ProjectVRD Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Skeletons are pretty lame in Skyrim, does any modder here feel it is about time they were turned into a menacing combatant whose combat skills are higher and their appearance is higher res or scarier? Here are some pictures that give skeletons a bit more character as such: http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/194208/skeleton-bones-danger-evil.jpg http://imgs.mi9.com/uploads/scary/4760/free-evil-skeleton-wallpaper_422_86138.jpg http://www.flixya.com/files-photo/k/i/w/kiwi_orange_socks-1841342.jpg http://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1333/84/1333846128740.jpg http://evil-games.biz/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Evil-games-wallpaper-1.jpg http://cs11132.userapi.com/u116833861/-6/x_c7d66a15.jpg Anyone else feel that our Skeleton enemies should have a bit more prominence in Skyrim, because at the end of the day if I was living in Skyrim I would imagine being more afraid of an undead Skeleton than a bandit, I would imagine bandits in the medieval times were also afraid of the idea of an undead Skeleton. So hoping somebody can overhaul their appearance and give them a combat upgrade! Give us a reason to fear walking into caves, dungeons and lairs. Personally speaking, I love the look of the second picture. It is not a contemporary image of a Skeleton but it seems to personify undead, perverse and twisted idea of a dead man walking. :) Edited November 7, 2012 by ProjectVRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldreactive Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Some skeletons in dawnguard have armor (even if it is reinforced leather/hide) and are much harder to kill, some act more like humans too. Draugur already got an upgrade to be more human-like in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectVRD Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Aye, but even with the Dawnguard patch I still see a Skeleton and think I can just punch it to bits :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarborman Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sadly its because you can punch most skeletons to bits, they are the weakest kind of undead in elderscrolls games. Back in the past was when there was more variation in undead types, you'd see bonelords or bonewalkers or lichs or bonewolfs or zombies or the several variants of skeletal enemies and even regular ghosts (instead of just the wispmother). Non-draugur undead need an overhaul. Even though what I've seen of the Dragonborn DLC, is to include some new undead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldreactive Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 No, the Dragonborn DLC just brings back old monster favorites (mostly from what I've heard), such as Goblins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
