New version of Lucien just dropped (v1.7) and...

He now says Chrysanthe's name! I may have requested it ages ago when Joseph was still doing name commissions, but we never got an update. Until now!

Anyway, thought I'd let you know. :)

He. he what. He does WHAT. 

I don’t play Skyrim these days (I feel like I always come back to it eventually - that or Fallout 4 - but I'm still in my Elden Ring phase rn) so can’t hear it myself but if you or anyone has a recording I would absolutely love to hear it T_T

Extracted using Lazy Voice Finder, here's his intro line. There you go!

idk i just think its a funny scenario :)

Hmm... probably Lucia! He spends enough time around Whiterun to have noticed her plight and to often give her a coin. He's got a whole ass empty house, she can just move in lol. He would notice Alesan in Dawnstar too, but he's much more likely to point Alesan Erandur's way, plus Alesan is not doing tooo bad by orphan standards (iirc the mines are semi-looking after him).

Happy GHD 6th anniversary 🎉

Haha, thank you very much. I don';t think Skyrim's influence can really be overstated though, it's so successful that bethesda just re-releases it every time they need a cash injection ;)

Saw this tiktok and it immediately made me think of gol hah dov

Hello, and apologies for the delay in responding to this! This was such a wonderful thing to read, it actually made me go back and read some of GHD as well! Although it's not perfect, I'm very proud of it as a creation, in no small part due to all the kind words that have been shared since it was completed.

I would say, though, that the mroe Miraak fanfic there is in the world the better, so certainly don't be put off from writing your own, with your own LDB! One of the best things about Skyrim, imo, is how open-ended it is and how well it functions as a sandbox for creative ideas. I had a lot of fun writing Miraak but ultimately, that's just my version of him - there are so many other good takes on his personality and the people, last dragonborn or otherwise, who people write him with.

Of course, Teldryn is also wonderful and certainly worthy of romancing. I think had I not fallen into hyperlove with Miraak during my Skyrim playthrough, Teldryn would have been the one for me (and therefore the megafic I went on to write) instead.
