Disability - A Huge Overhaul

Got this idea after watching remakes of an oriental martial hero series called 'Romance of the Condor Heroes'. If you didn't know, the main protagonist is a formidable, probably the strongest martial artists in the era, and he only has ONE HAND. (Some drama happened when he was young and he lost his right arm.)

 

So here I wonder if a Skyrim character can be physically disabled. Say for example, losing an arm in a battle against dragon, or it could also be caused by an unique quest-line. When the character only has AN ARM, all attack animations on weapons change, as well as some of the skill trees. No more use of bows. Crossbows maybe.

 

In addition, new outfits like empty sleeve/side cape with HDT physics implemented can also be worn by characters to cover up their disabilities. It would look so tragically heroic to see Dovahkiin adorned with a battle 'scar' like this.

Ambitious and vague, but hey, it's fun to share :D

Ooooh, that would be amazing!!!! Especially since i recreated one of my OCs in skyrim,, and she is supposed to only have one eye and one arm. if there were a mod to maybe block out half the screen in first person view, and to actually physically get rid of her left arm, that would be amazing!!! i never thought about the outfit thing, really o_O that's genius....

Hello Boombro, in this case it's entirely different because the skills trees will be affected as well. Say for example, two handed attacks can no longer block (too heavy using just an arm) in early levels but this weakness is compensated with another combat move (like knock over, where you rush forward with your weapon and hit them in their stomach using sword's pommel or something) that comes with this 'disability' condition. Time it properly and it will stagger your opponent like a shield would do at least.

I hope you get what I mean :D

IKR! Thanks! Good idea on the screen-block when your character is half-blinded, that would be very very immersive. The outfit is just an extra hehe :tongue:
