LE Create the Stormbow from Guild Wars

[luzhun]

Hi everyone. I am not sure if this mod has already been created or not, but I am going to post this to find out. I was wondering how hard it might be to add the Stormbow from Guild Wars into Skyrim? :ohmy:

I am not sure if you know how that looks and acts in Guild Wars, but it is a clear (bluish white or icy blue) colored bow with electric or lightning covering the entire bow and constantly moving semi fast. It would be cool if lightning arrows could be included as well that have a shock damage upon impact. Also if happen to bash someone with the bow, they would also receive shock damage.

Here is a video showing the Stormbow from Guild Wars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdzlA30mops

 

I know Skyrim has the lightning bolt skill which you may be able to use textures from that? How the lightning looks while in their hand, maybe can have that running around the bow, unless you use custom textures altogether. Hmm..

 

I was thinking instead of having to use custom models, perhaps there is an easier route? I know there is a bow already in Skyrim in one of the expansions, I think it is called the Solstein bow. It is a blue one already. Maybe you could use that and make the electricity or lightning move all around it? I will look in the game again and compare it to how the Storm Bow looks. Another option perhaps would be to change the glass bow color instead? or it may be better if you did use custom models for everything after all. Hmm.. :geek:

 

Thank you all for considering this mod. I downloaded the Skyrim creation kit recently and would have loved to have made this mod myself but it does look intimidating. I may be wrong though but I think it would take me a long time just to figure out how to use just to even get started on it. If you do create this mod, do you think it could be possible to record your screen throughout the whole process and can send the video of you making this? That way, I can learn what all you did and can try to duplicate or create the same thing from scratch which will personally help me learn how to use the creation kit. :cool:

 

No problem if you do not wish to record. I do understand. Thank you for any information on any mods that may be similar to this one that is already out there. If there isn't any, I am sort of surprised no one else has made this yet. It was a very popular bow in that game. :thumbsup:
