Alarrah Playthrough

And Now, in Today’s Episode of Jeez Skyrim is Pretty

Twitter thread from 5/16/2021, in which I share several screenshots.

And now, in today’s episode of Jeez Skyrim is Pretty:

I think this was the stables near Windhelm, an abortive discovery given that that part of my adventures got wiped out by character death? I liked the moon behind the stable and the placement of the horse in the view, though.

Skyrim has multiple moons and this shot let me see two of them at once! And also, Lydia! Hi, Lydia!

Another sunset shot, centered on this fort (I still don’t know what it’s called) west of Whiterun.

An Alarrah shot! This is Alarrah in her newly furnished home in Whiterun, near the cooking pit in the kitchen in front. Also after trying on the clothes I discovered in the dresser once I got the bedroom actually furnished up. It’s weird to see her not in armor!

Alarrah in armor, on the ramparts of Dragonsreach. Wanted this shot to get an idea of what she looks like now that I’ve started finding elven armor. If I get the helmet she’s going to look like she stepped out of Lord of the Rings! Which must be deliberate design, I feel.
