Trailers and Teasers – Skjel the Gray

Here is William Handford with the revamped Skjel the Gray. I wanted to give this NPC a more gravelly, monster voice like the vanilla skeletons, but still keep that jester-ish quality, and William’s rendition hit all the right buttons.

This is one of those NPCs that requires playing Skyrim and talking to vanilla NPCs, so I may have to do more of that to really flesh him out, so to speak. I tried to sprinkle a little more of that into his base dialogue as well – he previously used more idioms than Skyrim-speak – an example of which is in the following clip:

As I’ve been living in Riften on my recent test run, Skjel now has more idles pertaining to that city, but I eventually need to head out to other places and really listen to the chatter. Just another thing added to the list of shit to do.

Trailers and Teasers – Yushari

Here is Jennifer Hedwig with Yushari, who was included in yesterday’s update. Seeing as how this role took eons to cast, and doing a female Khajiit voice with the gravel is no easy feat, I have to say she did a tremendous job.

Now to some, a Khajiit inside the city walls may seem like a furry big cat-tastrophe, but this is Riften, where purrhaps a little coin always greases the wheels, and Yushari is a longtime resident who’s paid the gate fee. Besides, it’s not as if followers, Dragonborns, and the like can’t scratch and claw their way past the front door. So pawnder that over your next meeting at nitpickers anonymous. And, of course, if you don’t find the dialogue amewsing, you can always tabby out.

Trailers and Teasers – Dar’rakki

Whoops, I’ve neglected to post here in a few days, and I wasn’t even chained to a radiator this time. Anyhow, as I promised previously, here is FedoraandRapier with another cat. I will have another cat for you tomorrow. So many cats. It’s a cat-o-rama.

If you’ve finished the 7000 steps quest, here is some bonus footage for Dar’rakki. Just a little scene to his backstory. Some lines may be silent in tomorrow’s update, I forgot to include some lines in the script so that’s my bad.
