ElementalParadox Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think it would be really cool to have a mod that adds "wayshrines" to the game (like in the Elder Scrolls Online), which are scattered through the world, and that replace fast travel. The way these would work is kind of like a standing stone in that when you find it, you activate it and it gets added to a special map. The mod would add a power that when activated brings up a modified map that shows only the wayshrines you have found and activated. You then pick the one you want to travel to, are forced into third person where an effect is displayed, and are teleported to your destination (with no in-game time delay). This could also potentially double as an alternate death penalty-style mod where you tie your soul to the shrine to keep you tethered to nirn (kinda like Harry Potter horcruxes :P), and when you die you get sent to the nearest one, with all of your progress intact, but you might get a debuff for a while while your body "re-adjusts" the the land of the living. So yeah... that's my idea. :PIf anybody would make this that'd be awesome, but tips/help on how to make this myself would be great too. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElementalParadox Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Btw i don't think i'd need any new models/meshes because of the totem thing that bethesda used in testing (forget what its called :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDude Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 A couple of "wayshrines" could be scattered throughout the wilderness; they should be IN the wild rather than anywhere near anything civilized. They'd be inactive by default and to activate them you need to make a sacrifice, that way not everyone can just use these things. To be able to activate it you need to have HP, MP, SP above a certain amount. While activating it your HP, MP, SP get damaged 100 points each (or increase/decrease the number to whatever). The "wayshrines" wouldn't just teleport you to to a different one, they teleport you to a different plane (a small room, a plane of oblivion with no alignment, a tiny one). The first time you activate a "wayshrine" and try to teleport here, you'd bee greeted by the sight of several dead (not undead or ghost) adventurers and some unfriendly dremoras (that's why only a few can use these wayshrines). The dremoras are NOT respawning, they spawn only when you activate a wayshrine that's been inactve (so only once per wayshrine). After all of them are activated, no more dremoras spawn. While in the mini-plane of oblivion you're presented with "gates" that represent shrines on nirn, walk through and you teleport to its shrine, but to be able to teleport there you first have to activate it on nirn, until then the gates are sealed. Meshes for the gates could be the oblivion gate ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
