Realistic River Flow

At first I thought it was actually a mod already, until someone asked if I was remembering something from the Bethesda GameJam.

 

I was. (0:40 mark)

How hard do people think it would be to make a mod that did that (the river flowing realistically, rather than what you get at the moment where you have water flowing into/through solid rock, the banks, sand, whatever, and out the other side with no interruption.)

The W.A.T.E.R. mod doesn't do this for the majority of the river, although it does improve stuff like rocks in the river.

 

I have no modding knowledge myself, sadly, so any more informed comments would be peachy, hah!

Good video, wished some of the features in it had been put into the game...although watching the part with the Kinect shouts made me cringe at how stupid it looked seeing a guy shout dragon language at a screen.

 

I definitely loved the water in that video, just too bad they never included it. It'll either end up being in an update, a DLC you have to pay for or potentially as a mod. Looks really stupid having the water go through solid object. Alas, even the rain does it.

*Sigh*

I did say, in the OP, that I had the WATER mod, and it's not what I'm after.

 

Anyone who could actually make a mod like the one in the vid link (IF its even possible. I don't know, hence me asking) would be pretty useful about now...

So...no actually HELPFUL comments, then? Great -_-

Well, what did you expect? Everyone watched that video. Everyone wants flow based water, seasonal foliage and spears.

If there was a person (or a team) that was capable of this and had the time to do that, there would be a mod. But there isn't. Except for Water, which is not good enough for you.

 

Or are you inquiring further because you mean to do this mod yourself?

"I guess this MUST be possible seeing the devs have done it."

 

You're forgetting that devs have their hands on some things modders can't access.

Source code and such, the things which allow editing the game data itself, instead of just editing some minor things. (Yes, I said minor. When comparing mods to what devs could do, everything is minor)

It's a different story if devs are willing to make same things as modders make.
