----------------------------------------------------

Hunting in Skyrim is a roleplaying mod that introduces a hunting class system to the game. Adds better hunting prices, new perks, and more.

This mod is still a work in progress, and hopefully will be expanded to include quests, a guild, and who knows what else!

What this mod does.
I wanted to make hunting a playstyle in Skyrim. There are hunters in the game already, and the functions of hunting and pelt/hide taking are there, but there's no reason gameplay wise to do these things, other than raise your skills. That's where this mod comes in.

I have introduced new perks to the game, centered around hunting. They give bonuses to both damage and protection against animals, and at later levels, all creatures including Dragons.

I have also adjusted the base value of hunting "loot" so that it's a much more viable source of income. I have tried to keep it balanced and the values not too high. I have also made Werewolf Pelts the most expensive because lets be honest, Werewolves are much more rare than Snow Bears.


The new perks are as follows:

- Archery skill tree -


Required Rank - Perk - Effect

30 - Animal Damage 1 - Bows do 20% more damage to animals
40 - Animal Damage 2 - Bows do 30% more damage to animals and creatures
60 - Animal Damage 3 - Bows do 50% more damage to animals and creatures
70 - Animal Damage 4 - Bows do 50% more damage to the undead
90 - Animal Damage 5 - Bows do twice as much damage to Dragons

80 - Vampire Hunter - Bows do 80% more damage to Vampires

- Light Armour skill tree -

Required Rank - Perk - Effect

40 - Hunter's Agility 1 - Damage taken from animals reduced by 20%
50 - Hunter's Agility 2 - Damage taken from animals reduced by 30%
60 - Hunter's Agility 3 - Damage taken from animals and creatures reduced by 40%

The new prices are as follows:

- Pelts -

Item - Old Value - New Value

Werewolf Pelt - 20 - 200
Snow Bear Pelt - 75 - 150
Cave Bear Pelt - 60 - 120
Bear Pelt - 50 - 100
Snow Sabre Cat Pelt - 40 - 80
Sabre Cat Pelt - 25 - 50
Ice Wolf Pelt - 15 - 30
Wolf Pelt - 10 - 20
Deer Pelt - 10 - 20
Snow Fox Pelt - 7 - 14
Fox Pelt - 5 - 10

- Hides -

Item - Old Value - New Value

Horse Hire - 15 - 30
Cow Hide - 10 - 20
Deer Hide - 10 - 20
Goat Hide - 5 - 10

Version History

V 1.0 - Initial Release.

================================

----------------------------------------------------


Lovely ladies and awesome dudes, this thread is to announce that I'm continuing the spirit of my player home mods in the form of a kind of "overhaul" mod. I actually hate that word now, it's so overused in Skyrim modding it's beyond a joke. So that will be the last time I say it :smile:

In the spirit of my Woodsman's Shack, Hunting in Skyrim will bring class based hunting to Skyrim, as I think it ought to have been in the first place.


Current plans for initial release are:

1. Introduction and expansion of specific Hunting perks, tied to current skill trees (Marksman already has one). Most likely Marksman, One-Handed, and possibly Sneak or Light Armour.
2. Adding into the world enchanted weapons and armour for hunters (not new items, just new effects... one step at a time)
3. Increase of the base value of Hunting bits and bobs (pelts, skins etc) to make Hunting a viable source of income. Although mods are already available for that specifically, I want my own version, in my mod.

Current plans for future additions to the mod:

1. Quests and Tasks built around hunting animal types (still working on ideas and layout/conclusion).
2. Possibly include weapons and armour mods from authors that would suite my mod. With permission ofcourse :smile:
3. The creation of a Hunting Guild.


It may be a little early days to launch a WIPz thread, but I'm working on it now so thought I'd post away. Feel free to comment/suggest things. I like having feedback and constructive crits :smile:

Looking to release v1.0 later today. Includes new prices (not silly value increase) for pelts and hides, 3 new perks, 2 of which have ranks.

Maybe another feature or two. Will see how it goes.

Good work! It's a good idea - hunting has always appealed to me, but the lack of rewarding for hunting put me off. I tried once, but everything felt a little pointless. I really like the hunting guild idea.

Not much I can do to help, but if you think of anything that doesn't require CK scripting, I'll help?
