[REQ] Sload Race

TES vets may remember the Sload from the often-overlooked prequel to Morrowind, Redguard. The legacy of the great necromancer, N'gasta, lives on in The Elder Scrolls series through his magnum opus, "N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis!", and I think it's high time that the slug-men return to the mainland from their coral city of Thras.

 

For those who haven't heard of the Sload, they are a little-understood, malevolent race that lives on a distant island to the south-west of Summerset Isle. They are renowned for their exceedingly cautious nature and long-term outlook, as much as they are for their casual disregard for all life, even that of their own kind. Their longevity, intelligence, and flawless memories make them ideal spellcasters, and in this regard, they display a natural aptitude for necromancy.

 

Though I understand that there are some restrictions when it comes to adding new animations, I suspect that by working off of the Argonian body model and skeleton, a skilled modeller could bring this race to life without the need for additional anims. The sheer bulk of the Sload would cause it's own issues with armour and clothing, but, worst case scenario, they could simply be NPC enemies who don't wear armour. Best case scenario, a work-around is found, and they become a playable race.

 

I'm heavily engaged in several projects at the moment (as well as real life!), and can't offer much beyond ideas and moral support. Nevertheless, if anyone feels like taking this concept on, you'll have all the support and kudos I can muster! :biggrin:

That looks awesome! I will definitely be watching for this when it comes out.

 

I assume you're making it primarily as an NPC/playable race, but I can see this becoming the basis for new quests/worldspaces/sluggy goodness. Keep us posted!

It's in skyrim. Mod moonpath to elsweyr, it's an npc/ quest end boss. He's free to use for any modders, just rip him out of the BSA file, also got a pretty good imga follower mod on skyrimnexus, Clyde the imga follower

Enjoy
