3DNPC v3.06.4

Kris Takahashi Releases 2 Comments

This is the fourth of ten updates until the release of version 3.07. I decided to finally recast Gromash due to audio/clipping issues. Patrick Mahoney has graciously stepped in to record the bombastic Orc and can be found in Narzulbur.

There was also a vanilla necromancer that was given one of Gancielo‘s AI packages by accident. I kept telling people I didn’t add a freaking necromancer to the inn, but as it turns out, I did make one walk all the way over there from lands beyond. So spoiler alert, I am the dumbass.

Lastly, here is a short little TES version of Scarborough Fair by Ronja Monto. You might recall it’s her go-to karaoke song so it makes sense she’d elder scroll it up for Alassea to sing.

It was a terrible day, at the start I broke my new notebook cooler, what I really need for gaming :( 
To pass the time I overcame by myself, and decided to draw something.

So, meet my current Dragonborn with her favourite follower Rumarin, the always-joking High Elf bladebinder from Interesting NPCS mod.
She is half Bosmer and half Nord. And a big coward, that’s why she prefers the bow, or stabbing people on the back. She never asked to be a hero, she could spend her entire life uneventful in the Thieves Guild :D 
But there’s one thing what she is really good at: running and screaming from dragons and draugr deathlords.

Man, every day is like Christmas here at the 3DNPC household. I just go to PIXIV, DeviantArt, or Tumblr, and find presents galore. Here is some fan art of Rumarin by the talented wintermass. I like to think the amount of terror shown on our bladebinder’s face could mean a horde of angry Draugr or an empty treasure chest.

Not 15, Not 16…

The mod reached 15,000 endorsements on Nexus the other day, and to celebrate I decided to get another thousand. But seeing as this would never end, to celebrate 16,000 endorsements, I decided to just do nothing.

In all seriousness though, it’s good to know people are discovering the mod for the first time, especially now that a lot of the early hiccups have been cleaned up. As for what having 15K+ endorsements means, who knows. There are plenty of popular things in life that are godawful. On the other hand, if people enjoy it, does it matter? It’s best not to take life so seriously, friend.

In other news:

    • I’ve been thinking about starting a podcast to help fill out the weekly content here. I want to try and bring on guests and things schedule permitting, but to start it’ll just be general video game shit until we get our footing. Hosts may rotate as well since it’s really hard to get the stars and schedules aligned. We’d probably need some cheesy intro music, and a catchy name. 3DNPodC? Too wordy. The iNPC podcast? Too Apple. I don’t have the lawyers to keep it.
    • Pelzknaeul asked me if there were any rules for the forums as far as who can get banned, canned, or body-slammed. There really is just one. Don’t be a dick. And for the most part, everyone has abided by that rule. The forums are pretty comfy.
    • Someone mentioned there was no RSS feed or subscription thingy on the new site. I tried adding an option via the WordPress Jetpack plugin, but it just added a “Notify me by e-mail of any new posts” at the bottom. Not sure if that’s the same thing. If anyone knows what plug-in I should be using, let me know.

Lastly, in addition to 16K endorsements, we’ve also surpassed 2,000,000 views for the blog recently, which is pretty amazing seeing as there’s like 12 of us here. Of course, most people are anonymous folks who come for the wiki, which Sheryl and Inara continue to work on. It’s really the backbone of this site, and without everyone’s help we’d have a bad case of scoliosis, so thanks.
