Ok, but seriously, this mod not only equips the hat perfectly on both animals and humanoid characters, but it also sticks with the character after it passes through a load screen? You must have this mod author at gun point, because holy crap, that is amazing skill.

[@Dead8Head]

Could there be a variation of this mod where you fully take over host and complete the game but the catch is, the host can not heal when you taken over and you have to switch to a different host indefinitely when your about die. Just a thought

[@Joov]

That would be amazing. Certainly something to pitch to DDM!

[@Ddmlink]

I did actually try doing this just for fun, but you can't fully take over another actor, unfortunately. You can actually control them (like where they walk) but not make them attack or activate anything. The dying part, on the other hand, would be simple to do. I just opted not to do it as I figured Joov would have a hard enough time getting from Riverwood to Whiterun.

[@Ddmlink]

Well, you can make them attack, but you can't choose a target

@@Ddmlink there actually IS a mod that straight up lets you take control of npcs called alternate actors on the nexus but it came out years ago and it may be completely busted on current skyrim, it actually had a feature you could enable where if you died you turned into a ghost that had to possess a new actor to interact with the world.

[@redj0ker81]

12:36 “I don’t need potions, I need to make a seven year old happy” oh god I died when you said that.

[@Xappan]

You should play this challenge in Oblivion. Oblivion NPC's have much more freedom in their choices and they also have set routines, as in they go different places as the day/week progresses. Some npcs even go from town to town on certain days and so, it would be more interesting in my opinion. Skyrim's npcs (sadly) are very railroaded.

[@Joov]

This would be an absolute blast. From what I know I think Gamebryo is a bit more limited in what can be done with mods, especially Oblivion. I could be wrong though! (I mean look at some of the New Vegas mods on the same engine)

[@joec2078]

The 'host' idea is pretty neat. Imagine starting as a smaller chaurus that can take over a host. You control the NPC. If the NPC dies, you pop back out or you can choose to abandon the host (doing so causes the host to die).

[@UnknownSquid]

There actually used to be an old mod that pretty much did this, except without the chaurus aspect, and that if you died you were just dead. Sadly it was unfinished and buggy, and the mod author claimed he wasn't able to fix it to a satisfactory degree, but for the short time I experimented with it anyway, it was pretty cool. It basically gave you a spell that would let you possess any other humanoid NPC and become them with full control, able to chain into others without returning. Your old body would become an NPC and simply sandbox in the area you left it. You'd inherit the new hosts HP/magicka etc, as well as all equipped inventory (losing yours and keeping theirs). One bug that actually worked out really cool, was that any tattoos/warpaint you had on your original character would transfer over to the new host. I started out as a witch in BlackReach, and ventured out to possess a hunter from the nearest inn. It was really cool when I realised the spooky eye markings I'd picked carried over. Sadly, it did crash incredibly frequently, especially after I'd made a few body swaps, even with nearly all other mods disabled. Eventually I had to give up on playing it any further. Was an awesome concept though.

I imagine that this would be pretty fun as a cappy sort of situation, but where you don't have a "Mario" so to speak, you just go from host to host controlling other NPCs but I imagine that would be more difficult to program.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

kinda like revenging spirit on gameboy

[@WinterFox1000]

Imagine if the mod actually allowed you to control the host you possessed but when you swap hosts the previous one dies. Each host has there own skills, spells etc. And you have to work with what you have to beat the game.

If the hat started taking damage without a host, it would justify/balance your ability to move around when you're disembodied. I would legitimately play a save that way. Edit: A really cool change could be that you actually possess npc's Mario Odyssey style, but THEY take constant damage while possessed so you have to keep switching hosts to live. Then you could theoretically beat the actual game.
