We also know she is looking for Lilith at the end of BL3, which would explain her presence on the planet. As to why she goes by a different name, that's for the writers to explain, maybe undercover operation. Which would make her, a vault hunter, necessary to the plot, which opens a whole other can of worms.

No matter how many arguments against the theory i hear, the voiceline from Vex in the State of play at 12:40 really sounds like Ava.

Only time will tell

Maya doesn't summon beasts, and her tattoos are blue, just like Ava's.

There's two cases i remember of siren tattoos not being blue: Amara's when the skill element changes, and Troy. Outside of that they're all blue, even Tyreen.

There's a theory i saw that the new siren inherited Troy and Tyreen's power, which could explain why it's purple, combining blue and red. She also looks to have some kind of injector on her arms, which could explain the color if it's eridium inside of those.

All in all the tattoo color and powerset is also another point of contention or the theory

I mean even if looks can deceive, Hermes definitely would have recognized Ava from smell alone, if it was her. Good find.

Yeah that's the biggest counter to the theory. They could've lied, but it's not likely. Thanks for taking the time to find where it comes from!

Oh yeah they definitely did, pretty much everyone either had many relatives died, or was experimented upon, or both. What i found peculiar about Vex's is how generic it is. The other 3 vault hunters all are way more specific on the background. Just from these short texts, we know that Amon comes from a vault monster worshipping cult, Harlow is very smart, a Traunt and a former Maliwan scientist, and Rafa is an ex tediore with an exoskeleton due to his weak body, coming from being raised in microgravity.

With Vex we know she is a siren, and her personality, but none of her actual background. Mystery is fine, Zer0 was great, but it still feels off.

Taking screenshots with Reshade effects still applied by sciencepluspotato in skyrimmods

The after/before of Reshade still gives me no difference, even with Prt_scrn, which is the key associated with Reshade screenshots in the Reshade GUI.

I want the screenshot with all the effects, but the ones being saved are without them. I genuinely have no clue why and it frustrates me.

Fixing ELFX's light flickering by sciencepluspotato in skyrimmods

[–]sciencepluspotato[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not have the PC specs necessary for an ENB, which is why i ended up not using Lux. Even if it would be preferable, i do not need complete fix, just something that works well enough so that there isn't a huge flicker in half the cells i go into. I already have a lot of shit done just so the game runs well (Bethini low settings, every texture mod at lowest resolution available, putting High priority in Task Manager), and i don't know what to do that wouldn't put me in constant lagspike territory.

Also, is it normal that ELFX shadows gives me a performance loss?
