Omeletter Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Full support for more songs mod! I was going to join the Bard's College, but when I realised the lack of songs in Skyrim I dropped the idea. When CK comes out, and if I am going to mod, I will make a "More population" kind of mod. Would work kinda good when there are 10 people in a tavern and you order a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truephobia Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I was going to post my song "Under the Sign of the Lady" but I re-read a post from my other thread and there was someone who had the same thought I had: To copy "Monty Python's Holy Grail" and have a couple traveling bards following the hero singing tales of his glory. In that movie, they were singing "Brave Sir Robin." In that style, I have created a song that two bards would be playing and singing while following you. Now, this would get annoying pretty quickly so there would have to be an assortment of songs all about praising you while you wander and of course you can have them be silent. I think it would be cool if as soon as you go into battle they sing a song that pertains to battle cheering you on. This would be the main song, it is called "The Strongest and Mightiest Hero."

Morbox Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hm. I see one problem there: You can play a female hero. And it would be quite ridiculous to be called "he" all the time if you're actually a she...but perhaps there can be a second version for heroines? As there will definitely be songs that individual people don't like as much as others, I thought anyway that we might want to keep the "playlist" open to editing - i.e. present instructions to doing that in a readme and try to not make it too complicated. Though this would complicate things a bit, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efikmalydoskonaly Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 There is this wonderful version of "Dragonborn comes" song posted on youtube: and the singer, Malukah seems to be very positive about the modding community. So maybe it's worth asking if she would agree to use (and edit, so just the first part of the song would go) it in this project? I like her version, it's very sweet, and some diversity in the game would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omeletter Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 If you are making singing companions, you should make that an optional file, when this mod is created. I only want bards singing more stuff in inns, not adoring fans. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeomni Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) If there is a Modeler and Scripter out there who would be willing to put in the time to create a bard character, I would be more than willing to record some bard music and voice a character. Since there already is a serious character, I'm thinking that a more humorous bard character would really work well as a complement. Someone who wears ridiculous clothes, a wonky codpiece and has an earth-shattering ego, with a snotty/foppish British accent. Who's in? Sound like an opportunity for an awesome mod, when construction set will be released, ill do what i can to help with this, but we would stll need a 3d artist and someone who can write background story and textes for this char. Count me in for Textures. I'm a composer as well, but I'm on an extended stay out of state and my studio and gear is 2800 miles away. I'm not sure when I'll return, but feel free to ping me about it when the CK comes out. EDIT:As a side note, I haven't finished the Bard's College questline yet, but I quickly got the feeling there will be no learning of instruments here. Seems like you are working for a doctorate in doing fightery things for the teachers and never actually learning music. That pisses me off. It would be nice if you could learn an instrument and have it as a skill. Like maybe trading some playing for a free night's stay at inns [perhaps with a check to your speech skill for success] Edited December 12, 2011 by mikeomni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireBug3 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I was going to post my song "Under the Sign of the Lady" but I re-read a post from my other thread and there was someone who had the same thought I had: To copy "Monty Python's Holy Grail" and have a couple traveling bards following the hero singing tales of his glory.

I think it would be cool if as soon as you go into battle they sing a song that pertains to battle cheering you on. This would be the main song, it is called "The Strongest and Mightiest Hero."Very good, dont even need any effects to it, i guess it is passible to make two bards start to sing at once, and give them an ability to become players companions (or at least one of them and another will just fallow the first one). Hm. I see one problem there: You can play a female hero. And it would be quite ridiculous to be called "he" all the time if you're actually a she...but perhaps there can be a second version for heroines?

Though this would complicate things a bit, of course.Well i dont know what i can do about "she", however ill see if it is passible to make some kind of blacklist, where you can go to bard and tell him to not sing some song when you are around, or something like this. There is this wonderful version of "Dragonborn comes" song posted on youtube and the singer, Malukah seems to be very positive about the modding community. So maybe it's worth asking if she would agree to use (and edit, so just the first part of the song would go) it in this project? I like her version, it's very sweet, and some diversity in the game would be appreciated.I would love to have her here, but it looks like she is very hard to contact, her public mail is probably full of spam mails. I tryed to contact Happy Harry Toons over you tube but it seems to be impossible. If you are making singing companions, you should make that an optional file, when this mod is created. I only want bards singing more stuff in inns, not adoring fans. :DIf this will be just an dialogue option, then it should not be a problem.

pyrofreak123 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) someone get a vocals version only of Leliana's Song from Dragon Age: Origins? Though it's in a different language unique to the DA world, which wouldn't make sense story-wise. Edited December 12, 2011 by pyrofreak123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragazhar Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 more songs would ROCK!!! What about as the story progresses, you get more songs sung in taverns. and btw.. bards did not always just sing. they told stories.. could play a lute tune while telling a story of an ancient time where the king of so n so was murdered and a hero sent by the Emperor came investigate the crime or another story where a thief turned hero witnessed a murder of an important official and was sent to find his heir.... :) that kind of thing... .. yes ive played every Elder Scroll game eva!! have bards tell riddles... where'sd the riddles go? What is more beautiful than the face of your god yet more wicked than a demon's forked tongue. Dead men eat it all the time.. Live men who eat it die slow?

punxdog Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Looking good peeps. Ok, since I've been 'volunteered', I'll be the master of ceremonies [i'm actually a good presenter in RL] I'll throw up some level of co-ordination, so we can keep this free-form and yet still achieve useful mods. Remember your ideas and if you are working on a mod, get a name up for it and make it really obvious so I can add it. There's LOTS we can do before the CK, particularly learning how to do the lip-syncing and creating fuz files for the songs we do have, time to step up peeps. Oh and if you find suitable music 'out there' get permission and lyrics and link me [PM], and we'll add it to our resources. ===================== Raw Songs with permission - MalukahThe Strongest and Mightiest Hero - Truephobia - LyricsTankard of Ale - TruphobiaHide your gold - Truephobia - Lyrics .Fuz Songs - These are usable by the game, with lip sync.- nothing yet.
