LE Doppelganger Companion

[Tolerized]

How cool would it be to have a doppelganger companion?

He or she share the same skills, abilities, perk's and level's up with you in the same way with an optional ​weakness is that your vitality is halved.

 

I believe this would require a lot of scripting and to get passed voice acting you and your doppelganger communicate through telepathy because you are the same person.

Another cool feature would be to receive a quest from a courier to seek an ancient book from an anonymous contact to obtain the ability to summon your doppelganger.

 

question is though, can it be done? i hope so.

 

Good idea's:

This is a great idea!! You could have the spell "level up" or have new spells.

 

Level 1 - your shadow self jumps in to watch your back and fight with you.

Level 2 - your "clone self" can be a temporary follower.

Level 3 - full / permanent (until killed) clone that divides your health in half every time you create a new one.

This is done to an extent I believe in the Apocalypse Spell Package with a spell called Flame Twin or something. it doesn't last long but it makes a clone of you encircled in fire or such.

There was a way to this in the console in Oblivion as I recall?

I would be super interested in this if it could be made to look like your shadow on the ground that acts independently and will do its own damage. Your shadow would break apart from you and attack your target for like 10 seconds. I would THINK it could be done as simply as making a copy of your character and then making it invisible but keep the shadow of it on and then make your shadow turn off for the duration.

well, making a doppelganger companion last night i saw that you can make them summon-able.

This quest would make you learn the 2 spells needed to summon and banish your doppelganger.

we need scripts to do the following:

match health

reduce health by 50%

savepc (when book is read)

some script to apply the savepc (once book is read)

 

and a failsafe to be able to reset everything if you read the book again e.g showracemenu changes

 

For the hell of it this is what it should look like:http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/7472/9hz4.jpg

That brilliant, i shall implement this to my OP.

 

Its good that i see people liking this idea but, we still dont know if it can be done, we need to know if it is possible and we need a team.

something is telling me that this mod is script heavy, so we need a script master.

we also need someone whose good at making quest's too.

1. Everything is possible.

 

2. Skyrim already has a spell to conjure up characters like Fire Atronachs and ... that Ancient shrowded assassin guy. So this would be like that, but instead of a glowing transparent "spectral blue", the level 1 could be a semi transparent black shadow look. Level 2 looks more like you, but the colors are black and grey.

And then Level 3 is just a clone of your character.

 

And here is another idea - maybe the first two "shadow" characters can't be hit with arrows, (because they are shadows) but they are more vulnerable to light, and magic. So they don't last as long during the day. But at night time or indoors...

 

There is a mod called "Alternate Actors" and in that mod, you can take over and control another NPC and then your character becomes a follower. So maybe this mod could use some of that mod's scripting??

 

I'm basing all this on my absolutely ZERO experience. So keep in mind that I don't know anything and I'm really not even that bright to begin with. :)

 

Alternate Actors Mod: (warning this mod gave me a lot of crashes, and I ended up uninstalling it.) but still a cool concept though!

... I can't seem to access it right now - but I'm pretty sure that is the right name.
