Looks really cool!
Thank you very much and sorry for the late reply.
At first I had some difficulty thinking of not revealing their faces, currently I tend, when I play, to do it less. Given that they are an operational body in any case in the service of the empire, this mysterious character I think is more acceptable, although at least the commander often tends to reveal her face or to present herself with the armor of the penitus oculatus to make her more socially acceptable, this both with her superiors and with people with whom she has diplomatic relations.
The sect asks its members to renounce individuality, a renunciation that the human being is not always completely willing to do, there is also that conflictual aspect that I think is interesting because behind the masks there is no monolithic group but individuals with their conflicts and psychologies.
The issue of the faction's mysterious nature is still preserved because the Shadow Legion, however, remains behind the scenes at least at the beginning of the game, as the progressive and political wing of the Mythic Dawn.
This is certainly the most ambitious campaign that has been played with skyrim so far, and it also requires the possibility of following rather varied narrative lines but simultaneously playing with more characters, taking advantage of the fact that you can change your physical appearance and gender (but not the race , although the problem is circumventable), without causing repercussions on the hero's characteristics.
Music is certainly a very important aspect and plays a big role in creating the right atmosphere, so I'm happy to have found a suitable song.
Thanks again for the comment and your Italian is good.
Cool set, Fabrizio. Those last images are intriguing but I'm a little confused as to what's going on. Is this a mystery for the next episode or would you care to enlighten me? :)
In this mission, after having done a reconnaissance to Helgen to investigate the mysterious dragon that ruined the elimination of Ulfric (captured by them), the group discovers that in Riverwood some thieves have robbed the merchant of a strange artifact, a claw of dragon. The group, however, misses the main game road, and goes into a nearby tomb, once part of the vast complex on the mountain. Here they discover that the bandits are actually a heretical sect of the ancient monoteistic Alessian Order, who have committed a terrible mass suicide. The event seems like a ritual that has not only awakened the dead, but perhaps it is part of a series of rituals linked to the mysterious black dragon.
Thank you very much for the comment and interest.
Thanks for taking the time ^-^
I seem to have finally found an outfit suitable for this faction, and the idea of the hoods, but above all the masks, makes them threatening and depersonalizes their character giving that shady dimension that characterizes their ambiguity. Because if on the one hand they serve the Penitus Oculatus, on the other they work secretly to overthrow the empire and proclaim a republic. Besides, this is the progressive wing of the Mythic Dawn.
In their first mission they explore a tomb near Riverwood discovering that it is occupied by a degenerate sect of the Alessian order, which committed mass suicide, perhaps in order to summon the dragon Akatosh and reach eternal life; but the cult leader was deceived and ends up contributing to the great Rite to summon Alduin, while their bodies mutate into blocks of ice or stone. I wanted an alternative beginning to the main story and I placed the corpses all around with the console, obtaining what I had imagined to find, that is a mass suicide like some times happened for some millenarian cults. This set was born from there.
I honestly abandoned the idea of making long texts as in the past, it would be nice to explain, the story of this faction which is probably the most developed, but as much as you would read it only you and a few others, but for me the writing time is really heavy and long and now that I have a suitable PC I also like to play, also because now it's quite stable. I should find a new formula. Moreover, the fact is that here, or you put the usual girl with all the erotic winks of the case or simply the set is almost ignored. The only alternative is to make shots of landscapes, but I'm not really good at that and besides my specificity goes in other directions, which are not those of the artistic screeshooting, in which I am really not very skilled.
Thank youvery for your comment, and your support my friend. Really appreciated!
I should add a few things on your post. The music was a nice choice - moving and dramatic. I do enjoy audiomachine and that music can really add to a post. The other main shot you had - one thing I liked was the composition of the 4. For example the first guy on the left is clearly the muscle - a hardened, big, thick, powerful man judging from the broadness of his face, the bare arms, the brawny build, the brutal eyes - solid, lifeless, cold. The other guy, with the highly arched brows and sardonic look to him seems more the intelligent one - thief, mage, archer maybe. More quick and agile. Likewise the two women seem to be a similar pairing - one a larger more solid warrior type and the main one who gets the most face time being the smarter more agile one. Just impressions.
Mask sure do depersonalize. I guess that is why I have never liked masks - in game or real life. They hide too much. Removes accountability. Removes recognition.. But fitting I assume based on what you wrote.
Anyhow enjoy the play time. I am doing the same and doing less shots and stories although I certainly post when the mood hits or I take a few shots I like.
