Ether Dynamics: New NPC Teamwork, Weapons, Spells, and Magic Items

Description
A new mod exploring teamwork and complex NPC behavior in Skyrim through enhanced Artificial Intelligence, as well as new Weapons, Spells, and Magic Items.

For a preview of the new features, and a general review of gaming AI, please refer to the following video:

This mod features an invasion of Markarth by a handful of advanced AI Actors. The player is encouraged to participate however they see fit – observe, fight, or assist the new NPC’s.

The player can also summon a variety of other Skyrim NPC’s via Console Commands to see how they fare against these new combatants.

For a sneak peek of the new Weapons, Spells, and Magic Items, take a look around the SilverBlood Inn. Related quest under development, stay tuned!

Feedback on the AI changes, as well as general game design, is welcome -- I look forward to hearing from you!

hey ChopMasterOnion... look at the games you compared skyrim with... dark souls and god of war... both franchises are fantasy, but both are pure action rp games (the former being almost pure action). now let's look at the retrospective of tes... the series shine only when judged from rpg perspective. rich rpg world is what makes tes series stand out, that's what makes it unique. another tes trademark is that it's firs person rpg... you payed no attention to this small but crucial detail. this was my only doubt, really. it seems like you honestly believe that you can improve rp game by making it more action game.

Any word on when a global scale might be released? (fingers crossed)

@////: not sure what you mean by that? I'm happy to discuss further if you'd like.

absolutely confused feelings about this. head down to virtuosity and enthusiasm, but, heck... this butchers last remaining crpg aspects of tes V like a couple of skeevers!

@blade the master of illuminati : The full spread of spells is shown in the main video -- there aren't any hidden ones.

how many spells is it in this mod?

@Professor Pyrowise: Hey, thank you so much! :D Glad it's something you enjoyed. If you liked this one, you should check out the link above for the new Quest series. I'd love to hear your reflections on that as well!

@Ruin Stormshower: Hey, thanks! :) Yep, the plan is to show more capabilities in the Quest mod shown above, and then to release an "AI Framework" for all modders -- that way other Dungeons / Quests / etc. can benefit from some of the same advances shown here. It'll be available for free for everyone, and I'll be working with folks from Skywind and a few other groups to get their stuff up and running.


Thanks again for your interest and feedback!!

Hi all!

Before I get into specific responses, I have good news: a new mod is out with the enhanced AI, a Quest, CRAZY HARD boss fights, and unique weapons! You can check it out here:

@Rpg Blaster Rpg: I didn't alter the AI for all of Skyrim, just a handful of enemies specifically for this invasion. There shouldn't be an impact on any other mods you have running, or the "vanilla" game.

@alistairbeeson: As per the video, just hop down to Markarth, go into the Silver Blood inn, and talk to Sebastian Hastings. That'll get the party started.

Wow, I used to test this out for you years ago. Its good to see your mod come so far. Do you plan to have your ai changes work on a global scale?
Professor Pyrowise 2 Oct, 2015 @ 2:42pm 
I just wanted to say that I am amazed by how much skyrim could be improved. After watching this I realized how simple the combat of skyrim is and I wanted to thank you for this revelation. I look forward to this mod becoming something amazing over the years.
