Meet the Berserkers

Published: June 28th 2023, 8:56:54 pm

So I've been hard at work these last few days, rebuild my berserkers mod from the ground up!

I've almost implemented all the features I want, including the possibility for the player to become a berserker with its own werebear skill tree. Once you're a berserker, you'll automatically turn into a werebear when your health falls below a given threshold during combat. You can also turn into a werebear by eating the "Bear's Paw" mushrooms growing near these strange stone statues found in the wilderness. If you haven't accomplished the berserker ritual, then eating one of these mushrooms will grant you a short "Berserker's Fury" buff.

Concerning the new enemies, I'm still working on their design but already pretty happy with the results. 

I still have to come up with actual perks for the new skill tree now that the art is done. I have also lots of other ideas I'll implement these coming days, like a new blessing when you pray to the bear statues, or an amulet of Tsun that will let you control your transformations (thus protecting you from the influence of Hircine). My ultimate goal would be to include all these things into a quest to progressively introduce the new features to the player while also telling an interesting story. I'll see when the time comes if I'm able to do that, otherwise this will be released as a simple creatures + werebear addition.

I'm hoping to be able to share a playable version next week for you all!

Cheers
