LE Battle Tactics Mod

[rogerpenna]

I like followers. Although many people enjoy a solitary Elder Scrolls Experience, I always liked to have followers, and many others also do, considering mods like UFO, and Vilja, and Interesting Followers, etc.

 

Unfortunatelly, you can hardly use followers for more tactical combats. In the end, even the most intelligent of them are hardly capable of any combat tactics. They can be made to avoid physical traps. Or to only attack when you start attacking or are attacked.

 

But can you tell a follower to enter the backside of house, so that while you fight with a powerful NPC, your sneaky thief follower stabs him in the back? Or make your mage follower use a spell of fire vulnerability so you can use your fire sword on the enemy?

 

 

My idea... a pause based combat system, much like that of Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights, of Dragon Age and even Mass Effect.

 

 

The idea... you press a key and time pauses. When time pauses, camera goes 3rd person, and you can cycle between you and your followers. You can set a waypoint to a follower to move to, tell the follower to attack someone, or use a spell, as well as select the follower weapon and spell.

 

Is that possible? 1 year ago so much was not possible at Skyrim modding as its today.

 

 

Of course, being able to use such tactics at Skyrim would make the game quite easy compared to Vanilla, so mods that make the game more difficult and realistic would have to be installed.
