Skyrim Hype Thread: Undead Chicken Soup for the Dragon's Soul
I obsess more about about how my housecarl looks than how my own character looks. (Anyone else notice that all the housecarls in the game are female? Well, all the ones I've seen) Up to now I've been giving her gear that improves her bowmanship to make her into a long-range terror and that's been working out pretty well, but lately it's bothering me how unsightly she looks. I wanna dress her in more feminine clothes. Unfortunately, feminine clothing is either hard to come by, or I don't like the selection, or she won't put it on anyway if the armor rating doesn't meet her standards. Curse these strong Nord women :(
For pov I use all three. I think 1st person lends itself best for dungeons, 3rd person over-the-shoulder (weapon sheathed) for towns, and 3rd person centered (weapon drawn) for "overworld" travel.

Ulfric's not hard even when you get to the showdown with him (which I just did a couple hours ago). That's okay because you have to be tough to survive all the battles leading up to that point.
The hardest enemies I've seen besides dragons & giants are hiding deep in the dungeons. I found a dungeon today that was full of literally hundreds of chaurus eggs and guarded by a big mama chaurus--extremely deadly. The Kyne shout (makes animals stop attacking) was a lifesaver down there!

That looks sharp! I want that armor.
It is sweet rushing into battle--decent-sized battles with dozens of combatants on both sides--swinging a warhammer madly and dropping enemies in one or two blows. Two-handed weapons weren't so great in Oblivion, but I went ahead and put my chips into two-handed, trusting Bethesda to have made it better in this game, and it is paying off.
Something I'm noticing...there is apparently a kind of trust system whereby if you get on someone's good side (by visiting often?) they don't mind you taking stuff that is lying around in their castle or store. Yes, store :)

PC users can still use hotkeys? Not fair! PS3 users only get two "hotkeys" this time, d-pad left and d-pad right. It's one of the few changes that can make a PS3 user really miss Oblivion.
I don't care for the favorites menu. The text is impossible to read. I have to memorize the positions of items on the favorites menu because the text on an SD TV is unreadable by humans. (even on a TV with a very big screen!) That combined with the changes to magic that make it more cumbersome* cause me to not bother using magic at all. It's just me and my warhammer. Okay, me and my warhammer & Lydia and her warhammer.
* In order to cast a soul trap you would first need to put away your weapon, then "wield" the spell, then charge it, then aim and cast, then switch back to your weapon...and wait for the excruciatingly long delay before your character actually pulls it out. An enemy can kill you during that time. Forget that. I'm buying filled soul gems from stores from now on.

The Wolf Queen really gave me hell. Maybe if I'd had some resistance to shock I wouldn't have had to pause every minute to eat like 90 carrots at a time.
edit: you can marry Ysolda? Nice! I liked her the moment I met her. But how to win a fight with a mammoth...,

Time to stick a fork in it?

Correct me if I'm reading you wrong, but unless there's an outpouring of support (Testing support, that is.) for GxB support, there will be no GxB support. Gotta love the irony.
Well when we first discussed the idea of GxB support (and I was the one who proposed it) there wasn't actually anybody saying they wanted that feature. That's why I shelved the idea for so long; didn't think there was enough interest in it. So the poll results kind of surprised me.
Since there wouldn't be built-in characters to go with a GxB feature, I think it would be important for there to be content creators who could make some. Although I said testing support, I meant this too.
(Also, I doubt my ability to write from the female perspective)
*edit: Hrm, is Emiko on the main page of the custom content tab of this site yet? No!?
*vicious stare*
She's there now.
Time to stick a fork in it?
Actually, I wasn't intending on adding any more built-in characters, male or female. Users writing GxB content would need to provide their own images. Now that I think about it, adding GxB would only be worth it if at least a couple users interested in making male characters--not just playing them--would come forth and help me test the new functionality (the way you've been helping, Marrend).
Speaking of Emiko, shall I go ahead and upload it for you?

Testing
Nah, the 10MB limit is for a single file. The secret uploader should work if the problem you were having with the regular uploader was due to file type. Both dude797 and nekochi were able to upload their files using the secret uploader because of that. But if the problem you're having is a timeout, then neither uploader will work. I think the timeout can become a problem well before you reach the 10MB limit. Does it seem like 30 seconds go by before it fails?
Custom content (archived discussion)
Yeah, it could come to that, if people want that feature. I would need some assurance that it would be used for more than saving 1 MB for one character before I go to the trouble of adding it.
If you don't mind the tachie displayed in the left or right position, here's something else you can do:
Use a dummy character to serve as a host for OTHER pics and display a custom background in this way with SHOW CENTER. Then display the tachie for any other characters you like in front of this background with SHOW RIGHT or SHOW LEFT.

Thoughts of a Deceased Crawler
I hope you're not abandoning Edifice because somebody wrote a nitpicky review of the demo. (Of a demo! You know this community is too obsessed with reviews when even demos aren't safe from it) From what I've played, it looks solid to me.
That said, what drives me away is slow-paced, complex, big-party battles being thrown at me from the start. I prefer conventional roguelikes to begin with, where the emphasis is on exploration and looting rather than long combat sequences (I'm sort of developing a roguelike myself along those veins). Things should start out fast-paced and simple. Instead of tons of party members from the start, make new party members be recruited as the player locates them. Instead of battles with many enemies, just one enemy at a time until you get deeper into the dungeon.
