technological Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 For quite some time now I have been tossing over the basic concepts of archery in oblivion - mainly in regards to the system of using and recovering arrows. As we all know, Oblivion has the default arrow recovery rate of 50% where attempting recovery from an enemy. My proposition however, will completely eleminates this. Rather than having arrows randomly disappear, they have a chance to break (depending of course on various skills, formulae etc) and will be fully repairable through typical means. Depending on one's marksman/armorer sklill, the arrow will be easier/harder to repair, break more/less frequently and result in a higher or lower incidence of breaking a repair hammer (as with a typical weapon) - simulating the already existing system in vanilla. Even if you do not specialize in Armorer or marksman skills, you can just as easily take the arrows to a repairman (anyone who offers typical weapon repair) and pay them to repair the arrows for you. This system is already fully developed and ready to be launched (bar some minor bugs and addons) and I would like feedback from the modder community about possible further addons, designs. Currently Stage: - Breakable Arrows + Menu addon (99% complete) - Enchantable arrows (1-2 weeks) - Minor bugs (1 week) - New Models (broken and non + High Poly arrows) If you have any Suggestions/Questions, post here or email me at: [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorpony Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 This sounds very cool. If I'm understanding it correctly, arrows would be treated similar to throwable weapons that could be picked back up and repaired? No more lost enchanted arrows? I'm very interested in seeing where this goes. -Razorpony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyran Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 :thumbsup: you have to tell me when it's done. i hate how you almost every time get your normal arrows back and run around with like 3000 of them but the magical ones almost ever disappear and you can do nothing to get them back. if you need some one to test it i'm in. as for suggestions you should consider to make it so that all arrows exept daedric ones(maybe not even them) break when they hit someone that blocks with a shield...

At the moment, there is no way to recover enchanted arrows... sorry. In return, you can make your own enchanted arrows, depending on the power of the soul gem etc... Still in development. For the second part, all arrows can break, but depending on how skilled you are, every time, there will bne a minimum of unbroken arrows remaining +- a random factor. So if you can kill something in just 3-4 hits, likely you will get all your arrows back in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyran Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 hm not getting back the enchanted arrows? :sad: hm...well I'll have to live with it :ermm: another thing*kinda offtopic*but maybe you know since you're working on a arrow mod is there a mod that keeps companions from looting dead archers? And is it just my game or is it impossible to get a dwemner arrow back when you shoot it with a damage enchated bow? kay back to topic. I thought about some thing. You want to make arrow enchantable? You mean one by one or kinda like "small soulgem" with "average soul" = 15 arrows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
