odiphas Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi everyone, This is my first post--ever. It comes after scouring through virtually the entire Skyrim mod database on Nexus and coming up zilch for a mod that I thought would be very useful, obvious, and, if done right, top notch: tree manipulation. How great would it be to climb up a tree and peak inside nests for alchemical goodies? There could even be a whole new ecosystem full of goodies (and baddies) up in the canopy. How awesome would that be?Moreover, it would not fall short of amazing to be able to climb up to the top and have a better shot at high flying birds, to survey the surrounding area, or to snipe some bandits camped out in a distant clearing below. Climbing trees could help with avoiding detection, or, if discovered, lead to a battle in the branches, requiring perhaps a whole new fighting strategy and battle dynamic. Another aspect closely related to the above would be chopping down trees, turning them into barriers or bridges... or into amusing weapons, dropped on enemies ("timber!"). Just imagine an instance on a mountainside, with a horde of enemies chasing you uphill: while they fight your summoned creatures, you chop down the trunk of a dead pine, and it goes rolling down! And there is so much more potential with a tree manipulation mod, which I will stop myself from going into for the sake of space, and the reader's patience. It would be great if I had the know-how to develop this mod on my own, but, alas, I do not. I thus turn to the mod development community to help turn a rough mod idea into a refined mod fact.Aside from that, any pointers on where someone with no mod development experience can find at least rudimentary educational resources would be much appreciated--Help me get my foot in the door, and, in time, I'll do my best to give the community something to talk about. Thanks, Odiphas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
