Yao Guai pet with Leather Armor

[narnian_faun]

This request has three parts:

1) Yao Gaui Pet (*not a dogmeat replacer)

2) Armor of some sort for it

3) Possibly rideable

 

 

1) I would REALLY like a pet yao guai, but dogmeat is dead so a replacer won't help. It needs to be a totally new follower.

Let me repeat, NOT a Dogmeat REPLACER.

I think it would be nice to just be able to find a trained one, like one that was owned by a scavenger, or one that you have to win over by doing things like giving it food and stuff. Like winning a conversation with a character.

That in itself should be easy enough i imagine, now to the awesome portion of my request:

 

 

2) I think it would be freaking SWEET if someone made a set of Yao Gaui Leather Armor for a pet one. Just like the Dogmeat Leather Armor mod. You could even try sticking one of the Super-mutant metal helms on it. Maybe make versions you can upgrade, like scrap armor, plated leather armor, and metal armor.

3) This is the lowest on my priorities in terms of what i'd like to see because first i would just like a pet one, but if the yao guai were also rideable, that would be the last bit of epic i could handle before dying of an eyegasm. I know a rough mod for rideable animals was created, but it had bad animation or something. But if we can have a rideable motorcylce mod, I know someone can do this.

---Extras---

 

-I think it would be really funny and realistic if you had to learn how to ride it.

Make there be a certain percentage chance that you will fall off if you have low agility or something.

(Use the "knock-down" animation or something similar. Maybe you fall and the screen goes black like you blacking out)

You could do things to improve your riding ability like riding it often, raising your agility, or making a rough saddle.

 

- You could find a Native American character who is old and dying. He gives you his bear and gives you lessons about it.

You can do things for him to receive more training.

At the completion of your training you get a Perk to improve your riding ability. (Call it "BEAR-BACK Rider" haha)

 

- Have the ability to inject him with Psycho for increased ferocity

 

- And the last extra i thought of, and i know this would be difficult, or maybe not, but the ability to fight while riding the bear would be fantastic. Maybe script it so that the bear won't be aggressive while you ride it, but you can still go into combat on his back. (The mod Deadly Reflex for Oblivion allowed you to do that while on horseback. If that helps any)

As far as rideing it, I don't really think you can do much better than the Rideable Animals mod. Because unlike a motorcycle, which is also very rough and has completly unrealistic physics, animals require animations, and the game engine isn't made to have "rideable" animations and such...

 

I may be wrong, because I am not really and expert on this stuff, but I don't think you are going to get good rideing animations no matter what you do... It would be cool if I was wrong, but I doubt it...

 

 

 

But anyways, I want to eventually add something along the lines of your idea to my mod. The problem is that I am a 3D model and texture maker, and I don't script stuff or make companions in the GECK...

 

 

But the whole idea on my mod is that on your farm you can raise different animals that you buy from the Livestock Store that I am makeing. So, you can buy anything from Brahmin to Centisheep (new model I will be makeing) or you can buy Yao Gui or Mirlurk. The Yao Gui and Mirlurk will be smaller when you buy them (just have to use "setscale") and after you take care of them for a while they become big enough for you to either have them protect your house or the town, or you can bring them along with you as companions.

 

 

The guy that is working on this said I can use the basis of his Slave mod and switch it out for Yao Gui, but I don't have the scripting ability to do that. But if anyone wants to help that would be cool. But the extent of what I can do is just make stores or barns or whatever else is required.

 

 

I also think it would be cool if you had a fishtank, and you just bought Mirlurk eggs that you can put in your fishtank, and it would have to grow in their untill it was big enough to go out with the rest of the animals on your farm.

 

 

 

But anyways, if you want to see this mod that I am talking about, it is found here. http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=150722

 

 

And if anyone wants to make this and let me use it in my mod I can build you something in 3d as a reward
