Battle bard / Bard Overhaul

Recommended Posts

Hey there,

 

I'm currently working on a mod (early alpha) that will make becoming a bard more beneficial to the player. The idea is to create an entirely new battle system based on instruments and songs.

For example:

 

Singing some line or playing some notes on a lute / flute will
- put nearby people to sleep (Much like the knock out system from Sneak Tools)
- paralyse people
- summon certain creatures (making custom ones, most very lore-friendly, some (optional) less.
- attract a handful of animals that will fight for the player

This project will also alter/ add some quests at the bard college.

I've got the instrumentals covered, but I'm currently looking for both male and female voice-actors / singers.
The basic idea is to get different voice types the player can choose from.

I myself will probably take care of the female soprano.

Will post more information later, but to the people interested: feelf ree to pm me!

Very interesting, I can't help you (no musical talent whatsoever) but I'm glad someones expanding on the whole bard thing. People talk about the forsworn being unfinished, but the bards were just... sad.

Love the idea, but take a look at these before you spend too much time and effort re-inventing the wheel:

 

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31680//

 

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9375/

 

 

They both work really well together.

 

But don't be discouraged; if you could do something that complements them both, EG new songs for the first and new Charm/Illusion effects for the second, go for it! I'll use all three.

 

Fleshing out the Bard College quests is REALLY needed, as well. Being able to attend lessons and things, more like the Mage College, was sort of planned for Vanilla but never implemented.

Hey, if you're still working on this project, I've got 4 years of professional voice lessons under my belt and a great mic/recording equipment, and would love to do some vocal work, voice acting included.
