    To be honest, I've always hated followers. Unless the mechanics or rp of my current character demanded a follower, I always preferred solo adventuring. But this is something I would love to do. Sign me up for Ralis Sedarys or Ahtar (still deciding) using Imperious race overhaul, Aurora standing stone overhaul, and Ordinator. Are there any rules about interaction with the NPC we're recreating? Also, in regards to Ralis, does anyone know what, if any, one handed perks affect pickaxes?

    Oh! Oh! Can I be Serana? I wanna be a pretty princess try out Curse of the Vampire II or possibly EnaiSiaion's new vampire mod. NB illness (flare up of chronic thing) has me very flakey at the moment so I may well keel over and admit defeat about five minutes in... Her skills are apparently sneak, conjuration, one handed and light armour, but she has a couple of perks from other trees - how are we handling that (sorry if it's already explained)? Like, according to UESP, Serana has augmented frost (destro) and magic resist (alteration?) and Eola has a couple from the Resto tree (I would assume we're just going from their major skills, not perked ones? But I could well be wrong). Also, can we use an Alt Start mod to put ourselves in the right place for being that person (e.g. for Nords ASLAL has a 'Erik's Childhood Friend' start, ideal for assuming his identity...)? I would guess that the 'I am a member of Lord Harkon's Court' start (or the corresponding non-vampire DG one) would be a bit too cheaty (lets you skip Dimhollow Crypt), but e.g. starting off in Riften so I could just dash over to Fort DG and get started on twin funtimes?

    @ Gnewna:  Yes you can be Serana!  All of the mods you mention are absolutly allowed, especially the alternate start mods.  Serana's Perks actually make more sense than Eola's if you look up the Vampire class on UESP you will see that vampires also have a 1 in Destruction and Alteration (meaning they are minor skills) so the argument for those two skills to be included makes perfect sense to me.  But as i said with Eola it's more important to recreate the character than to be dogmatic about skills so if it makes sense (and i think it does) then go ahead and perk those skills.

    Ah, okay, and she *does* use those, ahem, lovely ice spikes all the sodding blummetty time...

    @Bonelord:  I used the UESP as my guide for NPC skills, it's the site I link to in the announcement.  According to UESP her skills are Two-Handed, Heavy Armor, Archery, and Block.  However I could see Mjoll sharpening her weapons and reinforcing her armor, whether or not this means perking Smithing....i don't know I don't see Mjoll as the type of person to slave away at a forge or crafting table.

    I also see a good warrior class being able to to sharpen and maintain their own weapons and armor. Like a bosmer fletching for their bow or something like that.

    Is it okay to give myself Serana's outfit and ice spike/raise zombie spells (through console or the additemmenu mod)? None is tremendously OP, but they're not completely basic out-of-the-gate stuff, either. Else, a set of the basic, unenchanted red vampire armour until I can get the proper set (which I think is while searching for Mumsy?) I think I'm going to go with Sacrosanct (EnaiSiaion's vampire mod) simply because I know Enai makes danged good mods and he has a clear compatibility page (and it's compatible with Dynamic Vampire Appearance.) Hesuggests NOT picking a vampire start in ASLAL (though the Lord Harkon's Court one seems to work okay, I think he means the bog standard 'vampire in a grotty lair' one) as it appears to give the 'wrong form' of vampirism, but there's a potion you can take in lieu of that so I'll prob go for a bit of wilderness and a potion...

     

    Curse of the Vampire looks v good, though, I like the nightmares and the 'taking damage in temples/trespassing/in sunlight' (which Sacrosanct doesn't appear to have.)

    Okay, Vargr, put me down for Smilodon, Morrowloot, Skytest, Immersive citizens, and Unofficial Patches. So, some nice overhauls there. My modder's log will go up tomorrow. I'll be doing a Modder's log for it, but it won't count towards the event as I'll be focusing more on gameplay rather than in character stuff. I already have a modder's log that's in character  (Lilithia's Requiem thread) and I have a ton of other "in character" writing to do. I'll also slap my WiP up. Found some nifty art for the build and have a very strong direction for the build (Thank you, Teineeva, brainstorm person of awesomeness).

    I think my mod list may be... Rather longer than that. Going for about 70% of the full EnaiRim experience - Wildcat, Sacrosanct, Ordinator, plus probably Aurora and Summermyst, not sure about Imperious for this game, oh, and I won't bother with Apocalypse because Serana is a two or three trick pony -ice spells, raising stuff, and occasional drain, from what I remember. Idk about using the Lord form, she doesn't in game but I'm sure, lore-wise, she has the ability.. I suspect the reason she doesn't use it is more about gameplay but it does seem to be in character not to transform. ASLAL, Enhanced Skyrim Presets, or whatever it's called, probably Skyrim Immersive Creatures, Simply Knock, Immersive Citizens... I'm going to beg shamelessly to be allowed to keep the carriage and ferry overhaul mod, which lets you take a carriage or ferry to more places, given afaik fast travel is allowed. Then various quality of life stuff like guard dialogue overhaul and realistic room rental... Eh, Lisette knows me, I've got about 80 plugins on my prototype profile for this, and that's probably half what I usually have!

    You can officially put me down for Ralis instead of Ahtar
