zoneofdarkness Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 So I was thinking about a mechanic that maaaaybe could be worked in to Skyrim using Dragonborn's dragon mount animations. A more "dynamic" battle mechanic with dragons. The ability to jump on them when they're stunned or staggering, and hang on to them when they take off in to the air. Something like Shadow of the Colossus, where you have to balance hanging on for dear life with stabbing them (or I guess slicing at them, since the character's mount animations don't include "stab what I'm riding") until they be dead. Do you guys think something like that would be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkasha Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Considering even vanilla dragon kill animations are buggy and not yet fixed I'd reckon it would take years to perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoneofdarkness Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Well, I don't imagine it would use any animations that are already outside of the game. The ones I was talking about were the vanilla "mounted on horse" combat animations. It would look rough, yeah, (and the animation itself wouldn't be hitting the dragon,) but it wouldn't be as buggy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEyDz38yGYI My understanding is that in the game, the same "mounted" animation is used for dragons. The melee moves are just locked from player use. For my idea: when you'd swing your sword/mace/whatever, you'd take off a bit of the draggy's health until it dies or is forced to drop to the ground. And if you get thrown off, you guy just sort of drops off of the dragon. When you kill the dragon, it either lands and then dies, or does that death-slide you occasionally see if you do enough damage with enough speed.

Valkasha Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 As far as I know mounting makes you and the mount one, I don't see how you could hit yourself, even on a regular horse mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
