xchainlinkkx99 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 There are two mods in mind (one which I thought existed and/or still does but I forgot the name of it.)I saw this video and was quite amazed at how out of touch archery is portrayed in modern times. Was wondering if someone or perhaps some people could wish to come up with a mod that uses such techniques. Perhaps added as a new skill that can be upgraded after level 100 Archery, with new animations showing how the unquivered arrows are held in the hand. Would think the mighty Dragonborn ought to be a master of archery, so thought this little addition may suit his roles better. Balance-wise may be of concern, but thought it would be fun to see in a video game. ===As for the other mod, I swore there was one that went like this; A mod that adjusts what the NPCs are doing after you wake up from a nap. In vanilla they are just continuing their animations and hell even dialogue/songs from right before you went to sleep. It's stupidly silly how they literally haven't moved an inch from where they were right as you took your nap. If anyone can tell in the thread what it is I would be thankful.Cheers!

Lives2DieAgain Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think it would be nice to have a lesser or greater power that allows you to reload or nock an arrow instantly. Doing so would allow you to shoot just as fast as you can click the mouse button. I think that would fit in nicely. In turn, other high leveled archers can do the same, not just the player. I support the idea. Just one question. How would one go about learning this? Is there a shot that would teach this as well as sell archery type items, or is there a quest (read: rite of passage for aspiring archers, male and female) that one would do to gain such a skill?

I think that it could be something like if you have x amount of skill in archery, you hear a rumor about ancient lost Bosmer Art of Speed Archery. You would go to the Drunken Huntsman (It feels right to me) and see an NPC who wouldn't interact with you until you had x amount of skill in archery and heard the rumor. They would send you on quest. What that quest is, i don't know. In return, he'd teach you the Greater Power (In the form of a book, like the black books can do). I say Greater Power because 'spam arrows kill more!'. If it's limited, then it can be used tactically and only when really needed. I have no skill in modding so I can't make this. Hopefully someone can. This is just my take on how it could happen. Hope it helps spur more ideas! Also, Bosmer art because well, archery.Thus, the book can be called that; The Bosmer Art of Speed Archery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when you first learn it I would imagine you would be able to speed shoot 2 or 3 arrows at a time before you're able to "reload." And as you progress you can hold up to ...say...6 arrows in a hand. Maybe the rumor is found in a book and during the quest you see the NPC at the Drunken Huntsman, but he refuses to speak any further on it until you have the skill level enough. Perhaps make it a little more challenging by making you have to hold the mouse down for a split moment before you need to let go, to prevent you from spam clicking mouse1. And hold it too long and you enter standard firing mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hold it too long and you enter standard firing mode. Ok. So we've agreed on a rumor starting once you reach a certain skill level in archery. Following that rumor you reach an NPC that refuses to speak to you unless you have a high enough skill level. Once you do, he/she tells you to do a quest (Hopefully archery based or something similar). Once completed you learn a skill that progresses with use. It's a greater power. Once activated every shot shoots 2-4 arrows. At full mastery, you can shoot 8-10 arrows. It consumes arrows in your inventory to make it balanced. You also get the penalty. If you hold the mouse1 button too long, it shoots normally. This means you can hold it for 1-2 seconds. 3+ returns it to normal firing. If we are going with this method, do you think it would be easier to go with a toggle ability, since you'd be wasting arrows and the skill seems balanced as it is with the time limit? This is what we've put together so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we've put together so far. Perhaps the ability could be toggle-able, maybe taught as a spell that puts you in that state for a certain amount of time. Or maybe it could just be permanent, but apply the mouse settings so that you can't spam-click m1 (maybe have the arrow topple over as a misfire if you try to hit mouse 1 too many times.) As I mentioned you can only fire so many, but you still control when to fire them. After your hand is empty you fill it back up with a 'reload' animation that takes the arrows from your overall arrow pool.
