Rather than clutter up the forum with more and more WIP threads, I've decided to merge all of them into one under the Tamriellc Craftworks name. I've kept the old OPs for those who wish to read, though both are under spoiler tags to prevent them from cluttering up the thread). Tamriellic Craftworks is an expansion on the idea behind my Tamriellic Glassworks mod for Oblivion; It is intended as an aesthetic overhaul of Skyrim, based on the concepts of region, culture and materials. For the moment this mod will focus on weapons, clutter and banners, but may eventually be expanded to cover other elements such as armour and architecture (we'll have to see how far those get, as my free time is hardly infinite) This project takes its art and aesthetic direction from a variety of sources including Credo by ActusReus, The Witcher series produced by CDProjektRed, medieval art, and of course the length and breadth of The Elder Scrolls series by Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax. This means that I have a rich tapestry to draw upon, though my primary focus is on believable art that first in a medieval world with elements of later points in history (a more Victorian look to mass-produced glassware for example). The first planned release for the mod will include the following: Replacement of all drink bottles found in-game. Whiterun-Style hunting knife (total of 144 blades based on the same shape, varying by material, colour and quality). Hunterborn Compatibility Patch. Whiterun-Style Arrows (Broadhead, Armour-Piercing, Serrated, Hunting) and quivers (16 variations by material, colour and quality) New crafting items for producing the new TCW items. New books detailing the new TCW items (also required in player inventory for crafting).

Hello everyone. I go by the name Oriius. I've been a modder for many years and released a number of projects including "Tamriellic Glassworks" and "Ranger's Shroud Armour" for Oblivion, as well as surprisingly successful "The Elder Scrolls V Rewritten: Arvak" for Skyrim (still an ongoing project). I also have a number of project that I consistantly rotate through depending on what ideas I feel like exploring at any given time; most of these have been hampered by issues with getting Blender to play nicely with Skyrim's NIF format. Thanks to InsanitySorrow helping me work out the last kinks in the export process, I can finally move forward, so I've decided to press on with something I conceptualized a few months ago: Like a lot of people I was hyped for the release of Eidos Montreal's reboot of the Thief franchise. I'l admit that my experience with actually playing the earlier game consisted of five minutes in Deadly Shadows before my computer threw a temper-tantrum, but always loved the concept and one of my favourite mods from Oblivion was a mod based on the same sort of concept (Thieves Arsenal by Scruggs). I looked at all of this and thought "why couldn't it be done in Skyrim?". After all, we were already part-way there with Dawnguard's exploding Bolts. So I took it upon myself to expand the archer's arsenal with some craft-able goodies for the player to make use of. Skyrim's current crafting system is something of a joke (I suspect I will never fully understand Bethesda's infatuation with scrolling menus), and the fact that the player couldn't craft projectiles when the original game launched proved to be an irritation to a number of players (particularly as certain arrow types are scarce while materials can often be plentiful). The goal of this project is a ground-up reinterpretation of Skyrim's fletching system (or lack thereof) featuring modular arrow construction with a wide variety of materials and features. Planned Features: Core Module: Fletching kit to act as a mobile crafting station to assemble arrows. Knife to act as a mobile crafting station for arrow shafts. Ability to craft arrow components at pre-existing crafting stations (forge and tanning rack). Wide variety of arrowheads with different functions including distraction, armor penetration, bleeding, poisoning, knockout, poison delivery and explosive delivery. Ability to craft arrowheads in all styles in all materials available in game. Ability to make alchemical compounds for syringe and exploding arrows (poisons and silver extract for the former, fire, frost, shock poison and knockout gas for the latter) Customization of arrows based on ability (different flights to determine arrow performance, ability to find arrows in the dark, etc) Dawnguard Module: Alteration to suntouched/bloodcursed arrow scripts to allow blessing and bleeding of arrowheads rather than full elven arrows). New materials added for each faction ("sunsteel" for Dawnguard, "grimsteel" for vampires made from smelted Death Hound collars). New quests for Dawnguard faction (rediscovery of alchemical formulas for "sunsteel' material and "sunburst" exploding arrow compound) New alchemical compounds for exploding arrows ("sunburst" for Dawnguard, "bloodmark" for Volkihar, both acting as weaker variants for their enchanted cousins) New archivist NPC to implement quest for alchemical formulas (may be tied into another module from a related project) Bolt creation using fletching station. Less variety of boltheads than arrowheads due to differences in how the crossbow deals damage. Dragonborn Module: New material types added for player to use (Heartstone and Stalhrim) New alchemical compounds for exploding arrows (Petrification, Corrosion) Possible expansion beyond original project: Custom interface for arrow creation (not sure if possible; further research is required). Regional styles for certain arrows (I wrote a long essay of the subject of regionality in Skyrim on the now-defunct Skyrim Real Estate forums. Suffice to say that it is my belief that Skyrim needs more regionality in its crafting. Only arrows likely to be covered by this are Broadhead, Armour-Piercing and Barbed, along with regional quivers in multiple materials. This would require separating the quiver from the arrows along with scripting to only allow the player to equip arrows when the have a quiver). At present I'm at the asset creation stage; I've completed the mesh for the exploding arrow and the steel texture is nearly completed with only a few touchups left to be done. Other materials will not be far behind. For the moment I am focusing on the core module. Only when it is either completed or near completion will I move forward on the other two.

Will feature the use of bones from various animals including trolls and dragons to create arrowheads and arrow components. Core Module Phase 3 (Oblivion): Currently still in the planning phase. Current plans include dealing with Daedra of various levels in order to gain access to materials, equipment and information on crafting different Daedric arrows. Core Module Phase 4 (Cultures): Currently still in the planning phase. Will feature arrows from various regions and cultures across Tarmiel, including the Holds of Skyrim, the Great Houses of Morrowind, the Akaviri and more. Planned as an incremental release (each culture gets a separate release rolled into the core module). Expansion Phase 1 (Dawnguard): Currently still in the planning phase. Current plans include bolts based on the exploding arrows, new materials for both the Dawnguard and the Volkihar, as well as new cultural designs for the Snow Elves. Expansion Phase 2 (Dragonborn): Currently still in the planning phase. Current plans include new materials, new compounds for exploding arrows, as well as new cultural designs for the Skaal.
