It’s been well over three years since I initially recorded Tears of the Hist for Fjona/Interesting NPCs, and let’s just say that after three years I feel like my voice has improved. A lot.
Or maybe it just got lower. I dunno
Anyway, here it is for your listening pleasure or torture, depending on how much you like/dislike the sound of a strangled cat wailing mournfully into the microphone
Greywater Grotto is probably the most linear, dead end dungeon in all of Skyrim. Which is fine if it had a satisfying payoff, but there isn’t much to be seen or told here. It’s just cold and empty.
It does have excellent acoustics though.
Not every idea works out in practice. Sometimes the idea is simply awful, other times impractical, and occasionally impossible. A lot of times you think the rubber is about to meet the road when the Creation Kit comes along and slashes your tires.
Fjona’s haunting melody was one of those ideas that worked from the start, and for that I’m grateful. Along with Alice’s singing and acting and Arisen1’s original music, we somehow managed to turn an empty cave into a lonely one.
