You're free to use my screenshots for Skyrim related things. No need to credit me if you don't want to. Better to credit Bethesda with Skyrim's beauty than me. :)

Hey guys! I’m currently in the process of moving back into my house. Right now, all my stuff is in my car, including my desktop. I’ll be doing a lupus walk tomorrow, and then doing my laundry, and then moving stuff around in my room. Then and only then will my desktop be set back up again. And then, Skyrim! And possibly Oblivion (though it seems the confessions blog is deactivated? Oh well).

Happy gaming to all my followers who purchased Diablo III- I’m saving up for my copy!

Question

oblivionconfessions-deactivated asked: if you're ever interested, you could do screenshots for oblivion, and i will use your images/credit you, as the skyrimconfessions blog does. just a thought though, obviously you don't just do this for them, but yeah just a thought :)

I’ll think about it! If I do, you’re free to use any screenshots I produce, same as my Skyrim screenshots.

The future of the blog.

The queue is empty! And I come bearing news.

I’ve got a jobbbbbb

A really awesome job. I’ll be off to upstate New York this summer to work as a ceramics assistant at a camp. Unfortunately, my desktop (and Skyrim) must stay home in Illinois. Therefore, there are going to be at least two months of dead air time on the blog this summer.

Unless…

Unless I take the two months I have before I leave to take a shit ton of screenshots and queue them. I was also thinking about maybe going back to Oblivion and doing some screenshots from that. Not sure. Opinions? Any ideas on how I can keep the blog from going stale while I’m out of town? Does anyone even care if this blog goes silent?

MOD REVIEW: Drachenhaus Hamlet

[Steam Workshop]

Function: adds a small village to the game, right next to the Western Watchtower outside of Whiterun.

Review: Well, it’s very new and still a work in progress, so take everything that follows with a grain of salt. The village consists of three buildings, a tent, and a smithy area, but it still somehow manages to make my game lag worse than in any city. With the village positioned so close to the Western Watchtower and the amount of lag it produces, I can’t imagine anyone managing to kill Mirmulnir with the mod enabled. With a nice player house so centrally located on the map, however, and the promise of side quests and voiced dialogue in the future, I’m optimistic about this mod.

2.5/5

MOD REVIEW: Psychosteve’s DragonPriest Masks

[Skyrim Nexus] [Steam Workshop]

Function: a retexture of all the dragon priest masks.

Review: It’s a simple mod, but I think it makes a pretty big impact, especially if you consistently use the masks. It makes each mask memorable, and easy to distinguish from the others. Overall, they’re nicer looking, and feel more “special,” just what you’d expect from unique armor.

5/5

MOD REVIEW: Whistle
[Steam Workshop]
Function: Calls the last horse you rode to you. If the horse is nearby, it runs to you, and if it isn’t nearby, it teleports behind you and walks up to you. Equips as a shout with no recharge period and does not require a dragon soul to unlock.
Review: Incredibly useful! I don’t know how many times Shadowmere has run off after a dragon or wolf or troll or what have you, and I couldn’t find her later. This shout solves that problem entirely. Definitely, DEFINITELY a must-have for PC users, particularly if you wanted a mod that gives you a “Call Horse” function without also making your noble steed invincible.
5/5
