LE "Hitman Style" Skyrim?

[KleanZlate]

Hey there!

I was wondering if it'd be possible create a mod for Skyrim that's based on the Hitman series. I don't mean having a pair of silverballers so you can go around shooting people but having missions where you could apply Hitman style tactics. It would still feel like Skyrim of course. A bit like The Dark Brotherhood on steroids :)

 

Each mission would have a target or targets that are well guarded. It would be essential to get bigger rewards for completing the missions in a particular way. Not alerting guards, silent kill, accident and so on. This would need some new abilities:

 

1. Accidents. Falling rocks, trap doors, poisoned food & drink and maybe a way to rig alchemy stations to create explosions or poison clouds.

 

2. Disguises. The ability to wear a uniform that won't attract guards attention. This could be guards armor, servant uniforms etc. I believe this is possible in the Requiem mod but I haven't tried it. Hitman Absolution had a 'Blend in' feature that some people hated and others loved. Maybe if there was a spell or ability that would allow you to blend in when confronted with someone from a group you're trying to disguise at. This would drain your magicka and/or your stamina and assure that this ability isn't too overpowering.

 

3. Hiding bodies. This would mean that if you leave a body laying around and a guard finds it all hell breaks loose. Would be nice to introduce containers that you could stuff bodies into.

 

Each mission would need it's own location and I don't know if it'd possible to use existing ones or if it'd be necessary to build new ones. Then there'd be guard controls and a target that has a routine that involves opportunities for accidents.

 

So, any modders out there who think this is doable and exciting? What do you guys think?

I've always disliked the stealth system in Elder Scrolls games. I haven't played Hitman since Blood Money, but I remember how challenging it was. Really made you stop and think through your approach. I'd absolutely love to see some Hitman elements.

 

Hiding bodies, if nothing else, would be a BIG plus. I mean, there's ONE quest in the Dark Brotherhood questline that encourages you to hide a body out of sight...only one. It would be much more immersive, and more realistic, if you had to hide EVERY body.

 

Disguises should be implemented all around Skyrim. Maybe to prevent hostility, there could be a few dialogue lines, each corresponding to the following sets of armour:

 

Guard Armour, for hiding in plain sight

Hide/Fur armour, for blending into groups of bandits

Penitus Oculatus Armour, for easier access to certain aspects of the Dark Brotherhood

Shrouded Armour, in case you want to take down the Dark Brotherhood from the inside out

 

And I'm sure there's more fields it could be applied to.

 

In any case, I'll be following this thread to see what comes of it. ANY new stealth system would be great, be it Hitman-esque, Metal Gear-esque, or what have you. I don't play stealth characters in Elder Scrolls games because of how bad I personally feel the stealth system is
