Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself. I've always been aware of TES games through friends, but my real introduction was by playing Skyrim back in January (and continues on hundreds of hours later.) Oblivion is next on the list, and it will be interesting to take a step back and catch all of the references made in Skyrim.
I'm a little "late to the game" (har har), but having a long background in software development, product management, and design, I've become pretty obsessed with making mods. I came to TES Alliance for the community, but also to find more technical information, and learn more about the lore and histories. I've really fallen for the detailed universe of TES, especially since I can now interact more with it via modding (if that makes sense?)
Anyhow, you can check out my first mod here, "Skygazer Moons - Masser & Secunda Ultra HD 4k", the first in a series of night sky upgrades for Skyrim.

This is a beautiful website, and I am continually impressed with how deep the knowledge runs in the community.
Cheers!
