      A shocked Thalmor is the best kind of Thalmor!

      Thank you, Patrick!

    After that trip through that weather and storms the last thing you need is a couple of Thalmor to ambush you while relaxing in the Inn, very nice set

      Thank you kindly and sorry for the belated reply!

      I upload so many sets I can barely manage to give thanks to all the comments. Very nice to hear you enjoyed this small chapter though even if it was all about rain, storms and Thalmor ambushes!

      Story, images and music is somewhat a trinity to me when I make my sets. I try to find a common bound between them all, so this is much appreciated, Thorin!

      Thank you!

    Superb set Rick! Your work was always good but I see you've gotten even better while I've been away!

      Many thanks for that, Derek!

      It's good to hear you see some improvement too. I've taken thousands of screenshots by now, so I would've hated it if I had not emerged at all!

    I will never ever get tired of your rain shots, what textures are you using for your rain Rick? Seriously, they're absolutely lovely! Really enjoyed the thalmor getting struck by lighting there as well.

    Loved how well you portrayed the ambush here as well, as usual your writing is impeccable!

      Many thanks, Josh!

      I'm glad the rain gets you captivated, because rain shots are very dear to me as you probably already know. To answer what textures I'm using, is a bit more difficult though, since I've had them for a long time, but I believe it's the rain from the mod Little things (linked below in my answer to Ben - Karoshi81). That's a mod I've been using for a long long time, even back in Vanilla, and I can't recall I've changed my rain since then. I do however also change the rain size in the ENB files...

      Thanks also for encouraging the writing! It's always good to hear from someone speaking fluently English - since I'm not!

    Excel Rose is performing "November Rain" ^^
    Although I dont like the ENB rain very much, here it looks very good!
    The magic effects do look awesome as well ; the bloody face at the end...

      Excel Rose!

      That's a pretty good one, Ben!

      More like April Downpour though and I'm glad you noticed the rain, because that's a must to me - I can't use ENB's with to soft looking or all washed out rain. I need a good heavy rain to keep the atmosphere both when playing the game and showing some shots.

      The effects are mostly made of a combination of the mods Colorful Magic and Little Things (electrify) and the blood comes from Bloody Facials Reblooded.

      Thanks a lot, Will!

      This was the last set I did with Vividian ENB and then I followed up with a few Rudy ENB for NLA (which will follow) until I get to my current setup - Rudy ENB for Vanilla. I have so many characters, so I keep the texts rather small and let the images guide the imagination of the viewer instead.
