Sometimes, I can't help it. I'll be in the game, playing, and all of a sudden I'll think of something really silly for a mod suggestion. It's especially rough when it seems too serious. Anyway, what I'd like is people to post the strangest/oddest ideas they can come up with here. Who knows? maybe a modder will give a crack at it.

1- Enchanted Codpiece. This, when all your weapons break, can be removed from your...uh...cod and used as a flail. As a codpiece, it can be enchanted. "Glowing codpiece of DOOOMMMM!!"

2- working toilets. I've yet to see a RPG with this...could be a first.

3- New Spell. Flaming Cheeks of doom...you bend over...well, you get the idea.

4- non traditional roles for characters...how many times have you seen a 'dark warrior with a mysterious past?"..doesn't this and the rest get old after a while? How about:

An elf who's secret wish is to be a lumberjack
A cleric/knight with Tourette's syndrome...can you imagine prayer with them?
A necromancer who faints at the sight of blood
A bard who stutters
A druid taxidermist

5- peasants...well, the world looks empty without them. The wolves would have something to drag off.

These are just a few off the top of my head. Feel free to post your own.

Now over 50 or more silly suggestions throughout the thread...each group of 5 contains one real idea..see if you can guess which one is the real one?

Oi, imagine the Divine Crusader with Tourette's syndrome.

as for 5 two things can be done

the mod NPCs with Jobs or make a mod with AI packages outside every city (- kvatach) farming 7-4 go inside for a hour and make food ( SI ) and eat and go wonder in the nearist town for 3 hours then go to bed untill 7 and the cycle can start again

there are so many ideas you do for that if you can find the righr Aninamatsions

Col John Sheppard

I thought as much. Problem is..do people want it? Would it risk filling up areas where creatures spawn?

thats always a risk in oblvion you have to take it and as you said "The wolves would have something to drag off." it would give oblvion a bit of a medveil feel to it with that if you think about it

Col John Sheppard

Also a variety of peasant weapons could become available...the Gudendag, the ole' pitchfork(I know there's a pitchfork animation out there so this could be done). The peasants could also spawn many quests or mini quest ideas. "free the peasants", "exterminate the peasants", running a real estate where you not only have to mind the estate matters(there's numerous one's of these, all of which are very good that I've seen)but have to keep the peasants clothed, fed and happy.

there has been a mod that makes most farmer items into weapons and running a estate with them? the more peasants you buy the more money you get but you have to supply them with food? or they will attack you?

i think you mean something like that?

Col John Sheppard

yeah, something like that. What I'd really want would be too vast an undertaking for anyone to attempt. Divide up the continent into areas, each controlled by a different lord. I'm afraid what I'd end up wanting would be tactical strategy, my other passion. But I'd like to keep Oblivion an RPG...I've plenty of sources for strategy.

>using arrows as darts

>stowing NPCs in barrels, crates and big containers.

and push the NPC filled barrel down a hill?

Col John Sheppard

Maximum silliness would be for someone to rig a dance animation of the "Knights of Camelot" number from Monty Python's Holy Grail, and incorporate it into an expansion mod for Cloud Ruler Temple.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfGpVcdqeS0

Would work well, with plenty of havoc'd objects on the tables...

haha i have to agree that would brilliant with the blades

Col John Sheppard

Lol Monty Python is hilarious!! Insane! I love it!! .

How about like a mod where you get a spell called "FIERY NAKED EYEBALLS =D" and you can cast it on someone and all their clothes dissapear and there eyeballs burst into flames and they scream and run about!! First thing came into mind...

OR even a spell called "Egyptian walk.." and you cast it and people do Egyptian walks and its like really big! .

How's about a portal spell that would require two half-naked females to hit each other with pillows in order to be cast?

As mentioned in the first bit, the ability to cast spells from your...hindquarters would be great. All you would need to do it a new cast animation and change the spell node for the male skeleton. I don't know how hard that would be, but it sounds simple enough...

Ihateregistering, you get that from LFG Comic by any chance?

i think the mod called "ancient towers" has a woking toilet
here... http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16308

look at the picture called "who didnt flush"

you cant put stuff in the loo but my sides hurt after seeing that picture

Col John Sheppard

My magical eight ball says: "The chances are high".

