Here are my screenshots for the playthrough for the Redguard Kendeshel! I cannot paginate these, so apologies for the length of this album list.
Several of these screenshot galleries contain significant spoilers for the mods I’m running in this playthrough: Legacy of the Dragonborn, Project AHO, Moon and Star, and Wyrmstooth.
And a couple of the galleries are explicitly password-locked. Use the following passwords for these specific galleries:
Session 10: haunting
Sessions 22-23: moonandstar
Remote Control Draugr
In any other Skyrim session, this would be me coming up behind a draugr about to kill it. In this session, though, this was a third person view of my consciousness actually piloting the draugr. Which was weird .
Something I Probably Don't Want to Know More About
It would probably not be diplomatic of me to demand to know whose mind Alberthor broke the last time he did this, I guess? Also: look, old dude, I've seen some shit . You think riding around inside a draugr is gonna... well, okay, in fairness, that was pretty fucking weird, it's true.
Another Thing I Probably Don't Want to Know About
Let's not ask whether what was left of that draugr's consciousness was hanging out in my body while I was gone, nope.
Familiar Puzzle Symbol
There were a lot of these all throughout the draugr portion of this dungeon, unsurprisingly.
A Clue!
This was a clue for one of the better puzzles I had to solve to get through the barrow.
As Dark Tunnels Go, Not Too Ominous...?
General scenery shot as we proceed through the barrow.
Another Puzzle Symbol
Kendeshel probably feels pretty friendly towards Whales and Hawks and such at this point, really.
Icy Cavern
Another general scenery shot, signaling another portion of the barrow we needed to get to. I think this was the part that left to the refectory?
Eyegouger
First of the two items I found on the Draugr Kitchen Overlord.
Dragonslayer
The Dragonborn calls bullshit on the likelihood of this thing having actually ever killed any dragons. Her player, however, goes LOL.
Draugr Kitchen Overlord
And okay yeah, a draugr with a chef's hat on also made me LOL. 😉
OHNOEZ THE FLAME OF THE WEST IS DEAD
Only after my group took out this mage did I realize what his name was. Which should be instantly recognizable to Tolkien fans!
Out of Curiosity, Have You Tried This Idea...?
Or were you waiting for the next group of adventurers to come along and do it for you? Is there some sort of trap involved on that plate that I ought to know about, hmm ?
Another Clue!
The clue does seem to agree with the adventurer, though!
Water Wheel
Was this a remnant of when the barrow was actually a more lively place? Maybe? I liked it, though! It was an interesting visual touch.
Another Claw for My Collection
Well, okay, the museum's collection technically speaking. But as the museum is named after ME, I still call dibs.
Another Open Air Cavern
This looks a lot like the shot I took with Finds-The-Way in Karthspire, doesn't it? Only this is while running part of the overall dungeon for Wyrmstooth's main plot. I figure it had to be very cold in that cave, with that big an opening to the sky.
More General Dungeon Scenery
Not too far past that water wheel, I think? We were getting to the point of needing to get through more puzzle doors here, I think. And getting past that dragon priest.
Another Friendly Adventurer
Good luck! Try not to die!
Elmera 1
Elmera apparently got tired of helping the wounded in Stonehollow, and caught up with us here. And I think here was where I noticed that her outfit seems to be a mix of mage robes and standard elven armor. I kinda like it? Particularly how the top of it looks like standard elven armor, only it's purple.
Wait DOES THIS MEAN YOU HAVE A LEVITATION SPELL?
I probably shouldn't have been told that given that I'm an Imperial Legate and all. But I'll disavow any knowledge of your actions for the low, low price of teaching this spell to me .
Ah, the Inevitable Puzzle Door
Here's where I get to use that Rusted Claw!
Ooh, a Tasty New Shout
Now I need to find the other two words of this, and see where I can try this out. 😀
Rather Grisly Quest Bait, Wut?
This said "quest object" to me as soon as I saw it. And I was a little reluctant to pick it up, because eew, bones? But as I am the player character here, of course I picked up the quest object! So now I have to find the quest for it just so's I can actually put it DOWN.
Alberthor Also Catches Up
Alberthor pulls a Tolfdir and finally realizes maybe he ought to be tagging along with this party?
