Konahrik's Accoutrements - Dragon Priest Forge Update

[edhelsereg]

I'm excited to announce the next update for Konahrik's Accoutrements will introduce a new dungeon, Revakheim.

Revakheim is the home of the Dragon Forge where all the Dragon Priest gear was created.

You can only access the forge by going back in time (similar to the Wooden Mask in Labyrinthian).

I would like to hear what you guys want out of Dragon Priest crafting. A few question I'm wrestling with are:

What should be the quality of craftable DP gear?

Should pauldrons be an option with the new forge or should they remain exclusive to Konahrik and Miraak?

Also I'm thinking about eliminating the Scrolls of Abjuration and curses.

Please take the poll and post your ideas and/or concerns.

I love the curses/scrolls. I think it's a really great idea and helps set this mod apart from others that add new gear/boss loot. I'd be sad to see it gone. I can understand people's frustrations over having to find/craft a scroll though.

 

I like pauldrons being exclusive to Miraak and Konahrik, but it's a minor issue for me either way.

 

I also think it makes sense for the quality to be on par with dragon/daedric, though I can also see how that's a little overpowered and wouldn't mind a slight drop.

 

And I just posted this on the mod page, but a mask+robes for Vahlok is my #1 want from this mod. If you have the ideas and time to spare for it.

Thank you for your comments.

 

I will also be introducing generic DP robes this update, and Vahlok will get a unique version of these, but he won't be receiving a mask.

 

At one point, I was planning on adding a blessing effect o ward off DP spells for the Abj Scrolls, and something similar for Vahlok, but this is not something easily done in the CK. I may still be able to achieve this through scripting.

Anyone interested in testing out the new update?

I really like the sound of this new Dragon Forge idea you're cooking up, it certainly helps to fit with the nature of recreating such ancient and powerful artifacts of the Dragon Priests and it makes more sense to use something like that rather than Alvor's dinky forge. :wink: As for the questions in the polls, I'll add in my opinion for each one along with a vote.

 

Quality of Dragon Priest robes

They're fine as they currently are with the dragon/daedric quality. One thing that would be helpful is if in the next update the player will be able to change the armor types from light to heavy or to cloth for pure mage characters - Having heavy armor for melee oriented priest robes like Raghot and Hevnoraak is perfectly fine but someone might prefer Otar's malachite robes to be light instead of heavy.

 

Pauldrons on Dragon Priest robes

I would like if all the Dragon Priest robes came with pauldrons but if I may be picky, I'd like for the eagle pauldrons to remain exclusive to Konahrik and Miraak. For the other sets, I'd like it if their pauldrons would be identical to the ones that are found on the original Dragon Priest outfit just like this. That way the robes will be almost identical to the kind that the undead priests wear while Konahrik and Miraak maintain their unique looks.

Abjuration Scrolls and curses

At first I'd be all for doing away with going on a scavenger hunt for those pesky scrolls but ever since it became possible to craft them as well as finding a tome that taught you the Abjuration spell itself, it's not that big of an issue anymore. I voted to keep them but if you decided to get rid of it, I'd be perfectly fine with that as well.

 

A bit bummed to see no special mask for Vahlok but I'm also happy to see that he'll be getting something special to set him apart from other Dragon Priests, not to mention generic craftable robes. Maybe Vahlok could get a maskless hood or something.

So here's an update on the update.

 

- I am adding new sets and masks on the light armor spectrum (including a more classic moonstone and glass).

 

- All dragon priests will now drop random parts of a light armor set (minus the mask, which can be crafted).

 

- Abjuration scrolls are staying, and now when cast, they cure disease and give you a new blessing.

 

- Pauldrons will be exclusive to Konah and Miraak (the main reason is to maintain game balance and exclusivity).

The new update sounds awesome! The addition of the new light armor will go well with this mod and a new forge and dungeon... YAY. Also the new random drops that you can get from the dragon priests will be fun. I've been following this mod since it's first release and can't wait for this!!! :smile:

Bump! :)

I definitely can't wait to see what's new to this mod. Though I'm now dealing with a idiotic ISP who cut us off for no reason. x.x Whenever you release this, I wanna see what more you can do with this mod. It is absolutely incredible! :cool:

What about a dragon priest sword that is simular to the Dragon Priest Dagger in style and color to go with all this new gear?
