Just a heads up, the author of 'Footprints' seems to have added the blood trail portion of this today. I updated the file, and was surprised to see drops of blood behind my character after a fight. Standing still causes more drops to accumulate, and returning to full health stops the trail. Very nice indeed.

It would be very interesting to see this combined with footprints. The author of that one is already including many animal prints. It would be very cool to track game to where you could get a shot, then be able to trail it until you can recover it. Also, if the damage over time effect that I mentioned earlier could be tied to an effect that caused it to move more and more slowly as the trail lengthened, that might add even more realism.

If someone were able to do this, it would be great. Also, a nice addition might be different levels of magnification based on material(I have seen mods that adjust the amount of zoom provided by ;Eagle-Eye'). A cheap easy to make glass would give a lower magnification than one made with better materials(iron versus ebony for the body, better gems needed for better lenses, etc.). It would be a very nice addition for anyone who doesn't want to level up archery just for this one perk.

I wonder if the blood spatters/trail could be incorporated into the 'footprints' mod somehow? Maybe when the DoT is applied the footprints being left turn red and have a different shape? Or perhaps any time that health is less than max, blood could be added to the decals left by 'footprints'? That would even be an interesting add-on for normal combat if your enemy(or you) tried to run away. Imagine leaving a blood-trail until you healed up...Of course, 'footprints' only work on snow at the moment, but I think there are plans to expand it to other terrain...

Nice ideas. If I might add, it would also be nice to have a dedicated 'hunting' bow or arrows. When shot, they could apply a low damage-time-affect with an infinite(or very long) duration, and each time the DoT ticks, it would cause a blood splash. I realize that this would be a terrible idea for general combat, but it would be great to be able to arrow a deer and then follow the blood to the dead deer some distance from the shot. It would be nice if critical hits would kill instantly, but any non-criticals would do much lower damage and require the prey to be tracked down. Definitely not sure if this would be possible tho...

Add my pleases to this. It would be great for anyone who isn't an archer.

I haven't been able to find any, but it would be nice to a see mod supplying some jewelry for the men of Skyrim. I was thinking of earrings made of claws, talons, feathers or combinations. Also, some matching necklaces and perhaps something more interesting than a simple bracer for the wrist spot. I just think it would be nice to see some more primitively designed options for the ranger/hunter types. Also, some arm torcs of a similar design or of beaten metal would be a great addition for those of us who go sleeveless. Thanks for reading.

I actually started a thread about this before I noticed that there was an active thread for requests. I apologize in advance for the double post: I was wondering if anyone knew of any mods that combined the chest of the executioner's armor with pants, perhaps like the lower part of the Thieves Guild armor? I think the black vest with the rings from the executioner's model with pants in a dark or light gray would make a nice looking set for an unarmored or light armor character. I am envisioning just the chest piece, a utilitarian belt, and pants...no skirting or fur trim. I have searched a couple thousand clothing and armor mods and have been unable to find this one. I even went so far as to try making it myself, but that didn't go very well. I need to learn, but I am having trouble picking it up just from reading. If anyone has seen something like this, or has the knowledge to create it, I would be most grateful.
