stephennap Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Something along the lines of the No Death Mod, which really changes the way you play. No more automatic loading of the most recent saved game when you screw up. When you drop below 5% of health, you “die” and are transported to Sovngarde or Soul Cairn (maybe just for werewolf or vampire characters?). Once there, you have to find your way out again, avoiding Alduin, and respawning in a random wilderness spot or a temple, without your gold or goods. No need to make it as complex as the No Death Mod, with options or quests to get your goods back. When you die, you are back to square one, but at least you had a fun trip through the afterlife. Could be a fun mod for hardcore players to challenge themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokend Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Would you keep your levels and spells, then? Because if not, there's not really any good reason to not load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephennap Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 You'd keep your levels, spells, and quest items but lose everything else. You could always load the old way, but this would add a pretty cool second act to dying on a quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinobi Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I can see the appeal in this, I'd sometimes rather death have consequences other than having to load your game as well.Hmm... I don't know about losing all of your items though, that'll make one consider simply loading thier file.Also, the 5% HP thing may be a problem, as I've survived multiple encounters with less HP remaining,would hate for the game to automatically kill me. lol I see what you're getting at though.

Gerandirr Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I'm pretty sure no one would want to lose their prized *insert item name here* even if the idea itself is good.What about simply returning to your body after you found the way out ?On the other hand, I'd love to fight my way out of Sonvngard/Soul Carne with nothing but my fists and spells.Ofcourse I'd have everything back as soon as I'm back in my body. It's only to indicate that when you're in that other realm, it's not really you, but your soul. Edited February 14, 2013 by Gerandirr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephennap Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for showing interest! 5% was just a number I pulled out of a hat, 1% could work. Presumably, if you hit zero the normal reload mechanism would takeover. I'm open to getting your items back too, or that could be optional. Going from a dungeon, to Sovngarde, and back, could make for a fun ending to a boss fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokend Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Personally, I still enjoy the idea of decendants (Potentially NSFW) for extra lives, but this is a good alternative (The decendent way would lose you your spells and levels, but give you a chance to get your items back).