Speaking of which.

I'd also like a new aresting option. If you kill someone you could say: "He fell down some stairs".

LLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

6- Evil grass- the 'root' of all evil. Each blade of grass in the entire game attacks.

7- pigeons -what city is complete without these rats with wings? Least we'll have yet another reason for our characters to take a bath.

8- flatulance- Ever think the world of Oblivion is just too.....ordered?

9- rednecked merchants- How ya'll doin'? wouldja like to getcha some armor?

10- slings, with rocks for bullets(in case you don't realize, every one of these groups of 5 'silly' suggestions is going to have one that actually makes sense.

> A spell that works like the BFG of Doom!

> A spell that makes the target attack himself

A Rick Roll spell, which playes the refrain of Never gonna give you up. (Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, etc.) that instantly kills the target after the sound is finished.

you could have a disco ball spell or item that makes the ball go in the air and everyone starts dances together like the groovitron from ratchet and clank.

i think that has already been made i am not sure

Col John Sheppard

Yup, seen it on youtube, don't know how's it called though.

"Burn,baby, burn! Disco Inferno!!" *Shakes hip and points arm skyward with finger extended*

As to the Rickroll, Which mod puts Rhino the Mad in the Imperial City market? Hilarious at times. I've seen him play "baby, don't hurt me" and "banana phone" and 'bohemian rhapsody" among several expressions.

11- Sesame Street monsters- beware the evil Gonzo! Kermit the Slasher Frog! Fozzy the Feral Bear(wokka, wokka, wokka), Piggy the Putrid, Bert and Ernie the Evil two headed ogre thing!! Big Bird and his peck of doom!

12- Hippies! Every time you go to slay a monster, a member of Greenpeace fights you..."hey, man, like monsters are part of NATURE, man. " Of course their fighting techniques consist of smoking pot and trying to get a concert together.

13- Saturday Night of the living dead fever! a quest mod. Tons of zombified John Travoltas invade! Will you slay this evil or succumb to boogie fever!

14- plant oriented monsters like Demonic jack O' Lanterns, Swamp sludge, The Headless Horseman, Gnolls, Ankou(evil female undead of Celtic lore), Mindflayers, Sahaugin(water race of monsters), sharks?, Draconians(lizard men unique to Dragonlance),

15- Monty Python's dead parrot sketch conversation with a shopkeeper. "he's bleeding demised! He's shuffled off this mortal coil, thrown down the curtain, and joined the bleeding choir invisible! he's an EX-parrot!"

civil war cyrodiil! East vs West different factions. IC is neutral trying to sort everything out.

there is a mod very similar to that Gibraltar i cant remember whats it called but it know it exists

Col John Sheppard

geez, it seems all my ideas are taken.

Check UMPA Disco.

Lots of fun casting it in a City or in a throne room. No ball, thou.

Surely there are other ideas for silliness out there....

16- Potato guns...I recently saw a woman on TV show how to load and fire one.

17- Rock, paper, and Scissors games with NPC's....to the death!!!

18- Cities and towns filled with advertising...what city or town is complete without outlandish signs selling junk? "Buy Adidas Armor", "Buy Reebok steel boots", "buy your alchemy ingredients at Wal-Greens!"(seriously, I'd stop playing if this occured.)

19- Rune Armor- Midnight Blue with a touch of bulkiness in it's weight, but it'd be better than Daedric by a hair...You'd have to decide if the weight was worth it.

20- Silly Putty Swords...Why would you need to stab someone with it when you can use it to press comic strips into it?

the stoner rockifier! you drop a boombox and play any song by the pixies except waves of mutilation , all things with health take 25 damage per second while anywhere remotely within earshot of it!

** SNIP **

EDIT by LHammonds (Moderator): Please refrain from using vulgar language and trying to bypass the bad-word filter.

lol do you take health damage by listening to them or something? that's rare when the pixies get brought up in a topic. awsome
this song's about a superhero named tony.. tony endgamecutter should edit that last word out of his post, is that how that song goes?

