New Poll: Should The Amazon join The Imperial Legion or The Stormcloaks?

It's been some time since I started my latest Skyrim Playthrough, featuring the barefoot heroine known as The Amazon. Right now, she's at Level 50 and a total badass. I think at this time she's powerful enough to tip the balance of Skyrim's Civil War if she were to take a side. But what side should she take?

Though she's technically a Nord, she's actually a foreigner to Skyrim, so she's not going to go with Ulfric and the Nord cause just because she's blonde, tall and (probably) speaks in a German accent. But she does dislike oppression and repression, and the way that the Thalmor have been given free reign to walk over the rights of Skyrim's people at will irks her to no end. That said, she is from a militaristic, clannish race herself, and is not averse to an Empire or ruler who is able to maintain the peace by strength and righteousness.

One may argue that she may not join the Legion since they were trying to kill her at the start of the story- but well, she's already taken her revenge on them for that, by defeating Helgen's Imperial Captain in combat. So they're square (perhaps?).

But she's also seen some disturbing things about the Stormcloaks- she's read dubious things about Ulfric from the Thalmor dossiers, and the way the rebels' cause seems to celebrate segregation of non-Nords just rubs her the wrong way.

Should she join the fray? Should she fight to reunite Skyrim for the Empire, or liberate it for The Stormcloaks? Or should she just remain neutral and concentrate on killing dragons and righting little wrongs in Skyrim? Help us decide! Cast your vote in the New Poll now!

Just a side note as well- The Amazon's look above- wearing the Warchief Headdress along with Imperial Legion-style bracers and greaves- seemed familiar to me from somewhere, and I eventually realized that there's an actual unit of Roman Legionnaire in actual history with a similar outfit. These guys were called Aquilifiers and they wore lion skin headdresses. Apparently they were ranked just below Centurions and had the honor of carrying the Legion's standard (the Eagle). So they were pretty badass and terrifying to see for the enemies of Rome. Of course, the Aquilifiers were male and probably didn't go barefoot (nor did they kill dragons or wear dragon armor). Heheh.

Anyways, sadly The Amazon has recently just switched looks again. She still wears her base Dragonplate cuirass, but has replaced her helmet, gauntlets and greaves. I'll leave it at that for now and show off her new look in another article or video.

Wii Fit Trainer Spotlight (Super Smash Bros)

Nintendo's barefoot pale lady gets her time in this featurette.

I don't think many will admit it, but the kinda-creepy Wii Fit Trainer girl's upcoming debut in Super Smash Bros. is pretty cool. She came from left field with her odd repertoire of Yoga and aerobics moves, but she certainly adds a bit of fan service even with her very tasteful and conservative exercise attire.  Anyways, Gamesrader just posted a vid showing off the white-skinned femme fatale, and so more Wii Fit Trainer is always good. I still don't see myself buying a WiiU but since I do have a 3DS, I may be playing with SSB in the future. For now though, check out the vid for some of the whitest soles you'll find in gaming. Heheh.

Skyrim: Path of The Amazon Update! (Elder Scrolls V Skyrim PC)

The Amazon has gone through a lot of changes since she first debuted!

Since I last posted about my heroine, The Amazon, she was of relatively low level, in some slightly crafted armor and equipment, and just growing up in skills. Well, fast forward to today and I think she's come quite a bit.
At Level 47, she's VERY formidable now. She's already got 100 Skill in both Smithing and Alchemy, which allows her to craft Legendary weapons and armor to use, as well as powerful potions that can augment her attack power or heal her in a flash- or do a lot of other effects. Only a wee bit more leveling up in Enchanting and she's maxed out in the crafting part.

Fighting-wise, she's pretty strong but can get stronger. I've decided to branch out her skills from just One-handed to Two-handed weapons, in order to have more variety in Kill move cutscenes for future vids. Still not wanting her to use too much magic- I don't think she needs it- but if she does, perhaps a bit of Conjuration would be cool so she could summon some backup in a flash if she needs it.


She's changed her hairstyle recently, care of the Face But- er, Face Sculptor of Riften.

I think I really like her new look (this has yet to debut on vids- I am so advanced relatively in video postings and in actual gameplay). It's a Tribal Huntress/Semi-Barbaric Frontierswoman look. The Dragonplate armor is the strongest she can have, though I've decided to have her use the sexy Steel Shin Greaves of the Imperial set (a lot sexier and shows more than the Dragonplate greaves); crafted up they give more than enough protection anyway. The Ornate Bear Cloak with the feathers makes her look a bit tribal which I really like (it looks kinda regal, in a barbarian sort of way).

