Avalanches and other disasters

Post » Fri Jan 21, 2011 2:38 am

In skyrim i think we should have like avalanches and things like that if you going up a Particulary steep mountain, so that the environment could pose a danger to you too. And when I say other disasters I mean like tornadoes and hurricanes and stuff like that. I personally wouldn't want tornadoes and hurricanes as I feel it could happen alot. But tell what u guys think about disasters and whether or not u want them implemented

There could be a couple of scripted moments where rocks come tumbling down a mountain, like those in the Kvatch Oblivion plane. But then snowy. :P

Would be nice.

Or, if some handplaced rock/snow meshes are made destructible as in you can interfer with them. There could be avalanches and such whenever a certain force is done on it.

It would be nice, but from the way the snow is implemented right now, I don't know if it'd be possible. I'm not allowed to link it, I don't think, but snow mechanics have been described in depth. The engine detects objects like trees and buildings, and allows so much snow to build up on it depending on what it is. That isn't conducive to avalanches, and at least regarding Oblivion's CS, I can't think of how an avalanche would be implemented. . .

Edit: I read that one of the dungeons had a very "Tomb of the Lost Ark" feel to it. If there's an Indiana Jones-esque giant rolling boulder mechanic already in place, than that could ostensibly be re-meshed and textured and made into an avalanche. It seems a bit of a long shot, though.
