silverthorneYou want me to do what, to whose dog, for how many Oreo cookies?!
So, anyway. Anyone who's kinda read my meanderings a little knows that I happen to like Morrowind, which is a nice little, kinda open ended, wander-and-look at the pretty colors RPG video game. I came by it by way of the X-box, and now have it on my Laptop as well (other than the pinball machine, I've cleared all the other games off it so that there's Room To Work With).
Now, the PC version comes with a 'contruction set', which essentially allows you to go in, build things like dungeons and buildings, decorate them, and then set your newly made creation into the game itself via a plug-in file. (I'm working steadily on a new 'home' right now, because I'm never satisfied with the size and storage of the ones you can earn or claim without getting put in jail if you're caught in-game. I collect too much shit that I like to peer at from time to time. Shinies. Gotta love them.).
This also means that you can create your own clothes and races--Two things I love doing, just as something artistic to do--and likewise throw them into the game, either as NPC's or as a character you can play.
This is heaven for someone like me.
Only...there's this problem, see? The game animations for such things are dependant on something called .nif files. Because, you know, 3-D and all that. So you need a progam that can make .nif files and support 3-D meshes and so forth.
Well, okay then. Let it not be said that for the sake of character design (hobby or not), that I won't shell out a few bucks so that I can do it right.
...The program costs $800.
Ouch.
I've already sold my soul to the laptop gods. And I don't think I'm ever going to have a first born, so that's right out.
Sucks to be me.
