haha, good one Vyper!

haha, I don't want to make the player start a new character to play the mod! even if it would be more true to the movie, it would be too limiting. Only a handful of players play redguards. :/ A twist that we COULD put on it is that the player character is one of the other 12 warriors instead being the 13th and the 13th could very well be a foreigner. Being a thane of whatever hold you start out in could then be a reasonable requirement for the quest since it's fairly easy to become one. Basically I just want to follow the main plot points and the general story of the movie rather than totally copying it, i.e. using all the same names for characters and places. It's really a shame the movie was such a financial disaster! I actually hadn't realized that before reading the article.

what update are you talking about exactly? Can you be more descriptive of the problem? I haven't personally tried to download and install the latest version of this because I no longer have OB installed on my laptop so I don't think I can be of much help. You can try PMing Phitt on the official boards about it. There is probably also still a release thread somewhere there too.

I'm a big fan of norse mysthology, who isn't? And recreating some of those stories, not to the letter, but roughly following the same plot points would be so awesome. Also a movie that I think could be really well adapted to fit into Skyrim is the 13th Warrior: wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13th_Warrior trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1d8E9GglvA&feature=related And the great thing about doing this would be that very few assets would have to be made from scratch (although some would be nice to add more quality to the mod). It would just require someone knowledgeable about building quests and a few willing voice actors. This is definitely a project I'd like to undertake once the CK comes out since it will be less difficult that the Dark Spire and good practice. Probably the 13th Warrior will be my story of choice since the Beowulf one was already done in Blood Moon and is less well know and almost as awesome. So what do you guys think? Is something that you would like to see?

My cousin took these when I was juggling fire a while back and yes, those are goggles that I'm wearing in the last pic... they do nothing

edit: glitchy eyes strike back! I played with the mod active for a longer period of time - putting my character through more situations and apparently although this fix does address at least one way to get the bug, there must be other ways as well, I suspect it has something to do with the killcam cut scenes, but I'm not sure. edit 2: after doing some more research... it's caused by any sort of invisibility effect. Hopefully the next patch will address this issue or at least a better solution will be possible once the CK comes out... I'm pretty boggled by how many bugs Skyrim actually has.

It appears the glitchy eye bug was related to the shadow warrior perk or at least sneak attacks in some way. Fix is here http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5321 It worked for me!

Ever since I was told I resembled the 10th doctor, David Tenant, I've become obsessed with obtaining a sonic screwdriver, but not just any old plastic toy. I'd like for this one to actually do something useful and feel and sound authentic. So far I haven't seen anything to this effect. I'm probably going to have to custom make it or have it custom made. Any assistance with this quest would be appreciated

Wow, I guess I'm even more behind than I thought. I haven't really been involved at all in the modding or even gaming world for more than a year. I was just happy to see that something became of it.

