Lugganath Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 This is a request for the extinct large Megaloceros Elk to be added in game, perhaps in rare herds scattered around Skyrim. The current Elk in game slightly resemble what the Megaloceros may have looked like...however they are too small and the antlers probably aren't big enough or the same.. No one knows what the Megaloceros may have really looked like color wise of course...but here are images of the skeletons/art: http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/Pictures/web/g/j/d/Elk.jpg http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9286/elkgif6295522zj8.jpg and... My link Another idea is a mod that adds simply small/realistic wild Rats to all of the dungeons and sewers in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion209 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If I upscaled Elk to approximately the size in the image, would that satisfy your request? I think it would be good enough to pass for a Megaloceros then. Of course, they wouldn't be rare if I did that, but why should they be? Also, would you want them to be named Megaloceros?

Dudeman325 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Automatic Variants could be useful here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could work, and yes Megaloceros, it would be interesting to see how upscaled normal Elk would fit in the Skyrim environments. I will check out this automatic variants thing as well, first I have heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion209 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Alright, I'll go ahead and do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion209 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well, it's done. I made 2 versions, one adds the Megaloceros as a standalone creature, which is about as common as Elk, the other replaces Elk.Get it HERE, under optional files. Hope you enjoy it, but I'm open to making changes.http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/1001123-1355863861.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lugganath Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 I used the Bellyache creature skin for it, I managed to find and kill one quickly in game here are some pics. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q194/InsaneDwarf/ScreenShot25.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q194/InsaneDwarf/ScreenShot22.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q194/InsaneDwarf/ScreenShot23.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q194/InsaneDwarf/ScreenShot24.jpg Overall it looks great, though it would be awesome if it had its own unique skin to set it apart from the other standard Elk and Deer in game.

Lugganath Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Another cool thing for Elk/Carribou in general would be the scream/sound the male ones yell on occasion...it can be heard a few times here: Just a small thing for immersion, wilderness ambiance. Maybe with a short animation, they shouldn't do it too often to where its annoying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion209 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure they already do that... At least, close to that sound. What I should do is make it fully supported by Realistic Wildlife Loot, since it's listed as an addon for that mod... I'm getting lazy again though...