But the Man Does Have Bad Knees, Soooo...
It doesn't take long, however, for Alberthor to decide maybe he should take over a Falmer to hang out with us instead. That Falmer was dead when you nabbed it, right, Alberthor? Right ?
Dimfrost 1
First view of Dimfrost, which, let's be honest here, is basically Rebranded Blackreach.
Dimfrost 2
And after running Lucien a lot, I'm beginning to see a running tradition here of custom NPCs of course having commentary about how and why the Dwemer disappeared.
Meanwhile, New Mineral, Neat
Another find for my hoard--er, uh, the displays at the museum!
Hey, I Know What This Is
Because of course Rebranded Blackreach also has crimson nirnroot. I was torn between "really?" and "ooh, neat, I'll get a head start on gathering that", here.
Dimfrost 3
One thing Dimfrost has that standard Blackreach in Skyrim doesn't: lava!
Combat in Dimfrost
Having a big team with me meant several of us got into fights with Falmer without my even having to get involved.
Alberthor Has His Limits
Because he can apparently take a remote controlled Falmer only so far?
Thanks? I Think?
I'd be more reassured about this if you weren't talking to me via a Falmer, pal.
Another LOL from Elmera
Heh, Elmera seems slightly unhinged (though only slightly by Batshit Crazy Skyrim Mage standards). On the other hand, this line of hers made me LOL.
Vulthurkrah, I Presume?
FINALLY made it to the dragon!
You Have a Very Strange Definition of 'Challenge'
If you've heard about the Dovahkiin you've also heard I don't back down from big scaly bastards who think they can roar at me and live. Ready to engage? Because I sure am!
THAT's What You Were Challenging Us About...?
On behalf of my entire party, we decline . And before you get too far with your boasting, FYI, Potema thought she could turn me into an undead servant, too. This is not going to go any better for you than it did for her.
Or, I'm Just Spitballing Here, But...
... you could disintegrate into a pile of smoldering bones, while I slurp up your soul. Care to make a wager on which of us turns out to be right?
I'd Ask What Alduin Thinks of This, But...
... I don't actually care. And it's a moot point anyway, because after I kick your ass, I'm going to go kick his .
Yes Yes Let's Just Get to the Part Where We Fight, Okay?
Seriously, Vults, even after all the souls of your brethren I've eaten, not a single one of you has actually given me the slightest idea of your language. So I have no idea what you're on about.
You Say Motmahus Like I Should Know What You're Talking About
For the record, my Words of Power are KEN DESH EL. In the tongues of Tamriel, they mean "the Dovahkiin who's about to make you extinct."
Okay Fine You Can Apparently Be Poetic, Still Bored, Let's Fight
(Seriously though I did like that last phrase there, well done there, mod creator!)
Why is This a Bad Thing...?
Dude, you knew I'm an Imperial Legate, right? Shit, i could have brought you a legion over here. (Note to self: pester Rikke about why I wasn't consulted on this? Maybe I should have told Castle Dour I was coming over here?) OH I GET IT you're afraid the dragon will take them out...? Pfpbpt. Lurius. Dude. I got this. Trust me.
See, Lurius? Told You I've Got This
And no casualties among the legion!
This Looks Tasty
But not quite tasty enough for me to bail on wielding the Daggers of Riften. 😀
Victorious Dovahkiin
Obligatory selfie in front of what's left of Vulthurkrah!
Ja'Shavi-Dar 1
Met this Khajiit after exploring the town a little, post-dragon-fight. Which was helpful, because I could sell him stuff! Though I'd actually thrown most of my loot back into my stash at the museum, I still had at least some stuff on me to sell.
Ja'Shavi-Dar 1
Another look at the Khajiit merchant, this time without dialogue. I like that scar on his face, he looks like he's had a colorful history!
Shomara
Ja'Shavi-Dar's wife, who I also stopped to chat with, briefly.
Shouting Draugr
Even though I was baffled and not entirely thrilled about running into half a dozen draugr on the road back to Wyrmstooth's docks, I kept this shot just because I kinda liked the Shouting draugr right behind my potion UI, there!
