Zombism/Army of Darkness Options

[Snow_Fox]

Ok... I have seen zombies in game.. I want to know.. if a zombie kills something.. does the thing it killed become a zombie? If not.. is it possible to add this?

Army of Darkness.. pretty funny movie.. Think some random comic stuff from it could be added?

Well that would be good, I mean we do know that zombies, vampires, ghosts, werewolves and other such things live in Tamriel. It would be kl if you could catch "Zombism" like you can catch vampirism and lycanthropy (Well actually in oblivion you can't, I hope someone mods werewolves back into the game).

Well I don't *want* to be a zombie myself..

But, like I said.. usually it spreads.. so I think it would be neat if when a zombie bit say a rat.... the rat became a zombie.. imagen.. a whole town becoming zombies..

lol, awesome, like dawn of the dead meets Tamriel

[Snow_Fox]

dawn of the dead/army of darkness(sorta)/resident evil..

Zombies are usually found in really old myths.. and futuristic science fiction..

Either way I think these could be interesting mods.

In Tamriel, Zombies are usually created when either:
A ) The dead don't stay dead or
B ) A Necromancer does his stuff.

No Zombie-disease.

Of course, you could script it to do something, I think. But I dunno. I'm no scripter. But it seems simple, so it MIGHT be simple, or at least, possible.

True.. the disease of zombism being spread by bites is more of a scifi type thing..

But, on the other hand zombies pop up in Tamriel for multiple reasons..
(spoilers)


A. defiling a tomb (spoilers but, if you remember the black hand mission where you fake the guys death)

B. Experiment gone wrong (erthor for the magies guild recommendations)

C. like you said the dead just don't want to stay dead.

D. as you also said.. necromancers

E. No telling reasons I'm not including..

So.. I don't think "biting" would be too unreasonable to spread the curse of zombism.

I'm also aware that there is either a mod or its in the game naturally "goblin totems"... that if you steal.. the goblins will attempt to take back and they actually declare war onother goblin tribes for it..

SO it shouldn't be too hard to change the totem to a book slap the name "necronomicon" on it.. and change the goblins to skeletons or zombies..

ANyway.. I think it would be cool to toss down the necronomicon in the middle of a city and have 10-12 skeletons or zombies stroll into town looking for it.. I have seen gaurds go crazy and att a skeleton I summoned.. so imagen some poor sap picking up the nomicon and then the skeletons coming for him.. then the gaurds going for them.