Oh, and by now she's also quite loaded with cash (gold). I realized in previous playthroughs I've done, I invested points into Speech perks (Investor) which gave merchants a lot more money- I haven't done that yet, so I most often clean out shops of cash when I visit. Anyways, thanks to her Alchemy The Amazon can pretty much make a comfy living selling potions she brews (they sell for a LOT). In fact, she's made most of her money that way, and I got her Smithing up simply by upgrading stuff she finds- I only rarely did the Iron Dagger spamming trick.
Anyway, long story short- she's got more than enough cash and can make more honestly (take that, Brynjolf) without needing to loot every corpse she comes across. So I need to resist the urge and just loot only the choicest bits.
Just recently as well, she got her Enchanting to 100 and got the awesome Extra Effect perk- which is pretty much the ticket to really kicking ass in Skyrim.

Even at a pretty high level, she's got a LOT to do yet, and she's nowhere near being 'overpowered' (even if I can still kill a dragon in a couple of hits). I only recently got her into the Companions, but I expect to blow through that easily. I plan to go through the Main Quest, Dawnguard, Dragonborn and perhaps even that cool mod quest Falskaar eventually.



Her alternate look is wearing the Warchief Headdress- really fierce and fitting for a huntress like her.

Perhaps someday when The Amazon has adventured a lot more and decides to take a vacation, I'll start off a Magic-user character. A barefoot shaman/sorceress? Perhaps someday. Hmmm...

Copperhead (Batman: Arkham Origins)

Silent, sexy and slithery... the female Copperhead is a barefoot assassin out to crush Batman under her bare heel.

Just revealed recently in the trailer above is Copperhead, one of eight assassins being contracted by the villainous mastermind Black Mask to take out Batman in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins. In the comics, Copperhead was male and had an obvious snake schtick, complete with a Serpentor-esque costume. Well this baddie has been reimagined in the upcoming prequel to Batman: Arkham City as a somewhat androgynous female with talents in acrobatics and contortion turned to lethal effectiveness (she also apparently uses poison). Batman looks like he isn't prepared for this new enemy, and in the trailer he gets a face full of her feet a couple of times (lucky? Heheh). But I'm sure she'll be horizontal and out cold once the Bats gets his act together.

She seems a nice reason to pick up Batman: Arkham Origins, even if her feet could do with better proportions and detail. Hopefully they'll put in the work that will make her feet really look beautiful as well as deadly. Anyway, Batman: Arkham Origins is out in October (PS3, Xbox360, PC). I'll keep my eyes on this lethal lady...

Chun-Li Seashell Bikini Mod (Streetfighter X Tekken, SSFIVAE for PC)

Chun-Li's new Bikini is a Knockout!

Well, it's been quite a while since I last posted something from Capcom's excellent moddable PC fighters, and seemingly AGES since I last posted about a mod for the lovely Chun-Li. That's actually no biggie for me, since I am thoroughly happy with my favorite Chun mod in SFxTK, the Bikini mod originally from (tweaked in SF4 Explorer) modder gpsingh6375. It's got Chun with her hair down, and in a sexy two-piece that shows off her muscular bod and big and beautifully-detailed fighting feet in all their glory. What else can you ask for?

Actually I can understand pretty easily that not everyone will like or find Chun's Bikini mod to their liking, particularly because of her cartoony proportions. Surely a lot of gamers out there will find the big feet in the mod ugly and un-sexy, or Chun's thighs too big or muscular, or they may miss her trademark hair buns.
All of that is remedied in this new mod, Chun-Li's Seashell Bikini, available for both Streetfighter X Tekken and Super Streetfighter IVAE (PC versions only of course) by modder BrutalAce.

The costume, which is a very skimpy two-piece number, was originally an extra alternate outfit from the game Lollipop Chainsaw. But the modder didn't just simply port the outfit- he actually brought in the body that wore it. Yep, this mod only has Chun-Li's head and face as assets from SFXTK or SSFIVAE; the body and bikini are actually from heroine Juliet Starling from LS.



Chun-Li shows off her moves as well as her hot new body in this mod.

First thing you'll surely notice are Chun's feet, which are now (mostly) very small and normal sized (compared to other girls' feet). Chun-Li is also wearing her hair in her original, popular hair buns style. Other things to love is the way you can customize the different parts' colors, even her finger and toenails.



More action with Chun-Li Seashell Bikini Edition.

Now, here's the thing- while it certainly is HOT and leaves very little to the imagination, I have to admit I really prefer the other Bikini mod with the more, erm, cartoony proportions. For me, it's all about context, and when you see the Seashell bikini mod proportions next to other girls (when in their own barefoot mods), Chun's tiny, 'normal'-sized feet stand out like a not-so-sore thumb. Call me a bit weird, but I miss the detail I enjoyed with the bigger feet, the 'expressiveness' and just how strong they looked. Plus, Chun is (I think) the biggest and tallest and buffest girl in the game- she SHOULD have the biggest feet. Heheh.

