[Idea] Would this be possible? ("bloody mess" gore kills idea)

[SquigglySwag]

Sorry if this is the wrong section for hypothetical questions like this.

I figured it should go in Adult because it necessarily involves nudity and sexualized violence.

Please move or delete if it's wrong.

 

I've been playing FO4 a lot, and now coming back to Skyrim, I miss the over-the-top violence.

I thought of a way to jury-rig some guro-style "Bloody Mess" kills in Skyrim, but I'd like to ask modders (because I have NO IDEA how making mods works) if they think this would be possible, and if it is, I might try working on it in my spare time.

 

Idea: make use of "Critical Kill" mechanic/effect (that's a thing, right? Like spells that kill someone in slo-mo or otherwise have a chance to apply a frozen/burnt/flaming shader?), and also make use of the Namira's Goat spell effects (I believe that mod works by having three spells attached to three weapons, each of which applies an effect on a female NPC which replaces her body with one of three gory sliced-up bodies and spawns various severed body part items).

Would it be possible for me to modify existing mechanics, spells, and effects to create a mod where: On ANY melee weapon killing blow and/or killmove on female NPC, there's a CHANCE that one of the three Namira's Goat effects (preferably random for extra variety) will activate? This would simulate the Bloody Mess perk from Fallout.

 

It would only work on (naked) female enemies, but I use More Women and Break Undies Light so that's not a problem.

 

I'm hoping that I could look into existing mods like Burn Freeze Shock Effects or Bloody Facials to find out how to apply custom shaders/effects, and see if I can just tweak some stuff to make Namira's Goat effects happen instead of or in addition to other effects. (I'd have to get mod authors' permission of course before I used their stuff, but it's not likely that this mod would ever get into a working state anyway, it's just an experiment to learn a bit about modding and MAYBE produce results)

 

Is it possible to do percent-chance on-death effects like that? Does this seem feasible or like a massive waste of time?

I feel you there on the gore part. Skyrim would've been much better with limbs being hacked off, bodies being blown to pieces etc. Alas, that one deadly mutilation mod is blegh.

Namira's goat works by having each of the three knives equip an armor on the recipient. you can use the console to find or equip these armors manually (If I remember the smallest one is called "cutted body slim"[yes that's how he spelled it, cutted]) The second portion is as you say; spawning several body food items around the victim.

 

I assume the equipping and spawning are done via script

 

I too know little about modding aside from editing leveled lists and moving around/renaming .nif and .dds files so this reply is little more than a step towards a knowledgeable modder.

Yeah, it's a shame. Especially seeing as Oblivion had deadly reflex and for whatever reason Skyrim is so much harder and bug ridden to get the same dismemberment effects despite being a more recent creation.
