Realism Overhaul ideas thread

First of all, nerf enchantments, theres a youtube video of some guy alchemy enchanting stuff (something like that) so its ridiculously retarded.

 

Second of all, nerf npc mages... I remember on my first file I could play the game fine on master... Melee classes could kill me if I wasn't careful... But mages could one/two/three shot me, which is really dumb. I had to lower the diff everytime I saw a mage, which kinda ruined the game a bit. 5 or 6 shot is fine, but an ice mage two shotting you sucks, especially since your slowed and cannot power sprint them.

 

Also, increase search radius, and make guards search when they find a body (splinter cell style).

 

I'd say centurions (spelling?) need a buff, they are wayyyy too easy on master with dragonplate and a shield. And maybe buffing companions (followers) would be a good idea, after level 30 or so they really begin to suck.

 

And if you want a few extra points, make dragons land more, I'm sick of them kiting me =\

- starting character has 0 magicka, only Altmer (100), Breton (50) and Dunmer (30) start with magicka (being a Nord mage is supposed to be very hard, to compensate increase stamina by the amount of lost magicka - Nord starts with 200 and Breton with 150 etc)

 

Your listed races are all +10 to a magic school, and so are imperials (+10 restoration). Consider adding them to your list.

Fair enough, Imperials will get +10 to magicka then.

As I havent played the game much (I cant bear to play more than few hours of Bethesda games without mods) I would like to hear your opinion about dragons. I hear that they are weak and not very fun. What should be done in your opinion to enhance dragons and make fighting with them truly epic?

I think there have to be serious health consequences to not eating or sleeping. To maintain health and staminina you should be required to eat at least one cooked meal a day and get at least a few hours sleep in a 48 hour period.

 

Failure to eat and sleep properly should result in lower stamina, reduced strength and therefore inability to carry much equipment, susceptibility to illness, inability to run etc.

 

Sitting down to eat in an inn or player home should give a "well fed" health and stats bonus.

 

Not eating and sleeping should cause messages to be shown saying "You are hungry" and "You are tired" perhaps with sound effects of rumbling tummies or yawning, perhaps blurred vision effects.

 

I think this would be a cool mod :thumbsup:

Unless they left the option to enable hardcore mode in Construction Set it would take a lot of scripting and a lot of work.
