  1. Lol. Just walk along the trail one day, and hear a fox say "VINCEY-PRINCEY!", startling you and making you kill it. Then you're beset by a hungry Macho Man dragon, and two swearing mudcrabs.
  2. I'd like to see some toads added... Mainly cause I have two amphibian creatures of my own I made up, but still.

     

    Are they mods? Because if so, that'd be awesome.

    No, just drawings/concepts. Probably not doable even with the CK, but I can dream.

  3. it is so odd having an RPG like Skyrim and have only a bog-standard FPS-style combat system.

     

    Morrowind and Oblivion pretty much had the same combat system(Morrowind had dice rolls though but still...)

     

    I'd like to see VATS in Skyrim, it was pretty cool to use in Fallout with melee weapons(teleporting at lightning fast speed to the other side of a chain fence to attack an enemy was awesome and priceless.) :biggrin:

     

    Slightly off-topic, there was a lot of cool stuff that Fallout had that they for some reason removed...(throwing weapons, VATS, ammo crafting, survival, karma), kind of sad and odd. :psyduck:

     

    We need a Fallout 3 combat mod then! Melee, ranged and magical VATS! Grenade-like weapons such as Alchemist's Fire and Acid Flasks! Kill-moves for EVERYTHING!

  4. The Khajiit traders have a system like that (Although they don't have any pack animals to carry their tents and stuff), so it's possible. Also, hunters and bandits trade off ownership of different camps around Skyrim, so no camp will be populated all the time.
  5. Having a swamp dragon following you around is like having a crate of TNT on a string. One sneeze and your toast. Could be funny, however. Especially if you could "rent" one for adventures.

     

     

    Anybody out there familiar with Discworld want to make some campanions to test the water?

     

    How about a test town? Start with the Shades and work your way around.

     

    Or better yet, just make an inn (The Mended Drum) and build around!

  6. Rather than clipping it would probably do the spazz-out physics madness and get catapulted all over the place!

     

    This too. I suppose if you wanted a perfect trap, a chest where all the enchanted weapons and heavy loot fly up and hit you in the face when you open it would be the way to go.

  7. I have a few new ideas for this after reading about True-naming and demonology in the D&D Tome of Magic.

     

    Basically, True-naming is a magic system built around the concept that the true word for something grants you power over it; However, if you were to say these words backwards, it would create an opposite, and sometimes bizarre effect.

    I'm wondering if this system can be applied to the Dragon Shouts.

     

    Then, there's the fact that Dragon's names are made up of Shouts. Demon summoning works similar in D&D; You learn the demon's name, and summon it to bind it to your will. However, getting the name isn't easy, since the abyssal demons keep their true names secret, and kill anyone who knows it. So what if there were some Dragons that sought to keep their names secret?

    Such as an ncient Dragon Titan (Like Alduin) who is forcibly summoned by their true name (much to their displeasure), and so kills anything that meets it in person, or goes by the name of a single word such as "Tempest" or "Glacier". Or take it a different direction, to where a Dragon cannot become a Dragon Lord of a hold without asserting their dominance through their name? Maybe they like being challenged by those foolish enough to call them? Or mayhaps the other Dragons won't serve a nameless Dragon Lord?

     

     

    Finally, I have an idea for a greater power/shout to make fights with Ancient Dragons and Dragon Titans worth it: Say you've defeated this Dragon Titan who only calls himself "Ember". He's a gargantuan beast, his scales are made of magma and brimstone, and his breath reeks of sulfur. After defeating him, he realizes how powerful the Dragonborn is, to defeat Alduin, as well as himself, and reveals his true name. Well, when his name is spoken regularly, it functions similar to Call Dragon; Summoning him from the skies to rain down fire and meteors from above.

    However, when inverted, he bursts from the ground to devastate all land opponents with earthquakes and searing magma spikes.

     

    Essentially, one would call the Dragon Titan to the air, and the other would call them to the ground (or even to the water), depending on what the Titan is to represent. It doesn't even have to function like a summon spell. It could simply be a called air-strike, or a terrifying shockwave attack.

     

    I'm hoping that with the addition of other flying beasties besides dragons, the Call Dragon and other aerial-assault shouts will be more useful.

  8. I mainly want the armor as well. I find the lack of glowwy armor to go with the Magicka Sabers mod disturbing.

     

    Maybe, for the lore nuts, call the tron armor "Akaviri Dragon Slaying armor" or something, since the Blades draw their weapons and armor from the Akavir warriors.

  9. Alright, somehow after MysteriousTraveler achieved 100 schneak, MysteriousTraveler was able to slit throats all the time.

     

    MysteriousTraveler don't know why, but i guess thats just how it is...

     

    Psst.

    -Enters sneak mode-

    Guy. It's kinda like Fallout 3.

     

    Since your sneak skill is so high, you are nigh indetectable and don't start combat right away.
