wazwolf Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Noticing mods like Pikachu as a pet and such, and wondering if someone might want to take a stab at Dark Souls monsters as creatures in Skyrim. Seems there are many nods to other games, with some being direct rip-offs. Fair Use can cover the nods. I'm particularly interested in the lore-friendly aspects of how the creatures look and can fit in. And also like the fact that someone would take creative liberties to change the looks too. (for instance, Knight of Thorns armor mod for Skyrim is a nice hint toward Dark Souls, but a little too direct as the dimensions are thin. Hard to picture a Skyrim skull fitting inside such a helmet)I could picture the giant mushroom monsters from Dark Souls as archmage-type casters. The fungi equivalent to a spriggan with a humorous look. Serious but comical. Fat evil mushrooms. I can see them as monsters, an NPC, a summon, and a companion. Waddling the whole time. But the main thought I was hopping a modder could go for was the giant Wolf with the sword. His name is Sif, and he holds the sword in his mouth. It would be nice to see if a modder was interested in combining that idea with Amaterasu from Okami and making something darkly Skyrim original. Thoughts?

chicky540 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 my advice would be to ask the dude that actually made the "knight of thorns" armor about it... what about sending him / her a pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazwolf Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 I don't think he does animations and scripts. I think it was only armors. My post is poorly written, since it is so broad. Mainly, I'd love Sif. Secondly, I request the mushroom monsters. Third, I request anything that might inspire a potential author. The rest of the post was just examples and ideas to inspire. I'm highly interested in playing around myself and trying to make a nice mod, but for the sake of time, it'd be better for anyone with know-how and interest to go running wild, however they saw fit. It'd take me a long time, since I'm barely scratching the surface and don't know anything about programming or making custom models and animations and scripting events. But couldn't hurt to ask the guy, especially if he already might have interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaozOfKalameet Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Scrounging around really does help when it comes to finding Dark Souls Related Content. In fact, even though it's not a whole lot, I DID manage to find some things... Dark souls Bonefires MOD - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30290/? This is a really sweet mod, where it adds Bonfires to the Major Cities in Skyrim. Oh and also, you can offer Dragon souls to these Bonfires to "Kindle" them, and you can rest at them to gain "Estus flasks" the healing item from Dark souls Dark souls Elite Knight - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/22899/? This adds a whole new armor set into Skyrim. you can find this armor in a Sarcophogus in the Whiterun Tomb. This armor represents the "Elite Knight" from Dark souls (AKA, the one that's on most of Dark Souls concept art). Plust the "Crest Shield", "astora's Straight Sword", and the "Zweihander". Lagrie's Files - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/2230673/?tb=mods&pUp=1 This guy I found out has added a lot of recent Armors from Dark souls, where you'll have to kill the NPC enemies that are wearing them. I'd check these out. Funny thing is that he names these in a way where they're not too directly linked to Dark Souls. XD Sure these were mostly armors, but if I was to suggest something... Try adding a whole new dragon model into the game involving the Boss "Kalameet" from Dark souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
