Battlespire

Submitted by 225sam on

After recently replaying the older Elder Scrolls games, I thought maybe this would be redoable seeing as its small hand made unlike TES Daggerfall and TES Arena with the randomly generated terrain. I figure once Skywind is complete it could be a side project? Just let me know, If this could be a possibility. Sorry if im wasting space on the forums.

Unless you're planning on reconstructing it entirely from scratch, it's not really doable.  Completely different engine and such.  There are a billion threads here asking similar things with Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, and Redguard.  The general response is that they aren't doable at all, but that's only true in-as-far as it can't be directly ported into Skyrim like Morrowind and Oblivion can.  Rebuilding an approximation of the original worldspace in the CK, and reconstructing the NPCs, quests, etc. by hand, from scratch in the CK is perfectly doable though, but it would take an eternity to be sure.

Thats what im saying we redo it from scratch, Battlespire is a rather small game, wouldnt take forever...

All depends on if there's anyone around with relevant skills who'd be willing to produce assets for it, then you'd need a way of measuring and mapping the old worldspace to rebuild in Skyrim, and then letting landscapers loose on it, followed by people to remake NPCs, and implement the quests.  I certainly wouldn't mind seeing efforts to do all these things, though with randomly generated stuff like Daggerfall you'd have to basically make a new game without the random map thing, probably making a cross between ESO's High Rock and Hammerfell maps, and any maps of High Rock and Hammerfell in the era of the game's story.

It could be an interesting project, Battlespire & Redguard would be easiest Daggerfall would be insanly difficult. But I strongly think we could remake Battlespire if we get a few people to help. I can make the NPCs and do the majority of the clutter, I would need lots of help. Some of the weapons are already being remade for Skywind and Skyblivion not much would really need to be done for battlespire.

I'd be up for helping making models, however have little to no experience with the creation kit.

It would be an interesting mod project for a huge one-off dungeon. However, while Battlespire's concept was good, it's pretty bare bones in terms of gameplay design when compared to today's standards. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a project like this could improve on the various weak points the game had. For example, adding sci fi/steampunk features, artifacts, some kinds of super spells (replacing shouts) and maybe enhancing the atmosphere to add horror elements.

I can work cluttering and NPC creating. If people are up to helping maybe this could actually get somewhere.

[External image] wouldn't elder scrolls adventures redguard be a better option to try to recreate than battlespire  because it got many elements we also see in skyrim  dwemmer  a dragon  

and if u say use a mod like this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33017/?

creating something that looks like stros M'kai  would be less harder   

what i wanne say start  small and grow from there els it isnt going of the ground

Or, for now, wouldn't it be better to put this energy towards Skywind for now so we can have it sooner?

Other projects can come after Skywind is finished and released. :)

You see, TES Redguard has different game mechanics like you cant play in first person, pre-designed character, different system in general. Battlespire on the other hand, the only thing that would need to be adjusted would be no resting. Plus the majority of the weapons and items are already here for battlespire EX: Daedric Cresent. Anyways if there is a willing group of people we could easily do it in a few months. Also the enemys are already being done for Skywind like the Scamp and Daedroth.
