JanusForbeare Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 This castle looks huge and complex, which is a good thing, provided it's not sparsely decorated. I like how it's almost more of a fortress-city than a simple castle. Do you plan to populate it? I voted for pic #2, since you can see most of the details that appear in pic #1, as well as some other areas. However, for future screenshots, you might want to consider using the togglemenus console command ("TM") to remove your compass and crosshairs. Since you have such beautiful GFX mods running, it's a shame to clutter up your pics with the interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane4355 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 This castle looks huge and complex, which is a good thing, provided it's not sparsely decorated. I like how it's almost more of a fortress-city than a simple castle. Do you plan to populate it? yes the idea is to populate the castle, the city, and everything. I want to basically turn it into a living, breathing, running new city to the game and add interaction to the townsfolk, add in a huge main quest that intertwines and adds smaller side quests, etc.... there is quite a lot i want to do and it may take some time. right now my focus is on the castle itself finishing the interiors and doing the rest. Yes I am paying a lot of focus on design and attention to detail. i am focusing on almost every little detail there is and tweaking each room's lighting effects to come out stunning with the graphics mods i use. I hope you can notice that with the courtyard... A lot of the exterior i have not worked on much because i been so focused on the interior but the layout of the exterior, as far as where i want everything is about 80% complete. its just a matter of tweaking it, adjusting performance, clutter, etc... I may even adjust the housing quarter and enlarge it. I also want to make a secondary entrance into the castle grounds through the housing quarter, which is sounding intricate as it goes through my head *evil grin*. Unfortunately, this is what I am good at, putting this mod together. i have little to no experience with scripting other than taking a programming essentials class in college. I used to mess around with the quest dialogue in Morrowind but never touched it or even attempted modding in oblivion. I am waiting to see how fun that is especially with all these activators, headings and markers. Picture 2 does look good to me too but i was not sure... i will keep the poll running for a couple of days see the opinions i get. i don't plan on using that exact picture but its an idea of angle i will use.

Jakisthe Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I don't know how possible/lore friendly this would be, but what about an arboretum? We saw that dwarves had a tree installed in one of their complexes, so how about a forest inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane4355 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 I am dissapointed in how some of these pictures turned out. it does look a whole lot better in game with the lighting in some of these pics and i wasnt going to make adjustments so that they are picture friendly but trust me all these places look fantastic in game, although i will make changes in future. it is also dependant on what graphics settings you use and if so, what ENB and FXAA settings you are using.

So the presence of my UI (the compass) is in there but all future pics will have that taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolambot Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) THis is very very cool, but could I make a suggestion? You should make players EARN it, maybe it is held by a group of evil seperatists, or skooma barrons. IMagine an epic quest to take back the castle? Be much more likely to get my download, thats for sure, because it looks awesome, but I like to earn rewards like that :D EDIT: Nvm, you are already doing that! Haha, awesome, definitely going to track this, does it have a nexus page? Edited March 3, 2012 by chocolambot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
