Bane arrows.

[Iapetus]

I've recently started thinking about making a 'Bane Arrows' mod, and I frankly don't know that anyone would actually download such a thing.

Simply put, the arrows would be enchanted with a modified version of the Turpentine script. Rather than killing painted trolls, they would kill creatures (goblins or whatever, it would depend on the arrows themselves) with a corresponding faction added to them. The faction would not interact with other factions, and would just be there to ensure that the right kind of creature was 'messed the hell up'.

Also, there is the possibility of Racist Arrows; arrows that kill/seriously damage just wood elves or orcs or whatever. With these, I would likely add a script to the arrows that if the player is carrying them, the members of the accompanying faction would dislike them a bit. Not much, but just enough to reflect a sort of "I don't feel right around this person. They might be some sort of racist." feeling due to the faint but hateful aura of the arrows themselves.

If this were to be made, would you download it?

Do you have any suggestions?

Is there a better way to do this than having to resort to factions? Because I really don't want to have to add factions to every last goblin.

Well Doing this Does Sound Interesting... Attempting to do this to ALL Creatures would be Next to Retarded.

 

 

MATCH THE TROLL SCRIPT WITH ARROWS to YOUR NEW CREATURE.

AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT.

 

 

 

IF you like the way it turns out. Then you can Simply Add ARROW and CREATURE to Existing Dungeons.

 

 

This would be Interesting to Run Into Creatures that Only Could be Killed with a Spicific ARROW.... WEREWOLVES ANYONE?

To clarify that comment. The idea may be interesting, but something like this really doesn't work well on its own as a "here's a bunch of arrows I made and put into a shop" kind of mod. There should be something a bit more to it, like a quest or something that needs these arrows or atleast provides a reason for them. Even if this means only having 1 or 2 kinds of arrows like this instead of one for every creature type, it would likely be the better option.

 

Just make sure that any effects you have are part of the scripted enchantment. Anything else may lead to other problems. Having a version specific to NPC races would however be a rather bad idea since bandits and such don't have much consistency in race, and killing town NPCs is never advised. Vampires however...

Of course I wouldn't simply slap the arrows into just anyone's shop, as that would be ridiculous.

The racist (I can't think of a better way to describe them) arrows would likely be purchasable from that rude Khajiit in the DB sanctuary (just a few), and some Argonian-bane arrows would be in the Leyawiin castle, for obvious reasons.

 

Some Vampire-bane arrows would likely be found with the members of the Order of the Virtuous Blood, which would make sense.

Alright, I am Working On a Perfect Implementation for this As a Quest.

 

My current Mod in Release Purgatorium Will be a Perfect Place to Implement this Idea.

 

Where: Amshagar : an Oblivion Plane Located in the Purgatorium.

 

My Idea: I will Use the Arrow Script to Make Creatures and Weapons. I will Create a Vender at the Entrance that sells the weapons.

I will Create a Repeatable Quest and Reward. Making In All Reality, An Oblivion Item Gold Farm.
