I love seeing the painted cow.

So do the giants, but in a different way.
I worked out why Brelyna didn't back me up very well before. Her super fireball staff needed charging up! So I sorted that out for her and we took on that dragon and won by approaching from a different angle.
I didn't get the soul though. No dragon skelly.
Also while I was lining up this camera shot, Brelyna suddenly fired up her magic and started charging at me!

Thankfully she was aiming at that sabre cat that is now dead in the foreground. Phew.
And while walking back I saw a Vigilant Of Stendarr in deeep trouble.
I usually help them when they're chasing vampires but not this time.

But I will loot your body later.

These mammoths are too easily spooked.
(EDIT: That WASN'T the Vigilant in the pic. That was one of the vampires! They had killed the Vigilants and stripped the bodies, which is why I was initially confused. And all that loot is mine now.)
As for appearance thingies, my player character is pretty much a default Breton female. That was the face that stuck out for me in the creation menu and I felt like I could come up with a story and background just from that appearance, so I went with that one. I do currently have a hair mod, so that particular style isn't available in the base game. I only downloaded those a few weeks back for a certain quest where you have to attend a party. I thought that would be a good time to change to go with the posh clothes.

(One of the hair mods is over 1GB with over 900 styles! So I definitely didn't get that one, but there was a cut down version that I found that just added a handful of extras.)
I have been trying to gradually age my character a bit as I play along (I really loved the way they did that in the game Fable so I keep trying to add a little scar or changing the complexion from time to time.)
I do have some NPC appearance mods though, particularly the "Bijin" ones. Some of them are a bit too glam but they're not weird manga creatures and if you pick and choose which of them to install then it adds a bit of variety without completely breaking the original art style.
