fd2222 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) What I would really love to see and help build is a mod that fundamentally gives the world itself much more depth and life sort of from a wilderness survival standpoint. If anyone has ever played WURM online it has a lot of the aspects and features i would like to see in a skyrim mod. Wurm is a game where pretty much everything and anything you see in the world can be interacted with/ harvested crafted and enhanced. there are a few mods out there that add a few of the elements in that realm, like imps more complex needs camping mods and hypothermia mods. and these are awsome mods but i feel they arent reaching their true potential without a living breathing in depth world to support what they offer. The Idea im proposing is general at the moment but I'm thinking it would entail adding an entire new skill set. The ability to Craft and build things outside the realm of weapons and armor, with the use of tools that you have to craft and build. Skills like Fishing, Mining, Skinning, and butchering, Chopping down trees, digging holes in the ground to search for artifacts treasure or collect Dirt sand gravel as a resource, road building, House building, everything would be able to be improved and have its effectiveness scale with a percentage. For instance you chop a tree and cut it up into logs and smaller pieces,(also harvesting seeds, sap / fruit/ nuts etc) each peice of wood would have a quality rating based on 1-100, lets say your wood chopping skill is 25/100 and the tree was mid sized (not to old) so its quality rating is around 45 or so. with your skill you can manage to cut and carve peices from it that average between your skill and the trees quality, So you get pieces that range from 29-32 in quality. you use a saw and a plane that you could craft buy or steal to cut the logs into planks 2x4,s etc. with a carving knife you then use a wooden pole thatyou carved out and carve it down to a fishing rod... combine with a hook ad some waxed fibre that you harvested and crafted and was able to improve to 30% .. cobine them all ti get a fishing rod that you can further inprove its quality.. the higher the quality the mnore fish bite and the bigger they are. you get a large fish item that can be cut into smaller filets (like a chese wheel). you gather some herbs and forage around for non macigal cooking herbs, nuts and seeds.. cook up a fish meal (which also has a quality rating. the better the quality the faster it fills you possibly granting buff at higher quality. Now imagine evertyhing out there using this. mining prospecting and tunneling .. using skill you prospect rock formations to find spots where ore of a type or multiple types are rich once you find it you can use tools to dig tunnels out of a mountainside to find the vein... i would imagine this could be done with a script that places cave walls from the sets in the Constructin set. as you go deeper into a tunnel. (house building could be done ine a similar fashion Carpentry where you can craft and place any furniture ingame Wax harvesting/candle/torch making, for use in crafting lighting for your homes and tunnels. ability to pick a spot and using the same general concept.. build walls fences etc to build enclosures, for animals, or defense etc Full gardening with a system that makes managing/watering treating for disease keeping vermin away a sort of mini challenge. House building anywhere (terrain deformation and bieng able to edit the landscape flora/fauna from ingame, as well as plant trees /crops etc. herding/ husbandry/ wildlife management (ranger) Ecosystems with more herd animals that migrate and predators follow prey, up and down the food chain and possibly Tracking skill .. Hopefully visual, but if not even just being able to use an ability that will tell you what and who passed what direction and roughly how long ago. Seasons that dictate what can and cant be foraged/harvested what animals are hibernating or migrating. Even a mod with half of these features would be a dream come true for me and hopefully any others. -F BTW i am a proffesional 3dartist, so if anyone is planning to develop anything like this.. I would love to help P.s sorry for my horrible sentence structure grammar and spelling, just dont have time to worry about it right now.
