LE Avatar Total Converssion

[TheKazz]

So as I am sure anyone that is a fan for the Avatar series on Nickelodeon knows the season finale for the second series called The Legend of Korra hired early today (er.. yesterday I suppose) and ever since The Last Airbender I have thought that an Avatar game would be freaking incredible! So I started thinking about it and well I wouldn't say that it would be easy but it would be possible to make a total conversion for Skyrim that could be about as close to an Avatar game as we will likely ever get considering that I doubt Nickelodeon will ever sell the rights for a game (we can still hope right?)

 

Any way I was thinking that part of it is already in the game I mean you already have fire-bending and part of water-bending with destruction magic. Fus Ro Dah could even be used as air-bending (sorta) and I know that I have seen some mods that would work for earth-bending ("Earth Prison" if I remember right?) I know its still a long way off but its a start.

 

There are even ways to do blood bending with control/command effects (Command Deadra spell) or with the new vampire telekinesis spell that is part of Dawn Guard

 

And to make it feel more like the avatar universe you could even replace mobs with stuff like platypus-bears, polar bear-dogs, weasel-snake, tiger-dillos, ect. (also there needs to be one bear JUST bear) and replace dragons with sky bison (though you would have to make them non-hostile)

 

Adding in armor and clothing from the series would also be really cool Korra's clothing is really cool and would even be a good standalone mod by its self as would the White Lotus armor Air-bender robes would be really cool as well.

 

Word walls could teach you advanced bending techniques and the soul stones could give you bonuses to certain types of bending (like being able to blood bend when ever you want and not just on a full moon) The alters could be converted to represent past Avatars and will give you buffs as they do now.

 

Adding canteens or having to use gourds to store water for water bending would also be really cool and water-benders being able to swim really fast or even being able to use a whirl wind sprint while swimming that will launch them forward in any direction they are looking including strait up.

 

There would need to be some expanded unarmed combat as most of the fighting in the series is based around martial arts so adding some more animations for unarmed fighting including kicks, jumping attacks, spinning attacks ect watch the show try to make some animations that mimic that fighting style. =) you could also use it to balance the need for both magicka and stamina by making unarmed or just close attacks use stamina and long range missile attacks use magicka. Increasing knock back/down chance and making it actually cause characters to fly backward a bit would also be a really nice effect.

 

You would also have to remake most of the perk trees but not sure how would be the best way to go about that would be.

 

Replacing the enemy archetypes to fit with the avatar universe would also have to happen we cant have fire benders using healing spells now can we. Adding chi-blockers as a high level/difficulty enemy archetype would be awesome or as a follower!

 

A cool idea for a weapon mod based on the avatar series would be Sakka's star metal sword this could be added by making a new random cell even which will cause a meteor to fall into the cell which can be looted for star metal you take the star metal to the sky forge and Yourlan Greymane will tell you about some legend of a black smith that once made a sword of star metal but due the the extreme rarity of the metal the technique was lost so you must go find the journal of said black smith in order for Yourlan to create the star metal weapon (you can choose if it is a sword, axe, or hammer or 2h version)

 

I would also love to see the main quest line replaced perhaps it could start out as you (being the Avatar) being contacted by the White Lotus who tell you that they believe that you are the Avatar and must come with them to train. Once you arrive at the while lotus sanctuary you begin training but the sanctuary comes under attack by [insert enemy organization here] could be chi-blockers, non-bender mob, evil benders, ect ect. during the battle the masters of the white lotus tell you that you must escape and lead you through a secret passage out of the sanctuary they explain that they must go into hiding and that your avatar training will have to wait until the organization has been stopped they send you on increasingly important tasks to help stop the threat until finally you face down the leader(s) of the organization and put a stop them once and for all. Yes I know that is about the most cliche story line in the history of the world but to be fair that is pretty much the jist of every quest line in skyrim (just sayin) and I only took about 2 minutes to write it (mostly cuz I type slow) if you feel so inclined the please write a more interesting and unique story. =)

 

Well that about sums it up! I would love to see a total conversion mod because as I said in my opening paragraph it is likely to be as close to an Avatar video game as there will ever be but I would even be happy with even small parts from this making it as small standalone mods as I said I think many of the cloths and armors from both The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra would make great mods or the star metal weapon hell even adding new magic that could pass for water or earth bending and I would be happy. maybe over time a collection of small mods could be combined to work together to make a total conversion idk but I do know that I would download any sort of avatar mod in a heart beat!

 

PS. IF anyone does decide to step up to the plate on this one you have got to add a wondering NPC that has a cart full of cabbages and any time the cart is tipped over he yells "NO!!! NOT MY CABBAGES!!!" HAHAHAHA! =D
