Idea for character creation

[CreeperDaReeper]

I've been through the TES4 part of the nexus for at least a month now, I've seen so many different races added, not to mention the ones that are combinations of others.

What I would love to see it all of the work thats been put in to all these mods be brought together and spun in a different direction, kind of.

 

Let me describe how the new system would work:

 

When the menu pops up, you get regular set of options, but when you select the race menu, you get something new.

Instead of having all of the races in a simple cycled litst, there would be a drop down box with 7 base choices; human, elf, orc, reptile, beast, demon, and plant. Then there would be a second drop down box with the variations of each; human-imperial/nord/redguard/brenton, elf-wood/high/dark/ancient, reptile-air/land/sea, beast-canine/feline/bird/etc, etc-etc.

At any time you could change between male and female, (there would be two buttons for this, one with the male symbol, and one with the female one.).

If all you wanted was a simple choice, then you would click done, and would be taken back to the first menu.

 

If you wanted something more, then you would change things like height, or the skin color.

 

You could even make a hybrid that include parts from different bases, so you could have a character that had lets say; elven ears, orcish face, argonian tail, kajit feet, and human torso, but then you would also get to name your new race as well, (if it doesn't already have one).

 

The same thing would apply to the eyes and hair, you want; argonian fins and kajit eyes, why not? Also, all eyes and all hairs would be available to every race.

This would have course also have room for any mod added races, (which would be already added, as long as the owner would not mind), to give you even more choices.

 

There would have be a way to make it so that if you don't want to be a nord when you make your character really tall, you could check a box to choose just what race you want to be without changing your characters apperance, (black imperial anyone?).

 

Each of the base races, and their height/color variations would have their own racial stats/spells/etc.

 

Here is a quick example I hacked together in paint:

 

No it doesn't show all of the different choice things cause i wasn't sure how those might be displayed.

 

If someone could pull this off, I think it would add a LOT of diversty to the player. Use the history writer mod to make your character even more personalized: (if someone knows what im talking about, plz post a link to it so i can put it here).

Character creation is more or less hard-coded in. So's height.

Seriously?

Damnit.

 

Thanks for the info though.
