Yamcakes Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Well. Oblivion is my first gander into the TES world, and I've only just come to realize my first mod idea is probably not very lore-friendly. I think it best to consult the fans. http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu93/Freedomward_Dove/Mod%20Thingies/stats.jpg I have the females more arcane orientated, and the males melee orientated.This is just an odd personal prefference, but I want to know what you think they should be. Evened out equal stats, or something else entirely. I'll add cost to the spells, or have them summon a weaker spiderling as a trade off. I want the finished product to be balanced. :'P http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu93/Freedomward_Dove/Mod%20Thingies/lore.jpg The name and description I wrote I obviously pulled out of my ass. Help me write a better description, and suggest a good name for them! http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu93/Freedomward_Dove/Mod%20Thingies/spiderdaedraheadshot.png Heads. Top is male, bottom female. I'm keeping to white/grey/black pupilless eyes. I see spider daedra in too many odd lightings. In oblivion and the red surroundings they look pale as heck. They have a slightly more human complexion in neutral light. I went for an in-between shade. Good, bad? Accurate? Also, what kind of hairstyles do you think I should release with the race. I'll be re-packaging them and releasing them with the mod, so people don't have to go out of their way to download other mods. But credit will be given where due! http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu93/Freedomward_Dove/Mod%20Thingies/fineryquestion.jpg I'll release it seperately from the race, since it requires shivering isles and other stuff, but I am also working on Spider Daedra re-textures of a lot of the in-game clothing. Not just based on the black and red theme, but clothing made from "daedra silk", it'll have more value, and some still be enchanted and whatnot. I have no plans for any quests or dialogue, other than changing the attack/hit voice clips with the spider daedra clips. Things I need from you faithful fans: 1. Critisism on what I have so far 2. Things I should add/change to be lore-friendly 3. Any ideas you have or would like to see in this, lore-friendly or not 4. Images of Male Spider Daedra. (I've found but one teeny-tiny image of a male spider daedra from morrowind, and it's not enough to use or base things upon.) :'P Things I need from you modellers: Not exactly important, but would be very convenient to me if answered. :'P 1. I am not skilled at editing nifs, and having a hard enough time seperating pieces from the spider daedra.Would I be able to eliminate the unwanted green region in the picture above, by simply erasing it, leaving transparency in it's place and saving it and the normal map as I would a PNG? Of course still as a DDS file. 2. I am going to have an ability to transform into a spider daedra at will. Having males as part of my race, I didn't think it fair to have them sport breasticles when they change! I'm wondering if it would be better to use a morrowind model and edit the texture, or edit the upper half altogether of the oblivion one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamcakes Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thank you for the encouragement!I am making this mod partly to give back to the modding community, and I really want to know what the community thinks, so it will be well-recieved, and on-par with what other people have brought to it.

Orcbrother Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Dude thats an awesome idea. I hope you finish it. What I suggest is you make a beta version suggsting only use of the female so you at least get that out. as others enjoy playing a spider daedra chances are thell be willing to pitch in an effort. you realy should do it man! post please! this looks like an awesome race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl055 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 is it possible to make a spider daedra race using the vanilla deadra models? I'd love for that. I'm also looking forward to spriggans ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
