New Race Selection

[Senten]

Okay,here is my Kothringi & Orma.

Kothringi : Grey Skin & A new eye



Orma: Just a new eye




How do you like it?

[MarcusAurelio]

It's nice , but an idea : I'd imagine Kothringi with Mesoamerican hairstyles
What do you think 'bout that?

Sounds cool,but how looks the mesoamerican hair?Afro?

Great work, Senten. The Kothringi looks really good and I think once you add some new hairstyles we could go with that right away.

The Orma eyes are also great - do you think you could combine them with this race:

to make something more exotic-looking?

Regarding the Paatru, I think we need a definitive vote on this:

Will the Paatru be
(a) Creatures, made from retextured Grummites or Baliwogs
(b) An NPC race, made from the Atlanteans or something similar?

I'd imagine something like these , ponytails or something similar with feathers or some other trinkets serving a decorative purpose.

Ibsen, personally I'd say just stick with a modified Fantasma effect for the Marsh Elves, for two reasons - one, all the Marsh Elves are long dead and now ghosts, like the Ayleids, and two, we should cut down on the number of extra races in the mod to a minimum, to stop it getting too big. There's no point adding two new races when some normal Altmer NPCs with a spell effect would do the same job.

I agree with your prioritising of the new Argonian types. Furthermore, I suggest that we use the Zuili as "lizardmen" - basically giant Argonians who attack on sight and are basically animals - they are based on the ones that appear in Arena. But these are non-essential and could be cut.

As for the Paatru, my preference would be for a modified Grummite. Maybe they could keep baliwog-like creatures as pets?

As for the different human tribes... we should prioritise those based on how important they are to quests and how likely they are to have survived the Khanaten Flu.

@ Senten & Marcus Aurelio
I thought by 'Mesoamerican' you meant Incan and Mayan, so it might help to get the idea of costume first. The 'American Indian' idea suggested by Marcus would work well with these, of course:

Incan:

Mayan:

I imagine plaited braids to the side and/or back would work well. But some in these photos have shoulder-length hair at the sides and, I think, braids at the back.

We're not using Akavir's Tsaesci, because I know, personally, how hard they've worked on it, and I have a MAJOR alternative that'd capture the image much more efficiently.

We can use this as a base model, and use Grey's (If I can get ahold of him) Naga head. This would look AMAZING in-game. Not to mention, the hundreds of other resources that Waalx has avaliable. Although I'll have to get personal permission to use them, seeing as how Waalx has closed open Resource rights on WAC.

Anyways, please continue your discussion. :goodjob:

Agreed with Deeza as regards the Argonians (Saurian, Sea, Dune, Draconian and so on), Marsh Elves (Fantasma), Lizardmen (Ziuli), Paatru (modified Grummites and Baliwogs) and the strategy for the human races.

Definitely agreed with Tlo1048 on the subject of the Naga (Gnolls with Grey's new head) :goodjob:

Shall I contact the modders concerned? I would have to do this later as it's now getting late here in the UK and I have work in the morning...

You can contact them, if you want to. But before anyone gets worked up about this, let me take a look at them all, and modify them as best I can right now. Then we'll see what happens.

P.S. I saw those DUNE lizard mounts, and it's a DEFINATE must-have. Looks awesome.
P.P.S. You shouldn't be too worried about Lore, seeing as how it's virtually non-existant for BM. We can compile ideas, and then sort out the best.
P.P.P.S. I'll put up some more pics of WAC later, and you can see why I'm so excited to put them in BM.
