sweetsnowboarding Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 to above ^ this sounds great, because I was going to be playing the traditional lich anyway, thanks for the fast replies, and also heavy mist (like in the morthal swamps and ayleid ruins in oblivion) always reminded me of the lich, so I was just wondering If there would be like a misty interior for this cave/tomb/dungeon. as it would greatly add to the feeling (if this is possible) kinda like this skyrim pic I added (I think) In the cave I think it would look amazingalso, (sorry for so many questions I just love this mod) will there be special new spells for the traditional lich too?As far as the mists go, that's really up to the one that will actually design/create the cell. (I'm only handling the general mod design and all the programming) I would assume that a crypt interior would naturally carry a misty setting, but like I said, not really up to me. Like with the random NPC's, I could make the suggestion, but I do not wish to be completely overbearing in the design choices for something I will not be making myself, so I cannot give you a guarantee. The Traditional Lich will not receive any special spells, but was decided that his portion of the questline would be a little bit longer in comparison to the other two, and he will receive a certain unique item that the other two will not be able to obtain. (This item will have a special scripted function that I won't really get into, but I think most people will agree that it's pretty cool once they see it themselves. :)) sweet!! thanks so much for all the info, I think i'm done mobbing you with questions for now :) thanks!

VorlaHusian Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hmmm, what to do as a Lich? Most Lich's send out minions to do their work for them - such is their power - like collecting bodies and remains for more minions, spreading death and disease so they have more bodies and remains to raise more minions, eventually turning every living being for a 500 mile radius into an unliving army, and for that you need the mist. It wouldn't be right otherwise. Another thing to do as a Lich is spreading fear and rumor of your power by using the local telephone system - people who love to tell tales. Eventually you are so feared and loathed that adventurers bring snacky items to you and play at being the hero until you kill them and raise them as ... a skeletal hero. They then go off and play stabby with other heroes. It is so much fun. Anyway, I'm off to bed to dream about being a Lich. Night all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that was a suggestion, but I suppose I should point out that your life as a Lich won't be that...menacing. You will strike fear into people when they see you coming, and you will have several methods of wreaking havock, but the main questline focuses around you learning about and transforming into a Lich and then uncovering an...irregularity in the Lich Guild. We will implement several side quests where you can exercise your need to be cruel and malevolent, but the core quest will not have this feel.

VorlaHusian Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hehehe. No, not a suggestion. Just me typing out loud ... thinking out loud on a PC ... and having a little fun. But yeah, some side quests to spread fear throughout the land would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsnowboarding Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Will there be other liches in the main questline? And also do you think this mod will beat the skyrim dlc dawnguard (official cover released) to its release date this summer? The reason I'm asking Is I want to have my character perfected by the time dlc is released, and if the mod will not be released before dlc I will just have to change a few things about my character. Thanks! Edited May 2, 2012 by sweetsnowboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordAvernus Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Wait, I just realized. You need to create different Lich models for Khajiit and Argonian skeletal structures. I imagine that those would be put on hold for the initial release, with them being released in a later update like clothes for Liches.

Thanks! There will be other Liches in the main questline, in fact, they are integral to the plot. It focuses around these other Liches and your role within their group.

Thanks! I really can't say. I'm certainly hoping I could release it around that time, but I can't give you any guarantees one way or the other, sorry.
