Lambar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi, I like to play with music off but find I'm nearly always surprised when attacked by anything (especially wild animals). There was a mod for Oblivion that played a heartbeat sfx when a danger was near that provided enough warning to look around and get ready for combat. i.e when the combat music kicks in (but is silent there needs to be an sfx instead but played via the sfx 'channel', not through music 'channel'. Therefore would some genius come up with something for me? A heartneat seems the most logical but it would be nice to have a choice. example sfx that player could choose from:1. Hearbeat. Possibly getting faster and louder as the danger gets closer.2. Startled birds. Some birds will cry out to warn others of their species (a british blackbird has a great one).3. Your char saying something like "Oh, oh", "What's that?, "Did you hear that?" etc.".4. If technically possible, a sfx that relates to the danger in question, e.g. wolf howls/snarls, human grunts or breather, snapping twigs, leaves/snow/gravel crunching, water splashing if from a water source. Preferably the sfx would gett gradually louder the closer the player is too the danger. When the player moves away the volume should drop accordingly. I'd be more than happy to work with someone on this. I'm an ex-game designer so know what I'm talking about but am not technical. regards, Lambar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteWarrior Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 No Combat Music might help a bit. It doesn't replace the music with anything else, but may tide you over until such a mod is available. There's actually plenty of warning of an imminent attack in vanilla. Wolves howl; frost trolls grunt; bandits talk to each other (or themselves); random NPCs actually announce themselves (like the idiots they are); etc. And, of course, you can see one of those inept assassins from the Dark Brotherhood coming from a mile away. Haven't tried the mod yet, so I don't know how effective it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmagico Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I don't think this is relevant to your request but what I would like in a combat mode is to see bandits (enemies) not just fight the first npc they see. For example when I'm with my follower (Lydia) she jumps into fights instantly and the bandits focus on fighting her only even though I want to pick a fight with some of them (take my share of the fight) no bandit wants to fight me unless Lydia is to her last tiny bit of health and is down then all of them come rushing to fight me. Is there a mod that fixes this? I'm new to this forum stuff. Love for a mod to fix this issue in the Skyrim combat system no spell checker?
