Bruttilus Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I know diddily nothing about modding. But that didn't prevent me from coming up with some great (IMO) mod ideas, so I thought I'd share one and maybe someone might be intrigued and could pick it up. And here it is: The Hulk- I got this mod idea after I watched the recent movie this summer (awesome movie by the way.). My idea was that after hearing of a rumor in a city (I was thinking Ald-Ruhn for some reason) about strange lights outside of town our character goes to investigate. What he finds is a meteor, and on closer inspection he/she gets blasted by light (gamma rays) and is immediately attacked by bandits, he/she blacks out and wakes up to find that the bandits are dead. From here on out our characters have what I call a "anger meter" and when something gets our character angered he/she gets "anger points". Two things can get our hero angry: One is by rude NPC's (When the npc say's something rude the character will get a certain number of points based on what is said.). The second is by getting hurt which depends on how badly you got hurt and what hurt you (Falling off a ledge wouldn’t get much points versus getting knocked over by a certain Bosmer in Mournhold.) Two lose anger points you simply stand around or take a nap to "calm down". If you dont calm down you will go over the meters maximum (I was thinking ten), then you will turn into the Hulk. My idea for turning into the Hulk was that your characters body will be switched for a Hulk version of him. Along with the new look the Hulk will be able to regenerate health and fatigue very rapidly (think thousands of points a second), health, fatigue, strength, endurance, speed, agility, acrobatics, hand-to-hand (which should damage health instead of fatigue.), athletics, and unarmored are greatly fortified. The Hulk will get angrier as long as he keeps hitting things and being attacked wich will make him grow bigger and all those stat will fortify more and more (there should be a limit though.) There should be a quest attached to the Hulk (like some guy tries to steal your abilities and you must stop him.) This is just an idea of what a Hulk mod could be like and to help plan out the mod. No one has to follow it step by step or even at all, I just ask to be acknowledged for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmac Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 1) Perhaps a more Vvardenfell-type Hulk. I don't think a big green thing running around sticks to the story too well. 2) Thousands of points a second? That is ridiculously unbalanced. To me, even 10 points is too much.3) I don't think it is possible to add that 'anger meter' to the HUD.4) You would have to make a long and complex global script for making certain actions and sayings raise that meter for anger. 5) Keep in mind, there has to be a weakness to every power-being as well. Use werewolves as an example- they can't pick stuff up, or walk in the day in wolf form, as well as a constant risk of being uncovered as a beast. Perhaps that 'hulk' character could be unable to communicate with NPC's, or pick stuff up. 6) You will have to make several models for this 'hulk' if you want it to grow as that meter rises.

Perhaps that 'hulk' character could be unable to communicate with NPC's, or pick stuff up. 6) You will have to make several models for this 'hulk' if you want it to grow as that meter rises.1. What do you mean by a more Vvardenfall type Hulk? Mind clarifying? The Hulk is supposed to be big and green and kinda of out of place, I was thinking that the Hulk would look slightly different for each humanoid race though like for example a Bosmer Hulk would be smaller and a Orc Hulk would look like a Warcraft Orc on steroids. The beast races would look very different, I was thinking that the Argonian Hulk would be like a Mini Godzilla complete with spines and the Khajjit would be huge muscular cat with really long claws (Probably wouldnt be green though.). In other words no two Hulks are alike. 2. Maybe that is unbalancing (ok it is). But we're talking about the Hulk here, he regenerates very rapidly. I'd rather stay true to the comic books then worry about unbalanceing the game. 3. I wasn’t thinking there would be a physical meter, just internal. 4. No argument here. 5. I agree there, although the Hulk can talk, NPC's should run on sight or attack you. Also the inventory should be inaccessible as the Hulk (He is nearly naked after all). Another idea I had was that when you transform all your armor would be completely broken (As in durability at zero.) and your clothes rip to nothing except for the pants (I dont want to see him in that bikini underwear.). How about if you transform in front of people your marked as a threat and attacked on sight, then you must live a life on the lam like Bruce Banner did. The Hulk should not only be a great power but a dammable curse as well. 6. Again no argument there. So do you think this might be a good idea or what?

JeC Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 make kinda like an ash-hulk turn gray instead of green(the first original hulk was grey). and maybe being the hulk could be a kinda disese but cant be cured by jus and altar or spell. and make quest sum1 makes a cure but it takes maybe like one whole month or season, and if u try to sleep you have dreams and your sleep is interupted.

The Mantis Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 If we are going to add movies to mods. Then lets get some horror movies. Imagine. You ask a guard about latest rumors. He says that there have been terrible murders lately.Happening around balmora. You investigate and start finding bodies. But by the time you get there its always to late. Then you start having nightmares. And more and more people disappear. Then you find the killer and defeat them. The mission ends. But then they come back over and over. Stronger and faster every time. It never ends. Soon they are insanly strong. And you start running. Your sleep is always disturbed by them trying to kill you. The only safe places are chapels and temples. Think how scary it would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruttilus Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Wow I didnt know the original Hulk was grey. Maybe the Dunmer Hulk could be grey in order to make it more unique. I didnt think about a disease but that could work. And the dreams would be neat to, like at the first time you sleep after your hit with gamma rays you get a dream showing man's primal nature (like the caveman dreams Bruce kept haveing in the first episode of the Hulk Live Action Series.). It shouldnt be cured though since it's on a genetic level and the Hulk should be a burden that the character must live with for the rest of his life. Why would you want to cure it anyways? Ok for one thing the Hulk Mod wouldn't be a movie mod since it was a comic before that. But I like the idea of horror movie characters in a mod, I even thought of a Hellraiser mod which I'll tell about if anyones interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr.10w30 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 i would have to agree on that horror movie thing because I think it would be cool to be attacked by Jason Voorhees. Or waking up and the city is overrun by flesh eating zombies like from night of the living Dead. Or walking around late at night you get jumped by Jack the Ripper. wait maybe you wake up and its late at night and the FOG is so thick you can't see anything and you hear footsteps in the distance but you don't know who it is and holy $@#$ you are surrounded by rotting pirates. Here were some of my ideas I always wanted to see all this in the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
