3DNPC v3.07

2013-03-31_00011

This is the release of 3.07, which will coincide with a Nexus release later tonight. Jade is now finished, and I laid some groundwork for future stuff. Unfortunately the two new miscellaneous quests did not make the cut, but they’ll probably be included in the coming weeks.

I don’t have a recent picture so here is a random screenshot of Gnives. Now to dip my head in ice because it is hot as balls out here.

Fan Patch – Skjel Marriage by Kris Takahashi, Will Handford and Nonoodles

Skjel_OP

Do you like bones? Well, if you like them so much, why don’t you marry them? Because now you can.

Skjel Marriage Patch

This is a marriage patch I wrote for Skjel the Gray that was voiced by Will Handford then modded and brought to life by nonoodles. It’s mostly an example of how the user collaboration or fan patch section works – in this instance, the user-fan being me, creating content that is outside of canon.

Apropos of that, I never liked the word “fan.” It kind of has a negative implication, when that isn’t how I feel about the people who contribute all the amazing art, commentary, screenshots, stories, and scripts. If anything, I am a fan of you. You are the reason I do this.

Still, calling people “users” makes everyone sound like drug addicts, which I’m sure only applies to half of you. There has to be a better word to describe everyone – the contributors, the actors, the modders, the readers, the compatriots, my friends.

Yet no matter what we call ourselves, my hope is that by making it a collaborative effort the characters will continue to grow long after my bones are buried. So pick up a pen (and then throw it away because seriously typing with a pen is pretty inefficient) and write something and we’ll do our best to bring it to life.

3DNPC v3.06.9

This is the ninth of ten updates before the release of 3.07. With only a week left before the Nexus release, I’m not sure if the miscellaneous witch quest will make it but we’ll see.

I added another NPC in the meantime. Arelthor (Patrick Mahoney) is a character I might  use in a future Thalmor related quest after The Aldmeri Prisoner is finished. Similar to the Radiant Dark, I like introducing NPCs in passing and then having them play a part in later endeavors.