21- A Crash to desktop utility- For those who get off on self abuse...this appeals to the masochist

22- A swordbreaker- An off hand weapon that is jagged with deep notches for catching an opponent's sword, sometimes, if timed just right, a deft twist of the wrist can break the sword if it's caught inside it. Yes, this sword really did exist in history.

23- the Spanish Inquisition!!!(dramatic music), NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!"

24- REgular church services- for those who need a cure for insomnia(an anonymous possum, et tu brute, my carburator breakadowna)

25- Barney, the Malevolent Dinosaur....I can't wait to slay this over and over and over again.

I apologize for the earlier brief 'bump'. It wasn't intentional. I was about to type 5 more into it but my wife came home and I had to go. I thought I'd have time to fill it in later.

yeah, i forgot about bad language filters, its strange that we would need to filter our language for oblivion though, when they swear in the game.

A lot of games possess bad language filters, most of which are too extreme. Runescape's is among the worst. For instance, there's almost no way to type the word assassin..because the word contains 2 bad words inside it.

Yohoho Puzzle Pirates uses something different. Instead of xing out the bad words, it changes them. OMG becomes "billions of blue blistering barnacles". That's just one example of many.

26- adoring fan massive spawns! Having only ONE fan just isn't enough! We need a mod that gives you hundreds...Nay, Thousands!! of adoring fans...all speaking out of sync! Just imagine the thrill of thousands of By Azura's...all sounding different!

27- Super powerful, anti everything armor! yes, you can simply stroll all over the world killing everything in your path without even having to go through the laborous process of thinking!

28- A sect of dark paladins. This sect, worshipping evil gods, serve as the antithesis of all that is good, BUT they have a legitimate ordered sect. Sort of Lawful Evil. The armor could be like Dragonlance's Dark Paladins of Takhisis, with a skull and lily(I'd prefer the Nightshade instead of lily) as their symbol.

29- Sword of no effort- You simply sit yourself down anywhere in Oblivion and tell the sword to slay whatever you desire and bring you back the loot! No longer do you have to bother moving at all!

30- Boots of butt kicking. Once you don this apparel, you cannot control yourself! suddenly whenever you encounter something, whether a harmless NPC or monster, you kick. Of course, you'll never complete a quest and the animation will give you motion sickness, but who cares since you're now supreme butt kicker!

*anyone want to guess which one is a real suggestion?

What is number 28?

31. The freeman family from the Boondocks. Throw in Chorrol, that'll be worth a laugh.

31- Village idiots- Yes, drooling fools speaking nonsense constantly. worse, they seem to know you and who you are. Endless embarrassment.

32- More creatures from lore and beyond:
1-Gnolls
2-sharks
3-barricuda
4-githyanki
5-mriswith(from sword of truth)
6-draconians(from Dragonlance)

24-Hags(no, not Madonna)
25-Giant ants and other insects
26-Sahuagin
27-Mandragora
28-Ankou
29-Mind flayers
30-Behemoths
31-dust devils
32-giant scorpions
33-Eaters of the Dead(were actually a surviving band of neanderthals in the book)
34-Terrorbirds


33) Winos- Very realistic beggars...complete with urine stained pants and a bottle of ripple

34) Leisure suits and gaudy gold jewelry on a hairy chest!...relive those golden days of the 70's...actually not golden, more bronze...hell, pewter.

35) Realistic...um....droppings. All those horses and animals have got to be leaving spore around? "Ew, he stepped in it!"

36) Scooby Doo mystery Guild- Complete with talking mutt! Now everything you do can be blamed on pesky kids!

37) Sword of Infinitely Charged +300 Fireballs with an attack of 1000 hp each swing!!! Make the game as boring as watching paint dry!! Think of the reaction of NPC's in town when they see you with this!!! They might even utter the magic words "Wow, look at the cheated muscles on you!"

38) Sarcasm guild- to teach lessons for those of you who have taken my silly suggestions seriously. Comes with a book explaining sarcasm, a staff of sarcasm, and a sword of infinite sarcasm.

39) Accountant Roleplaying kit-I'm tired of living a life of excitement. I want to play an accountant! I want a ledger of calculation made right now!! I want to be in charge of taxes!!! I want a Pencil Of infinite Corrections!!