There are some spoilers here, so beware Critterman and I were working on a Thu'um mod for Oblivion called Children of the Sky but it was never released. It appears we were ahead of the curve though link to the old WIPz thread here: Overall I'm very pleased with how they implemented the Thu'um in Skyrim, but there are a couple of things I would like to improve/add... For reference: The book "Children of the Sky" the book, "The Way of the Voice" My ideas: You are unable to swallow your opponent's Thu'um. I'd love to grant the player the ability to "swallow" a dragon's or a draugr's shout and use it to recharge their own shouts maybe with a keypress such as X. Your chance at successfully swallowing their shout would be dependent on several factors such as your own mastery of the particular shout you are trying to swallow and your difference in level. Although there is a Fear shout there isn't a Courage shout that I'm aware of. No implementation of the tongue lore. I'd like dragon tongues and even draugr tongues to be a lootable item that can buff your shout power in some way when used properly such as strung into a charm necklace or even consumed. The damage of the fire and frost Thu'ums are static and mostly useless at higher levels and on higher difficulty. I'd love it if there was a way to increase the damage in a balanced way so that they remain a viable weapon... maybe by investing additional dragon souls or using the tongues. The only shouts I ever use with my level 80 character on master difficulty are the slow time, whirlwind sprint, unrelenting force, aura whisper, elemental fury, and become ethereal. The rest aren't really useful. Even the call dragon shout doesn't help!! on master difficulty the dragon seems to do very little damage at all and never does instant kills :/ You also can't ride him anymore and he doesn't talk to you! I would like the more powerful dragons such as the ancient dragon to be more skilled with the voice, i.e. be able to use some of the other shouts like the slow time shout, or the unrelenting force shout, or the disarm shout. As it is they are fairly easy to kill even on master difficulty. I'd like them to also have a chance of swallowing your shouts and turning them against you so that maybe dragonrend isn't 100% successful every time (ignoring bugs >.> ) and that you can't always render the dragons immobile with the slow time shout. The ability to open locked chests and doors with the unrelenting force shout up to a max of an adept lock... maybe somehow we could actually blast the door off it's hinges, or animate the chest so it opens in a rough manner. The ability to use extra dragon souls for SOMETHING. I've unlocked all the shouts and I'd like to put those 30 some souls to good use. A few ideas: able to put the souls toward level XP so you can go beyond the level 81 cap , able to further improve even fully unlocked shouts, extract the souls from your body for use in recharging weapons or enchanting. That could be done through a separate shout the player can learn that transfers a dragon soul into a soul gem or a weapon or armor. All of these changes could be more fully appreciated and utilized if there were a quest involved. For example, maybe create a rebel faction of greybeard type people who view the Thu'um as a means to attain power like the dragons. This would give the player the opportunity to face others of their kind on more or less equal footing. The book Way of the Voice (which btw doesn't appear in Skyrim) mentioned a school for the voice starting up in Markarth but there wasn't one in the game. This could be a part of the above quest idea and they could be at conflict with the greybeards. The ability to swallow your opponent's Thu'um should be learned through a quest I believe as that would be much more fun. The addition of certain "Songs of Power". Rather than shouting, your character will actually sing. I imagine it sounding like some of the in-game Nordic choirs. The effects of these songs might be sustained fire or frost breath, telekinesis like effects which can even be used on NPCs, levitation, increased running speed, etc... this seems like it might be one of the more difficult things to implement but it could be really neat if done properly. The inspiration for this idea is from the Terry Brooks novel "The Wishsong of Shannara" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wishsong_of_Shannara The question would be how to keep it balanced and how to integrate it into the existing shout system. what are your thoughts?

Just wanted to get this out there: Download at TES nexus: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37329 Was released in September February, so I'm a little very behind the times, but this was the first time that I had seen anything. Very pleased to see that an Alpha was released. Even more pleased to see that 1000 + people have gotten to see our hard work. Thank you InsanitySorrow and Lady N as well as to the rest of the Sheo team for all that you've done. Disclaimer: please don't message me for support or bug reports or anything... this is just a link and a thank you.

This is an awesome idea and something that should have come with the game out of the box. Clearly you've already put a lot of thought into this and I don't have much to add other than that I would like to see more powerful goods available for purchase at all levels, for example an ebony sword that absorbs 30 points of health, stamina, and magicka that I actually have to save up for. Something I've liked about other RPGs I've played, specifically Dungeon Siege and even Fate is that it's always worth checking out the merchants to see what they are selling because there's a chance they might have something actually useful for your character at even at high levels. In Skyrim my character is almost level 81 and there's no reason for me to check to see what the merchants are selling because I know it won't be anything better than what I already have (except radiant raiment in solitude as they do carry powerful bling) so best of luck with this, here's to the CK coming soon

Here's the UESP wiki list of Dunmer names in Morrowind: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Category:Morrowind-Dunmer

Great characters everyone! I especially like Dollparts' and Carah's characters. Great job on the faces. Hatsune Miku Stats Class - Dark Paladin Level - 80 (one more level to go!!!) Relevant Perks trees - one handed, heavy armor, restoration, sneak, archery, smithing Max damage - 3000+ sneak attack, 500+ dual wield (more with potions) armor rating - normally around 500 because she doesn't like any helmets and prefers ebony, but with a full suit of legendary daedric armor it's over 1000 casting guardian circle Equipment Ebony Mail, ebony Gauntlets of eminent wielding, ebony boots of muffling, various amulets and rings for different situations dual legendary daedric swords enchanted with absorb health and stamina, and a daedric dagger for sneak attacks, nightingale bow and ebony arrows Backstory Miku (named in honor of everyone's favorite blue haired vocaloid) started off as a righteous paladin, saving the world and honoring the warrior's code. However, she became bored and decided to pursue other avenues of adventure through the thieves guild and the dark brotherhood. Enthralled by power she climbed to the top of these organizations and was bestowed all their dark powers as well.
