LE Mod Idea: Shadow of Mordor / Talion-eqsue wraith

[SinnaSatan]

I know someone already started this kind of mod, but my ideas might go beyond that modders skill, I don't know ("Wraith Mode": http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61696/)

I tried doing this myself; I thought my programmer-background would help, but not everything in the CK is straight forward.

 

My character is mainly a meele-character, and I use Equipping Overhaul and 1 handed weapons on back for that "Witcher"-look. As esthetiques are quite important to me, and the skeleton I'm using places the bow a bit too far of the body (and the fact that I'm a meele-dude), the bow just gets in the way. Now, I could have it lying around in the inventory, but that sort of messes with the realism for me (although, I know, wraiths aren't exactly realistic :wink: ), and because I use EO, I can't favorite it, as it would show up on my back.

 

Played Shadow of Mordor the other day, and thought that feature would be cool to use in Skyrim for those who don't want a bow hanging on the back.

Yes, I know.. Bound weapons exists, but I think this would be cooler.

 

So, it could be done in two different ways, but it should be a lesser power I think, and not a spell, so you don't have to unequip everything.

So, use a lesser power, this is toggleable, when you're done with the bow, you toggle back.

#1

Add a ghost-effect and add and equip a (bound) bow

There should of course be some drawbacks to using this - everything should have strengths and weaknesses - so, while in wraitmode, you can't use anything but the bow, for example. Other suggestions are welcome as well. It shouldn't make you overpowered.

On toggle back, remove bow and ghost effect, and re-equip whatever you had in your hands before using the power.

 

#2

Same as above, but use it as a werewolf/vampire-lord kind of power if this makes it easier regarding possible model-change and equipment restrictions.

 

Regardless of method, it should have some effects, such as blurred edges and perhaps some tunnel-vision and a bluish (maybe) tint to signify that you've passed over to the other side while you're a wraith.

The transition should also be more or less instant, I think.

 

This might be a really stupid idea, or it could turn out pretty cool :smile:

 

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks :smile:
