Hello all

and greeting almighty modders :bowdown:

I was thinking, since we are like 3 months away from being united with our love, why not speculate on some modding possibilities

Bethesda were pretty cool to provide us with crafting skills which is great

BUT why stop at:

1- smithing
2- wood cutting/crafting (what ever it is)
3- farming
4- alchemy
5- cooking
6- enchanting

why not add more

like:

7- leather working and skinning
8- tailoring
9- Jewel crafting

wouldn't be cool to have all this and add thousands of recipes for them

then we will have thousands of robes, cloths, capes/cloaks (I hope), armors, weapons, jewels, foods, potions...etc

just imagine endless possibilities ENDLESS

so any modders planing on making such things

I'd love to add interesting stuff to the game if it calls for it. We'll have to see when it comes out.

Nevertheless,

- I'd completely re-vamp the arena quest if there is one...make it more medievalesque/romanesque.
- add more armor and weapons designs
- create a way to decorate your house further like with armor stands, tapestries, mounts, carpeting, etc, etc
- make non-mountable creatures...mountable

Hard to plan for modding when we don't even know how the game will work.

... let alone know what needs to be modded.

1: graphical overhaul (game needs it 2006 was 5 years ago)

2: gold will most likely be to easy to get

3: enemies will most likely be to easy to kill (another OOO)

4: leveling will most likely be way to fast

5: cities will be closed due to console limitations

6: hopefully they can increase armor slots

7: can forgot about all of those and.....nehrim sequel aka a mod better than the game that was modded for the mod.

indeed we must see the game first but I thought that

since crafting is already in modding more of it will be easy

Smithing will probably include leatherworking, tailoring, etc..

@ Vadagar - you have some excellent ideas and absolutely, I hope we will see a more complex crafting system improved upon by mods.

Are there any crafting mods for New Vegas? That might give some idea what is possible.





I agree with everything on your list except how do you know it will need a graphics overhaul if we haven't seen the PC version yet. Maybe Bethesda will release a 4k x 4k official texture pack, for example.

Have you been playing Warcraft or somthing

yah Booty I think FO NV has a lot of extra crafting mods as well as FO3

a really cool one comes to mind is the one where you can customize your weapons for more personalization like extra clip space (more bullets in load) silencer, scopes, modified handles for more handling...etc, and I think you could not get all those on a single weapon (for balance)

also fixing items with scraqe metal

new types of explosives, foods, bullets

great great mods indeed

that's why I'm really excited about Skyrim modding potential

and yes played wow for 3 months and now I'm bored of it though the crafting system in wow in great but in wow u pretty much used crafting skills to get money and to get the last 10 recipes that really mattered, I want skyrim to have a more engaging system where many things should remain useful even for a high level character (like arrows)

Would need to play the game first but I would make an awesome house filled with activators like some that have been made for Oblivion but I imagine you can do much more with activators on this game. Spawners,Traps, Hidden Doors Just the works

Leather working already confirmed, by the man himself::


Anything they do, you can do.

:o

like shadowcrest manor

most epic house mod of all time

Depending on how the system is implemented I might use the crafting system for part of my Necromancy mod.

I could see having to find body parts, black soul gems, bones, etc to craft an undead construct. I will have to wait and see how it all ties together, as their maybe an easier route. However, since spell-making seems to be out. Maybe I can use the crafting system as a replacement workaround. Find exotic components and put them together and you get a new spell effect, etc.

Exactly the one I was thinking of or maybe a huge one like Ancient Towers

yes YES

also Midas made spells without spell making in OB you just needed ingredients

Thanks for mentioning this, guys - I had never heard of it before, but I just looked it up and downloaded this mod.

Spears? Dual Shielding?

That's great to hear, I'm working on something similar - maybe we can share some of the work on this.
