ok something else I worked on this week-end.. something a bit macabre !!

In the old days it was customary, to dissuade the evil doers, to place gibbets and stuff like that at the crossroads or near city walls.

So I'm in the process to build a library of these things.. the images below are a sample of what I got now.. I have more. Gibbeting, hanging, crucifixion, impalement, ... many things on the menu. ;) These are the ones I saw in-game while testing the last time...

Impalement is too disgusting to show here... crucifixion is a bit much up-here too, But it's a bit more widely known as an icon than impaling.

Anyway..these give a little visual bonus to the roads and such I think. And I'm going to place some 'tortured souls' in nearby the prisons too, and I'm going to make a spot on the Imperial City island that will most probably be name 'Gibet Hill' or something.

That may be why why the prisons are all empty.. ? :)

Waalx, you do know that you are slowly becoming the 10th divine of Oblivion.

If you release these things, I will worship you, Cthulhu will worship you and everybody will worship you. :shock:

I just wished that you would finally release a bit for us to play. But I might be impatient.
This looks great though, well done, I don't think Bethesda could have done any better.
Keep up the good work, and in the name of Aedra and Daedra, release something. :-(

Mh, please make too much of this gallows etc. I'm tired to see always and everywhere corpses in Oblivion.

But: Nice Work.

Nice. Well, not nice. Kind of ... weird. But well done. (I think!) :?

Do the hanging dudes have havok? And are you planning on having a naughty PC put into a gibbet instead of a dungeon when caught?

Two quotes from fantasy films came to mind when I saw this ...

1. "Contemplate this on the tree of woe."

2. "I am the greatest swordsman that ever lived!"

Great work.

Great work Waalx. Your swords are a great addition to my game, but I hope you will release something in the next few days instead of teasing us with new stuff :P . I made a new mage character yesterday and he really wants that battlemage gear! :)

Overall, I would say your swords are the best of all models for oblivion. Adonnays are great too, but I think you have much more experirence and modeling skill. Whereas he relies on bumpmaps and textures to make smaller things stand out, you model it instead, which looks much better and of course is more realistic.

However, I noticed a problem with one of the swords. The blade on the Redguard broadblade seems to be turned the wrong way, the side that you are hitting someone with is the blunt side, and the sharpened part is facing you. The hilt certainly seems the right way round though.

Once again, great work. And keep it up :D . Three cheers for Waalx! (And a possible release of WW&WW in the next couple of days)
That's right, that's the truth! Drive 'er straight sideways lad!

cool stuff, don't forget the random not dead people in the gibbet though, no one dies on the first day :-D-)

I agree with everyone else though, it would be nice to get our hands on some of the cool stuff you are making. personally I'd like the new Arena stuff, especially if it's addon and not replacer.

but as always, keep up the awesome work.

A neutral camp, I've chosen Sweetwater Camp and made it into something bigger. This will be one of the main place where you can go buy and sell hunting stuff with rangers and a butcher to cash the whole games carcass at full price.. And as it's right in front of the IC island it's also at the near center of the map like for IC., so I think the placement is convenient. It's going to be a central point for WAC.

Since I'm going to redo some vanilla camp and fill them with bandits and not only goblins, I wanted to have a different feel for the human camp fortification so you can discern what it is from a long way....so I made a classic spiked wall, a bit more effective than the lower ones...

Looks good :) Can we find simulair things across the Valenwood and Vvardenvell border for the Imperial Legion? Both provinces never totally stopped their rebellions...

Perhaps a few human camps that have been overrun with goblins are in order. Just to give the player a nasty shock.

not exatly what Mormacial said about border camps.. but.

Here's something I had in mind since forever, well since I started thinking of populating the border regions later-on. I was putting it aside doing other stuff..on the pic up-here you can see the snow region one. I will make a south one. The one in the pic below is the most common. It's still very much WIP stage as it's long to place them on the map... (everything is long at this point!).
