Venus flytrap mod

[globiumz]

So we got werewolves, vampires, lichs, demonic power ups, and someone at PES is working on a mod that enables you to be infested with a parasite. So, what about a mod that gives you the option of becoming a half plant, half human creature?

 

It would have weakness to fire, and regenerative powers in sunny and rainy weather. During the night you would receive a power down in terms of regen power, perhaps also some negative side effects. You should also be weaker in cold environments like Bruma and get negative side effects there, especially at night. Something could also be done relating to water...

 

A lesser power that temporarily "plants" you into grassy ground, increasing your regen powers and adding shock resistance at the cost immobility. And a greater power that binds your opponent with vegetation and sucks their life force dry, transfering it to you. A boost in alchemy also makes sense since it's about mixing up ingredients and a lot of them are natural.

 

Your hands would be replaced with venus flytraps and deal additional damage, instead of that sucky H2H style. Of course it would still level your H2H skills and damage dealt would be based on the H2H skill. Taking out the ability to use other weapons feels restricting, but I don't want it to be overpowered either. Still, I want it to be specific and intended for fewer classes (Not a power up that just everyone will want to use...).

 

After you have been turned into a venus flytrap you would have course look a lot more plantlike. I don't really want it to be compatible (not CTD/BSD type of incompatible) with any other power up mod to be honest. Some of the vampire mods use vampires ages and one of the lich mods use a lich level, maybe something similar could be used here?

 

So anyway, I know a lot of people make the mistake of talking about their plans about mods and stuff (like the sticky says), and I don't really know anything about how the CS works yet but I intend to learn. Anyway, what do you guys think? Good or bad, stuff to add, etc?

Bump. Also, this is something I want to make myself, not a request. Anyway, can you guys recoommend anything?

It's against the rules to "bump" your own thread. That said, if no one responds to your thread, maybe it's because they have nothing to say about it, or maybe they don't want to post just for the sake of posting, or maybe they just don't care, or maybe like me, they think this is the dumbest thing that has been posted all week.

or maybe like me, they think this is the dumbest thing that has been posted all week.

I dunno, the one where someone wants to make it so that you have to go to the bathroom (bushes) in game seems like a worse idea. I mean seriously, with the 1/30 time scale, you'd be having to run over to the side of the road every 5-10 minutes real time.

 

At any rate. The biggest problem with such a mod is the sheer mechanics of it, replacing the character with something that would require completely different meshes and animations would simply be too much trouble than it's worth. And at best, you'd end up with something that you probably wouldn't want to play for any real length of time, even if you were a dire fly trap enthusiast (was actually hoping to find a word for them... Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be one yet).

Sounds like Zhan from the show farscape. human form, just blue and a type of plant. Shouldn't be hard to do, but I'm not good at this stuff.

Hmm, well maybe I should just try to make a playable Spriggan race? Oh, and no need to flame. I'm at least rying to be creative, instead of making Pornblivion mod #36281694879672809850930.

 

Edit: I just found this, so I guess there's no need for making new textures and stuff.
