LE reincarnation

[kingdark]

I had this idea by the mod that let's you 'take over' any character you desire. It's vaguely similar and I think that something was mentioned along the lines I'm thinking.

 

Anyway, the basic idea is that when you die. That's it. Goodby whatever character you chose/made. HOWEVER you aren't dead. There could be a custom message or something at least.

 

Basically, you wake up in an entirely different location, in a different body and possibly (the first maybe?) a different gender.

 

The dragon born can't run from his responsibilities that easily that he can escape in death. Whenever he dies, he'll wake up as a different person with the person that he takes over dying in his place. or she.

 

I don't know how hard this could be or if it is even possible, but I've seen things being done that I could've sworn would be impossible so I'm not saying it's impossible.

 

Character stats wise that would be hard to do I think. To keep the game from breaking, the character's stats should carry through with some penalties, like losing all items, losing all saved up dragon souls and possibly losing all saved up perks. I think that even the magical/stamina/health bars should change depending on which character you reincarnate as. Also, the character you are reincarnating as should definitely not be a character that has important quests to give. Of course that can be worked around with by making a duplicate of the character.

 

Since the player will change clothes, then chances are that the identical looks won't even be noticed.

 

What do the pro's think about this?

Possible?

Impossible?

Bad idea?

Good idea?

[SeraphimKensai]

its definitely an interesting concept.

 

I'm assuming your old body would be left then where it died so you could go loot it and get back the stuff you need, say like the Golden Claw so you can finish Bleak Falls Barrow?

That would be possible yes. Perhaps thing like the breezehome can be reset since the old owner (you) died?

Still, though I would have thought that it would have gotten more replies. Is this an original suggestion or has a variation of it already been suggested half a dozen times?

Didn't you read my first post? That's what I said, where I got the idea from. I didn't refer to the mod by exact name, but I did describe it enough I think.

 

But the reincarnation part, where you die and wake up as another... Is it possible or not?

[Sumyjkl]

It should be possible.

You could just wait until the player gets to 1hp or take enough damage to die in one hit (including kill animations) and then reset them to 100% health and reset their stats (you can do all this in the console, so it's possible). Then all you have to do is change the character's appearance.

I wouldn't have an idea where to begin.

I swear theres a Mod like this, or it was just another Request Thread like yours witch is a good idea

I'd say it was probably request thread.

 

As the idea is somewhat similar to "Doctor who" and time lord regeneration thingy. (AFAIK, I've never watched the series myself)

Seems cool, id definitely be up for this. Though I could've sworn a mod did something like this except it didnt reset who you were exactly.
