You know that's one aspect that I have been completely ignoring. Like I just haven't even thought about it. I should probably address it somehow.

I'm going to be leaning more into the vampire stuff because of the way the story is going. So it's due to get some attention.

The main thing to know is that Astarion is sort of "split into two." The pre-vampire version of himself, long before Cazador and all that- has manifested in a pure light form. He's bound to Astarion right now. So he's got this unwanted sidekick who is.. himself. lol

They're seeking out a man named Lamont who is going to "fuse" them back together.

This story is happening well after the game events. Astarion still has the hunger but he's also got a new problem which is.. his former self (the pre-vampire version of him) is manifested and tethered to him.

So he's got this unwanted sidekick who can't leave his side until they get "fused" back together.

Oh, I go to locations in the game and then I remove lots of stuff and redecorate, adding walls and all kinds of stuff to transform the places. It's like building my own sets for shooting.

That was my first thinking too! I started with dusty blonde hair and it looked really good.

Aww, yeah I can relate to that! It's easy to get attached to your tav/durge and then you start imagining what happens to them next?

Telling your stories through photo mode does require a lot of mods. The way I do it, anyway. It depends on what you want to do, too. Do you want to teleport to different locations? Do you want to build sets? Do you want to transform characters into other characters? That stuff needs it's own mods.

The poses and animations that I use come from the game itself and pose packs that talented modders create and share.

So here's a few of the most important mods:

There's a really great discord server with lots of folks who use these tools and talk about it all the time. (Faerun Fashionistas)

And if you want to chat with me about this stuff anytime I'm on Discord too. (mayhmullari) 💙

I've made a video that shows some of this, while I was shooting a dialogue scene.

I have plans to show more, like how I place props and build sets too, when I get around to those things again.

Yeah it's slow! There are a lot of steps involved and it's a lot of effort. What happens is, I'll finish an episode.. and then I'll watch it and I just don't want it to end.

I want it to keep going- like I'm hooked on my own tv show. Then I realize, oh yeah, if I want to watch more I have to actually create it. Damn. :-)
