LE Climb feature

[leinadisthegreat]

I recently showed my best friend skyrim for the first time ever, and he's more of a FPS/God of War type, so I thought maybe he would appreciate the game.

It took him an hour, but he got into it. Then I asked what he didn't like about it, as a curiosity.

" I like how it's open world and s***, and I love how it looks, and you can definitely get into it. But....why the f*** can't I climb s***?"

It hit me like a sloppy fish in the face.

CLIMBING!!! We live in Skyrim, for crying out loud! Why can't we CLIMB things?? Aren't you tired of those moments when you have to go around some wall because it's too high to jump?

"In Arkham City, I would just climb that s***." Indeed, my friend, we would.

So why hasn't this been made into a simple mod?

Whenever you run up to a high wall or something like that, you press E or A (keyboard or controller) and your character climbs it.

Sure, I know what you're thinking. What about the animation for the climbing?

Ok, I don't know much about modding, but my idea was to extract the ones used for Batman in Arkham City. Or copy them somehow, or base it off that.

Imagine climbing on a ledge somewhere off a mountain with you moving slowly left or right to make it to the other side to get some stupid chest with 45 gold, grand soul gems x2, and some f***ing enchanted elven warhammer.

So awesome.

This would change the game forever

Me and you think very alike. i was thinking this the other day. I play an assassin and i always try to jump up to the ledge of a roof or something but its too high. Now if I could climb up it it would totally increase the realism factor. + 1

Too practical and obvious to get any attention on these boards. It has to be like "Bringing Final Fantasy/League of Legends/Assassins Creed/Star Wars/ Pokemon to Skyrim"

Then let's go for a mod that adds an Arkham City factor! Hell, I would love some better hand to hand combat in skyrim, if I could beat people's asses in skyrim like I do in batman, I would be in heaven

I thought the same thing when I was on a ship. I want to climb the rigging. :l Unfortunately I think it's a much much bigger undertaking than y9u think... I think you would have to invent some physics for it, since there is currently absolutely nothing like the ability to climb in the game engine. And then you would have to go edit every single thing in the game that you think should be climbable and make it that way.

 

At the moment there are, I think, a couple mods that add rope arrows/grappling hooks (Sneak Tools is one of them, I don't remember others specifically). Might be the closest you're going to get anytime soon.

I miss not only climbing.

We need also the ability to crawl on the ground for hiding behind small rocks or things like that.

Very cool, I'll check those out. yeah I figured it would be a huge hassle, but the payoff would be almost a new game. The dynamics would drastically change, and to me, that seems worth the hassle, you know?

Climbing would be great

oblivion had 2 mods that added climbing: P-Froggys Wall Climbing and we had: Unnecessary Violence II

 

I would love to see a climbing mod for skyrim:D

Surprisingly, there is a climb animation used in Skyrim. If you do the quest ILL BY MOONLIGHT you can see it. However, you may not want to climb over city walls. You may may be very disappointed when see what's on the other side.
