leoxastaroth Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi guys, so basically I have this idea for a mod or a set of mods that I would love to see, however, im crap at modding, Ive tried to learn but it seems out of my reach right now, anyway I know requesting something like this is a long shot, but thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to look. Alright so on to the mod, the basic theme of the mod that I had in mind, is basically an alternate version to the main story, Im not requesting a change or alteration of the main story, but something along side it perhaps. What I love about Skyrim is the fact you can practically do anything, you have freedom, and thats what makes it such a great game, yet at the same time, the lack of a clear morality choice in most situations, or the freedom to pick who you want to side with kinda irks me. I always had this thought after finishing the main quest, Why could you side with Alduin or the other dragons? Yes I know that he regards you as lesser/ hates all mortals etc. etc. But your the dragonborn, even though some prophecy somewhere says you are a hero, in a world as dark as the one Skyrim is set it, I really think corruption or being a bit carried away with your power is not out of the question. What if joined Alduin instead of fighting against him? Like the dragon-priests of old. What if he accepted you? And granted you an even greater power than you already have? What if you became so powerful you could absorb Alduin himself. The story behind this would obviously need some work, but onwards to the individual mods themselves. Armor: While I know dragon scale / dragon bone armor exists in-game Im really not a fan of either, they seem way too 'dragon hunter' to me (And yes I am aware thats pretty much what you do) while with my idea for these set of mods is to be more draconic / dragon friendly. My first idea for a set of armor would be one forged out of metal rather than dragon parts, not a reskin of the existing dragon armors, but one that would be much more draconic, more-so similar to the daedric set, perhaps something fashioned with wing like shoulder-pieces or dragon-head like helms. My second idea for an armor piece was one based on more of a 'skin' based transformation of sorts. By that I mean a set of armor / weapons that are part of the dragonborns body rather than armor he can take on and off (Though for technical aspects they would be just armor pieces), The final look of this would be something of a human-dragon hybrid, with weapons being fist like claws, I am NOT suggesting a dragon-furry type thing, more so like a hybrid between dragon and human, great examples of something like this are Deathwing and Alexstraza's human forms in World of Warcraft, though of course for Skyrim it would perhaps be themed towards Alduin or other dragons. This one would perhaps be the hardest to do. Weapons: Weapon ideas I had were not anything too extravagant just more so draconic themed weapons, or better to say really dragon lord themed weapons, elvish weapons in generic fantasy settings are a good inspiration for this just a bit more dragony, with the addition of things like wing-hilts or designs. Another weapon idea I had which was mentioned in the armor section was dragon fists / claws, which would basically be fist weapons, dovakhin's hands transformed in to draconic claws. (Although most likely not possible, the added animation of the werewolves claw attacks would make this really sweet.) Abilities: I think when it comes to abilities Bethesda has actually given us a great variety and most of which are actually pretty draconic, from summoning a dragon to summoning a storm, a few additions which I would like to see to make the addition to these 'Dragonlord Mods' would be things such as Dragon Riding, more stable dragon allies, hatchling summoning (Im aware midas magic has this but I was thinking of a hatchling smaller in size and greater in number, and while I cringe to say it, dragon-transformation, I know there is a rather buggy mod out there that does this, and I say cringe because I was more aiming the theme of these mods to be half-dragon hybrid rather than just a full on dragon shapeshift, still would be nice to see. Quests: My main idea for a quest was a way to get all of the above goodies, and my two ways of doing this, would have been either an alliance with Alduin, being gifted by him with new powers, affinity and well general awesomeness, or, absorbing Alduin's essence somehow, taking in a large portion of his power. Anyway as I said thanks for taking the time to read, if any modder wants to have a go at any of this stuff or change anything at all feel free, just throwing an idea out there!
