LE Rock Climbing & other kinds

[cppcooper]

Rock climbing.

 

This isn't a life simulator.. so we can't just expect rock climbing to be 100% realistic or any type of climbing for that matter. We can expect half realistic climbing, and climbing animations.

 

Basically it would be three types of climbing.

 

1.) Rocks with different slopes all over the place.

2.) Buildings with minuscule ledges, usually in the form of wood or stone.

3.) Trees? stuff that goes straight up.

 

 

1.) Rocks you would only be able to climb up, or pull yourself up to the next slope if it is sloped upward. \ <-Rock - You-> :D

So situations where the rock slope goes out over your head, you can't climb them. /. <- You(the dot) under the rock slope

 

 

2.) So long as you can reach the next one you ought to be able to do it; pull yourself up to the ledge. Although your stamina should be draining unless it is a ledge big enough to stand on. So if you aren't standing on it the next one had better be two arm's length away, or less. This should use stamina according to the distances being reached and the time you are simply holding onto one ledge not even reaching for another. When you run out of stamina, better hope you aren't outside of the life death threshold for falls...

 

 

3.) If you can reach your arms around it then why not. The problem will arise when you are in the leaves of the trees. I don't think there are any realistically modeled trees though, so it would be pointless to even have trees. Unless you are jumping from it to a cliff ledge. Who knows though, maybe somebody will decide to model some trees with branches, that way you can fell your foes from above. Death from above, it would be pretty cool as an archer... admit it!!

 

 

-----------------------

Alright so those are the capabilities; these are the methods. There have been some suggestions and I will just compile them here.

 

*Climbing Gloves - to climb up walls - Check out Thief 3 climbing gloves

*Hiking Boots - to walk up an additional range of angles - Life

*Grapple & Rope - to scale up walls to the rooves, bring a long rope - ^

*Dragon Taming - Show 'em who's boss - "like a boss"

kinda like assassins creed?

Only in the sense that you could climb and jump from one place to another.

 

The way AC handles such things would differ greatly from a mod for skyrim. It would be exactly the same if the mod was made perfectly. I just don't have such high hopes is all; though I will be astounded by any such mod.

The climbing mechanics Assassin's Creed were made using a real game/physics engine with the highly-respected developers at Ubisoft. I doubt that a Skyrim mod made with the Creation Kit and perhaps a few other resources can emulate that.

 

But, I still very much endorse the idea!

I always try to figure out a path to shoot my targets quietly down, but too many times been forced to walk up in front of them like a mooron. Where they usually instantly see me. (walking up with a loaded bow helps a lot.)

 

 

But yeah, I've seen too many paths, to reach a better position but obviously been unable to. So I actually figured I should request a mod myself, and I was rather relieved when I searched and found this existing thread.

 

Please make it happend :)

 

Thank you, Sagenth.

 

Sneaking, and hunting would be a lot better with this feauture in game.

i approve of this mod, i hate trying to scale mountains... it pisses me to take forever going around a mountain to find the small pathway up it, and to make it assassin's creed style would be even better x3

[cppcooper]

Thanks for the appreciation :)

 

Yea I don't think the idea would have come as easily if not for AC

I'm glad you posted the rock climbing. At the very least you should be able to climb a 15 degree slope rock. But for some reason, they got lazy with the terrain and included a bunch of slopes that once you land on it, your character will slowly "slide" down until a flat surface stops you- which in turn stops climbing/jumping. Basically, a mod that lets you jump while slowly sliding on irregular surfaces would be nice.

battlefield 3 type climbing would probably be the most plausible. i can pretty much get anywhere on any map in that game. however it wouldnt help climbing buildings. but then again im not really shure on the mechanics of their stuff. it might be really complicated and i just dont know it =P.

[shadowxi304]

yeah, or a mod where you can actually climb mountain sides and such if you can find the proper tools around the world, that when equiped wil alow you to move up the side of buildings and mountains with a climbing animation with the tools
