What is project "Death Snow" ?

Skyrim came out with and old, but strongly upgraded engine. It has a lot of opportunities that Bethesda didn't used yet.

They don't even have to, since we, the fanatics of their products, we will do what we want if that is possible.

Project "Death Snow" will remake your gaming experience from the roots.

The battles are heavy, and you're not sure to make it... Everything depends on your skill you learned in your journey!

A new beginning at twice the fun, and the most awesome adventures you can imagine in Skyrim!

 

Why should I help?

Because you'll LOVE the mod. You can support us in many ways, while you got your own benefits also:

• You'll do something worthy. While you do what you like to.
  
• The good time others will have by your work - is priceless.
  
• You'll be a part of a team that will leave a mark in gaming history!
  
• May Bethesda pays real attention if we succeed, and you'll get your reward.
  I heard many rumors about taking a job, but Im honored with many stuff for my works.
  
• You'll have an awesome gaming experience in the end!
  

Check the Crew list at the end. You can sign in if you want, but you have to do your part.

 

Who the hell are you, Royal?

Not the common rabble, for sure. I'm an Elite Gamer & Designer.

I want the best gaming experience even for you, even for myself.

I did show many times that some games can be at last TWO TIMES better.

:cool: GTA? Full realistic handlings with wheelpad compability!

:ninja: JK3? 13-19k mesh full detailed maps and skins!

:pirate: Fallout? Houndreds of retexture, new lore balance !

(MadMax style. If you got a full clip of ammo, you're one of the richest man)

:nuke: STALKER? Full Item balance. And RolePlay Airsoft events! :) :dance:

There is more where it came from...

So, its not waste of time to help in this mod.

We'll make history! :thumbsup:

[RoyalPredator]

Still have to do the rest at Balance section, but Im KO. I'll do it tomorrow, folks. o_O

[RoyalPredator]

LIST 1 UPDATED!

 

Waiting for opinions and likes.

[Fallout3playerz]

Well you have a lot of work to do but that would be very nice in the end tho. Will you be giving us the options of selecting what we want as I would only be intrested in the World,Population and the Factions parts?

[RoyalPredator]

Yes, the mod will be separated into pieces, so everyone can use what he wants - and can use else.

Its a Big kind of Overhaul, since it upgrades nearly everything that Bethesda left in "release-able state"

They know well that we will do our parts, thats why they released the Creation Kit.

 

Actualy, I'm not doing this mod myself.

I need Modders to do scriptworks and packaging .esp files

[GomuGomu64]

Eh. Guess I'll help a bit here an' there. Any specifics on what you need done?

[RoyalPredator]

As you wish! :thumbsup:

Which task you Can and Want to take?

 

The most important part is the Balance of Perks and Shouts.

[RoyalPredator]

!!ALL LIST UPDATED!!

2011.03.12

 

Still NEED MODDER members!

 

I'm searching for every little pieces that can be upgraded for better gaming experience.

If you know something whats not on the list, or just got an idea, please post it here!

 

- Royal

[NanakoMagojiro]

since you mention imperials, you could always incorporate stuff from my imperial armour mod ^^ : http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11928

 

I'm especially pleased with that medium armour, and it looks like the style in your banner picture is similar.

 

It also works well alongside Cloaks of Skyrim. Merging that into any big mod would be fun too if you can

[Ryan5280]

WOW. That is a lot. This could really be a fascinating work of art! Keep it up :biggrin:
