Arrun Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hey Modders, So i was just wondering if it would be possible to create a mod that brings back the old oblivion style gameplay a bit more : When wielding a 2H weapon, be able to use spells through an alternate hotkey without needing to unequip the 2H itself, ie, you can still block and swing it, but by Eg. pressing 'Z' you will cast your selected spell (say fireball) with your left hand while holding your 2h in the right (probably easiest to accomplish by making the right use the 1h animation while casting the spell i'd imagine.) For say Firestorm that requires 2 hands, perhaps allow also for it to be hotkeyed without having to unequip any weapons? A final idea i had was when weilding 1 Handers without a shield, use the 2h animations and allow them to deal more damage eg. 50% more damage when weilding the 1h with 2 hands, and then use the hotkey approach above for spells. Yay/Nay? Possible/Impossible? Cheers to all the talented modders who read/appraise this, you make this game infinitely better than bethesda ever could with your great work !

Zavek00 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 i actually miss this system a lot too i also miss that if you wear armour you arent experienced with also reduces spell effectivnes kinda makes it more obvious why mages dont wear armor instead of heavy... except for the bous to mana regen.

Agreed, the spell effectiveness thing was good for balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, you won't see me making such a mod. I'm a huge fan of the (even older) morrowind style. More realistic in my eyes. Tho Gl finding a modder that's up for it!(It is possible to do this!)

Aroddo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 it should be trivial since the hotkey is already in place.at the moment it is used to invoke powers and dragonshouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
