noelbusse Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) I lack the time and expertise to do this, but I think it's a fairly good idea. Enough so that I'm going to write it down here for someone else to hopefully stumble across in the future. Would it be possible to make a shout that allows you to enslave a dragon when their health gets under the 10 percent range, kind of like the Dovahkiin did with Odahviing? I don't know this for sure, but I think Odahviing spends most of his time flying around High Wrothgar and just comes when you call him. What I'm thinking is that this shout would work on ANY dragon in the game (including those packed with mods, e.g. - Deadly Dragons, Skyrim Monster Mod). The first level word would allow you to enslave dragons up to level 30, second up to level 60, third up to level 90, and so on. After you use the shout on them, the dragon would fly off to some predetermined location (again, a lot like Odahviing) and basically just patrol the area until you use a second power to call on him. Without getting ahead of myself, I think there's a lot of different paths you could go with this. Maybe with a large time investment (balancing obviously isn't a top priority here, but some wouldn't hurt) you could gain the power to enslave multiple dragons and call on them all at the same time. I have this picture in my head of the Dovahkiin rolling into Solitude and summoning three enslaved Dracolich's on the entire population, decimating the whole town. The problems I see here are: - you probably wouldn't be able to use the same shout to enslave and call the dragons- I've been told shouts are really tricky to work with, opposed to just making spells- if you did eventually want to enslave and call on multiple dragons, that gets into making a bunch of different shouts, or needing to implement a power that brings up some kind of menu or something- again, balance obviously isn't a high priority with something like this, but this could seriously unbalance the game Like I said, I have no idea how this would be implemented, but I have a feeling the scripts for the Odahviing plot event and Dragon Shout would probably be a good place to start looking. If anyone has any thoughts feel free to post. Personally, I think this would fit into the existing Skyrim lore really, really well.
