Asentiah Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hello, and thanks for taking your time in reading this request. I was thinking the other day, on how much I miss my Khajjit Monk from Oblivion, and my Argonian Spellsword from Morrowind, so I was searching on beast races thrueout the Nexus, and managed to find the mod that adds the female only Kristal, now I liked that, but the head was too large to my liking, and the fur, a tad too unrealistic, even if I still would give it a 10/10. What my request is, if a modder out there (God I do hope Slof does modding for Fallout 3 as he had awesome beast races back for morrowind) could remake the Khajjit or Argonian for Fallout3? With a possibly more human-sized head, mayhaps with a race version that has a long snout so it looks more bestial, and one that has it more flat, but still have labial-lines and the like that would give the illusion of a feline/lizard appearance. Now, to me personally, tails aren't an absolete requirement, but aleast bigger (but possibly not elephant large) ears for the Khajjit and more chiseled hands(paws) for the females atleast. Whilst, for the lizards, a tail would be absolutly required, swell as, maybe, the entire two rolls of teeth to be sharper and longer (but at a reasonable size to avoid clipping with the face itself). Speaking of teeth, the Khajjit should have larger canines and sharp teeth inbetween the canines. Custom eyes and ears aren't an absolete requirement, but there are a few nice feline eyes I have seen in a mod out there, mayhaps if one was to ask permission to use them for the Khajjit? As for the Argonian, I doubt anything but lizard eyes will go, so that might need additional modding.Lipsink/voice: Not really required, for me atleast, I don't plan on using the race for any NPCs, but purely for myself, ofcourse, if the modder(s) that would be as nice as to comply with my request, would endouse it, and feel like lip-sink and voice are a requirement, I could voice-act for the male Khajjit or Argonian (even tho it would need some work with a program to sound absolete or atleast closer to the original one).Hair: Well, I would feel it a nice addition if the Khajjit could get some long, or tribal hairs (those from Oblivion would do perfectly infact, if one could import them.) Same would go for Argonians and they're fins/horns.General looks for the races:Khajjit:Well, I was planning on requesting a Cheetah toned fur/face for the Khajjit.Example: http://c2.api.ning.com/files/E*HqGWAplIln-...KZb/cheetah.jpg <- I can't help but resist that aesthetic beuty those animals have, for a khajjit-tone they are by far my favorite.If however, that is not a possibility, or other options are desired, one could go for a bengal tiger, either albino or the more common striped orange version.Example: http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lg3734+brother...iger-poster.jpgArgonians:For argonians a tegu lizard scale theme would be great, I think it would add a great beuty to those rough creatures.Example: http://www.richard-seaman.com/Reptiles/Tri...tFacingLeft.jpgOfcourse, optionally if Tegu is not possible, or the dev(s) that would accept my request desire to keep it close as possible to the original themery from Morrowind or Oblivion, they could go for these:Examples: http://www.morrowind-mod.com/imagesmr/Sil/Heads.jpg <- Morro scales.http://www.loggods.com/pestilence/Cyrexa/s...ries1/wtf13.jpg <- Ob scale.An absolete side to my request: Besides the more smooth sized heads, I would absolutly -LOVE- to see high definition fur/scales, not something that looks brushed out quickly in Paint, adding no aesthetic appeal or sense of eyecandy to the exterior of the race.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Optional stuff: If the dev/modder(s) overlooking this request, have chosen that they might be persuaded to make a furry race, and not a scaley, It would be really fine, if they preffer to go for a Fox/Badger/Cat(Domesticated or non-large wild ones, atleast fur and vision wise) or if they don't preffer feline, they could go for a Gazelle.^-- That is absolutly based on things I would like (And I'm sure that many other past Oblivion/Morrowind players that have chosen the furry/scaley races, would also agree) to see a an ingame race.-----------------------------------Companions: Mayhaps a male and female companion for the race(s), based on Sharing and Carin Companions?-----------------------------------I have many plans for clothing/armor and quite a few melee/fist-weapons to go in conduction for a more ... tribalesque/medievalish style for either of these races. This is absolutly optional, if the modder(s) don't want to be bothered with that, It would be fine with me.-----------------------------------Resolution/Polygon intensity: Well, I'm sure there are many of those that don't yet have powerful PCs out there that might not go very well with a extremely detailed, but for that quite heavy for framerate/FPS and loading time wise. So, optionally, but mayhaps for a good cause, there should be a High-Res and Low-Res version of whatetver the moder(s) choose to make as a race from my above posted idea.-----------------------------------Credits and official stuff: Ofcourse, I only would like to be kindly included in a readme or some such that I was the person that came up with the idea, if it is realised, which I concider absolutly futile, to the honor that should be granted to the modder(s) themselves, which would ofcourse get all thats due respect wise.