Description Remember your first time playing Skyrim, before you installed 200+ mods, when you could still stomach it without Alternate Start? And remember, after escaping a proper clusterfuck and having a nice stroll through the woods with either That Swede from the Cart or Skirt Man, you end up in this little town? And as you're trying to get into the store to sell the several thousand pots and pans you picked up, this weird elf- with quite possibly the ugliest ponytail you've ever seen- waltzes up to you and accuses you of speaking to some idiot named Sven?

And then he starts relaying to you, a complete, blood-covered stranger he'd just seen follow a soldier into town, all about his lady problems and ongoing rivalry with a tone-deaf bard. And he wants you to go into the shop he's been blocking the door of this whole time and give some half-assed, fake poem to a woman that had probably heard him talking to you through the door. At this point, you start to think that this dude's a little fuckin' bizarre.

But then you remember you're playing a Bethesda game and say "what the hell, easy quest for me". So you give the woman the note, who actually falls for it, and Faendal becomes your indentured servant for the rest of his life. Literally. Because the dumbass went charging at three Spriggans and their pair of bears as you ran for your level 5 life all the way to Riften.

And yet somehow, I developed a soft spot for this moron. Just not for his ass-ugly ponytail.

Siiiigh... Ah yes, the olden days. Don't forget the random streaking through town and putting buckets on people's heads. Actually I think that's still a part of my current gaming experience so never mind.

Faendal looks the bomb here, woah! Beautiful work!

"What're you doing that for?!" The merchant says as he stands still and lets me put the bucket on his head anyway. And then of course, there's the courier that follows you all the way to Morrowind in nothing but his drawers.

Thank you so much!

Despite his astounding ability to get himself killed, Faendal was one of my most favorite followers in the game. I'll always think fondly of him, even if you're right, and his pony-tail is the stupidest thing ever. I love this pic you've done of him, it looks really great!Β Β

Yeah, same here. I leave him in Riverwood now (mostly so he doesn't get killed), but I still do like him.

And thank you!

Sounds kinda silly when you put it that way . . .

Gorgeous pic.

A lot of Skyrim's quests and mechanics are a bit ridiculous if you think about them too much. lol Like how you can tell most of the daedric princes to shove off with no retaliation.

And thank you, for the comment and the fave!

Oh my squishy Hermaeus Mora, this is an amazing render.Β  You managed to capture his querulous expression so perfectly and the lighting and shaders are really excellent.


Also I adore weathered elves.

Thank you! And thanks for the fave! I'm glad his annoyed expression is apparent. I always found it amusing that he constantly looks disgusted with life. (Although, if I was being dragged around a frozen hell fighting bandits, undead and dragons simply because someone walked four feet to deliver a letter for me, I'd probably be pretty annoyed as well.)

And me too. I definitely prefer TES's rendition of elves to something like LotR.

Free Archery training! ...after I root through his stuff, and take back my money.

I used to do that! Until I got USLEEP, and it patched it so your gold just disintegrates instead.
So now I take the key to his house, tell him to wait outside the inn, and sneak into his house to steal all his stuff. I can't even sell any of it until I'm in with the Thieves' Guild, but it makes me feel better. lol

Thanks for the fave, by the way!
