Playable Dragon race request


Aedred

Recommended Posts

Ayup, and now that my college finals are over for the semester I can begin working more on modding. As far as modeling the dragonling goes, I've messed around with the face quite a bit, but I finally decided the face in the SS below is the direction I want to go in for the body. I also have some work done on the tail not viewable here.

 

As you can see, I've shrunk the teeth, the muzzle spikes and made the model small enough to have the same sized eyes look huge.

Playing as a dragon all the time probably gets really boring very soon and unpracticall.

 

 

 

My experiences from playing games like I of the Dragon and Reign of Fire (Dragon side), were actually incredibly fun.

 

For "I of the Dragon", there was a lot more to it than just jumping into the game as an ancient and powerful Dragon, but when you did reach that point it made the experience all the more enjoyable. It's unfortunate that I of the Dragon is unstable on Windows 7 >.<

 

Since so much detail has been given to dragons in Skyrim, right out of the box, I figure what better place to get a fully fleshed out Dragon race mod than the Elder Scrolls. :happy: Seems reasonable to think about with the info that has accumulated in this thread :turned:

 

For anyone that hasn't played I of the Dragon, you start out as a young dragon, the last of your kind, no thanks to a certain evil bad creature that's rampaging and releasing monsters. Over time though as you level, your appearance starts to change as you grow and your spells and abilities get way more powerful. The devs included 3 general types of dragons: Fire, Ice, and Death. Now to take I of the Dragon and combine it with the gameplay mechanics and concepts of Hoard (Playstation network game) and you're looking at one hell of an experience for dragon race fanatics out there :tongue:

Oblivion had an alternate start mod that started you on a ship where you chose your race and all that then chose to start at either the imperial city dock or anvil. A good way to start this mod is to do the same thing where you turn the mod on and you start as a dragon race. This would start you in a cave as a dragon race but you pick a race such as nord, imperial, etc but it adds the dragon race power. Picking a race would make it that as a dragon you have a humanoid form to take on as to not scare the other races of tamriel. The dragon race could work as a toggled morph kinda like the way the companion beastform works only more than once a day transformation. You could use this toggle from the powers menu like the Kajiit night eye but it would morph you into your dragon form. I actually already had this idea before reading this thread but with no Kit I have no way of modding this in nor do I think I have the skills to make it work. Not without lots and lots of messing around anyways.

 

So the lore of this is that you are a dragon able to use a power to take on a human form kinda like how the dragons in WoW work http://www.wowwiki.com/Alexstrasza. This would work by altering the start of the game to put you in a cave where you pick your race and customize it and adding the trasformation to all the starting races but make it PC specific. If you want to play as a dragon you already can though by using the console command player.setrace dragonrace but it's buggy and doesn't let you fly or atleast I can't find out how if it does. You can add the dragon breath attacks by using the console command psb and buying the breaths. It actually does the dragon animations when you do the shout too. Just some info for where you can start.

Sorry Bub, this is TES, not Warcraft. As such the mods I make will only be possible through the TES lore. In TES lore AFAIK there has never been a dragon that took the form of a humanoid. However there has been a humanoid that transformed into a dragon.

Derp der derp derp derp...stupid answer to stupid response I was using WoW as a referance.Taking the same idea that through magic the dragons could disguise themselves as humans, elves, etc to avoid Soldier "Die dragon die" Dragon "Hey I just wanna buy some health pots" arrow to the knee. "Ok screw this Yul Tor Shul." Considering how dragon shouts work it's plausable there could be one created to mask a dragons presence. Look at dragonrend it was created by humans to be used against dragons. If humans can create a shout out of thin air sheer willpower why can't the dragons who, you know created the language? As far as mentions of transformation that was modder talk not lore speak. That's the glory of mods you can tweak the lore without breaking it. Just because there isn't a dragon who has disguised himself as a human so far that doesn't mean there can't be. Besides looking at the lore as it is, it's possible that a dragon could transform into a human and that none of them felt like it since they see themselves as above the humanoid races and in transforming themselves they were disgracing themselves. Eventually one could pull their arrogant head out of their rectum and and give no f**ks about being all high and mighty like the others.
