candlepin Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'm hoping to get some feedback about a mod I'm working on. One of the things the mod will do is add blood and organ drops to animals and the humanoid races of Skyrim. I'd like to hear what people think about whether the organs should be "grouped" or "separated". Below I give two possible examples of how this could break down. Option 1, Grouped:Humans (Nords, Redguards, etc drop "human" hearts, livers, etc)Elves/Mer (Altmer, Dunmer, etc drop "elf" hearts, livers, etc)Khajiit (Khajiit drop "khajiit" hearts, livers, etc)Argonians (Argonians drop "argonian" hearts, livers, etc)Giants (Giants drop "giant" hearts, livers, etc) Option 2, Separated:Nords (Nords drop "nord" hearts, livers, etc)Redguards (Redguards drop "redguard" hearts, livers, etc)Altmer (Altmer drop "altmer" hearts, livers, etc)Dunmer (Dunmer drop "dunmer" hearts, livers, etc)etc I'm really leaning towards Option 1. Firstly, it would be a lot less work :tongue: and this mod has been SO much work already....But I also like the idea of tying certain racial groups together (specifically humans and mer). Option 2 would not only be more work, but I'd have to do things like changing certain vanilla items (e.g. human hearts) that I'd rather not do. This two big questions I have with Option 1 are: 1) Which group should Bretons belong to? Humans? Mer? Chance of either (e.g. chance of all human or elf parts)? Separate group? Certain parts human, certain parts mer (chance based)? I kinda like the last option. What do you think? 2) Should Orcs be grouped with other Mer or are they sufficiently different that they get their own group? My initial instinct was they should be in their own group, but maybe I'm biased. Thoughts? I'd really appreciate feedback. I'd like my mod to be both logical and as lore-friendly as possible. Your opinions and thoughts would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jannifer Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Lorewise, Bretons are human, and orcs are mer. And frankly, I think grouping makes much more sense, especially if you're writing new alchemical recipes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlepin Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 I was under the impression that Bretons had some elf heritage too. And I knew that orcs are technically mer (thus my question) but I wanted to hear if people thought that they had diverged significantly enough to not be grouped with other mer. No real preference here on my part though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
