[wip] The Knife Fighter's Mod

[MacReigh]

Yeah, I'm currently working on a mod that revamps the art of knife combat. In addition, there's an epic quest with a couple of zelda style dungeons, plus a secret arena to test one's knife fighting skills.

 

Yes, we all love big swords. But one aspect of close range combat often overlooked is the world of knife fighting. Knife fighter's are some of the best fighters ever; they are quick with the blade, and they don't hesitate to cut you into fifty different pieces. They use a variety of combat styles with the blade, such as turning the knife to where the blade points down (known in modern times as an icepick grip), using two knifes in the icepick grip and run off of hand to hand skill, or just simply using two knifes regular.

 

Rumor has it that somewhere in Cyrodill that there is a secret arena. An Arena where the knife fighter known as Eledir; a woodelf with the coldest of hearts, reigns as the champion of the Secret Arena. The secret arena is a place where the best knife fighters from all of Tamriel come to fight each other to the death.

 

The secret arena is a place of secrets. Here, criminals, assasins, spies, and other people of that sort come to either enhance their skills, to come for the ladies, to come for bounties and merc jobs, or to just earn the money associated with fighter in the arena.

 

Features include:

 

A new, underground arena

 

Mercenary and bounty hunter jobs

 

Fight for money in the arena

 

Dual wield knifes, of which you can pick your fighting style on equip

 

Hopefully, an epic quest to go along with all of that.

Get 'er Done!

 

Earlier I started on the two scripts that will control the combat system. Right now, It's farely straight forward. I'm starting simple and am working on the single knife fighting styles.

 

Right now there are three styles: Regular, Reverse, and Offhand

 

Regular is what's built into Oblivion already. You use it everytime you use a dagger in vanilla OB. It is the default style.

 

Now the other styles will not becomes available until you go through a "training session" with a trainer at the secret arena. To use each individual style, you must speak with the trainer that teaches that style. This is to put a little bit of realism into the mod. I mean like, how often do you see people suddenly master different styles of fighting in real life when they load a mod?

 

Reverse is with the point of the blade pointing down. It has a higher damage yeild because most of the attacks are stabs and not slashes, but it does not have the range of a regular fighting style. Plus the weapon will break sooner.

 

Offhand is a reverse style grip in the left hand. It never attacks; it is used simply to block oncoming attacks. It is a very effective way of blocking, but you won't get a good armor rating.

 

Double knife fighting styles are coming soon.
