…and from the Daggerfall Covenant

This is Delirium-who-was-Delight, my cute-as-a-button Orcish Nightblade. She’s the Shirley Temple (my you rest in peace) of Orsinium, right up until she draws a knife across your throat. Or, in the case of her current weaponry, sinks one or both of her double hand-axes into your skull. I got her to level 4 in this […]

Wandering around Khenarthi’s Roost

After escaping Coldharbour—Molag Bal’s section of Oblivion—the Aldmeri Dominion faction line drops you on the island of Khenarthi’s Roost. After some adventures with storm-summoning Sea Elf pirates and the de rigeur ancient jungle temples stocked with undead, we would head off for the port town of Mistral…

Ghostly readers

So I totally appreciate the attention to detail in the graphics, and love the different animations that happen for other characters when they are looking at a map, reading a book or their journal, or rooting around in their inventory. It’s just a very nice touch, you know? So for the starting bit in Coldharbour, […]

ESO NDA lifted! Meet Joan Dark Rosenkreutz

So I got an invite to the last ESO beta weekend, and we had a grand time playing. I made a character in each of the three Alliances, but only really had a chance to play in the Aldmeri Dominion and the Daggerfall Covenant. The Ebonheart Pact will have to wait til the next beta. […]

Looking fierce in a Dragon Priest mask

Rahgot, to be specific, from Forelhost. Got his Dragon Priest Staff too, yay Wall of Fire!

[…]

Hoarding in Forelhost

Who knew the Dragon Cultists were so OCD? Though actually the best hoarding for the linen wraps was the closet with an Expert-lock door that, when opened, allowed a dozen linen wraps to immediately slide forward and out onto the opener.

Sporting some fine Ancient Nord Armor

Full set (armor, gauntlets, boots) looted from the Dragon Cultist ghosts in Forelhost. I also collected their helmets, though here I am already wearing the Ancient Helmet of the Unburned, from Labyrinthian.

Draugr under the bed!

Fears of exactly this is why, as a child, I wanted the lights left on at night. In Forelhost, hunting Dragon Cultists.

Vampire shoe fettishist

I found the source of power in Shriekwind Bastion: footwear.

Red pepper and goat cheese tart

That’s goat cheese mixed with a egg and layered at the bottom of the crust after it’ been placed in the tart pan. Then a layer of fresh basil leaves on top of the chèvre. Then many layers of red pepper rings (about 3 peppers’ worth) with some additional crumbled goat cheese interspersed for variety. […]
