Skills?

Submitted by MhtmGhnd on

Hi awesome Skywind team,

I am curious as to which skills are planned to make it into the game. I am under the impression that having only 18 skills is hard coded into the game, but that some skills may be merged / removed etc to make room for some of the missing Morrowind skills.  I'm particularly interested in if anyone got spears to work.

Also I wonder if any of the following newer things that weren't in the original Morrowind are intended to be part of Skywind... Children, Followers, Horses (or other ridable creatures)?

I do understand that nothing can be promised, I'm just curious as to the current intentions are.

or other ridable creatures

I didn't know that I wanted guar mounts until now.

Anyone from the team able to provide some insight?

Guar mounts could probably be added with mods later if need be. Still, it's a pretty neat idea - Vvardenfell is pretty big and it'd provide a good way to travel quickly from any of the silt strider locations if fast travel is disabled.

If I remember correctly, JackGa on the Steam Workshop has a mount that looks a good bit like a Guar (it runs on two legs I think).

Spears have a solution which is better than the FNIS one which currently exists, the focus has been on custom creature animations right now though that don't use the quick replacer techniques.

Skills are still limited to 18 but we have gone through and selected the ones we would like to have and how we'd like to merge them. I don't think we want to announce it yet as some things, like "unarmed" are difficult from a technical point to implement, so it is subject to change as the assigned modder gets deeper into the trees.

Thanks for the info guys. That Jackga mod certainly looks like it could be used for guar mounts. Glad to hear about the spears having a solution. Shame you can't elaborate on the other skills but I understand why. Personally I never mourned the loss of unarmed so I won't be too upset if it doesn't work. Then again I have no issues with this working either as I can just focus on other skills anyway (though hopefully its return doesn't lead to the loss of something else instead) On an unrelated note I wanted to point out that two of the questions on the faq for Skywind are actually covering the same topic (11 and 13) Also 11 doesn't have the question bolded like the rest of the faq. Someone with the ability to edit this may want to have a look.
