SkyEnd requires additional members

[Kerberus14]

--What it is

 

SkyEnd is a complete Skyrim Overhaul which has additional features such as :

 

- The ability to control your own weight by eating, drinking and sleeping.

 

- Non-Vampires characters need to eat&sleep in order to survive, manage their weight, and sleep so they can be at full power in order to fight.

 

- Complete Werewolf and Vampire overhaul with immersive messages. (Example: when you turn into a vampire your hair would turn silver-grey and your skin would be white, when you turn into a werewolf your hair would turn black-red.)

 

- Item's restricted by player's weight, if you are under a certain weight threshold a notification will tell you that you can't wear that armor unless you gain more strength(in this case, weight..)

 

- Non-Vampire/Werewolf characters get some love too, potions that regenerate given to you by the nine divines, adrenaline rush effect that refunds part of your magicka, stamina and health and more.

 

- Overhauled creatures, diseases and more. (For example, a Bear's power attacks would throw you around if you are below a certain weight threshold, or paralyze you with basic attacks with a certain rate of success.)

 

- Overhauled perks, addition of subclasses.

 

- Athletics overhaul, increases your stats by using them, not by leveling up. Leveling up has been made obsolete, it's just a number.

 

There are more features to be added and these are not all of them that are present in current day iteration of SkyEnd. If you want to find out more about SkyEnd, click one of the two pictures in my signature.

 

--What it needs--

 

A modder that knows how to do these:

- Make/Edit an NPC and dialogue for the NPC, know how to make full use of the editor, npc behaviors and so on.

- Make interesting quests.

- Optional: Make interesting/simple rooms.

And TESTERS, as many as possible, I want to deliver a high quality overhaul, but I am only a developer, I only have time to test my changes and scripts in a closed environment.

I'm looking for artists and modelers too, but your help in this stage of SkyEnd will be minimal, unless you decide to make something of your own that you would want to implement or jump ahead of the plan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When did this start? 7 of November.

I know the job description is pretty vague but my knowledge of these things are very limited, I only know how to make spells and script the hell out of pretty much anything.

I myself am only a somewhat experienced scripter/spell designer with little knowledge about the above, and I have no time as I am working morning to dawn on this mod.

 

I've made a few topics like these a few months ago and I haven't gotten any interest, since then I've been working non-stop on this mod and I hope some people might show some interest.

 

This overhaul will make quite a few mods on Nexus obsolete, such as : Pumping Iron, Better Vampires, Realistic Needs and Diseases and much more.

[Mattiewagg]

I doubt it will make them obsolete. They're focused on that one feature and will likely do it in a slightly different way.

 

If mods made others obsolete that easily, RND would have been "obsolete" because of iNeed, etc. ;)

[Kerberus14]

RND is too demanding of the player.

iNeed is too automated.

 

The solution is midway. Auto-loot nearby dead animals of meat if crouched(not yet decided if it'll be a feature), auto-fill water if you're crouched in a lake or river and an incentive to eat and drink other than just to avoid dying of famine and dehydration, I'd say it makes them look pretty old school.

 

The solution to making most things better is being cost efficient with time while not breaking much of immersion, entering the inventory is meh.. looting tables are meh.. everything that pauses the game is meh.

 

When playing either of them, I felt like I was staying too much in my inventory, or not staying as much, or just consuming items mindlessly, or feeling no need for the mod at all(I'm looking at you iNeed and your automated eating function). With this you have to think about how much to eat, or how little to eat, since your weight has impact on the overall experience, if you are below a certain weight threshold you will be thrown around or shocked from impacts a lot more often, but if you are much more buff you will be more susceptible to poison and fire.

Sounds great to me. :)

Nice!

ROUGH Changelog for SkyEnd Alpha v0.2:

IMPORTANT CHANGES!!
- Your level is based on how much health you have divided by a formula. Leveling up has been made impossible or close to impossible(you'd have to play for days to get a level up now, and it won't matter because it gets re-set to the formula immediately after.) You level up by gaining stats, your stats reset back to full after leveling up as usual. This is now the new way to level up. DONE
      - In respect to the above change the athletics script that scaled off your player level has been tweaked to accommodate the changes. DONE
- Stamina no longer capped at 1000, but Athletics caps at 1000, which means you can't have 3000 stamina and jump into the skybox or run at lightspeed.  DONE
- Timescale lowered to 6. DONE

- If you have completed Clavicus's Vile quest, you will no longer take damage from the sun/wearing torches/wearing silver/wearing fire spells as a Vampire. DONE
- Beast Form static stats. DONE
- Vampires take damage if they have a fire spell equipped or torch or silver. DONE
Vampires regenerate only 1% of their health per second and 15% of their missing health per second. DONE
Vampires can hide in the shade to avoid taking damage from the sun during the day, fire sources in interiors will hurt you, basically anything that emanates heat and/or light can hurt you. DONE
- Encounter Zones have been tweaked, all the zones will accommodate to your current level(which now scales with how much health you have, which indirectly scales with your stamina, you have no level cap) DONE
- Combat Minigame for nonvamps/werewolf tweaked and fixed, only triggers if you're blocking =p DONE

This seems pretty cool, but I just have one teensy problem. Sanguinare Vampiris sets your HP to 1? The most common means of catching that disease is by getting hit by a vampire's life drain spell, which is of course a concentrated spell. By doing this, you effectively ensure that Sanguinare Vampiris is instant death.
