On an unrelated note, somebody should DEFINITELY make a mod for this armor that eliminates the finger-less glove element. That kind of ruins it for me, I'd prefer it had closed finger gloves.
So, for the whole mage-staff thing, would you be able to sub the animation for putting a great-sword away somehow? Because that stays on your back after you put it away
That is low quality? You should see what my pc could run then.. Laptop if you will.. 1600 x 900 is my screen. I have to run it on 1280 x 800 with some of the lowest settings possible. Wee.. still a sick game
They could use the animation from a character carrying a torch, cause you hold the torch even when not in combat and you could just replace that whit the staff!
i was thinking while playing the game, why didn't bethesda just let people break down items it would make them seem more useful when you dont need them and then a genius comes along in a mod and does it, really need to get this for pc. great idea for the idle staff animation, that would be amazing since warriors do have the swords on back and archers get arrow quiver on their back, plus a wizard would use the staff basically as a walking stick too
@Gopher. Love your videos. You're very well spoken and your info and mod help is fantastic. Just subscribed although I have to say I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.
On the downside, where has the Nightingale prime armour gone :(
I installed everything manually and then on the advice of Gopher decided it would be best to install everything through mod manager. So I deleted my mod file so I could install them through NMM.
Luckily I found the rar file it in the recycle bin from when I installed it previously :)
I knew not deleting everything in the bin was a good idea.
Shame the mod hs gone though. It is very good, shame some people won't get a chance to use it
Nightingale prime is GOOOONE! NOOO. Meh. all there is right now is the Targaryen Nightingale Prime Armor. It has a red three headed dragon emblem and redish gloves that I really don't like. sad face
vanilla oblivion had a cool twirling animation for when you unequiped a staff to your back in third person. it was awesome i hope someone uses it or makes a simular animation for skyrim
the day Gopher gets his wish with the walking with stick out animations, is the day porn mods starts showing up on nexus :)... for better or worse, its the hard truth.
That Idle Staff idea is perfect. I hate it how my staves just disappear when not in use. I've seen more complex ideas done in Oblivion so an experienced modder shouldn't have that much trouble tackling an idea like that.
Great video man i enjoy watching and listening to your videos. I love the fact that your pretty thorough and usually cover questions that would people would have but dont have to ask since you already answered them.
Character as in Batman? Haha, I just don't like the way the set looks with the cape and overall they don't look very good without proper physics or better animations.
@PheroYT That's true. I never really thought about the lack of flow the cape should have. I mean, they had it in Kotor 2, and that was an original Xbox game. I still think it lends to the stealthy element quite nicely, though. But I agree, they should make a physics patch for Skyrim, or somebody should make a mod for better cape animations. It would be fantastic.
dude i cant thank you enough for showing me this mod. I always thought the cloak on the nightingale armor was stupid but now thanks to you not only have i removed it but i also made the armor look much better. By the way check out midas magic mod you will love it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Did you just pronounce "lich" as "lick"? lol, I haven't heard someone make that mistake in a very long time. Of course, when one considers the fact that the Dragon Priests aren't even actually liches, this seems even more amusing.
@DarkenedProgress Yes I did and no it was not a mistake. I pronounce that word 'lik' with a hard 'k' or a germanic 'ch'. And dragon priest are most definately lich. Both in TES lore and by every conceivable defintion of lich.
I love Nightingale prime, both versions of it. its all i ever use on my evil swordsman female character, i agree it can be a a bit lore breaking if u attend u have ur character look the same as the average Skyrim citizen. I prefer to have my char look more unique.
a mod id love to see would be a repopulated dwarven ruins mod
you could have like the mine redone and have acc dwarves and mabey a quest line qhen you have to liberate the mines from banits so the dwarves can move in
@RedNudidity i know but just for a mod it would be good it could be like assassins creed 2 where you spend money to upgrade your villa and you can acc see the upgrades
Merry Christmas and have a nice trip. Another nice video, I'm actually getting pretty tempted to start making texture mods, but we'll see. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll make a texture mod that you'll like enough to put in one of your videos. If you're interested in any texture mod you'd like to see, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
@hurrdurrmurrgurr No, Khajiits get a damage bonus to their claws and a toggle-able Night Eye power, which costs no Magicka and can be used whenever you want.
@hurrdurrmurrgurr They are both Khajiits's abilities. Claws allow to do 3x unarmed damage and Night Eye allows to see at night. In fact, night eye is the ability this mod is using to work. ;)
I want a mod that lets you pay people to enchant things for you. I end up with loads of money just sitting there and I can't really be bothered to level up Enchanting. You can't do this in the game atm can you?
Here's my mod wish. Could it be set up so that improving enchanted armor/weapons actually improved the enchantment also- ie; Shrouded Cowl + 20% bow, when improved = + 25%
Interesting. Yesterday I instaled Nightingale Prime mod and voila. Must be becoming seer. :P
Anyway, great video as allways. There is one thing about that mod thou, it comes in tree varionts of cape: default, capeless and torn cape. Check the description from the mod author...
Torn cape is my favorite. Enjoy your holydays m8. :D
I completely agree with your mod wishlist. One of the reasons my mage didn't bother with using staves was the fact that it didn't appear on your character when you were idle. The staff vanishing just broke immersion for me, so I never bothered using it.
the night eye is in the game but it's a power now, for khajiit and vampires, and i think they scraped it since they changed how you get experience. since now just casting a spell at nothing will not give you exp they probably had no way to make an effective way of using it.
I tried Nightingale Prime armor, but I didn't like either version. I recommend trying "Nightingale Hi-res Retex with Torn Scarf and Variants by AlphaDragoon and InfiniDragon" It doesn't go overboard with the retexturing, just makes the default look a lot better. I can't post the link in a comment but just put in 3765 for the ID number at the end of the links in the description.
I don't like the way people walk around with their weapon out. They look so ready for battle, and I think that animation should only appear when there's enemies around. When you just have your weapon out, like in a town for instance, you should carry it like a normal person.
@LakituHell I completely agree. Although for my character it almost worked as I am going for that puppet master type villain. And the theatrics are a big part of the appeal :)
