» Mon May 17, 2010 3:12 am One thing I really liked about snow business is how it uses equipment to ward of the effects. The worst thing Vvardenfell has to offer is the ash and blight storms. The current mods that deals with this weather simply adds penalties but does not offer any way to tackle the effects and because of this they need to be kept at a manageable magnitude unless they would cripple the player.
How about a mod which will give you increasing penalties from the ash or blight storms. Ashstorms could have an increasing magnitude of blind and drain endurance. Blight storms could also an increasing weakness to blightdisease which would also partially address the fact that blight storms doesn't give you any diseases by at least making the chance of getting one greater. There could be a random chance (altered by the players resist blight of course) that you get one of the blight diseases by walking without protection in the blight storm. These aspects should of course be disabled to remain lore correct minding the main quest. The possibility to become unable to continue until the storm has passed, either because you are blinded by the ash or having trouble breathing in the swirling ash.
By equipping the right kind helm you won't get any penalties or possibly minor ones to simulate the difficulty to operate effectively in the heavy wind. I'm especially thinking about the chitin helmet and boiled netch helm. Maybe all the closed helmets would suffice as protection?
Would this be an interesting addition to the survival mods or just an annoying feature?
Anyone interested in making this? Where to start out? Which scripts from other mods would serve well for this, and if the creator of those scripts are reading this, do I or any other have the permission to use those scripts (crediting the creator of course) to make this mod?
Feel free to give suggestions =)
