In it's current state this mod adds a Hunting Guild to Skyrim. The player can complete quests and challenges, rising through the ranks and gaining renown for completing tasks. The initial Guild hub is based in the basemant of the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun. Once the main Guild Hall is complete outside, the initial hub will become a Guild outpost.

I have also introduced new perks to the game, centered around hunting. They give bonuses to both damage and protection against animals, and at later levels, all creatures including Dragons.

The mod currently includes (as of version 1.3) 10 main quests, 7 side quests (6 of which are repeatable radiant quests), a new skinning and pelt crafting system, trophy crafting, guild upgrades, and many more features. The player is also given a Log Book which keeps track of all the animals you kill, skin, contracts completed, and abilities unlocked. Two new skills have been added to the game (separate from the normal skills menu) and are tracked in the Log Book. Your Hunting Skill increases as you hunt animals, and you also gain Huntsman Feats that go towards your overall Hunting Skill for obtaining notable achievements such as sneak kills on animals and killing hard animals with daggers. Your Skinning Skill is determined by how many carcasses you've skinned and improved, and governs how well you can improve your pelts. Skinning Skill also has a small influence on your Hunting Skill.

The base value of hunting "loot" has been increased so that it's a much more viable source of income. I have tried to keep it balanced and the values not too high.

• Fixed dialogue for upgrading the Whiterun shop to only accept Gold once, by removing the upgrade note.
• Not a bug, but I've removed the message that says "SKSE features are enabled".

So, I'm going to look at an animal trapping system, and have a general idea of how I want to make it. Now I just need to get an idea as to what the best way you guys feel I should do this. I have two methods in mind.

1. You use the trap, bait it etc, and so many hours later you'll find a dead animal on it. There will of course be the chance of no animal. The animal will simply be placed to appear like the trap baited and trapped/killed it.
2. You use the trap, bait it etc, and I run a script to find the nearest animal within a certain range, and then make the animal come. This has the advantage of being more realistic, in that you would see the animal come to the trap. This has it's downsides though. PathToReference(), basically "Yo NPC, go to this spot now!", can be buggy. And although the script can find an actor, they won't always come when told to.

What do you guys think?

[Lauren Graves]

I say go for option 1 mate. In real life, you'd set your traps and leave the area, then return some time later to check them. So it won't be too unrealistic to force this behaviour on the player.

Option 2 can be made to work reliably through the use of aliases and travel packages (if you go into the guts of the bait arrows, this is how they are set up), but then you'd have to force a limit on how many traps can be in use at one time

So both options will have to force the player in some way or another, but option 1's seems to be the lesser of two evils

Exactly my thoughts mate, its like one mind! Lol.

Setting it up as a quest would make it flawless, but like you said, you'd limit the number of traps.

[Brentleah Jeffs]

I'm with you on the trapping, option 1: Also because I think it's realistic that the nearest animal could ignore the trap, and a different one could come by later.

BTW glad to see your plans for the Woodman's Shack!

[luis dejesus]

I agree, option 1. At first option 2 sounded better and more fun, but I realize now that option 1 is more realistic.

Perhaps the best thing though would be to combine both options? Get the best of both worlds? Although perhaps it can be too complex / not possible to make.
For instance: you set the trap, and when setting the trap with some form of bait on it (so it attracts animals), there is a chance (so it doesn't always trigger it) that nearby animals will go to it. Say like a 50 % chance. If the animal doesn't come, the player can wait, thus triggering option 1, so the next time you go to the trap, a dead animal might be there.

This combination would make trapping have more variety. Same thing doesn't always happen. Sometimes you don't have to wait, sometimes you have to wait.

Still, in general, trapping will be a great addition. Glad you're adding it, no matter option it will be.
