LE Ultimus Lycanus: The Ultimate Werewolf Mod

[JoshuaCaleb]

Ok, I have been playing as a werewolf in Skyrim for some time and its bothered me that not only are they somewhat under-powered at later levels but there is also a severe lack of realism in how lycanthorpy works. I've tried various werewolf mods but none of them have all the features/realism I'm looking for. Being a werewolf should have serious side effects and well as big bonuses. The only real downside to being a werewolf right now is that you can't get a good night's rest. Big whoop.

 

So, since my computer for some reason seems incapable of running the Creation Kit (and I have no idea how to program scripts etc) I'm putting this request/discussion out there for what I think would be the ultimate werewolf mod. Note: some features I've borrowed from other werewolf mods and some I borrowed from Morrowind while others I cam up on my own. (also note: if there's a feature listed that is already part of vanilla Skyrim, I apologize, I have not been able to examine the code so I don't know all the exact features)

 

Features:

--Werewolf armor/damage scales with your character (one-handed & light armor perhaps?)

--When you return to your human form, your stamina will drop to zero (possibly activate some kind of "bleeding out" animation) after all, being a beast, like Aela said, can be exhausting.

--When you return to your human form, all your items will be dropped into the "Sack of Hircine" (think Bag of Holding mod) which will then fall to the ground for you to retrieve

--You must transform into your beast form once a day, otherwise, after three days you will transform automatically and will be unable to revert to your human form until you feed on someone (or make your stamina the determining factor of how long you can "hold onto" your human form without transforming)

--remove the once-a-day transformation limit (obviously) but still have a significant cooldown timer that is reduced the more stamina you have

--During your transformation, a "Fear" effect is activated, causing all but the mindless undead to back away from you

--Night-eye automatically activates at night (or toggleable)

--Feeding recovers health and activates health regen for a short time

--You can feed on other animals and creatures but they don't provide nearly as much health/regen

--Wolves don't attack you in human or beast form

--Unarmed combat is increased dramatically so that, in human form it is virtually impossible to lose a "bar fight"

--Companions and other npc werewolves use their beast form in battle

--When your health is low, you will automatically transform

--OPTIONAL: Transforming actually destroys all your items. Hardcore players only

--After reverting back to your human form, you cannot access the character menus for a short time

--Add a totem power that allows you transform any NPC into a werewolf (or other creature) for a short time

--Feeding on an npc strips them of all their clothes/armor possibly even their flesh (they become skeletons;)

 

So that's my idea so far, feel free to suggest your own and I hope someone with a better PC and more modding skills than I will make this a reality

I'd just like a mod that lets you eat other animals and not just people. Also, when you have Aela or one of the other werewolf characters with you, it would be cool if they transformed when you did.

OK, so here I am after you commented my Mod in Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=12953).

 

I will try to include these in future versions (I think they are good ideas):

 

When you return to your human form, your stamina will drop to zero

Option: When changed, all your items will be put into the "Sack of Hircine", which will then fall to the ground for you to retrieve

During your transformation, a "Fear" effect is activated, causing all but the mindless undead to back away from you

Night-eye automatically activates at night (or toggleable)

You can feed on other animals and creatures but they don't provide nearly as much health/regen (already researched this and it's ez to do, but time-consuming)

Wolves don't attack you in human or beast form

In consideration: Unarmed combat is increased dramatically so that, in human form it is virtually impossible to lose a "bar fight" -> I'll probably add a knockback-effect without any damage-buffs, cos like I said, I don't wanna buff the beast too much

Companions and other npc werewolves use their beast form in battle (Could be tough one to make)

Thanks for taking my ideas into consideration, I look forward to using your mod :) And hopefully it can even get promoted on one of the many Mod reviews on youtube like MMOxR
