Character Profile – Bergrisar

2013-04-26_00011Some think Berg is Nord. But Berg is Jotun, Giant. Just puny type.

Name for Giant come from Norse mythology. Berg know this because he has wikipedia. Of course, Berg name come from same place. Bergrisar, mountain giant. This Berg know because mod author is s’nua amott, lazy cunt.

When Berg milk mohroktha, mammoth, he wonder why author cannot give Berg own name like others. He have to steal it. Berg think his word for woman come from German word because author more lazy. So to author, Giant is part Nazi. It make no sense, just like Berg’s metal club. If mod author had woman, Berg would beat him into cheese then make him cuckold. Then he make female grunt like fat cow. Berg only need chance.

But Berg know no fraulen in Mundus fat enough to sleep with mod author, so point is vrokmot, moot.

Some think Berg was first choice. But he not. Berg only exist because big Jotun no talk. So author make puny Jotun and give him round ear. Now author know how make Giant talk, but does he give Berg new ear? Does he give Berg wood club? No, he keep Berg puny because he ikja rakki, bitch.

Forgive Berg, he not always complain so much. He blame mead sauce made by cranky Nord, which not Berg’s people. Real Nord hurt neck try to kiss own face. Berg not so vain. He knows he born puny. But he knows he fight big. Jotun see this and someday teach him make cheese. Someday Berg even make chief, and own many wives. This Berg’s biggest pride. Then he give all other Jotun metal club and see how they like.

But Berg digress. He finish by say jakranu, word of thanks. He think blog is orend klorun, sucks.

Pictures and Profile Pages

2012-12-01_00001bAs the wiki slowly begins to take form, one of the things I want to give the masses out there the opportunity to do is provide screenshots for the various characters. What’s there now is basically whatever photo myself, Blauwvis, or Sifka can take while creating tables and blurbs, but ideally we want pictures that are pretty to look at or are symbolic of the quest.

The original photo I used for The Radiant Dark was shitty beyond belief, so I decided to put on my photographer’s hat and try and get some action shots. This one is probably the best of the bunch, with the whole juxtaposition of light and dark.

If you’d like to submit a photo for a character page, I will be more than happy to use it provided it is awesome. Ideally I prefer vanilla settings, as I’m boring like that, but I’m not married to any specific lighting/texture setup.

In other news, I think I will start the weekly updates next week, depending on how much content I get from the voice actors. This will allow bug fixes to get out promptly as well. The Blood of Kings Questline has a particularly nasty one right after the climax which I want to take care of, but the questline will probably remain in Alpha/Beta until I’m sure there are no others.

Again, we need testers, as right now it is just me and Blauwvis trying to squish bugs on our own, so anyone who is interested shoot me an email at kristakahashi@gmail.com. Until we can get this thing fully polished, I’ll have to leave the WIP/Beta label on the box.

3DNPC v2.42

2013-04-16_00037

Here are the release notes for version 2.42 beta. Again, special thanks to the awesome Blauwvis for testing, as well as all the others on the forums who volunteered to try out the Alpha/Beta quests and report bugs for the previous version. She also did tremendous work on the wiki, and now Sifka has been working like a madman on the same. And of course, the voice actors have always been an indispensable part of the team. We’re still a long way from getting this thing fully operational, but being able to spread out the work helps immensely.

With this update, you’ll notice the sound folder is in the form of loose files. Next version, I might go one step further and only put the scripts in the BSA, as I didn’t realize the meshes/textures were so large. However, ideally we want to reduce clutter so uninstalling is simple.
