Well basically what I thought up in the shower was a unique follower that people might care about. Obviously when people go through the trouble of getting specific mods for followers they don't want them to die, but they won't be emotionally impacted if they do. But that's beside the point.

 

Being more specific, I imagined that you, the Dragonborn, get caught up in some little insignificant quest, so you go to do it. Thing is, there's a group of Argonian slavers that are in the way and they capture you, not really knowing who you are. You get transported to a slave camp in Southern Morrowind/Northern Blackmarsh (because the Argonians invaded Morrowind when the Red Mountain erupted, then enslaved many Dunmer and claimed a good portion of Morrowind, in case you didn't know). Because the slave camp's overseer or whatever it's called (who also happens to be an Argonian Shaman (I was thinking they'd be a female)) sees strength in you, they assign you to the deepest, most physically grueling part of an (was thinking ebony, or maybe you could make up some other rare ore) mine.

 

Then, enter the Dunmer follower (whom I haven't cared to name). He's been in those mines for quite some time, and knows his way through them well. He knows how the guards operate, he knows their names, and he knows how to get around them. Basically, he's a bad ass just biding his time until an opportunity arrives. He also happens to be the de-facto leader of the other slave-miners. So after you enter the mine and get to work, he approaches you and offers you work to make your life a little easier in the deep mines. This would allow the entire quest line thing to be drawn out, and also add a lot more room for character development and the exploration of life outside of Skyrim's borders. Anyway, after you prove your worth to him doing odd-jobs like stealing, brawling, and murdering certain people for him, he realizes that you're just what he needs to get out of there. You do even more work for him preparing for the breakout, and get to know him more as a person.

 

And now the great escape. You have everything you need to escape, now just to execute the plan. You and the Dunmer use what you've gathered and make your way to the surface, freeing other slaves as you go. Of course like any plan, nothing goes perfectly according to it. Something happens and you have to solve the issue and save the Dunmer or whatever, it's up to you (the modder). After reaching the surface, you, the Dunmer, and your small army of slaves work to free the rest of the slaves from that particular camp. Eventually you face the overseer and yaaaaay you've won. You can get all your stuff back from her quarters or something that makes more sense (forgot to mention earlier, all your belongings are confiscated when you're captured). You've helped the Dunmer, so he vows to help you and figures that anywhere, even Skyrim, is better than this hell hole (the slave camp).

 

About the slave camp, it should be a location in southern Morrowind or northern Black Marsh. It should be pretty large, maybe a good portion of Solstheim in comparison. You should be able to leave it by carriage directly to one of Skyrim's border gates. It should have extensive underground tunnels and mines, because that's a pretty big part of the quests I described. All the guards and non-slave staff should be Argonians, with maybe a few exceptions.

 

This should also be fully voiced, because fully voiced mods are awesome (when the voice actors do a good job). It should have around six actors at least, for the follower, the overseer, the guards (male/female), and slaves (male/female). This is considering that all the guards are Argonians and all the slaves are Dunmer. You'll probably want to use a bit more if you want to add slaves/guards of other races to the mix.

 

Because it's also supposed to be a follower mod, he's got a bunch of dialog for different crap and can do everything a regular follower can do, yada yada yada. Think Inigo (another follower mod, a Khajiit) as a Dunmer.

 

So what do you think of this shower-wrought idea? Any takers? Any extra ideas? Any questions? Let me know below.