As a matter of course, I've posted a couple of vids with this new mod (and maybe a few more if people ask for it), but I will by switching Chun back to her other Bikini mod post-haste. I just love my long-haired, buff and big-footed Bikini Chun-Li too much. Heheh.
For now though, enjoy the new more feminine Chun-Li in this mod and marvel at how soft and delicate her feet look!

Skyrim: Path of The Amazon (The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim PC) UPDATED!

The Amazon is ready to make her mark in Tamriel...

I’ve always said, perhaps one of the best games for footfans is The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. Basically it’s an awesome fantasy sandbox where you can live your sword-and-sorcery dreams with impunity- and with the right mods, every hot woman in the game can have model-gorgeous feet you can ogle to your heart’s content (even if sometimes you have to literally fight your way to them). As any longtime reader should remember, I tried a Skyrim playthrough series before but at the time, some mods I require for a proper playthrough weren’t available- basically since I needed my heroine to go barefoot all the time, it severely restricted what armor I could/could not wear- a big handicap.

Since then, several mods have surfaced that make this new barefoot heroine playthrough possible. One is Greaves and Legwraps, which enables my heroine to wear most any leg armor type and still go unshod. Even better, the modder put out a Replacer version that distributes the greaves/legwraps to the game’s female NPCs (sadly as of yet the Forsworn have been snubbed).

Then there’s Feminized Level Lists which basically makes most common NPC characters female- these include Hold Guards, Bandits, Thalmor, Necromancers, Forsworn and more. So encounters with enemies often are girl-on-girl catfights in this game.

Finally, the new mod I really like this time is FemFeetReDesigned. As we all know, Skyrim’s vanilla (unmodified) feet for its character models are nothing short of HIDEOUS, which makes the original FemFeet mod a godsend for us. Not only do the feet become more detailed and lifelike- I will go as far as saying that FemFeet makes Skyrim’s females have the best-looking ingame feet I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot). Of course, it’s perhaps not totally realistic that barefoot warrior babes have model-gorgeous and ever-clean feet, but this IS a fantasy after all. Heheh. Anyways, FemFeet ReDesigned makes the feet models even more detailed, and with the sole textures of the CBBE female body, they’re incredibly realistic (the SOLE reason why I stay with CBBE and not with other body replacers like UNP- it’s all about the soles, man).

Now of course the female aesthetic mods aside, I do have other mods (well, a gazillion, actually). These include both cosmetic mods that make Skyrim and the things/characters in it more hi-res and pretty, and others affect gameplay. I’ve listed quite a few in the vid at the end, but there are just so many I can’t list them all. Hey, mods make this game what it is.

Where will this heroine's feet take her?

Now, a little backstory on our new protagonist…Who is The Amazon? For starters, she’s not from Skyrim, although she’s considered a Nord by race. She is a foreigner to Tamriel from far, far away. Why and how she came to this battle-torn land is a mystery, but she seems to be searching for someone. After every battle, she often examines the bodies of any slain female enemies, from head to toe. What is she looking for? Perhaps we’ll find out in time.

Of course, The Amazon will always go barefoot, anywhere and everywhere (unless it's quest-related to wear some footwear) but thanks to the aforementioned Greaves and Legwraps mod, she will always have something to wear on her legs and not compromise personal protection. So far I am in love with the Imperial Boots/Steel Shin Boots, which so far are the best-looking of the greaves since they show quite a bit of leg/calves as well as keeping the feet bare. I may have to upgrade her Smithing a lot so that I can keep them upgraded as she levels up. Depending on what armor she finds, her look may change but we’ll see. For now I think Studded Armor looks amazing on her.

Anyway, for now she fights solely to survive and somehow carve out her own niche in this new and dangerous land she now has to call home. What will she find and to what places will her beautiful, inquisitive feet take her? Watch Skyrim: Path of The Amazon on the Youtube Channel!

Or you could watch the first two episodes right here too. Heheh.

The ruthless Imperial Captain gets a bit more 'exposure' this time...

Part Two is filled with sexy and bloody babe-on-babe action.

The first episode brings us yet again to the starting point at Helgen, where the Empire is conducing some summary executions, led by the garrison's bitchy but sexy (and now barefoot) female Imperial Captain. But one of the prisoners- a beauty despite the rags she wears- is meant for more than the Executioner's Block. Watch the first episode of Path of The Amazon, now!
