feuerkorn Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 What I would really love to see is an animation for absorbing dragon souls and the player character is shaken or even lifted in the air while absorbing. Something like the quickening in Highlander, if someones head is taken. Just an idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsnics Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 And i could've sworn I saw one of the videos show the dragonborn yelling as he absorbed the soul, it would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otacon2940 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Maybe shaken the first time it happened BECAUSE he's lifted in the air. Then after that, he just accepts it and opens his arms while floating to receive it. Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsnics Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 This is what I'm talking about, it's at about 4:18 in this video, right after he kills the second dragon. It's obvious they've unequipped his weapon and had him start a fire spell of some sort, but it sounds like he's shouting "Dovahkiin!!!!" I was just hoping for something as simple as that. I'm sure someone can script that no problem, and just for a moment cease all combat and make your character invulnerable - 10 seconds is all I need. Call it the ultimate finishing move or something, it's a battle cry after a huge adrenaline rush. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsnics Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Maybe I'll give it a shot, then again I really wouldn't know where to begin even with the CK. But it doesn't seem like many people are interested in this anyways.... so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runestyr Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I could go for the arm-lifting, indicating perhaps that the soul-absorption was a pleasant or at least interesting event. In vanilla, your toon just stands there like, "I say, the dragon's flesh is burning away and blowing at me as a glowing orange wind. Funny, that."

But it doesn't seem like many people are interested in this anyways.... so.... I like your idea a lot. I was a little disappointed in the lack of engagement the character has with with the whole act. No matter how many dragons I slay, I still have that Keanu Reeves "whoa..." moment. I would also like a finishing animation that actually lines up with the dragon and doesn't look all clunky and mismatched...but that's kind of off-topic.

jdsnics Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think it'd be a good start though, snatching that animation and that sound clip and throwing it together to make a rudimentary "quickening"/soul absorb for lack of a better word. There was also talk of being lifted in the air, wonder if the dragon priest lich animation could be utilized in some form for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
