Hello there!

Right. I have been making small mods for myself for about 1-2 years now? Never really any serious. Though lately I have gotten serious in my 2d and 3d learning. After countless houres failing at modelling a human hand ( -.-.-.-.-.-) I give up my character, and turned my head towards oblivion. 'ya kno', making some easy stuff. My scripting knowledge is quite decent, anything wihout angles, math formulas and OBSE commands really. So I kinda got this idea, one of a thousand actually, a mod idea - or two. But, instead of just jumping into it and running out of ideas I thought I would need some feedback! And where better to start than here?

First, let me list all my knowledge.

Anything in the CS - Can do it all
Modeling - Basic stuff, meaning: if there is a picture of it, I can make it.
Animation - Can't do anything really =/ keyframe animating is not my style
Nifskope - I know the basic of it and all that
Particles - I can make spell effects. yes, all custom effects, but got no clue how to make a script with it =/
Scripting - I can do mostly all. Without the more advanced stuff.
Free time - got way too much ^^


Right.

I can list what I've got in mind. I hope for feedback on it. Meaning I want to know what extra can be added, what svcks monkey balls. This also means I do not care if this was made by one of the most famous modder ever, and I shouldn't bother. I need 2d/3d practice, and I want to see results. Therefore this is perfect ^^


The Crafter

The idea:

Right, so my first idea of this was having a crafter ( duh!), whom was a wildman, living by himself far away from others. Let's call him Bob for now. He basically crafted anything from what he have. Meaning a huge pile of rock/wood weaponry and leather armor. Then the odd gold/gem weapon/armor piece

I kinda thought the player would become this guys apprentice after a chain of bad stuff happening to him. Where the player will now run around gather hard-to-obtain stuff for this guy and learn how to craft. I kinda want to explore the crafting sense of a game. Meaning mining/woodcutting/etc and then smelt/fletch/build stuff out of it. This would require some custom animation I assume, but meh ... Not too hard I assume.

Now, in the end bob will accept the players idea to travel to a town and build a workshop. And his old workshop is all yours!
yeah, I know, this need a lot of work.. Feeback ftw! ^^

Required:

Basically what I think I will be having to do is set up a chain of quests for the base quest. As well as adding a script here and there. From there I will make a bunch of custom weapon having a stonish/woodish/gemish texture. I believe I will try to make an odd piece of armor, but I dislike making armor in oblivion ... seing as the models are not optimized =/
other than that I will either edit, or make, custom gathering resources where the player can woodcut/mine stuff. Easy enough.
And for the animation I guess I can try to find an existing animation and edit it to fit what I need, then simply add a script which will:
When the player clicks on X, and got Y item, animation Z starts and The player get RANDOM item from the vein.
Could pose a challenge, but doable!

Any feedback on the idea, and perhaps on what work it should require of me? =)


Onward!

Bounty Hunter/Bounty Hunting

The Idea:

Okay, I admit, I got no clue what to make here.. I just know I love bounty hunters o.O All from starwars to metroid.
basically this could either be:

A) a guild or something where the player gets training in hunting. Then getting quests to hunt whatever, All from creatures, to monsters, to creepy things, and then exploring some. As well as capturing people and send 'em to jail.

B) A bounty hunter runs around and faceroll people. The player kills him and get his gear.

C) Dunno .....

If this seem interessting, give me some feedback ^^

Required work:

Bounty hunting armor/weapon of course. Would consist of a piece of armour, a knife, a melee weapon, a ranged weapon. Probably a bow.




The mage

The Idea:

Okay ... since everybody loves custom magic effect, I can always do this. My base idea is making lots and lots of lightningish effects ^^ I love lightning ...
Free hands here. If it says BOOM, It is goodie. Suggestion is always good.




OOOKAY.

To end this long post:

I want to have something to do. I want to work in 2d/3d, but I want to make something. I got really no good idea what to make, so I ask you.
Either work on what I have said, or just give me a suggestion for something ^^

PS: I am tired when writing this. it is 1 AM here and I havn't slept in 30 houres or so =( Excuse bad grammad!

Cheers,

matth80!
