Gaming

Ooh, I like that third screenshot where you can see right inside the ...erm... thingy.
Very dramatic with the big creature looming over it.

"RAAN"

Oh, and I didn't "Fus" the goat before. It was only a chicken.
If you do it to the goat then all the guards immediately attack you. Clearly that's a more "valuable animal."
I've been experimenting by shouting at various things to see what I can get away with. Perhaps I should just keep quiet for a bit now.
"Yes," says everyone!

I have read that if you shout in populated places then a courier eventually sneaks you a secret message telling you where to find another word but that hasn't happened to me yet. All I get is startled guards telling me to "Stop shouting. People are getting scared."

So what does Raan do?

Apparently it lets you command nearby animals to fight for you.

So maybe if I "disturb" another chicken and a guard starts to get aggressive with me then I should shout "Raan" to get the chicken to attack the guard.
That would be an ironic sight.
It probably won't work like that (I suspect chickens are cowards like my horse, it always runs away from fights) but I may try it out if I ever get tired of putting dead orcs in chairs.

Try it on the goat, then

I shouted at the chickens but they just ran away.
But the goat.... Let's see.

RAAN!



Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!
Me and the goat will take on the world!
Come on!





Sadly he takes one hit and he's dead but it was fun while it lasted.

aw poor goat. did the guards charge themselves for killing it?

and is that blood spatter on your screenshot?

They'll probably claim their police brutality is just self defence.
And in this case they'd be right.

And yes, that is my blood. They got in a few hits while I was posing for the best angle. I didn't really last much longer than the goat.
Let's add Guards to that list of things that can easily kill me.

I thought it might be from the poor goat! Poor you, then! :p

I've mostly had fun decorating my base the last few days (and no, I haven't worked on the monthly challenge - I had to move my tablet out of the way as both me and Gandalf keeps pressing buttons on it by accident and it's not a good thing when gaming...)


My maintenance room where I'd like to get some stuff up on the walls and some bits and bobs littering that empty shelf...


My Research room... There weren't as many skeletal remains to play with as I'd like and boy those eggs a huge, but the good thing is it all fits in one room (though I was prepared to build another)


And then there's the nice canteen (aquarium right to the viewer's right). The stool is so I can reach the top shelf


And my bedroom.

Dang I forgot my GARDEN. You have to see all the poop! (well the result of the poop)

Right, here's the garden. I have an underwater (outside) garden too, though.


And for the heck of it, here's my "resting area" on my sub. I rather like those red sofas. (they're of the "build your own" kind, with 1, 2 or 3 seats, plus a rounded corner seat.

Everything isn't thanks to mods, but there's something in every room... (the red sofas, some of the toys and items, pretty much all large green plants...)
