Killerbuddy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The other day, I had quite the idea. I had an idea (came from watching the video of what the game developers did with a free period of time to do whatever they wanted with the game) of making spears, give them their own animations, own skill along with perk tree, and added it into the game through a very well made quest. Basically this quest, at first, teams you up with 4 other NPCs, a wizard, warrior, assassin, and archer. They hire you to be in their Band of Five to complete contracts some underworldly characters give you. Not to spoil anymore of the story, since if I can learn how to create animations, do textures, learn how to script (with also the intention of putting in player-view cutscenes), I would love to make this, but that is a at chance! I have a well thought out story, with much detail for each character. Would also get some voice action going on so these characters are actual characters. This would be on the scales of a DLC quest, like Knights of the Nine from Oblivion, for example. Anyways, the spears would be introduced in a certain part of the mod. You will be taught the basics of how to use it, and the different strategies for it (not there would be much, it's a weapon, you attack with it haha). Anyways, I do realize that what I have in mind, on the scale I am thinking of, is more of a pipe dream. Although it could be done, it would just take the know-how and money for all the softwares haha. Which I think it would be better for a team of people to create this mod, since it would be a whole lot, and the different stages would be on large scales. Selling point for this mod would be: -Intricate storyline, immersing you fully into the game-Deep character detail, with fully voiced NPCs-HUGE Questline, broken up into different parts-Very detailed content-and of course, SPEARS! Just another cool idea, which will probably stay an idea haha, but what do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raddra Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Spears are rumored to be a future DLC addition as they were seen in a bethesda released video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy1123 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I think it would be a good addition to the game. I would not want to see them as a missile weapon though. Thats a Javelins job. Although a spear was tossed just prior to engaging an enemy, it was done so with the intent of taking out a shield (or soldier) before hand combat. Here is a good source for ideas on the animation. Watch the movie Troy. When Achilles (Brad Pitt) and Hector (Eric Bana) fight before the wall. It is an amazing work by hollywood to bring a bit of realism and believablility to a brutal fight scene.

Moraelin Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Personally I would love to see both spears and javelins. I'd love to have a proper spear animation for my Hasta, much as it's at least realistically usable as a glaive too. And I have a pilum and verutum just begging for a throwing animations and some generous distribution to Empire troops. Quests and whatnot are, of course, good too. I love doing quests and stuff, so I'm certainly not dissing that idea. Far from it. But first of all, I'd just like some throwing animations. And if I'm allowed to make a wish, not only for spears. Throwing a knife or shuriken would be nice too. Or throwing a small jug full of Greek fire, anyone? The Byzantines LOVED to set their enemies on fire in any way they could imagine. Throwing a francisca (axe) like the Germanic warriors? The Franks conquered a whole continent with it, so it must have been good for something. Throwing a hammer like Thor? Now that's something that fits the Norse... err... Nords theme :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
