Agnonthewolf Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) HI community! I have a very special request today! I myself play skyrim as a bard character traveling from hold to hold playing music on lute, flute and drums! This is all good and all but there is one medieval instrument i happen to love more than any other. The Hurdy Gurdy! The hurdy gurdy was a medival instrument that was invented around 11th century and was kind of a medieval "party instrument" is was especially popular between the 13th-16th century! Skyrim takes place roughly between the 12th-15th century and Skyrim is filled with immigrants from all of Tamriel. So theres no excuse to why it shouldn't be an actual instrument :D I love the hurdy gurdy. And would love to have it as a playable instrument for a mod like "become a bard" For the player to play! I am aware that not only the model has to be made but also an animation for the character to play it. But i have learned that the devoted motters and animators on the forums has a certain midas-like touch when it comes to things like this! I hope this could interest some of you guys out there! (ps: I can donate the sound files if need be! I own my own studio and have a handfull of very tallented hurdy gurdy players in my arsenal. I also play myself if need be :wink: )Best regards ~Agnon~(heres a man playing the hurdy gurdy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHmML7bu-iM )http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Elf_Fantasy_Fair_2010_hurdy_gurdy.jpg Edited February 17, 2015 by Agnonthewolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agnonthewolf Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Skyrim takes place roughly between the 12th-15th centurywhere in cannon does it say this? It doesn't... The elder scrolls is a totally different timeline than ours. I am not saying that they are in the 12-15th century. I am merely comparing to our timeline. And looking at how advanced Tamriel is at the given time Skyrim takes place (The Fourth Era) And even looking back at "The Elder scrolls IV: Oblivion" (The Third Era) We can make a pretty good estimate that it's somewhere inbetween there.

DoctorKaizeld Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 that is a reasonable assumption but you also have to remember that in fantasy worlds the existence of magic actually hampers technology growth substantially. odds are they are between 16-17, but again who honestly knows. i would like to see the instrument in game though.

Agnonthewolf Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 That's ofcause correct. The influence of magic does push technology back. But i don't think Skyrim is quite in the "renaissance" era ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
