elder scrolls

this flashback friday i'm looking back to my days.. years spent in the old elder scrolls games ~

i'm someone who started out in oblivion ~

probably because raven was playing the earlier morrowind game :) ~

i played almost the entirety of the game as a vampire after being bitten in the town of hackdirt by lovecraftian vampires <3 ~

this made the game especially challenging back in the pre twilight years ~

but it also made it my favorite, & i've captured several unlisted youtube videos of my homes & treasures here ~

i particularly loved the shivering isles :D (the sunlight gets me here!) ~

i did eventually play morrowind once i could finally tear raven away from it too ~

i decided to play as a khajiit this time ~

still a vampire of course ~

here's a peek back with raven from years ago ~

& then there was skyrim ~

i'm a breton, a little bit older with a streak of white in my hair ~

this is where i fell in love with building my own homes & keeping horses ~

& it was pure vampiric indulgence as well ~

i eventually went back for a second full playthrough when we got skyrim remastered, this time as a khajiit ~

as a vampire khajiit i liked to adopt orphans & let them live in my many homes ~

my kitty, boopy, who was always with me for games, really loved skyrim too <3 ~

we also shared some of the old elder scrolls games up at our youtube game gallery videos here on my youtube channel ~

so as a longtime rpg player i have an extensive videogame screenshot album with nostalgic oldtime gaming musical score that i maintain here for anyone interested, sound up! & if you like this be sure to click on videogames in the category list in the sidebar for so much more, & check back tomorrow!! :D
