunZolka gave me a hint: I have a lot of tabs opened. By the way, currently, on linux kunbuntu, my firefox occupy about 600 Mb (not sure if the information means something). I apologize for my poor English.
  4. Vilja by Emma and CDCooley does, if I remember correctly
  5. I would like to do a slightly different thing: - do the quest - lie to the Gray Prince, saying him, as an example, I found nothing (giving up the training, in which I'm not interested) - have a proper fight Is it possible (even cheating or by a mod)?
  6. Try this: - go in your "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion" directory (the dir which contains your "saves" directory") - rename the Oblivion.ini file you find there, as such the program can't recognize it (something like Oblivion_old.ini or similar...). The program will create a brand new Oblivion.ini file the firs time is executed. - Start Oblivion. I hope it works. If it doesn't, give a glance at these: Nexus Forum or Bethsoft Forum
  7. I tried this one, that seems to me quite interesting: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19949 The emperor is still alive (g) and Kvatch has not yet been invaded (i). Unfortunately, I had some problems, nothing that can't be resolved, I think. As an example, there was probably some conflict with others mods: it was impossible to go out from the boat. I resolved with a provvidential transit to the testinghall (Nehmain wanted the Ravenous Elegance and the Lethal Majestic, anyway). Moreover, I prpbable failed in installing the necessary parts if Kvatch Rebuild: there was a lot of yellow marks in Kvatch (but the city was there and there was no Oblivion gate...) there was also an annoying "Boom... Boom..." in the effect sounds (I'm quite positive it was this mod, because it disappeared when I reteurned to an other alternate start). I'm thinking to try it again, when I've more time to fix the problems (I'm wondering if BAIN could fix them...)
  8. Nehmain is the eldest of my characters I still play. As a character, she was born thanks to Cortex. I created her to play his Vampire Embrace in Morrowind. As such, she have been blessed by a lot of time for gathering details to flesh out her background. Actually, her background covers not only her life before Oblivion, but also the whole life of her mother, that is supposed to be the unknown hero of Daggerfall. As a matter of facts, Karrakaz (Nehmain's mother) is the result of a synthesis of several characters I played in Daggerfall named Karrakaz/Ressaven (since often I call my characters after the ones of the books I was reading at the time, you can guess what I was reading while I was playing Daggerfall...). As a character, I think (I hope, actually) that by now Nehmain has developed a voice of her own. Note! Nehmain "kindly" asked me to let her answer the questions. Personally, I'm not able to say her "no" (if you think you can, you're welcome...). So, she wrote down her answers using blue ink (since she loves the colour...). Then, in the usual grey, I added my comments and filled the questions she hasn't answered. (And finally, I revised the whole thing and added my last notes: do not expect I let BadbCatha to have the last word). Name: Nehmain Bonenfant (also known as Rose-Marie Slywater. Nope. That has never been my name. Rose-Marie Slywater never existed.) Gender: I'm a girl Born: 3E 408. Race: True Blood Vampire Starsign: The Thief Alignment: Align-what? You're joking, aren't you? If so, Chaotic. Definitely. ...Neutral, if you want. (I mean: alignment... me!) Class: Knavish Trickster. Ask BadbCatha why... (It isn't easy to find a class she belongs to. Nehmain is too stubborn and individualistic to allow someone to encage her in a existing class. So, a custom class was needed. I do not pretend to know by heart the Shakespeare's work, or that I had, or would it, track down every occurences of the word "knave" in such work: I'm too lazy. It's enough to me having seen his use of the word "knave" two times: king Lear calls "pretty knave" the Foul; Oberon instils that Robin Goodfellow "committs his knaveries wilfully". This establishes, by me, the requested connection between the two words. King Lear's Foul and Robin Goodfellow are embodiments of the archetype of the Trickster, which they share with such characters as Hermes, Loki, Harlequin, and so on. I thought that such a company, if any, could be the one Nehmain would like to belong to.) Homes: A lot scattered in Cyrodiil and in Morrowind, but my favourite are the ones I can carry always with me (Clept, as an example) Favourite Land: Sheogorath in Morrowind, that place is messy like me. And Solstheim: such a unbearable beauty... Best Friend: Vilja, finally found someone who can laugh about the vampire thing... And Mannimarco, who has always acted as a father, for me. Worst Enemy: I’m a nice girl, I’ve no enemy. (This is not completely accurate: take as an example the captive in Deepscorn Hollow. He used to be someone she could consider a worst enemy...) Combat Preference: When in Morrowind, dual wielded wakizashi. I love the delivery system of both food and weapons they use in Morrowind. Lately, I began to appreciate Hand to Hand. Also, I can kill "as a vampire", you know, but only if I think my target deserves the