DarkPoserGirl Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 This isn't a mod request, only a mod quesion, becasue I haven't tried any serious mod-making work before. My question is: when the new construction kit comes out, how practical/easy would it be to use data from Oblivion in Skyrim?What I mean by that is expanding Skyrim to the south, using the environments, architecture etc from Oblivion to include all of Cyrodiil and make a mash-up of the two games, leaving out any quests from Oblivion that clashed with the Skyrim story (the main Oblivion quest, the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood quest line etc), and rewriting any others that had a passing mention to any situation that didn't match the Skyrim story.This would also include replacing all the Oblivion NPCs with the newer Skyrim NPC models, and retexturing places and objects when needed.I think it would be great to be able to play Skyrim while still living in somewhere like Battlehorn Castle, and go riding over the Jerall Mountains to do quests there, but sitll be able to ride to Imperial City too.

XunAmarox Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Ridiculously difficult, would require an entire dedicated team of modders and many months. It would also be unreleasable as assets from Oblivion (From Bethesda) would not be allowed to be released for a new title (Skyim). There would be legal issues, as you can't ensure everyone that owns Skyrim owns Oblivion, and the assets in Oblivion must be paid for and belong only within that title. In Oblivion there was a Morrowind project, but it experienced a disappearing act after it was nearly completed, when Bethesda stepped in and said "no." It had to be removed from hosting everywhere, and I never heard much of it thereafter. I fear such a mod would suffer the same fate. Intellectual Properties, Trademarks, Copyrights and what have you.

Morroblivion still exists and is doing fine tbh. About the op's question however, yea, it would be a insane amount of work. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
