Skyrim Mod Ideas

[El`derina]

Quick quideline rules:

1.) Title the mod idea

2.) Declare rather you plan to make the mod or if your posting it for others to use and make.

 

Mod #1

This is something I really want to see, but don't have the skills myself

 

Title: "Skyrim: Hybrids"

Description:

The concept of this mod would be to take the series Breathe of Fire, and use those ideas in the Skyrim gameworld.

The player, instead of recieving new shout powers when killing dragons, would instead gain power to invest in different dragon hybrid forms. The choice in what forms to power up would be the players.

New shouts and shout upgrades could be branched off the forms, and maybe even accessable only while morphed. Certain magics and scripted abilities would be accessable as well while in a morphed form, like slightly floating off the ground instead of walking/running.

 

Problems:

both good scripting and 3d modeling skills would be needed, and 'possibly' animation.

Mod Idea: Free use

I myself wont be attempting this mod, so its up for takes. 3d modeling is beyond my skill and im not very successful at gathering help. Scripting wouldn't be a problem, if I did have others helping with modeling.

 

Mod #2

The very first thought i had, see'ing gameplay trailers of Skyrim.

 

Title: "Survival Skills"

Description:

Magic/alchemy shouldn't be the only method of healing... although it may very well be the best. This mod's aim would be to add a Doctor, or First Aid skill to Skyrim. Crafting bandages and using in game clutter objects to make bandages, splints, and sterilization- all the while building a new skill(one I feel should have been implented to begin with,... granted Skyrim isn't out yet, but I am sure this wasn't done) The skill would only be usable outside of combat, and preferably take at least a few seconds to use.. hopefully with an animation if theres any vanilla animations usable for this.

Ideally, other 'survival' type skills would be implented... temperature, need for shelter against snowstorm(not a skill, but fits with the mod idea), hunger and thirst would have to be optional but should be part of the mod. And basic wilderness tools should be implented into the game(trip wire between trees? sharpen wooden pole and make short spear? Dig pit?)

 

Reasoning: Well, aside from potions.. warriors get screwed unless they go paladin style... so adding a skill like this helps non-magic characters and helps immersion.

Mod Idea: I intend to at least attempt this, but wouldn't mind moving aside if another modder thought they'd do a good job on it.

Well, I will leave it at that and see what others might have to share, please post :)

1.) ZOMBIES. Like a total conversion mod with survivor NPCs and quests.

 

2.) I want has a modder to make this

 

 

 

 

Also, i would like to see a perk unlock mod so you can keep leveling up and eventually get all the perks. (i don't mean a mod that just gives them to you, i mean a mod that makes it so you can get all of them the normal way)

Most of my wants will be graphical. But I, nor anyone else, has any idea what needs "improved" until either the game comes out or they show off some PC screenshots.

 

I'm hoping to get something similar to OBGE running with some type of Color Rendering shader to make the game look even more cinematic than it already does. I don't like the Crysis depth of field, just the normal plain-jane one that comes with OBGE. If they don't use tesselation (which doesn't look like it), I'd like to see Parallax Occlusion Mapping.

 

I hoping textures will be better this time around and we won't need anything like RAEVWD or QTP3 for DistandLOD. Because looking from the screenshots, I drool over the Draw Distance on the 360!! And they better optimize this game to use at LEAST 3 cores (hopefully 4) and/or more threads.

 

Of anything I want to see come out of this game is something as graphically demanding as Crysis, but have infinite draw distance and decent optimization with LOD. I'm really really hoping that Bethesda doesn't push PC gamers under the rug with optimizing post-launch.....

@Modinn

hmmm,... those graghical mods will come with time, lots of time- but they will come, always do. It'll be nice, but I myself am looking more forward to the gameplay.

 

@therealbobdole

Both mods are inevitable. We can count on that getting done by someone, lol. You'll be quite satisfied.

 

You know,... I would really like to see some of the big quest mod teams working on Skyrim... The Lost Spires, ever play that? just to name one off the top of my head... now if they did that for Skyrim to, that would be amazing.

As for game content, modders add easily triple, or more for most users. With how impressive Skyrim is looking already, I can't imagine how great the game will be after a few years of mods.

[dnalien]

A mod that adds half races like hybrids between diffrent races. Example: One half nord other half orc.

I'm not good at making mods and i do not know how to create or edit meshes nor textures. So I ask if anybody who is expeianced in modding would to these.

[InuyashaFE]

If werewolves and vampires aren't in, mods for those.

 

A mod that expands the amounts of shouts you can use, allowing you to call a dragon to ride, or even become a dragon yourself.

[TheAtomicCafe]

Already started my mod team. We have been in pre-production for seven months. We are video game industry veterans (even from Bethesda) and we even have game art and design students as well...62 people so far. We have our Teaser Trailer up. My team is called The ATOMIC Cafe. I am heading up this team as my thesis for my Masters Degree in Game Production.
