1st Scripts We Should Work On

It's a true shame that the Skyrim team cut that out, in th BETA version that most game testers reported on the Dragons were truly vicious, tactical and almost impossible to kill, they would snatch people from the ground mid-flight more often, they'd herd people into caves/corners and burn them alive all at once...
Oh, I miss those days and I never even knew them. In one article a guy claims he was shooting arrows from a fort-roof, when out of nowhere the dragon picked him up with his jaws and shook him like a rag doll before ripping him in half. That is the sort of wonderous gore-worthy 'moves' that dragons should have, why would a Dragon land and fight on the ground when battling a group of TOTALLY melee soldiers, not even a risk of a lucky arrow piercing a wing membrane

it would be totally epic to make the dragons combat AI like that. I plan on something along those lines.

Linking magic and stamina

I noticed in the book that magic drains the users energy. What that means in game play terms is that magic and stamina are linked. Perhaps they should be a single bar?

We may need to re-balance how much attacks, running, and magic impact the combined bar. But in the mean time, the simplest solution is probably to have the one bar contain double the points (100 stamina + 100 magic = 200 combined points). We should be able to adjust that point value if we need to tighten up the combat and prevent the player from being too powerful.

2.voice to shouts mod has already been made with tuumic shouter so we will need to get permission from psychohampster and the other creators, aspen i understand that being indepth is important but the urgal thing truly doeswn't matter, until at least 80% of the game is made we don't want the game to end up being 8gb+ which will lead to several spilt file which leave a more likely chance for bugs, glitchs, etc,
sorry just a bit of ranting

punkatsub were not making the player say the shouts, by shouts into the ancient language aspen means we'll remove the old magic system and use shouts as regular magic

I am actually starting to look into making a mod similar to that. I had the idea and started to mess around. When I looked to see if anyone had done something similar, thats how I found this project!
My idea is simply this:
(originally I was going to use this with the vanilla version but it works great here, as it was based of the Inheritance Cycle anyway!)

-delete the "magicka" bar completely
-replace stamina with energy or something along those lines
-have the character start out with much more energy(stamina) (i.e. 200 instead of 100)
-magic draws from energy and is balanced according to what is being done, like throwing a dragon vs throwing a catapult vs throwing a rock, varies depending on hugeness of flames,
-also "flight" with magic similar to what Eragon used while rescuing Sloan; would need to be heavily tweaked because this can quickly become game braking (i.e. no more crawling around mountains trying to find a safe path up, just up, up, and away)
-magic cost affected by distance, not sure how that's going to work yet
-once stamina is drained it starts to draw from heath, my thinking is it would draw half as much from health as from stamina but would require tweaking
-the giving the player more stamina would further be explained by them being joined with a dragon because of the elf-like qualities gained in the joining, and the slow transformation thereafter. Also this explains the ability to be able to run much longer and faster than normal humans
-This would also easily allow for the use of jems (such as those in the pommels of riders swords) as energy batteries. This would be balanced and made more useful/practical by having much slower regeneration

That is a badly categorized list and I will redo it later but that is the general idea.

I would like to help in developing this further, also I am very interested in helping with mapping and the like. Extremely excited to see what comes out of this mod!
