I hate bulls***, so here's the deal. I want to take Elder Scrolls/Skyrim and put it into a different game (not to the extent that the Skywind mod goes, merely focusing on the atmosphere and mechanics), one that has extremely fun melee mechanics, but lacks native magic mechanics. The game? Melee Battlegrounds (the kickstarter just started, but I've been lucky enough to have my hands on the game prior to the release of the SDK). It's a spiritual successor to the Mount & Blade: Warband mod cRPG. Unlike with the M&B engine, with M:BG you can change everything. You can add magic and custom skeletons + animations without breaking collision detection, as well as maintain the large worldmaps that ES games have. This means the above idea is realistic, albeit challenging — there's no question about that, it's going to be a lot of work. So, if you're interested in merging this with skyrim gameplay or simply want more information, let me know. You can either post in this thread, or send me a forum pm (where you can also request my steam, if it's easier for you), and we can talk in further detail. Here's a M:BG YT Video. For anyone concerned, I'm a long time Nexus user (2008), but as I'm a Warband modder (note the low amount of warband mods featured here), I use external forums.
