Realistic Hunting Incintives

I love the detail in Skyrim, the wildlife in the woods in particular. When I'm doing a quest and unexpectedly see a fox/deer roaming around, it really adds to the immersion factor. However, there's not much purpose for them beyond aesthetics.

 

I'd really like to add more to the hunting aspect of the game but making the loot worth something. I'm thinking maybe a guy up in the mountains, somewhat secluded, that you can bring pelts to for either more coin or special items. Something along those lines... just a way to make hunting worth more than 10gold. Also, a way to make the hunting itself more challenging, like only being able to 1-shot-kill wildlife if you're completely hidden; and if they see you they get 1.5x faster and their health increases 10fold, to make them harder to kill. Those qualities together would make hunting more worthwhile, and overall more enjoyable. Also, maybe adding more variety of creatures (simply changing the colors of existing foxes/deer/etc. for distinction) and making their pelt redeemable for different amounts would add even more depth. Just a thought.

 

In short, I enjoy hunting in skyrim but I'd like more out of it. What do you guys think?

 

 

 

(by the way, I've been a leech on these forums since morrowind.. I plan to actually contribute to the modding community with Skyrim, so that's why my account is only two weeks old)

A hunger/thirst/sleep mod will fix this

 

But game hunting well, yeah personally it would be cool to have different sized bucks for trophies and such. Good mod request.

 

Yeah, that'd be awesome to!

I was honestly a bit disappointed when I booted Skyrim up, only to find that no 'hardcore' mode is available. That added a lot of replay value to Fallout: New Vegas.

Aye, such a beautiful world is begging to be lived in, and increase the drops of salt piles, seriously I can't cook anything in my playthroughs, and food is meh compared to healing spells. This has to be changed for the sake of immersion. Oh well, back to eating raw salmon - I eat raw salmon anyways :laugh: Edited by Jackal2233

Love the idea, I've been thinking of the same thing myself. Hope someone makes it :D

 

Well, once the CK is released I'll definitely begin on my version of the idea.. if anyone wants to collaborate I'm all for it.

I haven't made a mod since Morrowind, so I'll be rusty, but it won't take long to get back in the groove.

I think a mod like from oblivion, Bow Sway (think it was an option in Deadly Reflexes), would also make a good addition.

And maybe not really something for this mod, but head shots would also be nice. For example, shooting a bear while hidden won't 1-hit-kill him, unless head shot.

A mad idea... if checking whether it is a head shot or not is possible, maybe add an extra pelt when you make a head shot, since the whole body of the beast is intact and add a head when you kill it without hitting the head, to put some wood behind it and hang it up at the wall. :biggrin:

i hate how the bartenders/ taverns sell Food and Liquor ... to me they are throw away items... i dont wanna buy that BS...

i wish they sold healing, magicka potions...

i mean to say... food should have more healing ability ... or magic restoring .. or something worth it cause its dead weight to me as it is lol

...

how about add like, rarely when u kill a buck u will find one with a huge antlers, and its worth a lot of gold for that piece.

, and other animals have similar things... but its like 1/30 chance or some such.

a rarer variant of skeever tail lol thats just worth more $
