2 - Some other things.. Tell me ideas please.
1 - Have the ability to summon your own personal boar fitted for your size along with a real one near the Thirsk Mead Hall. His name is Gloomiski and due to him being a summon he will follow you everywhere and even zone in and out areas you are in. He stays with you until he dies or the 24 hours run out.
2 - Shoot spears out your hands.
3 - Shout wind like energy all over your weapons and magically help you attack faster, also comes with one that affects your allies.
4 - Craftable riekling armor and riekling spears also with riekling claws that has unique sounds attach to them.
5 - You wear armor and things like that but no headgear. Theres a strongbox that contains all the items that have been done in the back of the chief throne - EDIT Headgear is now Functional.
6 - Changeable skin color and hair color.
7 - Change into a riekling with default animations, but it doesnt really work the way i want it to so not fully usable yet - EDIT Rings works but may be still bugged.
1 - If you started a new game or haven't been in solstheim yet the riekling voice will be silent until you first set foot there for some reason, this might not even be a bug but its minor.
RECOMMEND MODS:
1 - Customizable Camera by Arindel http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37347/?
Change that horrible 3rd person camera for short characters so its closer to them.
2 - Spears By Soolie by Soolie http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62609/?
Immerse yourself with these spear animations.
3 - SBS - Throwable Arrows by Abbalovesyou http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62885/?
Why just have throwable spears when you can have throwable arrows? Requires Spears by soolie to work.
Bestheda - For the awesome game that is skyrim with all its modding tools
