Seeing as you're getting a bunch of flash updates, will there be a soundtrack released anytime? I especially want the danceoff music. Edit: If she does take part in the competition, it'd better be another dancing minigame. With different music to dance to for each round, and a differently moving goal bar.

Seeing as Exelsior had music credits, I'm fairly sure the music is original. Also, update.

A Fur-eash Start and Claws for Alarm. Their puns, not mine. While there's not really enough for a full album there (yet), you should be able to download from the above links.

I think your 16121 is the highest score I've seen so far, though.

Kazerad posted:Hm, the problem I see with this is that it would work really well in a video game but not so well in a comic, where your readership basically has to be guided along a linear path. If Katia wins the dance battle in one person's playthrough but loses in another, I'd basically have to say only one of those outcomes is "canon". The only reason the minigame worked in Excelsior was because the setup meant any outcome could be equally canon. Integrate it! If more than 50% of the viewership wins, she wins.

Katia is a courier now, huh? This is starting to remind me of New Vegas. Anyways. I'm hoping we can haggle the book down to, say, the price of a fork or spoon.

Not sure how much money Katia has on her (if any?), maybe the bookstore owner will accept her price if she says it's all she has on her. Still, a lot of work went into Kvatch and it's one of the few places Kazerad has full freedom to explore without touching on Oblivion's main plot, so I expect we'll be here for a while.

Android Blues posted:It's drakes not sovereigns!! I think those're silver pieces. Oh, right. My mental picture is that prices are always inflated and rounded to the nearest gold piece for adventurers, because they're the ones with the tons of cash from looting and adventuring. Katia isn't one, yet. She must still getting the prices that NPCs charge one another.

I just want to certify the statement in the OP that it's possible to enjoy Prequel without knowing a thing about the game it's based off of. Despite never playing any kind of RPG, let alone Oblivion, I read through the archives last weekend and got totally hooked. I think I was kind of indifferent at the start with the multiple relapses and mishaps, but the Countess's dinner (most notably the Imperial Guard's entrance) sold me on it.

40 Septims is enough for a lot of cheap wine. Prequel and the (at the time) imminent release of Skyrim got me to finally sit down and start playing Oblivion. 110 hours later and I'm nowhere close to finished.

For all its flaws, Oblivion's one of those games that keeps me coming back over and over again through the years. Mods add to the replayability even further, if you don't mind sifting through 1000 nude skins and rape simulators to find the good ones.

A thought. We've all been talking about whether "Prequel" is a prequel to Oblivion in some sense, such as Katia becoming the protagonist and going to Imperial jail, or joining the cult that attacks at the start of the game. But what if it's actually a prequel to Skyrim, and this is the story of the ancestor of the Dragonborn?

This is The Most Understandable Hiatus. I've got far more important things than a webcomic that I've been procrastinating on because of Viking Simulator 2011. I do wonder what sort of character Kaz is play as, though. Will all of his Skyrim playing affect the creative process of making the comic? Flash-forwards to Katia's great-great-granddaughter as she stumbles through the snow, trying not to be executed? Actually a Dmitri-esque interlude where we get to see Katia's descendent and it ends on her getting tragically butchered could have a very similar narrative impact as Dmitri did - something that Katia wasn't even aware of but still makes us sad for her. Then again it might be a little too sad. Or not?

Possibly, but the only things Dmitri's scene added were things that could've been assumed off-screen (that Gro-Upp got a fire-resistance ring somewhere, for example). The real narrative purpose was to keep the tone of the comic gloomy at a time where Katia wasn't having anything sad happening to her personally. Not that the comic is all that gloomy, there's plenty of comedy, but the backdrop seems to require a steady supply of sad events. As such, only the faintest excuse would be needed to justify the flash-forward, like maybe injecting some of the Dragon-born mystery into Katia's life (was her descendent the dragon-born?), or showing the descendent with some heirloom in her possession that Katia doesn't have yet (is it valuable? Will it be of use to Katia in some important capacity?). The scene could then work immediately as a mood dampener and long-term as an introduction to an incidental plot thread. He couldn't do it right away though, since we just finished with Dmitri and that gloom hasn't worn off just yet. Which is a pity, because "Skyrim just came out! Here's a Skyrim interlude!" Would also work well as a way to initially justify the cutaway until the larger purpose/mystery is put forward.

I'm actually hoping Dmitri is coming back, being a necromancer and all, but I'm not exactly holding my breath over it. Although that'd be cool.
