Advanced combat mod. Options

[Andyp]

Somone else has probably come up with an idea similar to this but i checked the search and nothing like what i was thinking of seemed to come up.

Anyhow im new here and i was playing oblivion the other day with my lvl 54 assasin dude and i realised that despite the looks and the better moves that you unlock later on, the combat was actually rather shallow.

Now my idea was to make combat context based and more hit location based, also i would love to work on the hand to hand making it a bit more like an assassins should be, i mean im pretty sure that the assassins train in martial combat so imo you should be able to just that, because atm the oblivion character punches like a thug who has just stumbled out of a pub.

Also when i said hit located and context based i meant that say a guard was running at you and was about to strike, well you would click the attack button as normal, but say you aimed at his leg? well that would deliver say a kick or punch that would disable him or knock him to the floor, this way combat would be even more physical than it is now and increadable fun.

On the other hand i must admit that it is very elaborate and probably would require a lot of complex coding shame i have no idea where to start, anyhow tell me what you think of my idea.
Thanx

Hmmm, I'm trying to understand what ThePerson98 is suggesting.

About the combat style = that is hardcoded into the game and people went through all kinds of stuff with this in Morrowind and their fighting style, which I know is different. But the thing is that actions are pretty much hardcoded into games.

Now there was a group of excellent modders who got together for Morrowind and made a mod called The Glory Road. They actually coded in new game actions for MW = lying down, sitting, some different fighting and dancing differently than at The House of Earthly Delights. If you're really interested in changing hardcoded game actions - or adding to them ... I'd look up some of those people through Googling for the mod. Or at least get the mod and look at the scripting or however they added in new actions.

People who claimed to have made dual weapon action in MW were only basically putting a weapon in the shield hand, as far as I know. It still blocked like a shield. And the most desired fighting requests were for Eastern style fighting - karate, judo, tai kwando, etc. ... but as far as I know - The Glory Road people were the only ones to actually add in new fighting moves and styles.

But maybe what thePerson98 is suggesting it possible. I'd have to hear more on that.
