About this image

I started over. I did save my game from bugs but decided I'd rather start over anyways. Plus I was looking back at OLD screenshots and remember Julien being different then compared to how he is now. I don't really like how he's come along, when I started him I imagined him to be 32 years old and lived a quiet life away from his life of nobility in a small church devoting his time to healing and spreading the word of Mara's Benevolence. He had his way with restoration magic and preferred to avoid battle but could fight back if needed.

Somehow while I was playing he just managed to get younger, became more of a somewhat spineless wimp. I don't really want that, I think he just kinda developed like that to contrast with his travel companion Stenvar. I guess this time without him I noticed how different things became. Also his main hairstyle makes him look really young too, so I might not use it as much anymore.

So now he's a simple pious man. He still has his fears but he's more mature and can overcome them easily. And much to his disliking he is in fact a Dovahkiin. A heavy title to hold but he will accept it if it means protecting the world.

    I said something along these lines in your other image, but I'm so impressed with his 'reboot.' There's nothing wrong with changing a character up, especially if you're just bringing them back in line with your original vision. His physical differences are really impressive. You can see the change in his face. He's learned some things over the years, and looks more confident than ever, but still has the wisdom to stay true to his path. He looks like someone you'd want by your side in a battle, instead of someone you'd have to protect. Great work

      I hope I don't change him again, I like him this way, but I get bore sometimes. Thus the different hair cuts and warpaint and armor style. And I wanted his face to look more mature and like he's had some experiences in his life. He'll be no damsel in distress anymore and an actual asset on the field of combat for sure!

    Grats on the 400th and I'll be honest I enjoyed Julien more when he was a little tougher so yay to the reboot.

      Thanks, I'd realize I had gone too far with the pansy thing he could use some badassness. He's got to compete with Stenvar's badassness now.

      In the long run you have to do what keeps the character fresh and interesting for you

    I applaud your courage to step up and return to your original vision.
    I just let my character rot and have some fun with a new character until the character I left behind feels interesting again.

    I'm interested in seeing how this original version of Julien compares, I'm sure we'll love him just the same. :-)

      Haha not so much courage as fed up with messing up my beloved character
      I was starting to do that with Julien, letting him rot but forcing myself to play him from time to time. I'm interested in his tale again with this little reboot though.

    Welcome to my every 2 month resolution, restarting Alvhilde and other characters
    I understand thinking they are not feeling right... I damn feel this way when she progresses too much on the main storyline, I decided to do it because I thought it would help for the Dragonborn DLC quests... if only there was a time travel shout
    Congratulations on 400 shots, my friend!

      Lol I'll maintain him this time, I don't want to restart for a while and I don't want to accidently change him again. Ugh the main story >_> I've gotta work on that again. I think if I start posting pics of it again I'll just start where I left off forever ago

      Thanks buddy.

    I really liked Julien when he was shy. I am intrigued to see what he will be like in the future! In this shot he looks.. well different that the 'old' Julien. More mature and capable of taking care of himself in the middle of battle. Not that he wasn't before. But that was the point, right? I cannot imagine Julien shouting people to death, though. I'll just stop rambling now.
    Btw, congrats on your 400th image!

      Yeah I feel a little bad and selfish that I want to change him. I think everyone is used to how he was but not really what I intended for him. He is my character though so I suppose I should play him how I want to
      And be assured he hates using dragon shouts, Become Ethereal is about the only one he'll use. And that slow time one.

      Well he is is your character! You shouldn't feel selfish that you want to develop him even futher! He is still Julien and I for one am very curious to see what awaits him!
      P.S. The only shots I ever use in my gameplay are Aura Whisper and Clear Skies.

      Oh yeah aura whisper is another favorite of mine. I used to use Clear Skies until I became a lazy cheater and just console commanded fw 81a.

    Wonderful shot and congratulations on your 400th image! I really like this Julien and liked his latter version too, when he was younger and shy. He is very believable character, you made him act and think as a real person, who had his share of uncertainties, fears and doubts. it is perfectly normal and human. You really did a wonderful work on him, both appearance and character. And I liked the fact that Julien is not overjoyed in his role as Dragonborn, it is very hard burden and it is also perfectly understandable.

      400 is a lot, I think it might be time to clear some of them I didn't like so much. I kinda liked him being shy and timid but i just got bored of it and remembered how I wanted him to be in the beginning. He's a priest, he preaches to people all the time so he shouldnt be as shy as he was. And in the old class system of older elder scrolls healers had speechcraft as a major skill. Lol anyways I'm glad you like whatever I do with him. I am fond of his reluctance of being a dragonborn too.

    I really like this Julien (and although I was a fan of the later Julien) I gotta say this one just seems to be deeper. Good move on rewinding.

      This time he will be much deeper, he was starting to feel shallow and trite to me. I like character development and Julien seemed to be at a standstill in that department.

      Lol no more changing on his own! I'm calling the shots now, mwahaha. He wants change? He'll have to sign contracts and do annoying monotonous tasks, it'll be quite an ordeal for him. I like his back story, I want to keep it some what simple. He's no fabled warrior that's for sure.
