Coffee with an old Khajiit

[Avrie]

Goooooood morning Tamriel!

Ah'vrie wishes you well. It is Loredas the 5th of Rain's Hand, and wage slaves rejoice, the weekend has arrived. It is a crisp predawn here on warm sands, and past time for this one to tend the inn. Excuse please while the ash pits are emptied, the vents cleaned, and the fires rebuilt. This can get a bit dusty yes it can. You may want to cover your tankards for a bit. Khajiit do not offer free refills... There, much better no? Ah'vrie always likes to start the weekend off with happy fires, and a happy fire needs to breathe. Now to compost the ash, scrub the kettles, see what's ripe in the garden, but first; let's put some fresh water to the flame...

Our brew of the day is Capetown Lungo, and the biscuits are Fudge brownie cookies. Checking the hot sheets we have 58 new mods from the usual suspects. Plenty of jiggles, dangles, patches and pointy sticks. Let's see what catches an old cat's eye over a fresh cuppa or two. Excuse please... Maybe three


BiggestBones released three first mods today. Welcome

Interesting... two armor mesh tweaks, followed by the release of a new mashup of both armors. Why not. Have a cookie.

Groe released Immortal Blood Movarth
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/146789
"Changes Movarth's stats and abilities to match his character as described in the in-game book "Immortal Blood."" The old cat can totally get behind Movarth being a brawler based on the lore, but stealing the gloves of the pugilist from Gian the fist I'm not sure about. If Movarth is supposed to be that good, and he's got the buffs of a master Vampire he doesn't need the gloves. Nice idea though, Thanks.

WhereDeadAngelsLie released DESIRE - Divine Elegance Store - Immersive Retail
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/146753
adds a shop owner, and anti shoplifting guards. For Immersion of course LOL, Thanks

freshbreadsticks is still editing dirt textures FBS DirtPath01
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/146769
Well they're consistent. Looks good, thanks

Nyymm released Numinous Nord Ruins - Complex Parallax... retex
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/146766
"Textures with parallax for the Nordic Dungeons and Ruins, both interiors and exteriors. Hand crafted with an emphasis on attention to detail and aesthetics." Very subtle parallax, quite nicely done. Worth a look and a cookie. Thanks

We'll finish up with yet another death replacer concept this one by aljoxo

Stages of Suffering - An SKSE Death Alternative
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... ods/146568
"Stages of Suffering is an immersive SKSE-based mod that redefines death in Skyrim by introducing a progressive injury system. Instead of dying and reloading, your character sustains wounds of increasing severity each time they fall in battle."

You'll want to read the entire page and the spoilered injuries section. The brief "etherial status" granting you time to run away, but fully healing your enemies... This would need to be tested in game. The concept of making the resulting'injury' random, but acting like locational damage is a bit confusing... or random, or randomly confusing.

This would work better with true locational damage, but that's always been buggy in Skyrim. Still you get decapitated with a battle axe which results in 25% slower magic regen? Yes, makes total sense, very balanced. LOL. Your game your way

And that will do for today. The ale casks are fresh, the new batch of mead is ready, and we're serving serving thinly sliced marinated venison medallions on a bed of diced roast potatoes with onions, served with a poached egg on top for the early meal. This one will see what's fresh at the markets before choosing the late meal, but as always there will be a hearty stew simmering for those that need to ward the chill.

The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed, and the floors are swept and mopped. Have a seat by the fires and warm your bones. We-B-Open!
