November Debrief


Most Satisfying Finish

Most Exciting Addition

I'm still obsessing on Skyrim and am no closer to finishing. I think I may need an intervention.

I finished zero games in November, added four from the Humble Day of the Devs Bundle, and was gifted Maze Lord by a friend. Thank you, friend :)

Here are some postcards from Tamriel.

i am thinking to begin this game in january after holidays. When i played this game in “other format” were about 250 hours for finish the game.

Thyreos

I’m at 1,444 hours :( I can’t stop exploring and experimenting.

Joe

Love that last screenshot, very nice!

Thyreos

Thanks :) Here’s a straight down shot of the same scene, but people seem to like the angled one better.

Wow, that second screenshot looks close to photorealistic … really, really nice … if there wasn’t so much other great stuff on my backlog I’d probably take a Skyrim vacation, too :)

Thyreos

Thanks Mandrill :) Yeah my backlog is glaring at me from the corner.

Lengray

That last screenshot with the dead ice troll is outstanding!
I feel you about Skyrim. Started playing last July and I’m 300+ hours into my first playthrough.
I’m missing the last 2 achievements (which will happen before the year is over) and when I’m done, I’ll start all over again.

Thyreos

Thanks Lengray :) I haven’t been paying attention to achievements yet. I still have half the main story to complete lol.

I didn’t remember that skyrim looked that good! If only the gameplay wouldn’t be so bland :(

Thyreos

This is heavily modded. Vanilla Skyrim still looks … vanilla. The special edition is better in places, but would still need a lot of work to satisfy me. I honestly don’t know how vanilla plays. I started modding early and never went back.

Arbiter Libera

Hey, look who’s back. :) Looking forward to your Skyrim logs.

Thyreos

Thanks Arbiter :) I haven’t had the energy to chronicle my adventures for weeks now unfortunately. Wanted to at least let people know I’m alive though :)

Trent

Fantastic tabbed slideshow! And great screen grabs. =)

Thyreos

Thank you Trent :)

Forsaken

I loved the format of your posts and screenshots are really pretty :) Do you have a website that shows how to create a slideshow like that? :D

Thyreos

Thanks Lenor :) Akantha figured out the tabbed layout. Click on the paperclip icon on her profile for some templates. Here’s a direct link to the tabbed layout template. They’re not tutorials unfortunately so it might be difficult to figure out if you don’t know any html. If you do know html, this site uses a framework called bootstrap, so if you Google bootstrap you’ll find all kinds of possibilities. I see Akantha hasn’t been on for a while - life is pretty busy right now, but maybe over the holidays I can write some tutorials if it would help the community.

P.S. I was sad to be kicked from Stealth Purists. I’m not very talkative, but I enjoyed seeing what people were playing and talking about. I don’t care about giveaways. I understand your desire to keep it tight-knit and active though, but if you ever reconsider group requirements please keep me in mind :) I’m just … I’ll never be much of a talker. But please understand that I understand :)

Forsaken

Thank you so much for the help :) Sadly I know nothing about html. It took me 30 mins to write the content and about 2 hours to properly code my last post on BLAEO because it took ages to learn how to do some things :P I really loved the slideshow idea, I always take lots of screenshots and I wanted to share them without making them cover the entire feed :P

Oh I really want to thank you so much for your extremely mature reaction to this. Not just for the ex-members but that day was also really bad for me. I think people really thought I enjoyed removing them and some of them took things really personal. I didn’t enjoy it at all and I felt quite upset about the whole thing. The reason I felt the need to do it was because despite my continuous efforts to make people realise that Stealth Purists was not a giveaway group, certain individuals made me feel like it existed just as a way to get free games without contributing to the discussions (I am not saying you are one of them). So I removed everyone who did not make a single post/comment since they joined the group. Recruitment page mentioned that one of the requirements was “willingness to talk” so I thought people already knew what they were in for. Anyway for your wonderful help I will invite you back but I kindly ask you to not be a stranger :D Think of Stealth Purists as BLAEO, but for stealth games only. I don’t require updates or stuff, but 1-2 short replies per month would really make me feel like I am not talking to myself :D

Thyreos

Oh wow thank you for the re-invite, and I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’ll find a way to be active. :)