40) Fruits and vegetables added(forgive me if they already have and I just haven't seen them yet)
1-plums
2-grapefruit
3-cocoa beans(mmmm...chocolate)
4-Peas(earliest known vegetable, comes in many types)
5-Lemons
6-Limes
7-coffee beans
8-Baked Beans(this would make my joke idea, flatulance, a reality)
9-Squash
10-Soybeans
11-Cucumbers, with pickles resulting
12-A cooking skill added(why the hell not with all we already have in the game?) Mastery gets you ability to make rare dishes worth a pretty penny

14-Calquat(can be used as containers)
15-Tangerines
16-nectarines
17-Dewmelons

19-Celery(eewwww..gross)
20-broccoli(again...ewww..gross)
21-Spinach(guh, guh,guh, what kind of name is Olive Oyl, sounds like some kind of lubrikink)
22-Silkworms for making ...silk to go with tailor skill. Feed them different leaves to get different colors

As everyone who has read my silly suggestions knows, I put one good idea in every five. Can you guess which one it is?

I actualy like the creatures Idea alot. Too bad it's soooo much work. Creating even a single creature is hours and hours of work.

I still play HOMAM3, I like Behemoths a whole lot, nasty brutes . I actualy wish oblivion was way more like HOMAM3. Harpies! Medusas! Hydras! Basilisks! Thunder Birds! Buahaha, killing such mighty creatures would surely prove difficult - and fun!

41)how about a house mod that adds the simpsons's house for the player to live in and Homer,dressed in palace armor and acting s a guard

a sword that sings in an annoying voice and never shuts up
TANKS!!!
a spell that turns people into random critters

Wabajack does that.

41) A Brett Favre Daedric Shrine!! wait a minute? This has already been done? yes, it has. Complete with nords with cheeseheads worshipping it. (As a fellow alumni of the same UNiversity, Southern Mississippi, and only living about 15 miles away from him, you'd think I'd be more tolerant, but this mod is ridiculous)

42) Oblivion Redneck Rampage! yes, with shotguns!! Eat pork rinds and blow the hell out of whatever is rustling in the bushes!!! yeeeeeeehhhhhhhaaaaawwww!

43) A Smurfs Race- 3 apples high!! Get points for the smurf stomping minigame!!! Take their mushrooms with them inside it and make bluer potions!!!

44) A gothic horror quest/city- Run from Jack the Ripper and his evil minions. Uncover the mystery behind WHO HE IS!!!, Take On MISTER HYDE!! Walk the dreaded streets of London being wary of cutpurses, thieves, and bandits. Fight the Undead inside the Tower of London and uncover an ancient mystery!! What about those vampires inside Big Ben?

45) Enjoy the life of a peasant race! Get up in the morning, milk the cow, feed the chickens and mule, then trot out to the farm for hours of backbreaking labor, eat basic food all the live long day, then watch as the local lord takes most of it!! then go to sleep and and wake up to do it all over again. The thrills never end.

As everyone who has read my silly suggestions knows, I put one good idea in every five. Can you guess which one it is?

46- more wolves,crabs, and rats....really I can't get enough of these.....geez

47-cows and chickens- What's missing? these are.

48- A dungeon filled with cheer and peace and love!! Dare you enter the Elven Paradise of sheer Boredom!!!

49- Purple Oblivion. Everything in it is purple...no more will you have to worry about the dreaded missing mesh or texture turning a bridge or rock or the whole ground purple...Now the whole thing is purple...mesh mistakes will cause items to have different colors.

50- Even more realistic sewers...I, for one, always wonder why human waste doesn't rain down from above while under a grate from overhead. Now, this will make sewers more realistic!!! Sludge Monsters could result as a mutation!!!...don't ask me what it drops when dead.

As everyone who has read my silly suggestions knows, I put one good idea in every five. Can you guess which one it is?

One or a few of the Unique Landscapes mods adds hundreds of different species of crab, 50 different colour variations of Wolves, and about 1000 different size variations of Rat.... oops, I mean, the cows and chickens. Check em out!

The chicks are around Reynald Jermaines house which is developed into a huge working farm.

And the cows are.. umm.. Chorrol Hinterland i THINK.... cant do much with 'em but they add a nice asthetic touch.

Asthetic touch?

Moo?
