LE Skill Overhaul

[ThornsWisdom]

This is a complicated subject and, in my opinion an important one. I am interested in overhauling skills for skyrim and other Beth games.

 

My thoughts:

 

1) Actor Values, Skills, and Abilities.

Skill Level should modify actor values and perks should NOT.

Perks should unlock new abilities and NOT modify actor values.

I think perks that modify actor values in the vanilla game are boring and an annoying necessity. I could be a level 50 archer but do almost no damage without overdraw. It makes the game less immersive.

 

2) Complementary Skills

I want to create a skill called Warrior.

Each time you gain combat xp a small percentage of that is also added to the warrior skill. The warrior skill improves all combat values just a little bit. The idea is that learning how to use one weapon can help you understand other weapons; how to swing block and craft them. The bow would not fall under combat.

I would also create a skill called Mage which would be a little different.

 

3) Making New Skills

I know that making new skills is almost impossible so I want to combine some skills.

Light armor, heavy armor, and maybe block would be combined into the Armor skill. ...That's what I would do anyway.

 

I am somewhat experienced with general modding but no expert. I know that some people have scripted skills but they're not perfect. Anyway let's talk about this!

Are you.offering to make skill overhaul mods ot just stating that you are currently making the classes you just specified? Because if you are offering services, I posted a Smithing skill overhaul a few hours ago.
