LE Ultimate necromancy

[LEGENDSOFMAGNUS7]

Why are 90% of necromancy mods just some new summon skeleton?

 

I mean seriously guy's there are some amazing dark magic mods out there like vile art of necromancy, corpse preparation, psykotic necromancy mod, undeath and undeath-addons. All of these mods work great individually and if used together they make being a necromancer on par with being a werewolf or vampire on a heavily modded game with its own quests, powers, magic and baddass transformation to boot. Unfortunately both vile art and psykotics mods have been abandoned before coming to fruition and they've given away full permissions rights to their work (although most of the feature work fine even now, they have many bugs). undeath has yet to be officially abandoned, but the mod author has not made any attempt to update his mod for 2 years. The maker of addons doesn't report that he intents to keep addons much longer due to responsibilities to other mods and life.

 

My question is why, why is necromancy a dying field. It has a thriving community of supporters just waiting with baited breath for a dark magical fix.

 

I request,no, I beg that a bright eyed and talented author take the abandoned works of the greats and turn them into the sparkling gem they were meant to be, A single mod that shows the spirit of the dark arts and shows young modders what a REAl necromancer is; not some small time conjurer hiding in the woods, but a scholar diving deep into forget lore and ancient texts for the dirty secrets of magic. A man looking for the wisdom of the ancients to and a visionary who not only practices, but combines ALL of magical study to make him a stronger mage.

If you don't know what any of these mods are I'll post mod descriptions and links below later

When did I say I intend to stop work on Undeath addons anytime soon? the mod isn't being abandoned considering I have almost completed the mod, next update on its adding a perk tree for crying out loud with 10 or 11 perks. new spells to the lich enemies and several tweaks and so on.

You might want to link to it. I wasn't aware anyone was doing anything with this mod. Maybe post on the old mod as well.

I never meant you were abandoning it, I Thought you said you were going to put mod updates on Hiatus for a while after the next update in one of are conversations. If this didn't come across than that's my fault, my English is horrible sometimes.

 

Besides that the point I was trying to make was there are so few REAL necromancy mods coming out as of late, the fact that the great mods are all being abandoned/hiatus/completed only adds to my worry.(Again if I didn't say this properly, entirely my fault.)

 

I would also point out the fact of a mod being completed can be just as bad as it being abandoned, as there would be no reason to visit the mod page after download, the less reason to visit the mod page the less traffic a mod generates, and if a mod doesn't generate traffic it fades into obscurity, only known by people who were fans from the beginning. The reason for this is after the mod is completed, the people who know about it will download it and forget about it because they have other things to worry about. In doing so, word about the mod will slow to a crawl and few new modders will ever know about its existence. The less new people who know about necromancy mods, the less new modders will make NEW necromancy mods(beyond the skeleton summoners who think that's how necromancy works of course).