extra stress (by the way, I think that destroying a good source of food is a really stupid behaviour that must be avoided, if possible). Combat Style: When I was young, I had quite a impetuous behaviour, I used to jump in the very middle of the action, singing a happy song. Lately, as I grow older, I adopted a quieter stance, silently sliding near my target, and hitting them lightning fast. Greatest Fear: I fear nothing. (Actually, it's not true. Judging by her reactions, she fears the possibility that someone could have the power of actually gain control over her. The only suspect is able to take out her worst side. As an example, the "sleeping" guy in Deepscorn Hollow had tried the task, without the necessary power: you can see the result. I'm going to bite you, if you don't learn to behave yourself and shut up...) Greatest Want: This is a really interesting question! May I address directly the Bethesda Staff? If so, I beg you: make feasible to play Skyrim as a vampire. I'm a Vampire (and proud to be) and I'm eager to move to Skyrim: make this possible. The easiest way is to implement a basic vampirism (useful for NPC), leaving space to the modders: you cannot satisfy everybody, because different people want different things: modders can provide variety. As an example: you know the workings for which when someone became a vampire is completely disfeatured? Several mods are been done to remedy that, and hordes of players use them. If you throw it in the trashcan, you save time (that you can use better), modders save time (they can use it better, too), players save a place in their total amount of mods, and became a bit less prone to bugs. And, by the way, please, do not call me "soulless monster", only because I need some haemoglobine from time to time. (What? I'm not allowed to address directly the Bethesda Staff? That's the reason for which I rushed to speak before you could stop me...) Physique: Slender, agile, not so tall (when I say I had to jump to someone's throat, I mean actually that) Level: Currently, 24 (in progress...) Joined Guilds/Factions: Mages' Guild (I love the way they supply free meals... By the way, someone's thinking I cannot be in the Mages' Guild, being a friend of Mannimarco? I've never been bothered by questions of this kind: I still remember when Ranis Athrys asked me to find the Telvanni spy in the guild...); Fighter's Guild (I'm still waiting for their free meals: they're not as well organized as the Mages...). Oh, by the way, I've gained the title of Baroness of Casa Bella Vista, recently. I'm confident the local settler have been pleased, not less than the Telvanni have been, when I've been elected their arcmagister in Morrowind. More interesting, I've just managed to be welcome to Kynareth's and Hircine's service as a Druid (Druid mod Remade by Pimpskinny, with my best thanks...). OK, "service" is a word that gives me the hives. Let say they have kindly granted me their benevolence, and I've kindly accepted. I'm also considering the opportunities given by the Dark Brotherhood, the Thieves' Guild and the Arena. There seems to be a lot of fun, in their quests. Not sure I could bear the "shut up and obey" stance in the Dark Brotherhood, however. But perhaps, part of the fun will be in teach them what they can and what they can't take as granted... Enemy Guilds/Factions: Vampire Hunters, Witch Hunters, Crusaders, all the holier-than-thou lot, you know... Childhood: I spent it tossed back and forth like a ragdoll... - Nehmain is the daughter of the unknown hero of Daggerfall and a vine farmer from Wayrest. Her father was murdered before her birth. Her mother, thinking to be targeted, hid the child in a village of Ilessan Hills, entrusted to an old woman. Then, she was forced to undertake a mission that keep her far-off for years. When the old woman died, Nehmain (about three years old) was housed in a orphanage driven by Stendarr's priests. When the mother came back, nobody was able to tell her where the child was. At the age of six, Nehmain was adopted by the Slywater, who bring her at the court of Wayrest (lord Slywater was a far cousin of king Eadwyre). The Slywaters adopted Nehmain not for her sake. They just wanted to earn the favour of the religious hierarchy. So, they neglected the child from the beginning. Teenage: I spent it trying to survive my murderous step-relatives... - Neither Nehmain, nor the Slywater were important enough to actually be involved in the murderous game that was played in the Wayrest court - think about Elysana... - nonetheless, the scent of murder was always in the air. The Slywaters were not interested in Nehmain enough to pay for her education. Fortunately, other people commit themselves to take care of the matter. An old scholar gave her the general education, the now-retired captain of the night blades - remember the guards of Castle Wayrest? - provided her the best training the night-blade Academy could give, and Mannimarco granted her the access to... a less conventional high quality training - from the Necromancers. Eventually, to stop the Slywater to arrange her wedding, and after having disposed of the last ***** who thought her available for such arranged wedding, she went to Necrom to continue her studies. Prefered Food: Besides blood? Let me see... Oh, yes, Blood, naturally. Disliked Food: Khajiits (too furry), Argonians (too much scales), Corprus Beasts (I don’t eat rotten things), Xivilai and Dremora (they’re taste is... weird. Useless things: neither good to eat.) Favourite Arrow Type: Arrows are not my cup of tea. I prefer ranged destruction spells. But I'm going to train my marksman skill, as soon as I can. Everything is worth to be learned. Favourite Blade Type: Dual wielded wakizashi (as I said, I really enjoyed the system of delivery in use in Morrowind: it was funny). Katanas are too heavy and too long. But, growing old, I became lazy: currently, I prefer hand-to-hand. If really I need, I can always conjure a dagger. Favourite Outfit: I hope you don't think I'm willing to wear something that weighs more than me! Thanks to AlienSlof, I found Animation's amazing LWB Unarmoured. I use also the not less amazing ZenshinZenrei's Class Advantages. Those mods together allow me not to use any armour. Speaking about the style, Sinblood's Ravenous Elegance is a good example of what I like (if only BadbCatha wasn't too lazy to open it in the CS and modify a tag...). But sometimes I prefer something less... goth: something like Shaiya, you know. Spells: I breathe spells. Not only they're useful, I enjoy the feeling of the magicka flowing in my body, too. Friendly Races: I never put the question in "race" term: it's definitely a personal matter. However, the ones who don't call me "soulless monster" have good chances to become my friends. Neutral Races: As above. Hostile Races: As above. Favourite City/Town: I don't like cities. To live one over the other? a nightmare. I prefer to have the stars over my head. However, in Cyrodiil I don't dislike so much Cheydinal. But it's only an architectural question. If only they haven't told me that captain Leland can come in handy later... Least Favourite City/Town: Leyawiin: it has neither the architecture to balance the Countess (I'm only waiting her be no longer necessary for the quests... then I'll make her worth of something, finally.) Favourite Daedra: Sanguine: he makes me laugh, and is a good binge fellow. Hircine: he knows how to play... and I know even better. Least Favourite Daedra: Mehrunes Dagon: such a bull in a china shop; Molag Bal: too chauvinist; Mephala: spiders? where is the DDT? (don't tell Therana and AlienSlof...); Boetiah: too simple-minded; Jyggalag: frankly, if anyone can cope to kill me, it's him: such a bore...; Meridia: has anyone brain washed her? Can she say anything else than "soulless monster"? Have I to get in her head the thought that Vampires are not undead using a war-hammer? Favourite Divine: Considering she’s a vampire, and one of her best friends is Mannimarco, you can guess she worships... Arkay, who else? (This is inaccurate: I like the girls, too. Kynareth in particular: I feel a certain sense of identity with her). (Kynareth seems to be the Tamrielic counterpart of Artemis. Not a perfectly fitting counterpart, actually: as a matter of fact, Kyne is supposed to have been married, and still be mourning for the loss of her beloved: can you see the Artemis' raised eyebrow about the subject? Nehmain shares the Artemis' absolute wish of autonomy) Least Favourite Divine: None Main Weakness: Her inability to take anything seriously. Main Strength: Her ability to take nothing seriously. Goal in life: Having fun, what else? Why she was sent to jail: This is a really good question! I never understood why! Actually, I thing I've been involved in a kind of charade, and I always enjoy a good joke. I mean: I went to the Arena, I poked my nose everywhere, I chatted with the spectators, I bet my money and lost it pitifully, I managed not to jump at the throat of the old hag sitting there (I had to count to 10000)... eventually, I spoke to the guy in charge there, you know. He was so helpful. Really kindly, he offered me to join the Arena, since I was obviously unable to keep myself well fed, and in the evident need of some money gain. He also boasted the role that the Arena could have in giving me a badly needed renown, which I evidently lack. I was so impressed by the amazing opportunity he was giving me, that I said something like: "Terrific! ...and, at the end, am I allowed to climb the walls and feist over the onlookers?", smiling to him in awe. But, at that very moment, he became greyer than the Grey Prince and backed away babbling. Five minutes later, a half a dozen of not so willing guards were arresting me. Naturally, I let them to do: as I said before, I always appreciate a good joke. (To put the event in a correct perspective, I must say that Nehmain tries her angelical smiles at the mirror, to allow only a minimal part of her fangs to appear, so nobody could feel threatened). A final note by me, before BadbCatha hits the "Enter" key: I want to thank heartily the authors of "Blood is Everything": Nomad Dervish, Traven73 and Skyliner390: being a Vampire have never been so funny. And, as a friend of mine says, as ever Chaos rules all, but gently
  9. I would like to rebalance a bit the Cosmic Scales: I agree they look young, but not "TOO" (neither "too", actually). The new shape is fine (even if I prefer the old...), but, please, do not distort your original concept
