Below is a document I wrote for inclusion in the Return to Helgen v2.5 release. Since Steam provides no way for me to share this with Steam users, I am putting it here in the Guilds News for you to read now.

Enjoy.

Return to Helgen Lore & Role Play Tips.

At times some lore dialog may not seem to fit with the mods story. That is because official lore usually contradicts other official lore because that is how Beth write their lore. So I have to present that lore “as is” to show you the all versions of the real lore even if it does contradict it self. I know it seems out of place at times but thats necessary for the correct presentation of actual lore topics.

Except for some of the AIs in Helgen completely ignoring their AI packages which has been a problem since V1 because Skyrim is fucked (sorry but that word is accurate) and buggy and always has been. The first test of the Battle of Helgen ended successfully. It never even made a dint in my frames per second but that does not mean anything because my computer is brand new and bang up to date.

I just have to balance the battle now and add some Quest and Eye candy to finish it off.

I took part in the battle as you can see above and all I can say is it was absolutely frekking fantastic :)

This is definitely going on Youtube when I am done.

I would just like to inform everybody that I have posted the voice lines for one shot characters and group greetings on the forum in the Voice Actor Guild. These lines are ideal for new voice actors to try out.

They are mostly for NPCs in my quests PO5, PO6 and PO7 on the forum. That is Penitus Oculatus 5, Penitus Oculatus 6, Penitus Oculatus 7 etc. I have 8, 9 and 10 to do after this so I am trying to get these lines done quickly so there is no back log.

All the lines are available to read in the voice actor Guild in THIS THREAD. You may need to register see that thread.

For those what do not know yet, which is everybody because I have not told anybody yet. PO7 is Alik'r Favors, a quest I just finished writing and testing to day. It is the latest quest to be up for voice acting and all parts in it are posted on the forum.

Only 3 more quests to go to finish the Storm Crown Part 2 :)
At which point you can expect Helgen V2.5 to be released.

I may change it to V3 yet, since there is a lot in it already.

Wow, Steam got its hands on System Shock 2, a real classic from the past. I actually still have the boxed version on my shelf right now. Chris Avellone actually tweeted System Shock was on GOG months ago so I knew it had been released but now its on Steam too.

This is a classic you younger players may want to look at it. It is a Half Life system game with more story, kind of like Deus Ex, Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines. That sort of game. Not a straight shooter by any means.

A treat for scifi RPG fans and it still sounds great and supports modern PC screenmodes, something many newer games do not do.

System Shock on Steam (£4.98 on Sale, £6.99 normally)

System Shock on GOG ($9.99)

Before you dash off an buy it, I estimate the game costs about the same on both sites once Steam sale ends. GOG usually through in extra stuff though that you do not usually see anymore.

I can confirm that System Shock whilst a Single Player game did have a coop mode patched in to it in a later patch. Though it was buggy, it did work.

In my youth I was a huge Starwars fan, so much so I can usually tell you exactly what changed between the various special editions George Lucas has released over the years. Even between the original releases and the first showing on TV as Video was starting to appear, George made changes to the series. Fine tuned the plot.

Then over time he updated the graphics too, used CGI to replace human actors with digital actors/monsters.

Most of the internal scenes were filmed originally in the UK, including all of Yodas scenes in the Empire Strikes back.

Disney were given some tax breaks as an incentive to bring the series back to the UK for the 7th movie and so it will be filmed around the UK in 2014. Most likely in sound studios again. Which means you can expect to see a long line of interviews of the old stars on TV when they arrive to start filming. That is usually what happens with these movies.

Just a heads up for you all, Dishonored is on sale at Gamersgate for about £7.50 over the weekend. It had already dropped in price to £15 from £30. Players have told me it is a good game and nobody has mentioned bugs yet which for a Bethesda game was a amazing but it appears Bethesda are only the publisher not the developer.

I was not going to buy any more Bethesda games because they are far too buggy and to be honest, I strongly dislike the company and their treatment of their own customers anyway. But I decided for £7.50 it was worth the risk.

Somebody told me it is about 8 hours long, so it will pass my £1 per hour value for money test at that price. A friend told me has had over 30 hours out of it. We shall soon see.

Just one warning... they ran out of keys last night so I was not able to play it or download it until they got more keys. I googled this issue and it appears Gamersgate have had this issue before with Bethesda game offers. Demand out strips supply apparently.