-----------------------------------Mature stuff: Fallout 3 -IS- a 17+ rated, mature game, and there are a few mods out there (mostly female) that add nudity. If possible (No perverse side-thoughts, realism is realism, and not everyone likes to wear shirts and boxers, or sweaters and knickers, SPECIALLY beast-races, remember the Morrowind Khajjit/Argonians, they were topless/bottomless.) But ofcourse, I know that there are those out there that would frown on nudity, so ofcourse, this (personally) required addition to any of those races, should have an option for nude and an option for covered. (Diffrent ESPs(ESMs) perhaps?) So, that way, nobody is offended, and the diffrent types of people get what they want.-----------------------------------Last, but not least: Optional perks that are to be gained upon exit from the Vault 101 after char generation? For instance, water-breathing for the Argonians, and toggle-able night(dark)vision (There are a few mods out there that add items that can do that, surely a permission asked and given would allow for those effects to be ... "pimped" into a perk instead.) And ofcourse, sharper vision/ear-range/smell, in form of additional perception/agility or more accuarcy/damage in V.A.T.S? And ofcourse, I personally think a feline race should have a base boost to they're jumps' height and run speed, or atleast the run speed, whilst the scaley race, a resistance to radiation/poisoning and swifter swimming or atleast faster running.----------------------------------- Thats all, laid out fresh from my mind whitout no former forethought, I do hope, that someone -is- able to bring light into my request, as I am sure that, not only I, but many others would be eager for such a race for some versatility in they're game. I know that this request, would surely take some time, unless the modder(s) have alot of time in which case it would be completed faster. I know it is not as simple as it sounds, and that making a race is a hard thing that requires concentration and skill, so it doesn't end up as a half-complete clip-piece with a major ammount of bugs/glitches/clipping problems.So, by all means, whoever takes this challenge up, feel free to take asmuch time as you need to make the race, but do something on it atleast once a week, so the idea doesn't die off.Whoever accepts this request, please post here, and get in touch with me, so we can discuss details (if needed) and stay in touch so we can make sure things are going well. Once again, thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxieboy Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well, if you don't mind a wolf-ish race, there's a male-only Wolf Race included in RocketLombax's race pack. Just search Lombax on the main site and you're good to go. I personally prefer that over Oblivion races as it looks more polished and well-made. Plus the author is planning on adding tails, felines, canines, vulpines, and etc. to his pack and eventually a complete NPC replacement mod turning NPCs into his added races. I dunno if that helps, but it's the closest thing you're getting to a Khajiit or Argonian so far. It'd also take a LOT of time to completely remake those races from scratch, and if an author were to use ANY resources from oblivion in the mod itself it wouldn't be able to be hosted here. Most modders just can't be bothered to spend this kind of effort on the whim of a single person. I agree that AlienSlof's mods would be well appreciated in the FO3 community. I myself loved her Goth Shop addons. Good luck to you though, I may be (And hope I am) wrong about modders not wanting to use the effort on your request.

Asentiah Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Ah, well, wolf is alright. But I will still keep my hopes up high. I am perfectly aware that it is a quite time requisitive endveour, my request. But than again, as I said, I am willing to wait. But if what you say is true, and that author is planning on adding other races and ect. than that should suffice. I'll go give that wolf race a try right away.

phantomshotgun Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 wolfish male only? no wolf girls?! D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxieboy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 wolfish male only? no wolf girls?! D:His mod's still a WIP, but he's going to add more races and female counterparts for all races eventually, especially since he's planning on a complete NPC replacer to make EVERYONE an animal-character =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithlordgoku Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I like to see a bast like race(Khajjit) would be nice to have a better hand to hand stats from the start too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trandoshan Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Creating a Human-animal hybrid makes quite a bit of sense in the FO3 scape. All of the DNA-Twisting and such. After all, isn't that what a Mirelurk is? At least the Mirelurk king is practically there anyways. Damned mudcrabs just got bigger, and a hell of a lot smarter.

Bobafett Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Honestly, I really think this is a must, since Fallout and Oblivion are like brothers. It would be a nice tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
