SL fashionista Alicia Chenaux has a fun post on exploring Skyrim, the single-player virtual world, wherein her motto is, "I just want to kill stuff and look pretty doing it", which is as good as any other. However, she's right about this: "I was going to be a reptile or a cat... [but e]ven the elves aren't cute!" Yes, most of Skyrim's character models are decidedly odd and blocky looking, lacking the details and polish that SL's best avatars have in abundance. But Ms. Chenaux still has a grand time in Skyrim, wantonly stealing and stabbing anyone who gets in her way. Which come to think of it, are usually what SL fashionistas accuse each other of doing. (Both of which activities are better enjoyed, like Alicia, in a single-player world.)
And speaking of looking pretty in Skyrim (and making Skyrim itself prettier): Iris Ophelia has info on user-made mods which do just that.
