Preistofship Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Now I love skyrim as much as the next guy and have been playing it since the game has come out and have endorsed my fair share of mods. I have never enjoyed companions, I have played oblivion without them and skyrim without them. I feel like they are a distraction, a nuisance, and even the "stealth" companions a blunder to stealth characters. The prospect of having a bird companion however both intrigues and excites me. Falconry has been needed in skyrim since its creation and while I would do it myself alas I suck at programming and don't think for a second I haven't tried!This needs to happen!

Preistofship Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) What I need to know is, is this even possible? Edited June 25, 2013 by Preistofship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I've seen a few 'sit on your shoulder and do nothing' bird companions in the past. They don't 'hunt' though which is what it sounds like you're looking for. I suppose it would be possible, though it would require a new model and appropriate animations as well as heavy scripting.

Jokerine Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Not to mention retexturing - if you want to use the model of the hawk, the textures are horribly low-res, and the model too, haha! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel4 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 thats what i have always wanted too... will go perfectly with archer type. I'm hoping someday it will be, it will add so much atmosphere, reminds me some old games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preistofship Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Well I can hope I guess. Maybe some Mega programmer will come along and write the script from the ground up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglehawkAves Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Sorry to inform you It's not yet in my ability to do this... I did start to learn how to mod, but I still suck. Anyway, I always wanted this as well, as you can see in this topic, in which I explain my huge love for birds, falconry and archery! http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1022690-huge-idea-for-a-huge-bird-themed-mod-read-this-it-might-be-awesome/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tritonforge Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 There's a animal companion mod that introduces a custom fox and it hunts. Not sure how the script works, maybe it just generates random inventory for you to take; but that would work too. I was thinking about falconry mods too recently. Maybe have the falcon equipped as a shield item (left arm raised for falcon to rest on), on activation will unequip and fly up, begin skyrim "patrol" as vanilla hawks do, return after preset time with new inventory like rabbit haunches. Plenty of modders with ability to make a falcon mesh/texture and rig it.Only thing I don't know how difficult is creating the 'fly off arm to sky' and 'fly to arm from sky' animation.

Preistofship Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 All i would need is a bird that flys around behind me and occasionally attack a enemy maybe script on a spell. For instance have a falconer glove that when you use it the bird swoops down and attacks the target before swooping away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
