Perks in Skyrim

[Fagros]

Hello. First of all sry my english, not my native language.

In that topic i want to speak about currently perk system in Skyrim.

Will be fine if every perks will have negative effect so you need to choose them hardly. I ask u to be more active in that topic and write your interesting ideas about perks negative effects and why do you think that perks must have those effects.

Also will be good with that system if perks will need only skill level cause u dont want take perk with negative effect that u dont want in game.

 

This is my list of changes that i will moderate if I or somebody elso will give interesting ideas.

Better stealth = slower movement while crouch. Watch your step

Archery crits, bow damage = longer reload. Prepare your shoot.

Faster reload bow = less accuracy. Fast shots for close distances, not like now archers wipe a camps from stealth in 20sec.

Faster run with arrow ready = much less accuracy when run.

More armor = faster stamina ends and slower movement. Did u saw tanks in Formula 1?

Better lockpicking = faster lockpicks break. You know how to open locks a rly fast and u do it quickly and powerful, so mistakes are critical.

Better stealing = worse prices for stealed things cause when steals is very often on the streets - its harder for merchants to realize that goods.

Specializing on one type of weapon (axe, sword, mace) will make another types a few weaker. Universal or specialist.

 

Chance to fail craft. The better enchants, smithing, alchemy items have a worse chance of success. Creating epic items need a lot of concentration, skill and luck.

 

In that way you character will be weaker then in vanilla game. So positive part of perks can be increased so you can sacrifice some skills that u wasnt like so strong but make your favorite aspects even stronger. Or can left positive and only add negative cause now game is too easy. This mod is not for lovers of "Im GOD" gameplay, but for those who like challenge, roleplay and balance.

 

Ofcourse this will be very hard even with SKSE until CK will be released, but if we will make a complete list of changes that will be interesting to a lot of people, may be anyone will make it in a short period after CK release.
