The Witcher

[TheDoctor455]

Hello, this is just a general idea discussion board. I don't know anything about how to mod, nor do I have the time or patience to learn how. Anyway, the basic idea is to take what is best from Oblivion and The Witcher and combine them. From The Witcher, we would take the three different combat styles, the spells, the general atmosphere, some of the locations (either from the game or the books), some of the main characters.

 

Some ideas:

a new race mod: Witchers! fast reflexes, incredible prowess in battle and magic, and the ability to see in the dark, Witchers are professional monster hunters. Why isn't this just a class? Because when someone becomes a Witcher, they undergo a series of experiments called Trials that enhance all of their natural abilities (and unlock some new ones), but there's a price: people don't generally like Witchers, and treat them like vermin and then ask for their help.

 

Various weapon mods:

Ranging from simple retextures (for the silver shortsword) to adding new weapons.

 

New crafting and alchemy system:

CLS craftybits looks pretty good, but we need the alchemy system from The Witcher game because it just seems much more realistic (you don't really know what you're potions will do to you until you try them - unless you were using a recipe - and if its a dud, the effects vary from momentary dizziness to death.)

 

Quests:

A series of quests where villagers ask you to take out some monsters for them, and bring back proof that you've accomplished the deed.

 

New items:

The Witcher's Medallian: can be set to detect magic or monsters, can also be used to temporarily imbue your weapons to make them more effective at killing monsters. (In the books, monsters can't stand to even TOUCH a Witcher's medallian)

Dandelion's Lute: just for fun.

Salamandra Tokens: just for fun.

 

If you have any ideas, please post!

Eventhough I like the idea, The altered combat, magic and alchemy systems that you want would need you (the moder) to get in the deper game mechanics .., I don't think that that is possible, with just a mod.

 

 

The race might beable to be made and some of the items.

 

 

I'm no expert on this, so...., I might be wrong. :confused:

Great idea, but a lot of legal correspondence would have to make the rounds first. I would imagine that copyrights & trademarks would need to be addressed first.

 

I too would imagine that it might be difficult to merge two different combat systems into Oblivion, especially since both are tied into the left mouse button.

JQ's amulets have the witcher amulet there....although he blocked nearly every single on his mods...such a pity

That would be a great mod :).

 

I just wish I had the Witcher for my PC :(, but my PC wont be able to play it.
